Wall of Love

Hi Dan! Thank you for creating & running this BYOB course! I have never thought of myself as someone ‘special’ enough to be a boss. Lately I have been more curious about building & creating something of my own, Isn’t that being a boss??? But on my own; I never did figure out how, when & where to start this given that I didn’t even have an idea of what that would be!

When I saw your teasers of BYOB, I was intrigued & excited by the idea of learning from you. Someone who has built multiple thriving businesses & most importantly, in a way that’s aligned to one’s values while also being sustainable & a joy to build & grow.

Dan, after the BYOB course, I now have
- more hope & self belief that I could be a ‘Boss Mao’
- concrete steps, frameworks & tools to help me go from ideation, experimentation to execution
- a community of folks who are actively moving towards their desired life & business
- shifts in mindsets that’s beneficial beyond just building a business because aren’t I the ‘CEO’ of my own life?

Thank you Dan Lao Shi!

What I liked most about being a part of BYOB:

What I loved most about BYOB was how real and practical it was. It wasn’t just about starting a business — it was more about reclaiming ownership of your mind, your energy, and setting the right foot in being yourself and finding the right balance and path. The magical thing that in my soul pushed me to stop waiting for permission and allow myself to start moving, even when I didn’t feel “I’m a boss yet.” I felt seen as both as woman and as an experimenter /creator — not just an attendee in another cohort or a class.

Changes or discoveries I’ve experienced as a result of BYOB:

BYOB stripped away a lot of my old beliefs about success. I realized how much of my fear came from people-pleasing, over-preparing, and trying to be “perfect” before showing up.

Through this program, I learned how to act from clarity instead of chaos, and that being my own boss starts from within — how I think, how I manage my time, how I set boundaries.

I stopped asking “Who am I to do this?” and started asking, “Who am I not to?”
That mental shift changed everything. It helped me find my voice, package my ideas, and finally ship instead of endlessly planning.

Would I recommend BYOB to someone else?

Absolutely — but only if you’re ready to face your own trauma, fears and shadow side patterns.

BYOB isn’t for those who just want motivational quotes & speeches. It’s for those who are willing to see where they’ve been hiding, procrastinating, or downplaying their own potential. If you’re ready to stop waiting for life to “stabilise” before you begin — this is the container which you place yourself in which gives a an eye-opening experience & effect and let yourself surround with people who will connect & teach you things in every aspects which is possible if you set your mind to for the passion or goals that you want to achieve.

For anyone wondering if they’re cut out for this:

If you’ve ever felt like you’re too behind, too busy, or too unsure, you’re exactly the kind of person who needs BYOB.

It’s not about becoming fearless; it’s about becoming self-led.

You don’t need a business plan — you need a good backbone, setting the right systems in place that won’t give you burnout over time , philosophy & mindset and a community with a common goal that won’t let you forget who you are.

BYOB gave me all fours.

And because of that, I’ll never look at “being my own boss” the same way again.

Been a silent follower of Lito, and had the thought of starting a side hustle for quite sometime but feeling a lot of uncertainty. BYOB came along and felt a nudge to sign up for it.

Instead of following trendy frameworks, BYOB guides you to look within yourself, your strengths and values so you can build something that is aligned and sustainable. What works for others may not work for you and vice versa.

My biggest takeaway is the mindset shift, which is valuable (and applicable) in other aspects of life. Thank you Dan for being such an unconventional and real teacher.

The greatest value of BYOB is the community — being surrounded by like-minded, incredibly talented people who just get it. Everyone is on a similar journey, figuring out what’s next, and it’s both comforting and inspiring to learn and grow alongside them.

The course helped me gain clarity on my next steps and, more importantly, understand myself better. One of the biggest shifts I’ve experienced is in my mindset — I stopped waiting for the “perfect time” or “perfect plan” and started taking small, intentional steps forward.

