Dani Johnson was raised on welfare, pregnant at 17, homeless at 21 and a millionaire at 23 – now multi-millionaire and entrepreneur of five companies, best-selling author and internationally sought after speaker. Dani kicked off her early success by licensing a weight loss product and eventually started and built a thriving company manufacturing her own nutritional and skin care products. With a strong passion to help people improve their lives and achieve their personal goals in every area she parlayed her success into a training program for personal and professional development to train her clients with the exact steps she used to attain success.
Dani, you are so inspiring! I just saw you on Oprah!
So… what weight loss product was it that instantly made her a millionaire?? It must have been a product that either worked great, OR she was/is a good marketer. anyone know what the name of her weight loss product was/is???
Dani… you can be mover in the world
Thanks for posting this. I have friends that I forwarded it to. I just finished watching all of the “Behind The Scenes” interview with Dani. I am so grateful for all that you have made available for us to be mentored with.
Is there a way to view this from Canada cause Hulu won’t allow the streaming
Thanks for your time
Dawn
I just want to thank you for going on the show! I would have never found you if you didn’t. And I can’t possibly begin to tell you what finding you is doing for me! I have been listening to some of your calls and watched some of your videos and I can’t even tell you how much your words and your love for the lord has inspired me. I am a wife and mother of two and like you I lived a very hard life of drugs, abuse, and so much more. In 2006 I gave my life to the lord and many things in my life have changed, but in the last year I have come up against many things that have really put me in a mindset that I have had a hard time finding my way out of. I lost my faith and my hope to ever be or have anything more then what I have right now. The worst part of it is feeling like I have let my family down. I struggle to find a job and because of that my family has suffered trying to make ends meet. You have inspired me to not dwell and get my act together. You have also inspired me to want to be a servant. I know that God is the way but I have struggles with reading and even praying, but God is using you to make me think about what is really important in life and that is him. I will continue to learn from you and all your wisdom. I don’t have money so I am grateful for all the free videos and the book you made free. I can’t wait to read that book. Thank you again for doing the show, and being such an amazing woman of God. May God bless you and your family!!! Michelle
Dear Dani,
You were absolutely incredible on your show Sunday nite.
I loved every minute of it, and I did notice your Bible
as you were working with it, and so I know that God is
working right along with you and your agenda for the
needy and homeless.
You are truly anointed by God to do His work.
We love you, Elena
Dear Dani,
I watched the show on sunday and when you started to cry about your daughter i was crying with you. In June of 2010 I was diaganosed with three aneurisns. They rushed me to another hospial where i underwent a ten hour surgery. The doctor was wonderful,. How can you thanks someone for saving your life? There was a 70% chance I would not make it. The crainatomy was a tough surgery. I was in the hospital for six weeks. After that suegery i had four avms done. I dont remember to much from the hospital. I january i had laser knife radiation for the lesion i also had. I also hav a shunt put in my brain to drain spinal fluid from my brain. I have memory problems. I would like to go to your seminars in pittsburgh but i would not be able to concentrete. I had a good job as a medical receptionist but i may not be able to go back to work. My husband also gave up on me during this time. My 21 year old son has taken care of me. I also lost my driving liscense do to seizures. He takes me where i need to go. I told him it is now your turn to go to school. I am on disability so I dont know how much i can help him but i will do my best. I hope your daughter is doing fine. I know it is a scary process. Keep me in your prayers. I will pray for your daughter also. I need to let god back into my life. Take Care. Diane
Thanks! It is awesome to see how God is using you in so many ways! Thanks for being such a willing vessel for that as it inspires so many others to go out and do the same!
Hi Dani,
I was so thrilled to watch what you did on Secret Millionaire. What a great concept for a show and so inspirational to the rest of who want to conduct our lives the way Christ wants us too. I just read the article from Christianity Today and am so glad you did it because it brought out a few wonderful programs that are going on here in the US that we wouldn’t know about except for this show. I have always said that God is at work in His people in ways that we do not know about. I believe this show showed forth His work so I thank you for being a part. I picked up that you were a Christian when I saw you pray and I saw you reading your Bible. I was sorry to hear they cut out many other times when you were open about your faith. My favorite parts are always where peoples lives and hearts are touched and I really saw that when you became overwhelmed in designing the bedroom for Daisy because of the memories it brought back of your own daughter. Thanks for encouraging the rest of us to get involved in the many things where God is working.
Hi, is there anyway we can watch the Secret Millionaire video in the U.K? Hulu won’t allow it to be shown because we’re outside the USA
You know…I tend to be pretty friggin’ critical towards health care products etc. guru types…but I have been humbled and floored by this gal and her friends and family…girlfriend! you rock, Im really proud of you..keep on truckin’. Not that it matters at all but I like you.
