Hey Dani,
I really think this call is awesome! I’ve been having stress finding time to build my business and balance the rest of my life with a husband and a 4 month old son and a brother-n-law living with us. I’m going to use these time management tools that you give on the call to help with my life. It’s not going so great with prospecting and closing either. I haven’t got anyone in the 2 months since I got started. You can pray for me if you get the chance that I can learn the skills that I’m missing…
Have an Awesome Day!
The call tonight was right on the mark.
I have been trying to do this all under my own power instead of putting Him first and submitting to His will.
When I look at my time it is 8 hours at the “JOB”, 2 or 3 times a week racing home at lunch to make some phone calls for the “biz” & then racing home at night to spend a couple more hours on the phone.
Then another hour or so creating ads, uploading leads etc.
I can’t imagine I don’t sound stressed out. And I don’t have anyone to care for except 2 cats and myself and I have to admit in striving to make it I’ve not taken very good care of myself.
After the call, I did make about 4 more calls then I took myself out for a brisk walk and just thanked God for everything in my life that He has blessed me with.
My priorities must change, regardless if my business ever makes it to 6 figures or not.
It’s not worth it if I’m not serving others and if I’m not obedient to be used by Him.
I thank you for the message and I know He will use it for good in a powerful way.
By the way, I am in the closing classes on Thursday and the prayer you prayed for us last week was phenomenal. I had the best day I’ve had in a long time & I told my daughter that night I didn’t want the day to end because it had been so great. The calls I made that day were great, I enrolled an IBO & had a new member, but I wasn’t excited for me as much as I was for them. I really felt like something inside of me was being changed.
Thank you DaniJohnson.com team!!
This is one of the most powerfull calls I have ever heard. I’m divorced five years now and I know poor time management contributed to it greatly, but it’s not too late to spend quality time with God, my kids, myself and my business. Thank you for this wake up call. I have to spread the word to my friends and family.

It’s so funny and a divine appointment that you trained on this topic last night! I’ve heard on many calls, @ many 1st Steps & @ Dynasty about time management and I’d implement little by little. Just in the past week I’ve turned my ‘Lunch’ time into ‘MONEY’ time!!! Before I would buy lunch and eat at my desk at work and everyone would bother me with this or that project so now I pack my lunch and eat at my desk (which doesn’t count as a break) and then I actually go outside for 45 minutes, prospecting and scheduling appointments for the evening. Since I’ve done this consistently I’ve been making way more dials, talking to more prospects, scheduling more appointments, having more people on presentations and I’ve prelaunched 2 people in 2 days, have several follow ups, and I know that I’m less than a year away from replacing my current income!!! Who knew the difference an extra hour a day could make? ; )
I love listening to the CD’s I have with the Script Book. The info is so motivating that it makes me realize that I can do this business too. Thank you for your awesome training materials.
Dani,
Wow! My whole life has been on big waste of time only I didn’t know that is what it was until today. I have asked the why am I a failure at everything, stressed to the point of anxiety and meds, Why can’t I succeed at anything? Why is my house a wreck? The answer came through this call. What an eye opener and hope for me. I want you to know what a blessing you are to me especially when you have hard words to hear, you are speaking to me! Thank you, God for Dani being a tool for you in my life. Dani, thank you for being God’s trumpet in the marketplace and in our homes. We are going to start being a team at my house and clean up our life. I’m excited at all the possibilities of change. My business folded last month and this is why. I’m going to start over and do it right this time! Keep up the phenomenal work! I’ll be tuned in every week either on the phone or website for more knowledge to apply. May God keep blessing you to the fullest for caring for us. This nation will change through you! I praise God for you my sister. You are raising up an army and I am glad God has chosen me to be a part of this. My kids recognize your voice and stay tuned in, too.
Thank you Dani for speaking on what it is all about. God and family and reaching out to others. Seek the Kingdom of God first and all these things will be added unto you. You will become successful. I am an on fire evangelist but am lacking in certain areas on spending time where I need to spend time. I know it too but didn’t want to. But thank you Dani I will start doing what I need to do. I know that I know that I know where my priorities are lacking. You touch my heart and it is time for me to change. Please always put God in your training like you did this time. It touch my heart. It will reach others too.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your faithfulness and getting me back on track! I followed these principles raising four beautiful children who are now grown and have given me eight grandchildren. I thought that part of my life was behind me and I could now spend all my time working on my six figure income to have something to leave them. However, I realized from this call that it never ends and that is why I’ve still felt like something was missing. God’s order is necessary throughout our lives. Whenever we include time for all of the joys He gives us, only then can we truly succeed in every area. I am now straightened out and on my way in the truest sense of the word! Thank you for waking me up again!
