Family. Mentorship. Revenue models. And why most businesses don’t need more tactics. They need fewer distractions and better systems.

A Years Worth of Expenses Covered #standaretodream Challenge with Daniël-James van den Berg
#standaretodream @stanforcreators learn more at: https://d.helloskip.com/XYs9 Okay, so I'm super stoked to share this! Imagine your salary, rent, and groceries covered for a year! This is the Stan Dare to Dream Challenge, and I'm taking a little winter stroll up one of my favorite hills here in Greeley, Colorado. For those who don’t know me, I’m Daniel James van den Berg, an immigrant-turned-U.S. citizen, entrepreneur, and creator. My journey has been anything but traditional—from growing up in South Africa with barely enough to eat, to building a seven-year-old business, to now helping creators and business owners scale. The Stan Store opportunity would be a game-changer for me, allowing me to expand my mission of helping businesses, freelancers, and communities grow through smart, AI-driven marketing. Here’s how I’d use it: ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 🏆 Provide tools & strategies for business owners to market smarter, not harder. 🏆 Scale the Maximize AI Workshop, which has already helped 160+ entrepreneurs level up. 🏆 Support freelancers who want to escape burnout and build sustainable income streams. ✨ Give back to nonprofits like the Colorado Rebalance Program & Genesis Project for single moms. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ I started DJM.Design with a simple goal—help brands grow by 30% using strategic design, AI, and sales psychology. But it’s never been just about business. It’s about creating real impact. ✨ From my MoneyBru Show podcast that fuses South African culture with business, to the merch projects that started as a client appreciation initiative (and now have a life of their own), I’ve seen firsthand how powerful community-driven business can be. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ That’s why I’m all-in on Stan. It’s not just a store—it’s a platform that lets creators take control of their income and impact. With this opportunity, I’d be able to go bigger, give more, and create resources that help people grow in ways they never thought possible. I’ve been a big dreamer since day one, and I KNOW that bigger things are ahead. Thanks to @stanforcreators for putting this together—let’s make it happen. 🚀 📲 Check out my store: https://stan.store/djmdesign #StanDareToDream #EntrepreneurLife #ContentCreators #djmdesign #danieljamesvandenberg#creators🚀🔥   ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ MONEYBRU ACCESS1.