Blessings to you,
In Jesus

DANI
I THINK YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL,AND A BEAUTIFUL PERSON,WE NEED MORE OF YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU
Wow! Hans, Dani and crew that was awesome. The after show even more to me because I see things so much clearer and different. I am coming to Texas to your seminar and I was sent a survey to fill out and I wish I saw this before I did. Because I was focusing more on me and my family making it. But now I see a bigger picture. Me and my family making it yes and us learning how and actually helping others to live better also. I thank God for putting you in my path. May he keep using you and any other way to make me a better person helping to make a better world. I am not usually this corny but this is the way I feel. Stay Blessed
Hi Dani and Hans
It’s so powerful, awesome and great what are you doing !
Thank you so much.
God bless you
She gave away $100,000 total to all of those People and Organizations that will motivate and cause more awareness to there Efforts. This has inspired me to do more than I’ve been doing in my community. Your time and talent is priceless, your not limited to how much money you have to give but whatever you can give is just as important. Every dollar counts and makes a difference in the lives of so many people who need our help. Thank you Dani for being such an Awesome Woman of God and great person. I respect you so much…God Bless
Dani, it is great that you want to give in secret and let God receive the Glory but you need to understand that every good gift comes from above. When i sow a seed to my church every week it comes from the hand of a man, when i receive money from my home based business or my part-time job it comes from a man. God is the one who gives us power to get wealth and he is waiting on his people to rise up and show how great their God is. Romans 8:19 says it all…God is waiting on us to use or gifts to help people. Our Time, Money, and skills is needed to help people around the world. It troubles me when you are so critical of Pastors and churchs when you don’t know what they give in secret or in open. You do what God has called you to do and let God speak to his other servants to do what he has called them to do. It’s wrong to speak against others when you don’t know what God told them to do…God uses who he wills and he may not tell you who or what they are supposed to do. Just keep doing what God called you to do and stop being so critical of other Ministries or Pastors…and i’m not a pastor if your wondering. God Bless
Dani the show was amazing and the people you met were truly amazing and inspiring! Best television I have seen in a long time. God Bless!
Dani, All I did from beggining to end of this is cry. I have always have passion when it comes to helping the poor. YOu inspire me and encourage me to not stop despite the circumstances.
Thank you Dani for showing the true love of God! Through the film you did secret millionaire remind me of the scripture when Jesus had said,” I was hungry and you did not feed me”. You are a example of Christ love! I appreciate you and your honesty of sharing the hard times in your early childhood life. You remind of Esther in the Bible who had favor from her king and she laid down her life even it will cost her life. The favor of the Lord is on you, husband and your sweet family. Thank you Dani again your testimony and training has change my life.
Dear Dani,
Yes your show was incredible on Secret Millionaire and
also it inspired me to go even further with the small children
that I have been bringing the Love of Jesus to – living in the Shelter of the Homeless for the past 3 years at every
Holiday with presents, however, the families do move on to
apartments etc. after several weeks but it is a Joy to
bring God’s love to the children… with small presents for them and written prayers for their prayer time.
God Bless you always, Dani,
Elena
Dani, I don’t watch reality TV shows, but when someone shared your story on Facebook about being the secret millionaire I had to watch it, after all I consider you one of my secret mentors (people I don’t know personally yet have played and important role in helping me to move forward).
It was to say the least the show was extremely moving & inspiring. It was also very nice to see Dani Johnson off stage. One always has a picture in their mind as to what a person such as yourself is like away from the business end. But it is totally refreshing to confirm that picture. Thank you Dani for confirming that you are truly a giving person.
This is a part of what has been on our hearts for a lot of years. Part of our personal definition of success is to be able to devote our time, energies and planned prosperity toward helping others, especially in faith-based charities where the beneficiaries get not only food and/or service, but most critically the eternal Word of God.
Great! video Dani you’ve inspired me. Thank you so, so much from the bottom of my heart. Yes, God has placed you where you for a purpose. You’ve been a blessing to me & thanks for sharing with us from your heart. God bless.
You are amazing!! So proud of you. You’ve come along way from the make shift classrooms we shared at Country Christian School in Palo Cedro. Keep up the good work!!
I believe that is among the most vital information for me. And i’m satisfied studying your article. But should remark on few common things, The website style is ideal, the articles is in point of fact nice : D. Good process, cheers
Dani will be added to my life list of “Board of Directors.” She is truly being used by God to impact the world.
Thank you,
Dani
