This is the most honest post I've ever written. RIP Social Revampp - my time is up. In March 2020 - almost killed myself in a car crash - had my license revoked - lost my job - and rocked up on this platform a lil lost soul. I started out as Banner Man Dan - selling £10 LinkedIn Canva banners. Emma supported me, and I ate Aldi super noodles on butties for dinners. At the beginning of my new venture - competition tried to shut me down - but I still carried on. Designing gave me purpose when I felt like I had lost my identity - and when the whole world was scared because of the global pandemic.I remember one of my first clients asking me to send them an invoice - I didn't know what one was - had to Google it, ha. That only seems like yesterday. As months passed - I became visible - then credible - then profitable. People dropped in my DMs every single day from around the globe. Money was decent - so me and Emma moved out of a lil mouldy bedsit/flat to a beautiful Cottage on a farm. Soon after - I was diagnosed with both autism and ADHD. My whole life started to make sense. It changed everything and nothing at the same time. Aside from the friends for life I've met on LinkedIn - my biggest wins here are:- Generating 170K in sales- Working with 500+ clients- Receiving 240 testimonials- Supporting others on their Neurodivergent venture- Helping people make money and gain clarityAnd the biggest thing:Making myself proud. All my life, I wrote myself off. Not now. I'm still gonna work part time freelance - more on this soon! But I don't enjoy being at home alone in front of my screen every day. Wearing too many hats - continuously juggling tasks - tires me out. I have a neurodivergent coach to help me with the most basic things.It feels impossible when tryna work in and on myr biz - it's relentless. Especially from home. And especially for me. Bet you're probably thinking - wow - I didn't expect this. I've lied to myself for too long now - told myself what I'm doing is better than most other options. My intuition tells me differently. It feels crazy walking away from something I built from nothing. From a business that I could grow more if my head was in the game - but it isn't. I know this chapter was meant to be. Now it's time to level up to Danny Townley v3.I've learned a ton about - design - copywriting - marketing - sales - automation, and AI, mostly on my own. Now it's time to learn from others - and to be around good people who accept me for who I am. As well as working on 12 different client projects - I'm tryna figure out my next chapter. Do I wanna do something completely different? or work in marketing to develop my skills even more?Dunno. But I'm tuned in right now. It took a lot to write this post.Why did I do so?Because I'm a big believer in saying the right thing - in the right place - at the right time. Over & Out 💜 🧠 📈

Good on you mate!As much as I loved working hard and doing what I love, learning new things and developing a business, I was getting so damn exhausted.I ended up doing more of what I didn't like and was always stressed over something. Now I might get stressed but I have people around me that can help when I ask as well as a stable income that gives me something to work towards. You've done amazing, your hard work and dedication shows through in everything you do, if you feel its time to move on and do something new that reduces your stresses then go for it. You will smash it! I'm always thankful for all the help and advice you have given me and not to mention the support. Maybe you could become a beard model? 🤔

Dear Danny, you are a legend. You are an inspiring and an amazing human being.You have inspired me and you have inspired hundreds if not thousands of people here on LinkedIn.For that alone you will always have my respect and my appreciation as a fellow creative. A close friend of mine, Michael Laws, helped me when I was unsure of the right direction to go in. He’s an experienced and talented career realignment coach and may be helpful to talk with. Whatever you choose and decide is best for you next, trust that there will be a perfect place and a heartfelt welcome for you. You may find, once you have a clearer sense of what will be a better fit for you, that the offers and opportunities will come. Just as they did as you sat on the hill, wanting to join a running group. I’m in a similar position with work and self-employment and need to secure 2-3 days of regular creative/writing work a week.I’ve loved what I’ve been doing too, but sometimes self-employment runs it’s course. Look after yourself my friend. And keep sharing your journey with us all. I’m here if you ever need to talk.

F*ckin love this Danny, that damn intuition, we touched on this in exchange of comments the other day, that force, that something, you know it!Most people freak at change, especially when the 'perception is' "But he's onto a good thing". Yeah maybe for cash in the bank, but not for happiness in the soul! You know yourself more now, keep digging in, it's beautiful to see, and good one💙 James Hansen, when you find a coach that fits, it's priceless! You 2 are such a great match.Love the video, I know that feeling, started falling out of planes for my 50th, here's the most recent.The point, lost everything at 51, gained myself back because of it, especially up 12K feet. Folks wondered wtf I was doing, still do tbh.You have many years on me, AND you've shared what other daren't, kudos to you Danny 👏 When you know that feeling, you KNOW.Maybe we'll get up the over the Cornish Coast one day...Celebrating you pal , in many ways 😎

Hey dude. I’m sorry to hear about this but at the same time I’m glad you’re taking a step towards what makes you happy (or happier) It’s a lonely world doing what we do, even with the support from others. People see the £1200+ profile price tags and think “wow you must be loaded”But what they don’t see is the marketing costs, the design software license costs, business running costs. And the ongoing pressure to find new clients. It’s a hard job. I know you’ll do well no matter what you do. Oh… and I’m jealous about the sky dive. Wanted to do one for years

You're not everyone's cup of tea, Danny, because you are who you are. Took me a long time to realise I was who I was and I'm paying the process still today, for not allowing myself to be who I am. Be proud of who you are and f**k the rest. You do you, pal.

How meaningful and honest, a rare quality I don't see much of, especially on here. I know we covered the above you mention, as you say the being at home in front of a screen and how this can impacts you. I also identify (loneliness & isolation can be horrible). You are an amazing person and very talented, remember that. We don't have to be everything to everyone, not on a screen anyway. It's not as import as the relationship we have with ourselves and those that are important around us. This is hard when living with ADHD and so easy to get lost in perfomance mode. None of what you have already achieved is lost and you have done amazingly, what a difference since you begun this journey. On to the next faze of what Danny Townley would like for himself 👌👏 Looking forward to joining you on this next part of your journey. Loads of love and respect coming your way my man 💙

Just by being honest and writing this posts I guarantee you will have helped others who feel or have felt the same, but perhaps have not dared to admit it. Firm believer of everything happens for a reason 🤷♀️
