The Creator Who Almost Quit: Daniel Asante on Consistency and Purpose to 10million Audience

The journey from obscurity to influence is rarely a straight line. For Daniel Asante, fashion content creator with over 10 million followers, that path wound through council estates in Northwest London, the loss of his father at age seven, and a banking career that never quite felt right.
"When I was seven years old, my father passed away," Daniel shares, reflecting on his childhood with a single mother who worked as a cleaner. Despite financial struggles that led to bullying, his mother instilled a profound sense of gratitude and purpose that would later become the foundation of his success. "I've always believed I had a purpose," Daniel explains, recalling how even as a ten-year-old, he would gather his peers to discuss life's deeper meanings.
What makes Daniel's story particularly powerful is his commitment to value over monetization. For three years, he posted fashion content consistently without focusing on making money, simply because he enjoyed it and wanted to help others. Creating up to twenty videos daily, he built an impressive content library through sheer determination. "I was doing it for fun, but then I was consistent, and I feel consistency is very important," he reflects. The breakthrough came only after he nearly deleted his accounts from frustration – six months after a friend convinced him to continue, his following exploded.
Daniel's philosophy centers on discipline rather than motivation: "Motivation is based on how you feel... but what about the days when you don't feel like posting?" This mindset has carried him through countless challenges, including caring for his mother who now suffers from dementia. His advice to aspiring creators is refreshingly simple: "It's already a no if you don't try." Through his journey, Daniel demonstrates that with persistence, purpose, and the courage to keep showing up when others quit, extraordinary transformation is possible.
Have you been holding back from pursuing your purpose? What might happen if you committed to consistency in your passion? Listen now to discover how one man's dedication to serving others transformed not just his life, but millions of others.
