[Music] Hello gorgeous people of the power of luxury salon. First of all, I want to tell you how fun it has been to see your shares, to receive your private messages. I feel like we've got a range of different ways that this hit. So, for some of you, the relationship parts have really hit. For some of you, it's more like the self-worth part really hit. Others just immediately saw the connection to their businesses and what this means. And so, I can already tell each and every one of you is having their own experience with this this class. And it's what I expected would happen. So I'm very happy about that.

This for me is like the tip of the iceberg. This is what's the most exciting part I think is that this is the tip of the iceberg. And this is actually the conversation that I am one of the most most excited to talk about. Like when I think of what lights me up and what makes me feel passionate in life, this this really makes me passionate because I believe that there are different ways to look at the human condition. There are different ways to look at evolution. There are different ways to look at change. And a lot of those ways are something's wrong. But a lot of those ways are what else could we do?

And as I watch a personal development world, I watch a lot of the angle be something's wrong. Something's wrong. Hurry up. Fix it. Something's wrong. You have to fix it or else you and your entire generation are doomed for the rest of time. And although that is important and there are things in this world that must be pivoted and changed, it's not the whole world. There's another side of the world that is so important, which is what's next? What now? What where where can we go from here? And if we only ever talk about what's wrong, it it's not a very great experience of being alive. It's like a half experience. It's not full. Because yes, we want to constantly be bettering what we can better, but there's also just evolution for passion's sake.

And when I look at what lights me up in my life more than in any other thing is to go where things are good and create greatness because I think that was my favorite phase of my life. I'm so grateful for the phase where things were not good and I created good. But when things were good and I created great, something changed inside of me. It made me realize that you don't need rock bottom. You just need a point of no return. And that depending on your standards does not need to be very far down. But in order to have higher standards, you got to have a different relationship with yourself. Because when our relationship with our self is not great, we will allow ourselves to go very very very very far down before we say, "Hey, something's wrong. I need to fix it." When our standards are much higher, we get to say that's a point of no return and I'm shifting things because for passion's sake because this is not what I desire for this life. Because there's something different I could be doing because I know I'm capable because it's all like above a different line. You don't have to go down into the depths. You can hit a point of no return from high standards.

And not everyone loves this discussion because it does trigger some people in the world who are like, but what about me? I don't have the privilege of of not being at a at a rock bottom. I am at a rock bottom. What what about me? And what I want to say to you is I love you. I honor you. I honor your process. I remember being there. And if you want, you can quantum leap. But if you need to be seen in the rock bottom, this just won't be the right conversation because there are conversations for that. There are more conversations for that than there are for any other thing. There are more conversations about trauma. There are more conversations about, you know, heal, deep healing. There are more conversations about moving through pain and allowing yourself to belong and deserve. There are more conversations about that on the planet than we will ever need. So, I don't worry for you. I don't fear for you that you won't get what you need. But if you're not able to calibrate to the higher frequency here because you've got to touch the parts where you are right now, I honor that. I've been there. I know exactly what that feels like. It's just I won't adapt to this. So you can know this is not the right fit for me because where we're going to go from here now is up and up.

I've got a lot I want to talk to you about and I only have 3 days. And so I just want you to know if you don't feel seen or you don't feel like I understand where you're at and it's going above what you believe you're capable of believing in, it's just it's just this particular container because this is the power of luxury and it's a frequency within itself and I'm not I can't alter it in 3 days and get everything I want to get inside of it. So just know this isn't the full spectrum of everything I teach. This is a very specific frequency and I won't be offended whatsoever if it's not the right one for you. Okay? Okay. So, I just want to make sure that that is very clear as we move forward. And I apologize for my snotty nose. It's not very luxurious, but the background makes up for it. Okay.

So, let's say today we are also going to have a draw at the end of the call. Um, this luxurious snot is what we're going for. Um, there is going to be another draw at the end of this call. Two of you again are going to uh manifest 2K and alphab. So all that needs to be done is to share the well the the graphics of today. So either the number two um session 2 call or the awesome graphic that my team made of the woman with the hat walking in front of the bus stop with the alpha fem or the power of luxury sign which I'm completely obsessed with. So you can do that. And also on my Instagram and my Facebook page, the two latest posts that are on there, if those feel like your vibe to share, one of them is a small bit of me speaking. The other one is the animation of this if you want to share that. Those are also things that you can share that would add extra chances. So everything that was shared up until now is no longer there. That was for yesterday's draw. So for a chance at today's draw, you would do whatever we presented today if you want to be a part of that. And also simply, you can just take a little video, tag me um while I'm speaking, we can absolutely do that as well. And if you get me while I'm saying something that's like not relevant and you're like, "Oh gosh, it's not perfect video." Just put music on top of it. You don't need to work too hard. You can just put music on top of it and it'll be perfect. Okay.

