The Spark Kit — previously known as the Fire Starter Sessions — changed the way I operate my biz in a very real, very measurable way. Danielle LaPorte, digital shaman and the original Fire Starter, shares her fire with me in this week’s Building Your Biznez Interview Series.
And, what’s more, Danielle has graciously donated a copy of the newly (and temporarily) retired Spark Kit. If you wanted to buy this but it went into the White Hot Vault before you could (or you haven’t been able to afford it in the past), this is your chance to get your lovely hands on it.
I know you’re aching for this week’s interview. So, listen on.
And, if you want to get your digital, spiritually-charged mitts on the Spark Kit, tell me how this could help you build your biznez. You can post in the comments. You can tweet me. You can post on the violetminded Facebook page. You can even fire me an email, if you’re bein’ shy-face. (And that’s cool, baby. I love you shy-people. You make me happy-face.)

A few more things for this week.
Big thank you to El Edwards and Leela Sinha for submitting their Design Questionnaires before I even rolled out of bed last Monday. Post went live and within two hours, I was gettin’ booked up for Creative Insights. I’ve still got two Creative Insights available for the deep discounted rate. Interested? Send me an email.
There’s a lot of hacking going around out there. Frankly, I’m sick of it. Not sick of my clients, of course, but sick of the bullshit that comes along with being hacked. So, I stopped whining about it and created a resource for you, my darlings. Hey, you need to have a guide if you’re going to be trudging through the depths of MySQL, FTP, and cPanel. (This’ll make sense if you pick up the resource.)
What’s it called?
“Hacked. Damn it.”
And it’s completely Pay What You Can. Hey, not everyone has the luxury of hiring a web developer to help them through their troubles. If you’re on the receiving end of a digital beat-down, let this be a beacon of hope for you.
I believe in you. Get yourself un-hacked. And then continue being awesome.
Amanda,
Great interview! Danielle’s authenticity is palpable. I am a life coach for teenagers and have recently started my own business, Limitless Heart Life Coaching. I started this business because after teaching high school and college for eight years, I realized my greatest passion is helping adolescents listen to their intuition and discover their life purpose. In doing so, I have witnessed teenagers go from feeling completely uninspired to focused, determined, and passionate. Adolescence is that pivotal time where you’re straddling childhood and adulthood; you’re right on the cusp of something huge, but you want so badly to hang on to that innocence where your intuition guided you for so many years. I help teenagers navigate that difficult journey, empowering them to trust their guts, align their goals with their values, and follow their bliss. I’d love to read Danielle’s book, not only because her blogs rock and I’m sure her book is just as awesome, but also because I need a true “fire” right now to really ignite my business. I have such passion for what I do and I’ve got a good handful of clients. But, I’m not sure how to transform that “handful” into an actual business. I dream big and I am thirsting for a book that can help me understand how to truly grow my business. I believe I am abundant, so I’d love to read more about how to revolutionize that abundance. Thanks again! Blessings, Tenley Hardin
