Why Goldspun Training Exists

If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or pressured by how everyone else seems to “do” marketing — you’re not alone.

After more than a decade in branding and business, I saw too many entrepreneurs getting stuck because no one ever taught them the why behind the how.

Goldspun Training was built to change that — to make marketing accessible, ethical, and actually enjoyable again.

I believe in:
✨ Clarity over complexity
✨ Integrity over manipulation
✨ Progress over perfection

Because when you understand your brand, you build with purpose — and that changes everything.

Our Flagship Course: Brilliant Brand Basics

Your step-by-step guide to building a brand that works.

An 8-module, self-paced course designed for people who are new to business, branding, or marketing — or who’ve been winging it and want to do it properly.

Each module includes short video lessons (15–20 minutes) and practical downloads covering:
✅ Brand foundations and values
✅ Identifying your ideal client
✅ Crafting your message and voice
✅ Creating consistent content
✅ Planning, tracking, and strategy

It’s everything you need to take your brand from “it’ll do” to “it clicks.”

Hi, I’m Danielle. I’m a multi-passionate entrepreneur, author, and podcast host who’s spent over 15 years helping people and businesses unlock their potential.

I created Goldspun Training to show small business owners that marketing doesn’t have to feel manipulative or confusing — it can be empowering, ethical, and even fun.

When I’m not teaching or creating, you’ll find me running Goldspun Support, building Fractional Link, writing books, or chatting business stories over a brew on my podcast, Business and a Brew.