So, the power of luxury. Why is this so important beyond what we talked about yesterday? Is because there is a world beyond the world of the mind that moves into artistry, energetics, the the hard to understand. And the fact is most human beings spend most of their life in their head. This is where we spend most of our time. Am I good enough? Do I look good enough? Do I sound good enough? Do I belong? Do they want me here? Do they like me here? Do I fit in? Should I have said that? Should I not have said that? Are my Do my clothes look okay? Does my hair look okay? Is there something on my face? Is there something in my teeth? Why did I say that? I shouldn't have said that. I don't think this person likes me. Is that person upset? Why is no one seeing me? Why is this waiter not coming? Why is this not happening? Why did this happen? Why did this happen to me? Why did I deserve this? What must I have done to deserve this? Why is this not happening? All the time. And when we're doing this, it's very difficult for us to be connected to the outside world because we are having a very internalized experience of our life trying to calculate every movement to make sure that we belong.

Now this is all in the frequency of deserving. Do I deserve to be here? Do I deserve to be with these people? Do I deserve this seat at this table? Am I good enough? This is all in the same thing that we have just been spoonfed for generations that our job on this planet is to somehow belong when in fact I mean God made that choice a long time ago. You're here. So what next? What else can we be working on? Once we're like, okay, I'm going to take God's word for it. Mother nature, God, the universe did their magic. Abracadabra. Poof. I'm here. Why am I questioning this for the rest of my life? Like it happened. We're here. What else can I do with this existence?

When I let go of all of this self-obsession and instead I open up into this like gratitude that I've been chosen. Instead of wondering if I deserve to be alive, I realize it's a luxury. To be a spirit that gets one of these bodies, that can taste and smell and touch and love and all the amazing things that human beings get to do. And I can actually start looking at my life very differently, which is I got about a hundred years of this if I'm lucky. What do I want to do? And what could I create and who might I affect? It's a much different experience to already accept that you're here and that that's that was part of the plan and to then connect to the rest of the world.

When I am not so self-conscious and when instead I am just conscious and present, I'm not wondering if I belong and if I have something in my teeth and if I should have said that or not. I'm actually thinking, gosh, that person is so beautiful when they talk. They're so expressive. Gosh, I love what that person just said. That was so smart. I love this group of people. What a beautiful group of people this is. Gosh, the view behind them is spectacular. This food is amazing. The chef is amazing. What is this plate? What is this made of? Did you see the glassware? What is this glassware? Gosh, this fork is like dreamy. This waiter is out of this world. Have you noticed the service here? That was so funny what you just said. That really touched my heart. What you just said, I am so much more in the world around me when I'm not constantly having to measure whether I belong in it or not.

And so it's a luxury to have a person with you that can see you. It's not a deserving thing. So many people on this planet are like, I don't nobody sees me. It's like, yes, you choose people who are so worried that they don't fit in, that they don't see anything else but themselves, and then you make it about you. How? If you want the world to see you, then you've got to surround yourself with people who are not trapped in self-obsession. You have to be surrounded with people who are accepting of their belonging and already looking at the outside world with a different eye. Only then can they see you without feeling like they took they took the ball off their own deserving for a second.

This is what people do. It's like having a toddler, you know, like I'm I'm I'm a toddler. I don't know if I'm up to no good. I don't trust myself whatsoever. So, no matter what's happening, it's like, gosh, that's so beautiful. Oh gosh, do I have something in my teeth? Okay, no, I'm good. Sorry. Keep going. Uh, yes. Oh gosh, I love everything you're saying. Oh gosh, do I belong here? Oh, wait. Okay, no, I'm good. I'm good. Sorry. Sorry. What were you saying? The food. Yeah, the food. Food is so good. Oh gosh, did I eat too fast? Did I eat weird? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm It's like I I'm so obsessed with my behavior, with my belonging, with my everything, whether I'm good enough, whether I that I'm not even here. And most of us are literally surrounding ourselves with self-obsessed people, same as us, and then making it their fault when they don't see us. It's like they are also tending to a small toddler they're afraid just wolf down their food too fast has something in their teeth didn't put their dress down properly and has their dress tucked into their panties at the back like all the self-conscious things you fear this is the toddler behavior that we have this like self did I eat too much did I say too much did I move too fast did I cut that person off should I not have said that am I being rude and am I being this and then I'm sitting here going I don't think anyone sees me. Did anyone notice the funny joke I just said? Did anyone notice my outfit or my hair or the fact that I've done this or done that? Or it's like you would need to have very aware people that are totally chill with their own belonging in order to have people just be with you and notice what you're doing.

