Written Testimonials

Dan is one of the smartest people I know. He knows his stuff and will lead you to success.

I've met a lot of coaches being a life coach also myself. But because Dan's turf is more on women entrepreneurs and creatives, he somehow understands our concerns almost immediately. He gave me clarity but at the same time the way he can make you stop and think about what you're doing if it's leading you faster or slower to your goal or as he calls it your North star. I am proud that he's my mindset coach. He helps me understand things in clearer perspective. Before Freedom Summit Dan came around November of 2018 in Manila. I was blown away by his talk about how to focus on what steps to take to reach my goals (buckets & teaspoon story). He's the real deal. Like most of us entrepreneurs we experience growing pains in our business, we are very empowered so most of the time we tend to handle everything by ourselves. Having someone to help us synthesize things is very powerful and that is one of Dan's super powers.

Dan has an amazing gift for taking complicated ideas and making them make sense. He has the ability to engage and inspire in a very practical style. I’m fortunate to be part of his Leaders Must Learn Mastermind which he leads with passion and insightfulness.

I have gained so much from the Interactive Business Essentials class that has and will help me being a musician/artist. What I've enjoyed most about the class is the easy to understand and the presentation that has been offered. The class has been very structured and outlined. Anyone that wants to gain insight on how to structure a business NEEDS to take this class!!! This class is a must. The thing that I gained the most was how and what to look for in a team. I must say that Interactive Business Essentials will help you look at the components of what makes a successful business. Being in the music industry, the tools that I've gained has been priceless!!! You will learn the difference between management and leadership. Interactive Business Essentials is a must for anyone in any field.

Even in my darkest hours of business development, amid crushing self-doubt and reluctance to accept reality, Dan McPherson has been able to help me see light on the path to success, and return to my energetic optimism. If you are even considering starting a business, do yourself a favor, and spend your first money on hiring Dan first. You won't be sorry. You'll regret not having done it sooner.

Dan talked with me about ways to increase my revenue as a gigging musician. He offered specific conversation points and key words to assure that I am not underpaid, and to leverage toward higher paying gigs over time. Dan helped me to look at the bigger picture and consider where I want to be heading. Increasing what I am earning without increasing my hours means I can focus more energy into songwriting and creating — and that’s the dream!

To acquire knowledge is relatively easy, to spread knowledge more complicated. To connect with people so that they understand that knowledge is a form of art and Dan masters it. On top of all, he is a genuinely good guy. Highly recommended.

Having been in the mortgage business for 14 years, I’m pretty well established and comfortable in what I do, but after working with Dan from Leaders Must Lead I learned many ways to improve mine (and my Team’s) process, communication and time management skills, which had an immediate and positive impact on my business. Whether you are starting out in business, or “long in the tooth” in business, you can benefit from Dan’s coaching. My only regret is that I didn’t hire Dan sooner!

Dan is the real deal. He listens to you and your business needs and helps you to get there. With his years of success in working ‘for’ people I we are so thankful he chose to start his own enterprise. Often he has ‘been there did that and here is a better way’. I appreciate his humbleness and he isn’t trying to make it a ‘business according to Dan’ but your business according to ‘you’! Using the guiding principles he has learned through experience and his extensive studying the business giants success is inevitable. If you are willing to learn he will teach you. Don’t hesitate to contact him, this is a win win!!

Dan led me through the process of identifying my strengths, highlighting their value, and succinctly expressing it to my potential clients. He makes sales look like problem solving — which, in truth, it is! Highly recommend for all sales training.

I gained a great deal of insight from the Time Management workshop I attended. Dan opened my eyes to new ways of thinking about prioritization, task management, delegation, and slaying the email dragon!

Dan is a master of challenge and encouragement with the wisdom and experience to back it up. Not only that, but he serves his clients with true compassion, even when telling them uncomfortable truths. I would highly recommend him!

Dan Mcpherson and Leaders Must Lead has been an invaluable tool for my business. From the creation of my company to its rapid growth, Dan’s consultation has ensured that my business was built with a solid foundation. His breadth of knowledge regarding every aspect of running a company is extraordinary and his ability and willingness to help is boundless. Throughout every stage of our growth, Dan has been accessible, encouraging, and vital. Working with Dan has directly led to an increase in our bottom line, but perhaps more importantly, it has prevented any missteps that could have seriously crippled my business, and for that I will always be immensely grateful.

I would like to thank Leaders Must Lead for bringing great learning tools to professional individuals like myself. Dan delivers his training staying true to his vision, he teaches with passion and he truly inspired me to become a better leader to achieve greater success. I also achieved a great learning in strengthening my business acumen with the help of business essentials and the tools I was exposed to. The experience was interactive and related to every individual in the classes from every field of business. He shared great inspirational quotes and the one that inspired me the most is that Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now. I highly recommend these classes to everyone who wants to achieve greater success in any field of business they want to excel in.

Going in, I have had my reservations. Not on Dan, but on myself. Working online with different businesses, I have worked with coacher - some are my friends, some worked with MY clients, some are the target audience of my clients.

So I felt like I've been "coached out." There's nothing really new that I come across now. And so I never seek help from coaches. Not because I don't think they are good - but because I felt like I've heard enough to know what they will say to me. Another thing is: I hate hearing what I do wrong, because I do a lot of those too! Pride, yes.

After talking with Dan, not only do I have a CRYSTAL clear path of what to take - I'm emotional. The breakthroughs and realizations in that single phone call was OVERWHELMING in a good way. And though I have a lot of things going on, too much stuff to do - I never feel overwhelmed because at the end of the day, I get things done. One way or another, I do. So really, I don't get overwhelmed easily. I just have that kind of personality. But right after the call I found myself emotional about the things that has been in my face for so long, and what has been stopping me from reaching my full potential.

Guys, Dan not only give tremendous value, but he is FULL committed to getting you where you want to go. I wish I can share more - I will, but this is just what I can muster right now while my brain has melted from the sheer awesomeness of that coaching call. I'll get my head straight and gossip more to you later on. But for now, I want to say that this coaching session is something that you should experience.

Really helped me organize and put things in perspective. Highly recommend.

I hosted the recently concluded Freedom Summit in the Philippines and Dan was one of the most outstanding yet down-to-earth speakers there. He knows how to work the crowd and engage them in his talk. When he's talking to you one on one, he's all there. He also shared with me other inspiring stories of those he helped in his leadership consultancy work.

Dan, I wish you more successes to come because your message is very empowering and truly worth spreading.

I availed of Dan's free consultation. I have a bias for action, so I am happily surprised that I came out of it with three major actionable ideas that I can apply to my business. I even experienced a Quick Win: I thought I was clear about my goals, but before the session ended, I pinned down a goal more specifically. The best part is REALIZING how what I really really want is very attainable after all. Thank you for your generosity, Dan McPherson! I look forward to working with you :) <3

Dan's one day business seminar was awesome! Very well organized, valuable content. Well worth it!

To say that Dan had a positive influence on my business would be an understatement. His insight, advice, and ongoing training have improved nearly every aspect of our day to day operations and has significantly impacted our bottom line. When I have a tough decision to make Dan is the first person I call.