P.S. I’ve always ’said’ that I would start reading my bible on my own other than just at church. Well all of a sudden this conviction came upon me to read the word for myself and for the past 2 weeks I’ve been reading my bible to and from work on the train!!! I don’t know why I waited so long, I love it so much that I read a book or two a day, at this pace I will have read the entire 66 books in a couple of months! But I won’t stop there, I’ll continue to reread, gird and put the scriptures to memory!
I’m certain the increase in my productivity and results in my business was directly due to adding studying the scriptures to my daily routine!
I disgust myself on how much time I have been wasting and how much I complain about how my life isn’t working. Enough is enough. I WILL stop making excuses and will have an EXCELLENT testimony by the time I see you at Dynasty. WOW - AMAZING
Dani, I can only say that I’m hooked. I’ve been on your calls before however, your latest call was the most incredible words I’ve ever heard on any training call in my life. I’m telling everyone about this awesome experience. This call was for everyone and anyone. Whether you are involved in a home based business or not this call needed to be heard by singles, married couples, divorced, or engaged, old or young. You have a GREAT power and I thank you and I thank God for you. Your willingness and ability to share has probably saved many marriages and relationships.
Thanks
Ed Willis
P.S. I’ll see you this weekend in Atlanta at “First Steps to Success”.
Dani,
No hate mail here, You are hitting the nail directly on the head!!
This message is exactly what is needed and quite frankly no one wants to preach this truth, not the media, society and unfortunately not the Christian Church community as a whole. Your conviction and enthusiasm is both invigorating and infectious.
Keep it up!
Matt
Dani,
WOW!!! I wrote out my schedule now and it was all green too. I just started my biz in June, and already, my priorities are out of wack. I set up a new schedule this afternoon, and am looking forward to implimenting it with my three little boys. I have a 4yr old, a 2yr old, and a 1yr old. I have done more with them in the past before I started my biz, but now I am looking forward to the new schedule and letting them in on more stuff with me. Thanks for reminding me of what was really important.

DEAR Dani
I believe in your teaching and need this each day to have a awesome positive
attitude I believe in talking to Lord Jesus Christ and savior and reading Proverb
in the bible. I have your CD of teaching and having some success in business.
Going to First step to success and learn now do network marketing the right way.
clarence Kontio
Wow!!! This hit it right on the head. Dani, the Lord has a way of speaking so clearly through you that it’s like you can see through all the clouds of confusion and doubt. Thank you…
Dani, all I can say is Thank you! I marked my calendar during the call, and I wanted to cry. I have a full time job, so I was getting ready to excuse myself-until I saw how much time I spend on my business on the weekends and how little time I spend on God and my family. That changed the next day! I made out a schedule that I am more comfortable with, and this also includes time set aside to listen to your training calls. I have already noticed a difference. I thank you, and my family thanks you!
This is more than a powerful Call. My Pastor just talked today about the Sights & Sounds of the World. He commented on the same issues that Dani talked about, family life, children killing their parent-grandparents, divorce and what each one of us needs to do to help the crisi. It was to put GOD first, increase our spirituality and open our eyes to the world issues. Dani you are an awesome trainer!!
I have been under the conviction that women have no place to be teaching men about the ways of God. however after listening to you the Holy spirit has given me a new conviction. that the truth is the truth no matter what the gender that speaks it. you have rejuvenated me I am going to implement your steps in my life. if I could share this call with the whole world I would. maybe the family would be reinvented in America instead of falling apart. God bless you Dani I am giving to God the fear of calling and the fear of rejection. what call would give me some insight to on overcoming those?
phil
Dani, I haven’t gone yet to any of your call and I am new in this biz but I am impress with what I have read today, it is true that when we seek GOD first, everything will follow,and not only seek GOD we have to have faith and trust in him and follow HIS commandments. (GOD’s willing) I will attend in one of your calls.(soon)
Hi Dani,
Thank you for this awesome call.
How can I get a transcription of this call?
(I’ve listened to it three times, but I need to read it too… and I’d like to forward it to my 5 children and 3 step children. )
God bless you

I listened to Dani speak about setting priorities and I have to say it really hit home. I had my priorities so messed up. During her call, I listened to her priority list and realized that I was putting my business ahead of everything and everyone that really mattered to me. I’ve now reorganized my priority list and am now making the most out of my time and not neglecting the people and things in my life that mean the most. Thanks Dani!