Dan is, of course, an amazing lao shi — patient, inspiring, and genuinely invested in everyone’s growth. I’d wholeheartedly recommend BYOB to anyone feeling stuck or uncertain about what’s next, especially if you have that deep desire to create or build something meaningful but keep second-guessing yourself.

BYOB isn’t just about building a business — it’s about building you: your voice, your confidence, and your ability to show up.

This unconventional business course might not be for everyone, you might think this course is too cheesy, BUT THIS should be the course everyone be taking if they ever wanted to start a business. I like to think of it as a future proof business model, where Danny teaches you to design a business with yourself as the center of attention. The business you build should serve you, not the other way round. And we got it wrong all this time. When we are starting a business we often think about profit and money. But what if the reason we are burning out all the time and not getting our desired sales is because we are not putting ourselves first when we are designing our business model?

Give yourself the benefit of doubt: “What if by following the breadcrumbs of what sparks us if the key to building a profitable business?” Well, if it is not profitable at first, at least it will be sustainable 😆

Wait the goods doesn’t stop here, this course also offers you practical ways to build your offer. Many of us might be good at what we do but we might have hard time doing the sales and marketing part. Don’t worry if all you can think of is the sales/ marketing techniques, this course got you covered about it as well.

Many thanks to Danny for designing and building this course, I might not be able to birth of something yet but the seed has been planted. It will bloom with the right time I so strongly believe 💚

I am in the corporate world wondering if life is more than just work, eat, sleep, rinse and repeat. BYOB and mostly Dan, made me feel seen as I connect with like-minded people and courageous dreamers who lead their lives with so much zest. The synergy between lessons and personal growth aided me in my first steps towards rooting so hard for us all - because there are plenty of gifts i can share with the world if i believed and trust myself more. I would recommend BYOB to someone who is navigating life / work and wondering if their gift could be shared with the world. It all starts with You, this soul in a physical body experiencing life for the first time. This tiny step of faith (joining BYOB) will open your mind & heart and show you that You are never alone on these journey. Thank you Dan for showing us how it is done, reminding us we are time travellers and also connecting us with amazing people. No words can express my love and gratitude so Im going to start my postcard/letters business (@jas.withlove) and send you a copy!

I am already an entrepreneur for 6 years. But I want to shift from handmade to service-based. I had an idea going into BYOB. But going through the lessons, some things shifted. I quickly discovered that my idea for the next business wasn’t going to work because it wasn’t what truly lights me up. It was just (what I thought) people will need.

As we excavate with the weekly worksheets (meant to make us do some , I found a new spark. I thought BYOB is a business course that teaches me how to sell, how to market, etc. Yes he teaches that. He even has a bot to help us do all that (come up with offerings etc). But more importantly he taught us how to root it in what truly matters.

If you want a shortcut, just purchase Dan’s chatbot. But if you truly want an impact on your life take up BYOB. You won’t regret.

Having signed up for past courses by Dan, I knew this one would be vastly different from a typical “how-to” beginner business guide. In true Dan fashion, he repackages a business course under the guise of a self-mastery course which, on hindsight, makes total sense!

Besides BYOB, I’ve only taken one other business course taught by a different mentor. What I found different, and really appreciated here, was how Dan invested a big part of the course into excavating our why — before diving into strategy or tactics. Plus, Dan always brings his 100% game , that infectious energy of his manages to show up even when it’s online.

Love the like-minded community and the ever-supportive laoshi who are always there to cheer you on through every baby step and small win. The biggest risk in life is not taking one and through BYOB, one learned to embrace that with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend BYOB to anyone who’s scare-cited about stepping into their personal growth journey to find their seed for being. You’ll discover not just tools, but a tribe that believes in you. The frameworks and teachings provide practical guidance to nurture a refreshed, renewed mindset. A course with content you’ll never find anywhere else, truly one of a kind!