So when we have people that are so chill and they see us, they're able to sit with us without being in their own mind. That's a luxury. We want to go around the world going, I deserve. I deserve people to see me. I deserve people to like me. I deserve people to notice me. Meanwhile, I've noticed nothing because I'm completely self-obsessed with everything I've done and I'm afraid I've done it all wrong. It's a luxury to be able to sit with someone who's just grateful to be there, who loves what they see, who loves how they feel, who loves everything, who's just in the energy of it. Gosh, that is a luxury. And it is rare. Imagine when you are that person. It's a luxury to be my friend. It's a luxury to be my partner. It's a luxury to be my client. It's a luxury to be my dot dot dot. And when I'm able to go to places that get this, it's a luxury to be their client. It's a luxury to be their friend. It's a luxury to be their partner. It's a luxury to be their dot dot dot. But if I take this for granted, then I stop being an energetic match for it pretty quickly because this is rare and it is unique. And if people don't notice it, stops being magical. It's like, what's the point of having a view like this if I can't see it? If I don't notice it, if I don't, every moment my eyes cross it, go, "Oh my gosh, this view. What's the point of having it?"

And the fact is, there isn't a point for everyone to have a view like this. They would choose something different. They would say, "I would never pay for that." Like, good, good, good awareness. Why waste it? But there are things that you are wanting to create in your life and people tell you, "I would never pay for that." And it hurts you when they say that because you imagine that there's something not right with you or undeserving about you instead of realizing you're a luxury they don't understand. When you see yourself like a luxury that only a few people understand, you stop caring so much about the people who don't get it. I would never pay for that. Brilliant awareness. Good for you. I would never spend my time doing that. Good for you. It's really good for you to know that I do not convince people that what I do is good. I'm here to serve the people who already know that this is something they care about at a heightened level. If you don't get it, I'm not going to explain it to you. But when you're ready for it, I'll be here. If you don't want it, I am not going to push you to take it. But once you want it, I'll be here for you. And it doesn't matter that you don't want it because there's only a limited supply anyway really. I'm not really speaking to the people who don't want it. They can come if they want, but it would be an odd thing for them to come and listen to something they don't want. I'm speaking to the people who get it, so I don't need to explain.

Now, I've modeled something over the years that's different because I very quickly understood this frequency. At first, I got it energetically, then I got it monetarily, and I got it and it changed my life. The first frequency I got was I realized that having someone talk to you or talk to me in this way is a luxury because most people don't have the bandwidth to talk this way. They have their own things to talk about. They've got things going on in their own life. They've got a job to do and then they want to spend time with their family, their friends. They want to relax. Like people don't just talk like this just because that doesn't doesn't exist. As soon as I found personal development and not the kind of personal development that talked to me like something was wrong, the personal development that talked to me like I could have anything. I realized the privilege it was to find something like that. Like who else was going to talk to me about this stuff? Because I do not come from money. So, who's going to talk to me about money in this frequency if I don't come from it? And and it very well could be that someone that makes so much money just says, "Well, you know, figure it out. That's what I did." So, why are people willing to do this? And why are they willing to do this when so many people are such jerks about it? Making them feel bad for doing it. Making them feel guilty for doing it. Making them feel guilty that this is their job. It's like, I'll pay you thousands of dollars to pull a tooth out of my face and give me a root canal, but the minute you ask me for a few thousand dollars to teach me about money that I cannot learn in school or anywhere else and treat me like a grown-up about money and treat me with respect and treat me in all the ways that I can't get anywhere, I'm mad at you. What's going on? It's like, well, what do we value?