Oh Dani,
I loved this call. I had missed it last week, but i did get to go to First Steps to Success and I loved it!! This call has really given me some better ways to manage my time especially since i will be keeping my daughter at home with me from now on instead of putting her in daycare part time. I learned how to balance my life and manage my time better. I love the date night idea and will apply it!!
At First Steps to Success in Atlanta this past weekend..i learned so much on how to run my business and plan on going to Creating a Dynasty to get even more training. You made me realize not to be afraid to tell people that it is going to cost them something. I will be plugging people into First Steps to Success. One of the best things that i did learn there, other than how to make it in my business, was the way to get out of debt. Oh my gosh…how wonderful..my husband and I will apply this things and quit spending money at walmart and eating out..it will be wonderful to be able to say that our bills are caught up. We are also looking into to getting dial up instead of cable internet and get a landline and shut 2 of our cellphones off..yes we have 3..crazy huh!!
Dani, thanks so much..you have made our spirtual life better, our marriage stronger, and our bond with our 17 month old stronger. Also, i will be home schooling her starting here in a few months because you showed me I can do it!!
Thanks so much for this call as well as First Steps to Success!! I will see you at Creating a Dynasty..to gain more training.
God Bless You and Hans,
Christina and Chad Thompson
I really appreciated this call, hey like they say…the truth hurts. I took pages of notes, never put the pen down actually. I love how you explained how to actually manage time and gave examples from your personal life. So many trainers have provided the basics on how goals should be prioritized. What differenciated your call is the depth. In my field we are taught to order our goals as Faith Family Finance Fitness Fun/Recreational. However, no one EVER broke it down and made HOW to actually do that so clear. I want to send a big THANK YOU for that.
HOW CAN YOU GET HATE MAIL FOR THIS CALL! I WAS NEAR TO TEARS! I CANT WAIT TO MEET YOU!
IM REFERING THIS CALL TO EVERYONE! THANK YOU.
Danni thank you for blessing us with free training. I used some of what I learnt with a prospect just today. While I did not get it perfect I knew I handled it better, thanks to you. I still have so much to learn and I am really grateful that I can plug into your training. One day God willing I to will be able to help others like you have helped me. Tomorrow I will buy some coloured markers and see where I can better manage my time.
God continue to bless you and your family. If you were here I would wrap my arms around you and just hug you words cannot express the excitement I feel in my spirit of the adventure I am about to embark on. X X X

Hi Dani,
I spend a lot of my day going from task to task, wasting lots of time between them as I chop and change. Someone told me today about your colour coded system for organising time effectively. I found this call tonight and rest assured, I will have the pens out and in action first thing tomorrow. I’m going to check out time management on the bonus disc from the Carolina tapes tomorrow evening. Thanks heaps, and thanks also fto Donna for suggesting that I use your system. God Bless…..
Wow Dani!
This call was very timely for me. I have been struggling with trying to achieve some balance between my home and business and not doing very well with either. You have basically confirmed what I know has already been spoken to me and now I plan on implementing the necessary changes. Thank you for your honest and direct advice.
Continued Blessings!
Hi Dani!
You brough awareness, change, encouragement and hope in my life during the last hour than any did besides God’s word, in a long time. I have being stuggling and basically confused as to which direction to turn either to the left or the right. I thank God for your sharing your life experiences and successes. I also would like to thank Tom Yatar openly for pushing me to dream big. May Gods continue to bless you, your family and your business.
Dani, You always bring awareness to our lives, through your encouragement a kind of peace in our hearts. I want to email this to all my family who still have children at home. This is just super.
Thank You so much for carring, God Bless you,
Rose Riggs
Dear Dani,
I wish you can send more written material for us in India as many of us have problem to obtain sound system with our PC’s. It will also help to take print outs and circulate the same to people who are facing problems. This could lead many to Jesus Christ too.
Hope you will oblige,
Any suggestions to start Bible studies Etc.?
Hope to hear from you soon,
Regards,
Manuel
Establishing Priorities: It has produced a lot of interesting emotions & words:
- One’s God: Please choose the right pastor or leader to guide you. Please choose someone who cares about their community and not about a political agenda. There are too many bad seeds in every religion. Weed them out.
- Spouse/companion: Not all people have companions. For those who do, do their companions respect their in-laws? Do they understand how special the loved ones from one’s childhood still are?
