This is your chance to hear directly from Dani, as she answers specific questions sent to her about this once in a lifetime experience.
Watch the LIVE behind the scenes webcast that took place last night immediately following the Secret Millionaire season premiere.





I’d like to believe that everyone who is able, gives back. But with all the “bad” in the news on tv today, I really LOVE the show – putting some positive into the world to see!
I was very impressed by show but even more impressed with your passion for what you do and also that God influences your life.Very few do this and for that you should be commented.
You are such an inspiration to many. May I groom myself for success via your words of wisdom. You brought tears to me throughout the entire show, Thank you and see you in PA (Dynasty)
Hello Mrs. Dani Johnson,
I am so inspired by your gratitude towards the people of Knoxville, Tennessee and to our future which is what those kids and other people will do. I am a young women living with my mother who is a single parent of 3 kids. I plan to attend college in the fall of 2011 and when I graduate hopefully with a Masters in Business Administration I want to open a business that will benefit my community and eventually the world, mainly the children. I was wondering what advice you would have for me in order to pursue my dream of making a difference in the world? Thank you for your time and consideration.
Love,
Keisha Weeks
Beautiful! Amazed to see God’s favor in action on your life. Praying God blesses everything and everyone you’ve touched tonight.
I think she is as beautiful on the inside is she is on the outside. I am inspired and motivated to do something that need a helping hand or some volunteer work. Great show, she has a wonderful soul.
First time watching the show and it was great!!!! What can I as a college student do?
Dani, thank you for allowing God to use you for His Glory! My aunt and I attended your First Steps to Success Seminar when you were in Chicago, then we went to your Grooming the Next Generation for Success seminar in Atlanta, Ga. where we live. While we were in Chicago we personally wrote you a letter and left it with your daughter explaining who we were and what we were trying to do in our community. We felt an urgency in our spirits to get there with barely any money, but it was an investment like no other. God is so awesome! All I can say is look at Him. I am so excited about what he is doing in your life and how He is using you. You are truly annointed and I want to join forces with you.
you inspire me to change to become the person Gog made us to be serveing we will live our life to the fullest
Darn, I missed the live chat, I am in pacific time, and show is just about to come on and I already missed the live chat. Grrrr.
Well, I am looking forward to watching the show.
Dani,
We loved the show. Thanks for wearing your heart on your sleeve and showing the joy of giving. Sorry to have missed the live chat – thought is was after the show pacific time…
J&J
It’s very inspiring to know that there are still good people with loving heart and generous soul…
I’m doing some kind of “paying forward” to families who needed help by giving them clothes and stuff for daily needs. I wish I could have done more…but I believe in time, I can help more and more people as long as I live. Thank you for the inspirational show!
Hi Dani,
I’m sorry we missed the live chat. Matthew and I are on Pacific time and just finished watching. Wow! I hit the floor and told God how sorry I was for how spoiled I am. We were at church this am and I heard a very clear word from Him that our wealth we will accumulate is for the Kingdom. Now, I already know this but today it penetrated my heart. Then we watched this show. Thank you for being the example. It was especially movng for those of us that have trained with you because we know your heart, and to watch your facial expressions “gripped” us. I believe that this was also for your clients. That we are reminded why we are to perservere and continue building wealth and our character. My only question is what next? I guess we just get to see He has planned! By the way, we both looked at each other and smiled when we saw you go into your “prayer closet”. We love you! Matthew and Jennifer Ledford
Dani, thank you for the video shot and making it able for people like over here in Singapore to see. Thank you for the inspirational message. Thank you to Hans for making a great site danijohnson.com

Dani,
I’m so honored to be a part of your community of clients…
You are a delight to watch and I’m excited where this will take you and this organization, danijohnson.com.
Love you!!
God bless You
This was my first time ever hearing of you, but I was so impressed with how you allowed God to use you. Not just money but to see how passionate you were about helping others. Really inspirational. God Bless
This is great to both see and hear how God confirms his word. Thank you for not giving up over the years. Thank God for empowering you to overcome in adversity. You are the real deal in expressing the “Original God TM.” You books are practical in sharing the love of God and explaining the God of the marketplace and the God of ministry is One God. We are anointed to do specific kingdom assignments to impact lives.
Much love,

