Dani, 39, from Preston is a hugely successful global entrepreneur who has risen from the council estates of Preston where she experienced the depths of domestic violence, little money and ultimately, homelessness. Fast forward and she is now a highly sought-after; international speaker, best-selling author, coach, charity founder and daily she mentors people across the world to ‘Show Up, Wise Up and Rise Up!’

Dani has donned her crown and broken generational cycles of self-sabotage to become the creator of her own destiny and leader of a movement that has seen thousands of people all over the world stepping up into their own versions of success.

Dani said: “I Am The Queen Bee! I say it a lot. Like A LOT! I declare it! And, yes, I know it’s a pretty audacious statement, but it came from realising that regardless of where you come from, or your circumstances… success, wealth, happiness and all the good stuff in the world, are out there for people like me. And they are also for people like YOU too!  Success is your birthright, my friend.

“It’s so important that we consciously step into our own personal power. I declare that ‘I am the Queen Bee’ and although I have no desire to over-throw the monarchy, I do believe that everyone can start stepping into being their own version of sovereignty - the journey to your version of ‘Queenliness/ Kingliness/ Royalness’ isn’t about birth rights, titles or learning fancy systems… it’s simply about learning how to listen to yourself and taking yourself seriously first and then how to trust in that to move forward.”

So, how did the Queen Bee come about? “I was watching The Bee Movie and there was a quote at the start of the movie that floored me… it said that according to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its’ wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.  This quote resonated around my own darkest moments and how I had also been able to fly against the odds.

“As I started to build my life away from the negative experiences of my early adult life, I felt able to reclaim some of the power that I had relinquished for many years.

“I began to switch from thinking that success, wealth, happiness and all the good stuff were not for me, to believing that I just had to be more creative about making them happen. They were still my birth right - just like royalty. 

“I do truly believe that everyone can start stepping into being their own version of sovereignty. We need to remind ourselves that we can do impossible things - we too, are all able to fly!”

How can you become your own version of sovereignty?

• Find your SuperPower – Get to grips with the things that are holding you back, face the demons, own them and learn how to undo your limiting beliefs – take the knowledge from your battle and turn it into a superpower.
• Tackle self- doubt and give your limiting voice a Persona – As many of you know, Imposter Syndrome is very real. Learn to understand your inner critic and what they are saying. If you can give your inner negative voice a name, you can then learn to turn down the volume on it and ultimately remove it from your mind and believe in you.
• Reclaim your birth right of success and abundance – As you start to build a life away from the negative experiences of life, start to reclaim some of the power that you may have relinquished for many years.  Switch from thinking that success, wealth, happiness and all the good stuff are not for you, to believing that you have every right to them. Look to be more creative about making new things happen. You can achieve so much more than you ever thought was possible if you just choose to.
• Reach out and link up – Look who’s around you, personally and professionally – these are the people who count and the ones you want to ‘link arms’ with. Developing your own mental strength helps you to achieve the impossible alongside the support and mentorship strength of those around you. Seek great business mentors and learn from those who are doing the thing you want to be doing. Find people who truly believe in you and create a network that inspires you and surround yourself with like-minded people.

“You can reclaim your birth rights of success and abundance, you just need to get serious about making life changes, put your crown on, get positive and revel in your awesomeness!”