So, as I started really valuing it, I started finding more people who valued it. And people were like, I don't know anybody who gets mad at people who sell this stuff. And I I got into a whole other world. A world where people are like, "Thank God you exist." Because my entire understanding of money started when I met you. My family doesn't come from money. I never had a successful friend in my entire life. I didn't go to school that would teach this. I didn't go anywhere that would teach this. My entire understanding of money had nothing to do with this until I found you. So, thank you for existing and making it available for this to be something that I purchase. And my eyes started to open like, "Oh my gosh, some people love this stuff. Some people are totally willing to invest in this stuff, not because something is wrong." All of a sudden, the kind of clients that I started attracting very different people. This is like, no, I'm I love my business and I love what I'm doing, but I want to hear more about this. I love the way you talk about this. I would get messages like, you know, I watched one of your live streams and made $50,000 in a day after I watched it. And I was like, I think I'm talking to the wrong people here. You made $50,000 in a day after you watched one of my live streams. was like, "Yeah, because you said this, this, this." So, I applied it. I made $50,000 $50,000.

I started realizing people who understand the basics, who are not worried about how do I get people to buy from me? How what's the strategy to get this and how do I make people do that? Like, when you when you've transcended that, what you actually care about is how do I make this the greatest experience? It's not about making a lot of money. It's about creating something I'm proud of for the rest of my life that makes an impact on this world. So, it's more about longevity. It's more about people choosing this long term over and over and over again. And I even started realizing for my brand like what do I really want? Who do who do I want to be the buyers of my brand? And I I thought about myself as a buyer and I was like, you know, I never feel obliged to buy anywhere. And I have brands that I know I would probably always buy from as long as they're they keep doing what they're doing. But I don't feel pressure like I need to buy. But I want to buy. I like it. I like being one of the best clients of a brand like that. I love I love the connection. I love representing something and getting the culture of that brand. I I love being in the know of what's new and what's recent. I love knowing I love being a part of it. I I love having from this collection and that collection and this collection. I I like that feeling. And I thought to myself, what is it that makes me buy this way? And I realized I never feel a strategy. For me, if I feel a strategy, something happens to me. It puts me in my head instead of in my feelings. And I realize I love this like seamless I bought this because I wanted to kind of feeling.

So, all the brands that I'm really drawn to have something in common. They care about long-term, like having a client forever and making sure that it's always something that I would choose to go back to. There's absolutely nothing to do with me needing it. There's absolutely nothing to do with me feeling like if I don't have it, I don't belong. It's literally just impossible for me to even consider that in any of these brands. Yet, I've seen people feel that way about those brands. That also made me think, what about the people who are like, "Oh, there's another collection. There's always something else to buy, like the new season, the new collection, the new thing. It's always new." And they see that as a negative thing. I always have to buy. That's so interesting. How can we both be shopping at the same place and have two very different experiences? And I realized a lot of people buy in order to belong. I want to buy this so that I'm a good client of this place. I want to buy this so that I have this brand. I want to buy this so that I have this. I want to buy this so that I have that. Instead of this is me. This is so me. This moment, this service, the look and feel of this thing, this thing that I desire, whether it's a car, a house, a trip, a purse, a watch, it doesn't really matter. But it's like, if I'm trying to keep up with the Joneses and that's why I'm buying this, I'll never belong because the Joneses buy a lot and they buy every season and they buy all the time. I'm not buying to keep up with the Joneses. I buy up I buy because I am the Joneses. It's I'm the only one to keep up with. There is no there is no comparison. I'm free. It's my life. I buy based on a frequency of it's a luxury to have me as a client. It's not I need to buy this in order to prove that I'm worthy. That doesn't exist.

And so in really looking, I've realized that my job in this world is actually more than I thought it was. Because I don't know if you guys relate to this, but like most of us did not come from this background. A lot of my clients either come from they had a lot of money, but the money was supposed to stay in stocks, stay in the bank, create more money. We don't spend the money, we have the money. Money equals power. Money doesn't equal beauty or luxury or you know whatever frivolous things. Money equals power. And every time you spend a dollar, your power goes down. So we don't spend the money. We hoard the money. Money equals power. Or people come from like money what? Like I wouldn't my biggest struggle was could we have the milk and the bread? So the thought of a Louis Vuitton purse just never really came into the conversation. A lot of people that I work with are self-made. You know, it's like I had what I've always had what I needed. But the thought of people who who could have everything they've ever wanted, those people were foreign to us and they felt frivolous to us. And maybe my parents used them as examples of what not to do because thank goodness we had a little less cuz it made us more grateful cuz those people look how they spend. Look how silly they are with their money and look what they do. So there was definitely a judgment of spending freely for example. But what we weren't really taught was luxury. What does it really mean to to go to a place that was that's a work of art? That's like someone's dream. The hotel that is someone dreamed to build a hotel in that location because of the view and the materials are their dream materials and it's their dream designer that designed it and it's their favorite artist on the wall and each glass is hand blown by a special artist and even the cutlery is handmade and the linens are special and the soap is special. Every single little thing in the whole thing is thought through. Not because like this is what's the least expensive, it's because this is what's the most meaningful and it's meant to attract the buyers who would notice everything. It's not meant to attract the people who want to go somewhere and spend the least amount as possible. It's meant to attract the people who notice everything. Oh my gosh, did you see this? Have you seen this? Oh my gosh, look at this. Oh my gosh, look at this. Oh my gosh, look at this. We weren't really taught how to be in those environments. As a matter of fact, for a lot of us, we were taught that those things were not necessary in order for us to not get caught up in our self-worth being less than because we couldn't have it all the time. But we were never supposed to have those things all the time.

