How do you go from homeless, broke, and feigning cocaine to making millions?
By: Susan McKenzie
Does it get any worse? You decide…
Dani Johnson's life story starts out with heavy doses of poverty: Sexual abuse, physical abuse, daily emotional torment, spiritual rejection, betrayal and abandonment. Parents addicted to drugs. Growing up on welfare. Teenage pregnancy. Homeless. Broke. Sometimes our life stories are not 'pretty' … but we all don't get the perfect hand dealt to us. But let's see how Dani played the hand that was dealt her…
Life went downhill from there and Dani plunged into the ocean, not caring to have to breath again. She had just taken her first hit of Cocaine and was already feigning for the next one. What did it matter anymore… with a broken heart, she sank beneath the waves. She heard something… a voice. Rising up to the surface, she gulped a breath of air and the voice spoke again, saying, "Pick up your mat and walk!"
It startled her and awakened her to action. She swam to the beach, picked up her beach towel and walked… and from that point on the fight to live overcame the battle to simply survive.
Finally a breakthrough appeared in the form of a friend who invited her to a business presentation. She risked everything and borrowed the money to attend a training seminar. Using the principles she learned from the seminar she made a few thousand dollars… and then tens of thousands… and then her first million by age 23!
The drama continues….
The man of her dreams appeared on the scene and in a wild romantic moment, not long after meeting, they got married. Just as quickly he found another victim to run off into the sunset with, after draining Dani's bank accounts and putting her tens of thousands of dollars into debt!
She was left homeless, living on a beach, in a Hyundai, working as a cocktail waitress, with $2.03 left in change.
Once again, Dani was over-weight, bankrupt, homeless and no family and friend was willing to help! How did she get so over-weight while being homeless and broke? If I remember correctly, it was the peanuts at the lounge she worked at… at least when you work as a cocktail waitress there is food!
She got an idea… Opening the trunk of her Hyundai she pulled out a faded weight-loss brochure.
While hating the thought of turning to network marketing, her options were rather limited, so why not?
Hawaii… the place where a little fat was welcomed as a GOOD thing. Hawaii… the place where white people aren't necessarily trusted right away.
What to do next… she didn't have a phone! Unbelievably, she persuades a phone service to give her a voice mail line on credit! Making some handwritten flyers promoting weight-loss and her voice mail line, Dani posts the flyers in her neighborhood. She's a little concerned that she's not even a distributor yet for this company… nor does she have any tangible product… not even an address or a phone!
Crazy??
Nevertheless, people start to call…. she totally flubs up the calls and the first 25 people are ditched. An idea comes to her… why not call a local company and pretend to be a prospective client? So she dials the number and listens as the customer service representative begins asking questions. How much weight do you want to lose? How soon do you want to achieve your goal?
Dani furiously scribbled notes from that call onto yellow sticky notes. Pretty soon her payphone booth was plastered with those sticky notes! Hanging up the phone, she began to return more phone calls from her flyers. This time, reading the notes on her payphone booth she was able to make sales!
Great! Now, the trick was…. she needed to have money to become a distributor so she could place these orders… That meant, she needed to get cash in hand from these clients!
Driving to their door, this over-weight homeless cocktail waitress collected CASH from Hawaiian clients, who when they asked, "Where is your company located?" Dani replied, "We're all over the island!"
Cash in hand, Dani quickly paid for her distributorship in the weight-loss company and ordered product for her customers.

She didn't stop… she kept going! She became a millionaire several times over… but that's not nearly the end of the story.
How did Dani learn to groom her five children for success? How has she enjoyed a happy marriage for decades? How was she able to rise up out of a wheelchair not long ago after a back injury? How has she helped thousands of people do the same?
What turned the tide in all these areas… and will it work for you?
We'll save the rest of her story for later, or better yet… Meet Dani live at her First Steps to SuccessTM seminar!
When I met Dani my husband had sustained a severe spinal cord injury and I needed to be with him 24/7. Seeing that my husband would never be able to work again, our employer quietly terminated both us. In the midst of the trauma, a friend introduced me to network marketing, which I knew absolutely nothing about! Nevertheless, his passion for Dani Johnson and the life transformation that took place at her First Steps to Success live seminar drew me irresistibly in! I wish I had stuck with Dani, but unfortunately I listened to other people and ended up getting stuck in some dead ends.
Enough was enough and I entered into coaching with Dani, coming out of that coaching with the skills and mindset I needed. The month after my coaching was my first $20K month, which gave us enough money to make a trip to Canada where a healing conference was taking place and then to enter ministry school. Our world turned upside down again, and I was asked to quit my business… I walked away from it for four years… but I continued using the "War on Debt" principles Dani and Hans taught us. We were able to trim off $270K in debt and we getting close to our goal of being debt-free! As you can see I've returned to the business world and have resumed training with both Dani Johnson and Sandi Krakowski.
What do you want Dani Johnson to do for you? If you let her, she can show you how to achieve your goals! You can be debt-free, maintain a healthy weight and attractive figure, enjoy a happy marriage and family and have a happy life!
This is what we call "rewriting your life story" or creating a new family legacy! Dani's life story is life-impacting, transforming tens of thousands of families, world-wide. It's not the numbers… if it were just one person or one family, her story would be worth it. And that's the way it is with you and me… if just one person or one family feels loved, accepted, honored, validated and is able to move forward and get their breakthrough, it makes it all worthwhile?
This about the beginning of Dani's story… there are worse stories than hers, but Dani's is a great example. You don't need to dwell on the negative… it simple serves as a springboard to what can bring hope to a hurting world and help to the next generation so they don't have to repeat our mistakes!
It takes a team, though… none of us can do it alone. That is why I'm inviting you to join Dani's team… we're people just like you who have been in this journey together and there's always room for one more!
