Daniele Holmes is a 7-figure online business owner with 3 successful online stores, but it didn't always start out that way.

Danielle came a long way to where she is today. She didn't come from a wealthy family or have anything given to her. She spent the last few years teaching herself and observing where the opportunities would eventually be. In 2015, with $650 in her account, Danielle would start her first online store. That online store would go on to do multiple 7 figures in revenue.

In today's episode we're going to highlight Danielle Holmes' story from dropping out midway through nursing school to becoming the first successful entrepreneur in her family.

Hey! Welcome to the Powered AF Podcast with Abu Fofanah. I'm your host, Abu and I couldn't be more excited to have you here with me today. This has been a long time coming but I'm so glad to finally be able to bring you this podcast.

My vision in creating the Powered AF Podcast was to create a space where we can share stories, strategies and lessons on how you can push past fear, overcome adversity, and imposter syndrome to achieve the highest levels of success in business and in life.

I truly believe by hearing real and unfiltered conversations from visionaries and some of the top producers in the entrepreneurial and digital space, you and others will be encouraged to step out of fear and into action -- and by listening to this podcast, you'll have the tools to do so.

Are you ready? I am so ready!!