When I come, can you imagine how sad it would be for me to come to a place like this and take it for granted cuz I just can't see it anymore? You're not supposed to have it all the time. It's supposed to feel like every time, oh my gosh, look at the colors. Look at the Look at the Look at the Look look look at the thing. Look Look how beautiful. That's what it's supposed to feel like. So, anyone who thinks I should have luxury all the time is trying to do the deserving thing with luxury. I deserve to have luxury all the time. No, you don't. No one even deserves luxury. You You deserve to get to play the game. You deserve to get to have it when you like to to go and work for it and receive it. you you deserve to earn what you desire to be able to do it. Like I don't know if you if you see the difference in this like and I I want to tell you this this really I think this is a really beautiful imagery for it. I was at the airport and there's this service at the airport that I got where they help you get through security a lot faster. I couldn't believe it how fast I got through. This woman grabbed my bags. I wasn't even carrying my own bags. And I said to her, "How am I ever going to travel through an airport without you ever again?" And she said, "You deserve it." And my whole body rejected that, but not in a way like I don't deserve it. What I said to her was, "I don't think anyone deserves this. I'm just really grateful I can afford it." And she looked at me like maybe I was made of magic because h nobody deserves this instead of everybody deserves this because how could everybody deserve this? If everybody deserves this, then everybody does it. And if everybody can do it, then we're back to square one. What's the point? The whole thing that makes it a luxury is that there's a normal timeline to do things on or you pay for the timeline to be shortened. I know how long it takes to go through an airport. I've done that many times. Now I have this luxurious experience where I get to go through it like a fart in the wind. This is fantastic. This is amazing. But I measure it against the times I've stood in line for hours and hours and hours sweating with my purse falling off my rolly bag, wishing I had packed differently. I I know this. I know this. And I know this. This is so luxurious. This is phenomenal. Oh, you deserve to just cut in front in line in front of everybody. Why? Why do I deserve to cut first in line in front of everybody? Because I've paid for it. Don't know if it works that way. I get to You get to cut in line in front of everybody. Why? Because you bought it. I don't deserve it. Nobody deserves it. But I get to and I'm so grateful that I could afford it. That is such a different frequency. The minute you think you deserve it, you're probably a jerk. Move. I paid for this. I deserve it. We don't deserve it. That's why it's so freaking cool. Why? Why is this happening to me? Because you deserve it. No, I don't. I do not deserve to cut in line in front of everybody. I do not deserve the room upgrade that put that catapults me 10 categories. I don't deserve to to book something for one special night and for the the manager of the hotel to say we've just upgraded you to that the whole stay. I don't deserve that. I don't deserve the champagne at the front door for no reason that I didn't buy. I don't deserve it. That's not how it works. I don't deserve this view. I don't deserve this. I received it and I'm in awe of it and I'm grateful for it and I'm certain to be one of the greatest people it could happen to for me, for whoever chose me. I'm gracious with having it so that when I am cutting in line in front of everybody, I'm not walking past them like I'm grateful. There's no guilt because I don't think I deserve it. I'm just grateful. But even though I don't deserve it, this is happening to me. Like this is amazing. Why is this happening to me? And not in a self-deprecating way. Why is this happening to me? I don't understand. No, it's like yay. I don't know how, but like yay. That's the energy. And it's like we're working so hard. I need to deserve making the money. No, you don't. You'll never deserve making more money than everybody else. That's not how it's going to happen. You're going to it's going to happen because you made it happen because you believed because you you you did something incredible for the world because you went all in and when good things happened, you didn't just immediately try to figure out how to do it again. You didn't just immediately try to say, "Well, how do I get more?" Or, "How do I make sure I always have this?" Or, "How do I figure out how I like I don't feel like I deserve this? How do I how do I feel like I deserve this?" Don't waste your time doing that. Just be grateful. Don't waste your time trying to figure out how to deserve this so that you can have it forever. That's not how this works. Have it today, right now. Even if it's the only time you ever have it in your life. Even if it were the first, the last, and the only time you ever had this moment ever, just have it.