Dearest Dan, I started following you since 2-3 years back & when you launched BYOB, I knew I had to join & it's the best investment for myself. 😁 thank you for sharing so generously and love your super high energy in all the classes! The lessons give me confidence and clear steps to build a business that aligns to me. ❤️
Offercraft is also AMAZING & I love using it to generate ideas for my business.
Thank you so much Dan 老师, you are the best!!
I would join BYOB again if I could. Highly recommend this course!
Ending off with your quote which gave me goosebumps "Every entrepreneur is really a time traveller, building the future version of themselves right now."
I will work towards this future and can't wait to achieve it. THANK YOU DAN ❤️

I had a ton of fun on the BYOB journey! Beyond the engaging sessions, the course helped me understand myself on a deeper level, what drives me, and how I can build a business aligned with who I am. I’m now equipped with practical tools and knowledge to level up my entrepreneurial game. Dan’s guidance, along with the support and inspiration from the amazing cohort, made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone ready to be their own boss! 🍋

BYOB allowed me to dig deep and start figuring out what I'd like to truly stand for and gave me the courage to finally put something out there, even though it's to fundraise for a cause for a start. The new clarity of trusting that my understanding of my seed will deepen over time, hence there is no need to have it perfectly figured out before starting, and learning to put into practice the idea that pivoting IS plan A, was key.
A course suitable for whichever stage you're at, BYOB is for you so long as you're willing to put in the hard(heart) work to dig deep within yourself and desire to create something that aligns with who you are.

Being in this beautiful fun uplifting community was the very best part of being part of BYOB as well as witness Dan’s infinite passion and firey energy for his students and program was the absolute best. It felt like being in a live show and it is one of the best online course programs I’ve been a part of. Dan’s energy is absolutely contagious and infectious.
The most important part of BYOB for me was the realization that not only being myself was possible when building my business, it was the only way to true success. I am so thankful to Dan’s absolute expertise and invaluable life and professional experience combined with a level of vulnerability I’ve rarely witnessed from someone with his level of authority. Truly inspiring and it only made me want to stay as true and authentic to myself as possible. Being in such a big group of beautiful loving quirky talented people was also the best training ground for exercising showing up as our true selves and be welcomed with the biggest unconditional love hug we could ever hope for. Dan sets the standard and example of how we can operate at the highest level of excellence and standard to ourselves while also being the most playful fun loving emotional expressing beings !!! I truly had no idea we could be this true to ourselves in business, this experience happened at such a perfect time for me and I will never forget this wonderful time !! Thank you Dan sensei and Bossmaos I had an absolute blast. I recommend BYOB to absolutely everyone looking to create the best life for themselves this is the place to both find happiness for ourselves as well as find the way we can help others find that happiness too !!! One of the best decisions and gifts I’ve offered myself and my future self !!! A moment in time I will always remember 🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷✨✨

Being part of BYOB has offered me the structure and clarity I had been seeking for the longest time. Through the guidance and heartfelt tools that Dan Laoshi so generously shared, the process of shaping my offer now feels far more grounded and easeful.

This course is a beautiful companion for anyone yearning for alignment, for clarity, congruence, and a sense of community as you take steady steps towards building your dream work and becoming your own #bossmao.

Thank you, Dan Laoshi, for always giving so much of yourself and for holding space with such generosity.

Signing off with deep gratitude,
Sophia 🦋

Right from the beginning, Dan's energy was a driving force throughout BYOB. Through his personable and warm personality, with a masterful craft of using the right words, he delivered thoughtful lessons with insights from the current world and real-time case studies with students. His courage to be who he is really inspired me to be more of "me" in the journey ahead. Since BYOB I have shifted the way I look at building a 'business' and practised using more intuition than logical thinking. So far it is working out well! If you have some inertia or doubt about yourself in creating a business or career, BYOB provides a foundational toolkit in understanding yourself, and building something that is a natural extension of you.

I had benefitted a looOoot from Dan’s sharings via podcast/ig live previously and it was clear to me that BYOB is THE course to attend because I know I will be surrounded by likeminded individuals who share similar values and interests (and that proved to be true, yay!)

