Episode Highlights
[03:04] Daniel’s First Proudest Moment: His First Success
Daniel vividly remembers his first proudest moment — putting together a nightclub party for teenagers–and as a teenager himself!
At 18, Daniel was, in a nutshell, broke. He was sleeping in a garage, working until almost dawn, and doing everything he could to make ends meet.
He had a marketing assignment at university to identify a market need: a party for teens. As he thought about it, he realised he could turn the assignment into reality.
Daniel had no confidence in his plans but was determined to put one foot in front of the other. He managed to pull off everything from partnering with a venue and getting sponsors to successfully marketing the event.
Daniel filled the event with over 1,000 teens. He made ten thousand dollars in a single night — a life-changing amount of money for him.
[09:38] Creating ScoreApp
Daniel wrote a book titled The Key Person of Influence, which included a scorecard that readers could fill out to determine if they were a key person of influence.
Readers loved the interactivity of the scorecard coupled with reading the book. Lots of business owners liked to fill out the scorecard even without reading the book.
Daniel turned the scorecard into an opportunity. He found out that people who filled out the scorecard were diagnosing themselves with a problem. Being self-aware of this problem led people to sign up for coaching packages. They ended up making over 15 million pounds after pivoting into this model.
Daniel was later able to fill another market niche — the need for people to have their own proprietary quizzes and scorecards, leading to the development of ScoreApp.
[13:52] Daniel’s Second Proudest Moment: Speaking with Impact
After releasing his book and the online scorecard, Daniel held a whole-day event in the NIDA theatre in Sydney.
The event had several influential guest speakers and volunteers and earned over half a million dollars in sales.