5 years ago on the 30th of September, my company crossed a million dollars cash received in a month for the first time. And it made no sense when it happened. I didn't deserve it more than my clients did. I didn't deserve it more than my parents did. I didn't deserve it more than anyone struggling to pay their bills did. But it happened. I put my heart and soul into what I was doing. I was having the time of my life. Every client that came in, I felt grateful. Everything that happened to me, I felt like, oh my gosh, this is incredible. It did not feel like this was something I needed to be able to do forever. It felt like it could be a party trick I told for the rest of my life. It was like, I have had a million-dollar month. Who the heck in the history of the world ever does that? Who am I? How is this possible? Thank you. I was not sophisticated with my thing. I did not launch a master class on how to make a million dollars. I threw a party with a bunch of balloons and sang if I had a million dollars. While drinking Delho out the bottleneck with me, my sister, and Kevin in the middle of the island I had bought. I had bought this island with a house on it that had no furniture on it yet. Kevin and I were sleeping on a mattress in the middle of the living room and we were literally having a dance party in the middle of the living room drinking dope the bottleneck singing If I had a million dollars. That's how I celebrated that because I didn't think it was gonna happen again. I was not telling people here's how to have a million dollar month because do you know the real truth? I had no freaking clue how the heck that happened.

What I started trying to explain to people is listen to me. You're going to wonder how to do it till you wonder how you did it. You have to stop trying to strategize this and you've got to just go like go go do the thing you dream of. Go serve people the way you want to serve them. Go do the thing that's crazy that no one believes in. Stop trying to figure out how to deserve it. You don't. I still don't. This is nuts. But then we'll party fuel the jet. Like this is nuts. But it exists. But let's do it. And people tried to find the strategy. It's because she's doing this. It's because she's doing this. It's because she's doing this. Gosh, how do you speak to people's spirit? How do you awaken the part inside that hears what I'm saying instead of hearing what they think I'm saying? Oh, she's saying that, but what she really means is that no, I'm saying what I mean. You're going to wonder how to do it till you wonder how you did it. And I'm telling you, I have celebrated the wildest things with my clients. I've got clients celebrating $30 million since they started working with me, $25 million since they started working with me. $10 million since they started working with me, hitting million-doll months now. And most of them, at least the first time they hit it to me, said, "I just don't even understand how this happened. How did this even happen?" I mean, I know how it happened. I I worked and I showed up. But like and what I got from their energy is I worked hard, but do I really deserve a million dollars for how hard I worked? I worked a lot of hours and I work a million dollars worth of hours. Like, was it really a deserving thing? What happened? Why did all of a sudden the same kind of work produce a million dollars? What happened?

This is the luxury frequency. And what happens is that you realize that you are a luxury. This is an incredibly different experience than you are trying to deserve. You are trying to figure out why are you a luxury? Because you're the only version of you that there ever was and there ever will be for the rest of time. Because every single thing that you have learned and that you have grown and that you have led yourself through has literally changed you. In which case you hold a code that maybe no one else in the world has your rare unique limited edition. And if you actually could, God, if I if I could give you everything I want to give you and you could somehow receive it, all of it, you'd be able to sit anywhere you are and just receive the world. Whether it came in money, relationships, views, gifts, upgrades, you'd just be like, "How am I doing this?" It's not that we deserve it, it's that we don't not. Like what have you done that's so bad that you wouldn't deserve the world to work for you the way it was designed?