The key discovery for me will be that I am not behind in what I’m building, I am just walking the path that is meant for me.
Would highly recommend this to someone who has an itch to scratch, looking for a side quest and/or is looking to carve out a path for oneself alongside brilliant minds and beautiful souls.

Last thing to add: you miss all the shots you don’t take. That’s something that we know very well. To wonder if you’re cut out for this, you are not trusting yourself enough. You know deep down that there’s something that’s meant for you and this could be the start to get closer to realising it. (Warning: Your heart might explode with warmth not known before and your mind might be blown every other minute! Join with great love and curious caution!)

I never thought of business as an expression of my spirit at the highest level of freedom and creativity. The most important part in this that I took away is to partake in a business that has alignment with your own view of success, not others. This part is so foundational and sets this course different from all other business courses. Of course you will learn about what to sell, and how to put together an offer, but at the end of the course you will have a stronger understanding of yourself the most and that is priceless.

Truly the business course that you never knew you needed! I love that BYOB helped me to uncover the root of business-building, understanding my ‘whys’ behind my ‘wants’ and to set up the perfect stage for developing a business with true longevity.

The processes and systems that Dan has put together has enabled me to get a headstart in brainstorming a business plan that fits my personality and emotional energy - a true differentiator to help build something sustainable whilst preserving my well-being (so important in current times!).

Highly recommend this course to someone - more so if you’re on the fence about starting a business or not. The takeaways are impeccable and truly digs deep to help you build a super solid foundation!

BYOB isn’t the typical business course and the thing I enjoyed most was how sustainable Dan’s framework was. Work has always been something that everyone said had to be difficult and soul sucking but Dan offered an alternative.
My favourite thing was the community of people who all were working towards the same goal, independent of where they were on the progress scale. It’s not often encouraged in Asia to think outside the box or go against the norm and having this course reminded me there are like minded fellows out there.

The business frameworks made a lot of sense - think of it as a behind the scenes of what business owners do, broken down into digestible pieces so it no longer feels as daunting. He also talks about how important it is to celebrate small wins and rejoice at other’s successes, which adds to the “we’re in it together” feel of it all.

I would recommend it to people who feel lost, unsure if there’s another way and most importantly if you even you don’t walk away with an immediate business, you would have gained 1-2 takeaways that you could bring it in your future career/life.

Many thanks for the guidance Dan. Lemons for life!

P/S for Dan’s eyes only: I appreciate how you show up 100% as yourself every single day - your energy is infectious and I thank you for bringing us all on this journey :)

Ever since getting to know of the existence of LITO, I’ve never once doubt the change and value that Dan would bring into my life - it’s pack filled with wisdom, excitement and growth! And as always, he always overdelivers because that’s his passion and joy! I get so scar-cited about learning from him all the time that discomfort is now my chosen playground 🌱 thank you Dan for always modeling what it means to have One Backbone 🔥

Dan created a platform for dreamers who have vision to Be Your Own Boss, started with mindset shift, equipped us with frameworks and tools. Not only towards the “First Step” but to build a business that is joyful and fun. The program definitely gave more value than what it promised (as always).

BYOB helped me look deep within and start my entrepreneurial journey with a strong foundation, deep rooted into who I am! Dan also helped me realise that we get to have our own definition of success and failure which blew my mind because unlike corporate KPIs, I get to define what great looks like. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to leave their soul sucking day job!

That we all celebrate each other's wins! I loooove how amazing OfferCraft™ is! Yep, would 100% recommend BYOB to someone else.

I joined BYOB at a time when I was trying to understand how to go from showing up to selling my offers, one of which was doing something I've never done before, that was running a workshop.

Practically speaking, what I loved was how Dan broke down the problems we were facing real time and coaching us through it with not only mindset, but real-time action we could take, as well as tweaks to our strategies, when we were having second thoughts, fears and self-doubt. This was because it was a live programme and we had access to Dan's expertise.

BYOB is a personal mastery program disguised as business mastery, and being around people who are audacious moves us further than we can go alone. Seeing everyone's wins puts us in environments that inspire action.