My partners & I have the mind to give back but this video took my thinking to another level…THANKS DANI
You heart before God is such a blessing.
Amazing. I don’t have t.v. so I didn’t get to watch the show. Secret Millionaire. I have been following Dani for almost a year now. I must admit, that my mind has changed for the better about who she is. I tell everyone, to the point of driving them nuts about her. Gods speed Dani.
Thanks for continuing to inspire us Dani! I was saved at First Steps to Success on November 10th, 2007, in Dallas, Texas, and I’ve been in Heaven ever since!! God has given me new life, and I praise Him and thank Him daily for not giving up on me! I’m soooooooooo very glad he didn’t give up on you either! Keep walking in His will girl – you rock!!! Love you! Your sister in Christ, Kelli
Dani, you are so needed in the political and lobbying industry! The peeves that drive you crazy are driven by both sides of the aisles and other pundit-obsessed networks not named ABC! Until people from that ilk join your website, the work will always be a bigger challenge than need be. Good luck winning over people in the South, Midwest, and Mountain West, where too many anti-Danis (i.e. ignorant high-income political insiders) exist from a giving standpoint!
Thanks for being an inspiration! After listening to your interview on KLOVE I’m stoked to start doing more service and becoming a better Christian.
I want to know how Dani only spends $100 a week on food for a big family! LOL
AMAZING Dani. So glad I watched the show hands down want to be part of this ministry. You are real thank you. I am disabled from my waist down will do what I can to do more to spread the Love of God. Its all over You, said a prayer of thankfulness for you, Dani. God is moving upon all flesh, saved and unsaved, rich and poor what a wave coming, Thank You Father Jehova!
I host the First Ladies’ Tea every four years in Washington, DC that brings women of faith together for prayer fellowship and thanksgiving, based on Proverbs 31. Would you be willing to share how we can apply your techniques here in Washington, DC among government leaders? We want to impiment
more prayer gatherings to minister to wives of diplomats and government officials? One of my projects is to reopen the former Mother Teresa home for infants and women as a safe house for women escaping forced abortion in China and India and late term abortion right here near our nation’s capitol. It is called the “Embassy of Life” project. God bless you and thanks for all you are doing.
Hi Dani,
My Name is Patti. I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I would like to thank you, so much, for the encouragement and renewed hope that you gave to so many people, including me. I here in you, a woman of faith. There are still those of us who are the the Dani’s before the millions. I want to know more about the spiritual aspect. God is Good! I don’t have money to travel or pay for seminars. I am not asking for anything, but I do want to know what it was that you sold, from the trunk of your car? My income is disability,but I want to get off and do my dream and help others. I hope I get to tell you about that dream. I have already begun to work it. Hey! Thank You for the blessing of you.
You are a beautiful spirit, such gratitude I feel for you and your wisdom and the love you share. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I give thanks and gratitude daily and now you are part of my gratefulness. Such a blessing to have your love Hans, to be on the same path as you. My life has changed and will continue to change, positively, especially as I will continue to listen to you on Mondays.
I pray you will be in Seattle someday.
Blessings to you
Love You Dani. Loved the show. In ancient Israel, God required that farmers let the poor glean from the fields after the harvest. It seems to me that’s similar to all of us donating used clothes. And it’s certainly better than throwing out the used clothes. We should give from the firstfruits as well as what we can do with our leftovers.
You and your family and network are the best!