And I I read one of your comments that really stuck with me. Someone said here, you know, the sentence, it's better to give than to receive. And I think that's one of the worst like most misunderstood quotes in the Bible. It does not say that. It says it doesn't say it's better to give than to receive. It says it is better to be in a position to give than to be in a position where you need to receive. What does that mean? It's better to have it all so that when people need it, you can give it to them than to have nothing so that when people need something, you can give them nothing and instead you need them to give to you. It's not better to give than to receive because it can't be. Or else who do you give to? It's better to be in a position that you can give. Of course, we always receive. In order to be in a position where you can give, you have been an extraordinary receiver. You cannot be in a position to give if you haven't been an extraordinary receiver. How would you have the things that you're meant to give? So, I believe money in my hands is good for the world because it puts me in a position where I'm always able to give. But I'm also an excellent receiver. An excellent receiver of beauty. Of relationships, of wisdom, of wealth, of upgrades, of whatever it is that the world wants to give me. But then when it get when I receive it, I don't say, "But do I deserve it?" No, of course I don't. Nobody deserves this. This is nuts. But if it's going to go to someone, then shouldn't it go to someone who doesn't have the ego to think they deserve it? Shouldn't it go to someone who's grateful every time it lands and says, "This is nuts." Shouldn't it go to someone who says, "I give the glory to God. I give the glory to the universe no matter what."

Because at this point now, we've had likeund and some hund likeund I don't know 105 105 106 times a million dollars come in in the last few years. I didn't just do a million dollar month once. Although, if I would have done it once, I still would have been talking about it like it was the greatest party trick of my life. But instead, we did it again. But not because I needed it to happen to me. I didn't even think it could ever happen once. When it happened twice, I almost fell off my chair. What do you mean this happens again? I don't even know how I did it the first time. And the second time we did it, it was totally different than the first time. Then people are like, "How did you do it?" I'm like, "Which time?" Like, "What do you mean? What's the strategy?" I mean, I can maybe look back in hindsight and tell you exactly how all the payments came through. No, but how did you do it? Oh, you're going to wonder how to do it till you wonder how you did it. You don't want to tell us. No, it's not that. It's that if if you start doing what I did to try to get what I have, it's not pure. I didn't make a million dollars a month trying to make a million dollars a month. I made a million dollars a month trying to make an extraordinary company, wanting to make a movement on the planet, wanting to serve people at a higher level, standing for something bigger than me, being braver than I'd ever been, being more grateful for everything that came through than ever before, being more forgiving than I'd ever been, being more in faith than I'd ever been, and more than I ever could have ever ever ever dreamed of came in. But that's luxury. I don't deserve what I have. That's not what how it works. But if it's going to happen to someone, I'll make sure I'm the greatest person it could have ever happened to in my gratitude, in my attitude about it, in my care for people, in my relationship with the people it happens with. Like, I'll learn. And that's where I really want you to feel in this in this master class. What I really learned to be is an extraordinary receiver of luxury things. So that people who understood luxury, who couldn't have dreamed for a better person to give to found me. When you really know how to feel things, you can't fake this, by the way. People can tell. When you can actually feel gratitude on this level, it's a different gratitude. Deserving gratitude like I'm so grateful for my health. I'm so grateful for my family. I'm so grateful for my life. I'm so grateful for love. I'm so grateful for my family. That is a that is a kind of gratitude. But I am so grateful for this nutsballs thing that I definitely don't deserve that I cannot believe just happened to me. I am so grateful for you, wild artist, creator, person who just invented this wild thing that is literally the most beautiful, exquisite, delicious, fantastic thing I've ever seen in my whole life. I am so grateful for mother nature, God, the universe that aligned me as the receiver of this out of thisorld nuts thing that I never would have been able to afford ever in my life that I never should be even connected to these people, these places, these opportunities. How on earth did that happen? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What on earth? How on earth? That's a different thank you. But we're trying to feel like we need to be saying these same thank yous that are for the deserving things as we do for the luxury things. And they're not the same frequency of thank you. One is a deep emotional nostalgic reverence. The other one's a party thrown in the name of gratitude. It's nuts. It's don't hang out the bottlenecks singing If I had a million dollars. It's not the same as falling to your knees in tears of joy. I don't fall to my knees in tears of joy for a million dollars a month because I would be okay without it. But when someone I love gets the diagnosis that they're okay, I fall to my knees in gratitude that they're okay because I don't know that I would have ever been the same again if they weren't. It's not the same gratitude. It's not the same deserving. It's not the same. And nothing is the same. But we try to make it the same. You're journaling. I am worthy of a million dollars. It's not like that. Like, of course, I'm worthy of a million dollars. Pour me champagne. Bring it to me now. It's so much lighter. I love it. Let's do it. I'm in. This is why. And this is this gets so misunderstood, but and and look, I want to be really honest with you. Everything in this world can be misunderstood. Everything. Everything. Even love can be misunderstood. So it's not shocking that people could misunderstand what I'm saying now. Spin it, use it to manipulate. But if you have discernment, because luxury and discernment go hand in hand. If you can tell the difference between the sophisticated edge of luxury and the smoke show. If you can refine your senses, this is what luxury is all about. Restraint, refinement, discernment. It's not just this big loud thing all the time. Sometimes you've got to like, is it really what this is? Like let's have a look at the detail. If you can go into this frequency more in your life, not because there's something wrong with you, because what