I discovered how important it is to build up my library, my collection of work, and how that would support my clients in deciding if we are a good fit. This was relevant as I was prioritising short form social media and honestly speaking, avoiding the work of building the library. I also understood how I could optimise by business as a Projector by Human Design.

I would recommend BYOB to anyone contemplating starting their business while in their day job, as it shows us step by step how we can do it based on our energy type, and recognise our seasons of rest ideating and execution. Even if you have started your business and are in the initial stages, this program has gems in it for you too.

To the person reading this, when you enter Dan's programs or essentially the community he's created, you're making a decision to take a bet to go all in with yourself and your business, so go for it and make the time count, it's like a launchpad, you will be in a very different place from where you've started.

Before this, taking action seemed difficult because I didn't know what I was missing. Business for me has been about finding puzzle pieces and piecing it together, and this course helped me find my missing pieces.

Enrolling into BYOB was one of the most empowering decisions I made on my business journey. Coming from a long corporate background, the idea of starting my own business felt overwhelming — I had passion, but absolutely zero business knowledge or structure.

BYOB changed that for me.

Dan truly over-delivered. He didn’t just teach business strategies — he shared his wealth of experience, broke everything down into a clear and simple framework, and made it so easy for someone like me, a complete beginner, to take action immediately.

I graduated with clarity, structure, and so much confidence.
Most importantly, BYOB taught me how to build a soul-aligned business — one rooted in passion, purpose, and authenticity, not hustle for the sake of hustling.

I’m deeply grateful for the guidance from Dan, his tough love, the tools, and frameworks shared in this course. If you want to build a business from the heart and create work that feels aligned with who you truly are, I highly recommend BYOB!!

Coming into BYOB felt like everything I’d been searching for finally clicked into place — a framework that turns even your craziest, floatiest ideas into something real and thriving. Because here, nothing is too much, too crazy, or too out there...as long as it’s you.

It’s not just about building a business; it’s about creating one that honours your energy, your rhythm, and your soul.

What makes BYOB even more special is the community — a collective of like-minded dreamers and bossmaos who are all walking this path of building a life rooted in truth and courage. Just being here is proof that courage runs in our blood. 💛

And of course, none of this would be possible without Dan — thank you for showing up with such vulnerability, generosity, and fiery dedication week after week. Only with you does a “2-hour class” stretch joyfully into five (and somehow, we love every single minute of it!).

If you’ve been toying with the idea of starting something on your own, feeling stuck in your day job, or wondering “Is entrepreneurship really for me?” — this could be your first step in finding out. BYOB helps you uncover what strengths and passions you already have within you, and how to turn them into a business AND a life that’s fulfilling, aligned, and genuinely fun.

If you’ve been feeling a little lost, ready to realign, or longing to rediscover your north star in both business and life — BYOB is a gift. It’s been truly transformational for me, giving me the clarity and courage to pivot my business toward a direction that feels deeply aligned — and to finally let go of what’s been quietly draining me for years. 🌿

This is testimonial is really about Dan, because I can't talk about BYOB without relating to the learning that I had derived from the entire LITO universe! Dan has stitched together an eco-system that just works so much better when you listen to the podcasts, attend the other courses, follow the IG (and DM Dan). It speaks to the congruency throughout all of Dan's offerings and regardless of when you decide to step into this universe, you'd still be exposed to all of that magic!

My favourite part of BYOB is to be placed within a community of like-minded people! It gave us a safe space to dream boldly, to inspire and be inspired. I joined BYOB at a time of massive shifts in my career, and it was comforting to know that I was not only not alone in my journey, but my actions could ripple on and nudge another to move forward as well! I've never once thought I'd even contemplate building a business, but it now seems possible, even if I don't end up doing that. At the core of it, it seemed that Dan is really just inviting us to build our own life :)

The internet is overflowing with courses on building your own business. During my search, I came across countless programs that all seemed to follow the same formula - eg. how to get more leads, grow a social media following, or apply some "common sense" hacks. The problem is, these approaches don’t fit everyone. If self-promotion on social media comes naturally to you, you probably wouldn’t even need such a course in the first place.