- Children: Not all people have children. Some consider attention-grabbing a pet peeve. Most people free of companions and children still have spirit and more time, but do feel good about themselves. Embrace them, too. People who are marriage-free and children-free are good humans, too, who want to learn and make a difference in other people’s lives. They are not any lesser because they are this different.
- Work: If people are fulfilled, it will show. Thank you for confirming that.
- Life: Gift-giving - when managed correctly - is a gesture of love. For those who have the money to do this, great, as long as the priorities are established. Right now, for some, gift-giving to loved ones is not an expense and can be so far more fulfilling than trying to invest in a very crooked real estate market. The numbers don’t lie. Trust in real estate is at an all-time low. Let’s tackle the bad lenders and brokers before beautifying an old or vacant lot. And when is it time to seek help when edification and testimonials become too numerous, too headspinning?
I respect the priorities that you have given, Dani. I wonder what percentage of people who start to read their respected spiritual book - bible, koran, zen, etc. - find their concentration level improve. It may sound like an inane question, but who knows how many people get unnerved when establishing these priorities. Never underestimate the power of the right mindset and right connections.
You & I may have different views on what commitment is, especially with air travel and security becoming more costly. But I have and will continue to have respect for your efforts in trying to turn our great country and beyond around. Good luck with your ongoing mission. Thank you for your valuable presence in billions of lives.
We listened tonight. I went through a total medical crash 10 years ago due to poor time management. My priorities are now exactly in alignment with how you spelled it out: God - husband - grown children - work. I am in great physical shape at age 54 - yay - and happy. We have a wonderful ministry in our church and tons of great relationships. I don’t get as much done in our network marketing business because I limit my hours. I feel so blessed to have a quality of life, however, financially we are eating up our home equity, ie. going further into debt on our home. This needs to be managed, especially because at the end of August I am beginning classes for an MDivinity degree - another great blessing. Last night we already decided to pull back on our ministry for a season. Please pray that I receive and implement the wisdom that the Lord has promised to those who seek Him and obey His Word. Thanks so much, Dani. Suzanne
Dani,
That call was life changing! You read me like you knew me…(I know that was God:) I look forward to sharing my resukts with you at 1st Steps LA!!!!!
Hi Danni. HOW sweet, a planed time for the family have the kids help cook, bet that nice in you loves to show your well groomed kids how to cook. O yea it makes since to talk about things other than biz at the dinner table, GOD FAMILY BIZ not the other way around. Please enjoy your time with your family. SO WHAT IF YOUR email is filled with upset fan mail. YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL THE SIZE OF THE LEADER BY THE NUMBER OF ARRORS THEY HAVE IN HIS OR HER’s BACK. TRUST ME.
THANKS DANNI WITH MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT MARC:)))
love you and your family values Danni
That call was amazing. God knew I needed to hear what Dani said and I know that now my life will change forever. Thank you so much, you have no ideas what it means to me and my family! See you at the top!!
This was an awesome call Dani. I am going to recommend this call in my “Getting Started” Trainings. If we all had got our priorities right from Day 1, what a difference this would have made to all areas of our lives.
Thank you again!
Dani training materials has impacted my life and has given me the strength and purpose to build a successful business and a life with my wife and family. Also to become professional on the phone!
Thank you Dani. You are helping me be a better woman, mother, and business owner. Your time management has helped me to gain control of my work and to truly enjoy my time off. I have been languishing in fear and not taking advantage of my business opportunity. After 3 days of listening to your audios I called 100 prospects in a week instead of my usual 10 or 15. I will be seeing you in Los Angeles at the end of the month! My 5 year old son is already learned to ask forgiveness from me and our God when he disobeys and he is understanding why we must respect each other. A big hug to you and your family. Thanks again, God bless. Kimberly
I’m a single mother and God is number one already, my children come second and then myself. So God allow me to hear this call to reaffirm that i’m on the right track.
This information may have been the most information i need in my life. Everything you talked about the work, my husband, the kids, this is my life, but i thank God that he has given my the wisdom to make choices to help change my life and the right people positioned in my path to help me own my journey. May God bless you and everyone you help along your journey and peace be with you every day. Thanks for all your help Dani.
Again, an excellent call, Dani ! Thank you for the reminder about prioritizing. I am most happiest when I follow this rule. God is the God of order ! I will work with the markers, as you mentioned. And look for your call on “goals.” Thank you, Rita
