We were lucky to catch up with Danielle Winters recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Danielle thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?
I am hoping to build a legacy that inspires others towards connection, community, support, awareness of their energy, love and kindness. I hope that people will say after I am gone that I was joyful, fun, inspiring, supportive and loving.
I hope to be remembered for the work that I do in energy, through the aura and chakras and whatever is yet to present itself to me between now and that point in time.
Danielle, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hello readers! Thank you for taking the time to virtually connect with me, my name is Danielle and I am a professional Aura Photographer and energy reader based in Los Angeles, California. I have been an aura photographer for about 3 years now and I absolutely LOVE what I do, I only wish I had have been doing this earlier. My first experience with aura photography was when I was about 14 and then again at 16, now years later I am brought back to aura photography by the universe connecting me with someone who gave me the idea of doing it as a profession.
For those who don’t know what Aura Photography is, it is an exploration of the human energy field (aka, the aura), this is a specialised process that through a hand sensor measures the electrical wavelengths being emitted by a person and then translates that information into color in your aura photo. The resulting color(s) surrounding you in the photograph hold certain meanings that can be read by me in your aura reading session. For those who would like to deep dive into their entire energy system and main aura personality color I also have an in-depth session where I then discuss ways to balance and energise your aura and chakras.
I help my clients by helping them shift awareness to their current vibration which can help you bring new direction, confirmation and empowerment to your life, it can also help explain why you are experiencing certain things right now. It is part of personal growth and enlightenment along your individual spiritual journey.
The main things I want readers to be aware of is that:
I have a studio in Los Angeles where you are able to make an appointment to have your private aura photo session, I am able to do single, couple and owner + pet aura photographs.
Book my mobile aura photo booth for private events, corporate wellness events, expos, conferences, brand activations, pop-up collaborations with stores, festivals, dance parties, any type of event or party.
Can you talk to us about your experience with selling businesses?
Yes I have sold a few businesses up to this point, they were all restaurants, and my mother and I were owner/operators. The biggest and most important lesson for other entrepreneurs is don’t be delusional on the selling price – most entrepreneurs are emotionally connected to their businesses and so can have an unrealistic view of the value of the business. The market will always tell you if you’ve priced it too high so you will have to accept that fact. And secondly there is usually 1 buyer who is The One, you need to be able to recognise them when they come along and not screw up the deal.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I am still in the midst of building my social media, but from previous experience I would say these points: 1) Consistency – you have to be active and engaging with other accounts, once a week consistently is better than bursts here and there, and pick your channels, you don’t have to be everywhere all at once or even ever.
2) Social media can be a full time gig on it’s own, but unless you are getting massive sales from it, don’t stress about being on it everyday.
3) Work out what your message is, and how you want to connect with people.