Dan’s BYOB course is different. It’s not about blindly copying someone else’s playbook. Instead, it’s a comprehensive system that helps you uncover what is uniquely you - your strengths, preferences, and values - so that you can build a business truly aligned with who you are. This isn’t a cut-and-paste course where everything is handed to you; you’ll need to put in the hard work, but the payoff is a business designed to fit you, not the other way around.

If you’re looking for a prescriptive course with ready-made steps to follow, this won’t be it. But if you’re serious about creating a business you’ll enjoy and sustain over the long term, BYOB is absolutely worth investing in.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to build a business that feels authentic and sustainable. Even if you don’t yet know what to do or where to start (as was my case), all you need is the willingness to take that first step forward - and Dan will guide you from there.

Dan's lessons are engaging and full of laughter. What i enjoyed was him not just teaching business frame work, but also showing us how a realistic pathway to starting a business looks like and how do we navigate through the different stages through mindset work. Real life case study was a real gem and Dan coaches honestly to help us grow. His humorous analogies make the learning light hearted and truly entertaining!

What I liked most about being part of BYOB was the way it combined strategy with heart. It wasnt just about business models or marketing tactics; it focused a lot on self-clarity, confidence, and creating a business that feels alive and aligned and authentic to you. I loved how the course encouraged me to see my work as transformation rather than just transactions, and to build offers that are simple, specific, and deeply valuable.

As a result of BYOB, I’ve experienced some powerful shifts. I now see business not as a single ladder but as a series of assets and opportunities that can compound over time. I discovered the importance of focusing on my One Human - the person I’m here to serve - and designing offers and content that speak directly to them. I also learned that momentum comes not from perfection but from action, iteration, and trust. That shift alone has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and made me more confident about launching and selling.

I would absolutely recommend BYOB to anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure if they are “cut out for” business. This course is not about forcing you into someone else’s blueprint—it’s about helping you uncover your own spine, your own story, and your own sustainable path to growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for permission to start, BYOB will show you how to stop waiting and start building with confidence.

What really makes a difference (at least to me) is how practical and human this program is. From mapping micro-steps that create traction, to celebrating quick wins, to rethinking what success really means—it’s a rare blend of tough love, encouragement, and practical systems. If you’re wondering whether you’re ready, the truth is readiness isn’t like studying for an exam, it’s a decision. BYOB helps you make that decision and back it up with tools and clarity that actually work.

However, must be prepared to be "overdelivered" to; because even though i think it says somewhere that it's 2 hours every weekend, i'm almost certain that there's never even been a session that ended within 4 hours.

BYOB brought about a network of xiaomaos who were all ready to dive in with Dan being our teacher 'laoshi'. Dan’s amazing ability to break everything down into digestible knowledge during the online live classes PLUS visually appealing graphics meant that he kept all our attention well over 3 hours. He does not hold back in providing advice and feedback and that’s where we learnt the most.
BYOB allowed me space to continue to delve into what I have always wanted to do, during this period of transition. Further thought diving through Dan’s offercraft have pushed me in making ‘slowly but surely’ progress in my own journey in being my own boss! Trust the process.
Totally would recommend BYOB to anyone who are looking into being their own boss, whilst being more attuned to themselves and living their best life!

Being part of BYOB connects me with a community of coursemates sharing the common aspiration of doing heart-centred businesses, which I very much appreciate - having the right support network is important.
This program has been a helpful exercise for me in building clarity for my business aspirations through the assignments involved, including clarifying the essentials and key fundamentals of doing a heart-centred business sustainably.
I am really glad to recommend BYOB to you :)

Being part of BYOB has been such a gift — the commeownity, the connections, and the well of knowledge I know will serve me for years and decades to come. It’s an energising space where bosses gather to learn and grow together, and I love, love that Dan always overdelivers. A 2-hour class turned into 5 hours, and I am still left wanting more. That’s the BYOB experience.

