Course Description
You’re a Creative. Or a been-around the block entrepreneur. Or you’re ready to bust out. And you’re on fire with the desire to succeed. You want abundance, you want creative freedom, you want a great lifestyle. But... maybe you compromise, or shrink your opinions, or you follow some rules that seem unbreakable. And over time, or over night, your idea of success gets away from your soul.
This VIDEO COURSE is an exercise in DEFINING SUCCESS ON YOUR OWN TERMS.
You’ll examine your fears and your desires. You’ll get closer to what “achievement” really means to you — right now. And you’ll get effective tools to help you take more decisive action. Soulful approaches + practical implementation = life and work transformed.
Dig it:
Answer The 11 Burning Questions -- from the dream zone to money practicalities, that are essential to creative direction.
Declare your superpowers -- hone in on your true strengths instead of trying to be well-rounded (because being well-round is highly overrated.)
Become a sovereign of time management -- learn the difference between “Power Time” and “Tyrant Time”.
Create a Stop Doing List. (What you stop doing is just as critical to your success as what you start doing.)
Learn how to set goals with soul, based on identifying your Core Desired Feelings.
Make generosity part of your business plan… because generous people always have more to give.
With her characteristic warmth and straight-up style, Danielle is asking you spirit-anchored questions about how you plan to expand your creative power. This is a wholistic approach to ambition that connects your prosperity to your soul, and your passion to being of real service in the world.
Contents & Overview
This course is where divine wisdom meets practical tools. You get 13 video “sessions” of lectures, contemplations, and a full scope Q&A series that Danielle hasn’t offered anywhere else. Every section is full of creativity prompts and printable PDF worksheets on specific topics. -- all designed to help get real, get clear and own your definition of true success.
The first sessions are groundwork for the Fire starter philosophy: operating from your zone of true strengths, using ease as a metric and committing to authenticity and service.
Then you move into casting a vision for work and life that’s grounded and expansive (yes, it has to be both!) You’ll examine fears, reconsider the value of failure and practice the art of connected conversation. You’ll learn the crucial skill of setting boundaries and knowing when to say “Hell, yes!” and “No, thank you.”
The homestretch is about choosing “power time” over “tyrant time” management, and getting clear in money expectations. And with a final that is all about heart, you’ll get inspired to build your true tribe and make generosity part of your prosperity strategy.

By Elizabeth Nesbitt on 6/20/2020
Yes. Possibly. Not feeling much fire at this moment in my life. But I am feeling more in control of who I am and where I want to be. So probably yes, this will be a good match.

This course was perfect for me. I can never get enough of Danielle. I have all the books, include the one that goes with this course. As an affiliate I believe in what is taught here and share it with others. This was genuine with so much vulnerability. Every day lessons and inspiration to do my best in everything I do. Never a disappointment.

By Shweta Gupte on 5/13/2020
I loved the Fire Starter course. It has definitely led me more clearity on the path of light. To be the light and spread it for others who need it. Enjoyed listening to each session of Danielle. I personally loved her aura and the energies she relected all throughout the course. Her composure is that if a lady with poise and sanity. My key lessons were on No Thank You, Yes Please. The most insightful one. Have never thought it that way and now have reprogrammed myself to attune to this new way of considering my feelings over the force of doing any task which would not add to my ultimate well being. Money is a little diluted aspect of me personally and would have expected more on the session on money, as I personally need a whole lot of work therein. All in all a great course. Helped me see various aspects of my persona in new light and prioritise my life for a better ME. Much gratitude to Danielle LaPorte for making such amazing work of uplifting and sharing with us. Amigos :)