Awesome show!! God bless you!
Dani,
I just wanted to let you know that your post show interview was very uplifting. You speak from the heart and I really get charged up from that. Look, I don’t just want your help, I need your help! Please help me!
I do at times find myself lacking focus with my business and my time. There is no sugar-coating it, I have to do better. God has blessed me with a lot of creative talent. Why even my wife tells everyone I get paid to color. Never-the-less, I’m tired of just getting by, and yes… I don’t want to keep saying, I’ll do more when I’m better off.
God pointed me in your direction. He knew I needed your help and I’m asking with all of my heart… Please allow me to join your organization on this journey. No, I’m not asking for a job. God has taken care of that, but what I feel Him telling me is that I can learn a lot from you and your organization.
I buy no means have the level of income to purchase all of what you have to offer, but I’m quickly learning to do the best with what I do have. Like I said on the phone, that was my high school and the place where I spent years of my life being groomed to go out in the world to make a difference. I know I’m making some… but not nearly enough.
I ask God everyday to use me a His tool to do His will. If your organization can use my talents to help others in whatever capacity… please let me know.
I want to get to know your organization better. You guys are doing an awesome thing and I just want to be a part of it.
Thanks and blessings,
Michael McClellan

Dani & Huns
I have been hit by the impact of Gods message through your words. I have always been a believer of Gods message and boy! did he use the right person to deliver it home.
I thank you so much for letting your faith in him, free your negative views of the media and use this tool to reach out and touch so many hearts and help me along with others to begin a journey to over come our own fears and step out of our comfort zones, so we too can help others.
I also grew up in a home of alcohol abuse and physical abuse which lead me as an adult to believe that I was not good enough, smart enough,or pretty enough to fit in. I was too shy as a child,and angry as an adult, my spirit was and still is broken. I let those words groom me. Every-time I would get up the courage to get out there and make some-thing of myself, I would let those words pull me back down or my families words pull me back, it was like I wasn’t allowed to be who I wanted to be.
Fear holds me back from being free. But not my heart…If someone needs, I will be there for them, So I guess you can say my heart is in the right place but my thoughts control who I am. I am looking forward to listening to all that I can here on your site and I also order your book. I look forward to the journey and to grow and become stronger as I learn more from you. I even have my husband sitting beside me listening along with me; I love this uplifting spirit of yours it is contagious.
Thank you ♥
God Bless
Dear Dani,
Thank you for all you do. The premiere of Secret Millionaire was truly amazing. I had never had the desire to be a millionaire, but after watching the show (prior to knowing anything about you or what you do) I thought that I would like to be a millionaire just to help people. I visited your website simply to find out how you had gone from homeless to millionaire. I had NO IDEA what I was in for!!!!
You mentioned a couple of times how sad it is that people will spend $100 on “waste” but will not spend it to invest in themselves. The reason some people don’t buy the products you offer is because we are skeptical. Unfortunately, the world is full of empty promises.
I must admit I scoured your website and read many of your articles before purchasing War on Debt. I received my first online video and I have to say I am BLOWN AWAY! You reiterated everything I have ever believed about God and money. Yes it IS God’s money and He has given it to us for a purpose. Thank you for that. You gave me the drive I need to succeed NOT because it is MY will but the will of the Father who sent me! LOVE it! God bless!
Mel
Dani,
You are a gift to the Body of Christ. I am so grateful to the Lord that He lead me to you via the Secret Millionaire. What a beautiful soul you are. Your gift of exhortation is so needed in today’s world for the glory of the LORD.
Dani Johnson speaks 99.9% of the truth . look out Sarah Palin , you got one woman to deal with . She spoke the exact truth of how it is with the poor . She has been down that road , so she knows .
-Jackie .
i still dont know or understand what is it that you do, so for in watching your video you haven’t said exactly what it is you do. Please explain. thanks in advance.

WebEx Meeting Centre? Microsoft Live Meeting (2007 NOT 2005)? Adobe Connect Pro? Go To My Meeting?. . I need a platform that can host roughly 20 individual connections. Also, it needs to have VOIP capability and video. Application sharing, chat (text) and ease of use. Money is not really a concern, so please do not ocnsider that in your review.. . I have used WebEx meeting centre for the past year or so and like it. It could be better.. . I am under the gun to renew my contract with them or switch to a new, improved platform.. . This is used by people with disabilities for all sorts of purposes – attending an e-workshop, e-meetings, even attending huge events. If you are a person with a disability, your feedback is especially appreciated.. . Thank you!.
To what extent are your methods/principles of success based on biblical truths and ideals?