Through this journey, I’ve become more focused and deeply rooted in my ROOT and SOUL, the true foundation of running an intentional and thriving business. I’d recommend BYOB to anyone ready to tenfold their knowledge and step into a business that feels aligned and sustainable.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether you’re cut out for this, know that having an effervescent, kind, and generous teacher guiding you makes all the difference in the often lonely world of entrepreneurship 💖

Dan has a masterful way with words which helps reframe things in powerful ways.

What I appreciated most about BYOB was Dan’s ability to reframe things in a way that opens new perspectives — whether that’s helping you look deeper within yourself or showing you how to communicate your value to others. He brings both structure and depth: the modules follow a clear sequence, the workbooks and prompts are thoughtfully designed, and he takes time to answer questions in a way that turns them into live case studies for everyone’s benefit.

I was originally drawn to the course because of its spiritual angle — the idea of building a business in alignment with your values. The Human Design foundation was particularly useful, especially in helping me understand my Manifestor type and Emotional Authority more deeply — and how to work with my natural cycles and energy instead of against them.

The course also gives you flexibility. You can go at your own pace and watch replays, but I found that showing up live, doing the “funsignments,” and engaging with the community made a huge difference. For me, participating in real time was what made the experience so valuable — I don’t think I would have gotten as much out of it if I had left it on the back burner.

Overall, I’d recommend BYOB to anyone who feels stuck or out of alignment and is looking for clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of themselves. It’s not just about business — it’s about building in a way that feels true to who you are.

BYOB is truly one of the best decisions I made this year. The course was fun, insightful, and the time just flew by. The workbook and funsignments were thoughtfully structured — making it easy to apply what we learned, while guiding us into discovery and helping us build systems for our businesses. I really appreciate that!

What stood out most was how meticulous, supportive, and understanding Dan was. He constantly checked in with us, encouraged us, and coached us to step into being the boss we want to be. I absolutely love his energy, wisdom, and generosity. Such an extremely competent man with so much to give. 🙌.

Love,
Kim

As a SuperSnowBossMao ⚡️❄️🍋, the most noticeable transformation is how I’m showing up daily with excitement knowing that all my little steps add up to me stepping into my boss era. With BYOB Operating Spine as a structure, I could see more clearly what I have, and what to build. Recommend people who are willing to take actions (micro ones included) to join this, you get to know more about yourself while building your business.

What I like most about being part of BYOB is that firstly, you get to soak up Dan's magic. His energy is magnetic and helps you believe that you can do your business just by being the most YOU you can be. You really don't have to pretend to be anyone else, just be the most YOU you can and that itself is a empowering. Then imagine, you are surrounded by many other bossmaos who are developing this thinking each week!

I would recommend BYOB to people who have a seed of starting their own thing but don't know what to do, or need a structured path of guidance from someone who has done it before and want to cut time and energy figuring it out on their own. I'm a creative freelancer and I needed more structure to grow and this BYOB course hits all the right spots and more that you won't even realise you need.

Dan's BYOB is for people who want do to business to find freedom to express their most authentic self and add value to the world by doing so. It is not for people who want to make money for the sake of making more money.

It's one of the best investment I made after following Dan via LITO podcast for yeeeeaaaars. When he dropped BYOB i didn't think so fast, I was on the waitlist and checked my email EVERY SINGLE DAY so that I would not miss the early bird. So you definitley shouldn't miss it too.

I love that BYOB is such a fun, loving and supportive community where BIG DREAMS are encouraged and backed by a step-by-step approach with strong systems to see us through every step of the way. 🥳 I know this community is REAL when Bossmaos are willing to be vulnerable, ask the difficult questions and do what scares the *shit* out of us, all to work towards turning dreams into reality!

BYOB gave me the CONFIDENCE to build a business that value-adds and radiates so much joy! Forget about working unsustainably in something we don't even believe in or trading our authenticity for sales! BYOB has taught me that building a business that is fun, fulfilling and aligned is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE when we trust in our human design, understand who we really are, what we value and who we're creating for.

YES YES YES! I highly recommend BYOB to anyone who's interested to build a meaningful business that aligns beautifully with YOU! ✨💕 It's worth the investment!

If this sparks curiosity and you're wondering if it's worth it, YES IT IS!!!! Take it from someone who has never invested in a course like this before because it never felt quite right. I love that it's about business but also more importantly about YOU (me). I've learnt that everything stems from you, so I really appreciate how BYOB takes the time to let me discover more about myself and what truly matters to me and my energetics before diving deeper into the business side of things which should be an extension of me anyway. Don't expect a cookie cutter course but if you're here considering it you probably already know it anyway hahahah be excited and get ready!!!!!!

Being part of BYOB has been an incredibly meaningful experience. It’s such a supportive, like-minded community, everyone is on a similar journey of wanting to offer something valuable to the world, while also working inwardly to reconnect with our true essence. That combination of outer purpose and inner growth is something truly special.

One of the most impactful parts of the course for me was the “finding my own seeds” exercise. I didn’t expect it to be so challenging, I was stuck on it for days. But stepping away, then returning with fresh eyes, helped me move through it. And now, I feel like I’ve genuinely uncovered something important within myself.

Dan consistently overdelivers, and his energy is contagious. Watching him lead the course with such ease and flow, it’s like watching a fish in water. His authenticity makes the learning process both inspiring and grounded.

Whether you’re building a side hustle or simply building a deeper relationship with yourself, this course is a must. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Thank you Dan 💯

BYOB is therapy for the mind and soul. It taught me how to interact with and nurture my business like a precious spiritual being that’s taking root, coming into the world to serve and bring light to others.

Dan shows us what to do when we don’t know which seeds to sow, how to nurture our unique gifts, and how to help them thrive in an authentic way. One of the greatest gifts is knowing that the energy we carry matters, awareness matters, and that I have value. With that awareness... lighting my seed, heart, and soul inside, I now create with more love and alignment, with less pressure and force. And without doing anything special or deliberate, someone actually reached out to me out of the blue to buy my art. I see similar things happening to other Xiaomaos who lead with their heart, too.

Dan is an open-hearted, sincere coach who never leaves anyone behind. He answers every question with his full capacity, love, and joyful teaching style. Lessons are always full of life, humour, wisdom, and sometimes even tears from the deep human connections he create, bring together and nurture.

It’s not for you if you’re chasing formulas, spreadsheets, profit margins, quick-win techniques, or accountant talk.

BYOB is more than a programme... it’s learning how to come home to myself.

With love,

This is an unconventional entrepreneurship course with an extraordinary teacher, Dan! I started from zero, not even knowing what a digital offer looks like, and had no idea where to begin. After 6 weeks, I’ve gained so much clarity on the business I want to create, one that’s aligned with my soul, and I’ve started building my personal brand and course library. Definitely worth the ROI!

There are a few things I truly love about being part of BYOB. It’s interactive and fun, and Dan’s vibe and energy are so positive and uplifting throughout each lesson. He is both spiritual and intuitive, and the classmates are wonderfully supportive.

Mine was a shift. Been having a thought if starting a sideline but didn't know how so I stop. When I saw Dan BYOB lesson, his teaser reels just resonate so much to my current work life. So I look the leap of faith, even if I dont use it now, I can save it for later. But during each week lesson, with the funssignment, I made progress. Instead of just dreaming and procasinating, I took small steps creating my own insta page. Thanks Dan and to all the encouraging bossmaos in class.

For anyone procrastinating about whether to take this course — you absolutely should! Creating a business isn’t just about numbers and strategy; it’s also about cultivating a healthy mindset and not backing down in the face of setbacks. Instead of only talking about it, take real action like I did and start making your dream a reality.