A life to go into the refinement of luxury. You'll see that two sentences can be said, and one would be in luxury, and one would not. In the same way, I can make a Louis Vuitton that looks exactly like a replica of the real one. And you, if you can tell, you can tell.

I could not have told you the difference between a diamond and a zirconium 15 years ago. I would have said they look the same. Now I can tell you the difference between a diamond and a lab-grown diamond like that. It's like you eventually understand the frequency. You can just feel it. It's like that versus that.

I always pick the most expensive thing. Even when we're doing home renovations, you know, I'll go and I'll be like, "Okay, that's the one I want. That's the material." They're like, "Okay, well that's 10 times more expensive than the other option." I'm like, "Of course it is. I can see it immediately. I never could have before." I wouldn't have even been able to tell you if one was real and one was plastic. Like, you could have shown me fake plastic linoleum, or you could have shown me like the most expensive wood in the world, and I couldn't have told you the difference. Now, I can tell you the difference between the most expensive wood and the second most expensive wood. Like, my energy has trained it. It's not even my eye. I'm just like, "That's the one I want." They're like, "Of course it is. It's expensive." It's an energy. You're just drawn to it. You feel it.

So, on the frequency of luxury, people buy differently. They buy differently because they're not buying to try to belong. They're not buying to try to prove something. They're not buying to try to save money. They're not buying because it's a good idea. They're not buying because it's a smart idea. They're not buying because it's a logical idea. They're not buying because this is going to do something for them. They're not buying transactionally. They're not buying. They're not buying like that. They're buying in the same way they receive.

So, if you can imagine, you don't say, "You know what, do we really deserve the most expensive champagne?" Nobody deserves the most expensive champagne. But do we want it? But it's nuts. I know, but it feels like a nuts kind of night. I will never forget tonight. This is insane. I'm doing it. That's how you buy the most expensive bottle of champagne. There's no other way to buy it. If you're actually going to enjoy it and remember it forever, you buy it on the night. It makes no sense. You buy it because it's like, "We're doing it. Hold me the glass. It's nuts. It's I'm free. It's it's crazy. It makes no sense." That's how you do it.

So when you're buying things that are on the frequency of "I need this," "I deserve this," "I must have this," "This is better for me." Yes, you think about it. Is this logical? Is this going to work? Do I deserve this? This is all the frequency. And this is why all here, you need strategy. You need strategy to help people feel like they deserve it. You need strategy to help people feel like they need it. You need a strategy to make people feel. But there is no strategy in luxury. You can't. The minute there's a strategy, I feel manipulated. If you need to tell me that I need this, then I'm not the right buyer. If you need to tell me that this is better, then it's not because I should have been able to feel that. The minute you're trying to do something, then you don't believe this is a luxury that people would buy on their own. You think it needs to be explained. And this is so hard to explain. But what's even more hard to explain, or what's even more hard, is to get on that frequency without ever talking about it. Like, how do you even know this exists if you haven't talked about it?

So, you're going to realize, like, you walk into a store and they show you a $10,000 ring, and you look at this ring and you're like, "It's $10,000 this ring." And they're like, "Yes, but this is made out of the highest grade platinum, and this diamond is very rare. And if you buy this, you'll be one of the only people in your circle that has it. And it'll last you a really long time. The price of platinum is growing daily, and diamonds are increasing in value, and this is really worth it." Is that how they're going to sell it to you? No. As a matter of fact, what they probably feel is, "Buy it or don't buy it because it'll sell by the end of the week because that's a very rare diamond, and people who can recognize its value don't think about it. People who understand its value and have the money don't think about it. They just buy it." So, you can think about it. You're allowed. I'm not attached. It's going to sell either way. Can you feel the energy there?

So when you're creating things in your business, in your life, that are like, "Whether you're the one who buys this or not, it's going to sell because it's luxurious, and people who see the value would buy this without a question." When you walk around that way, you sell. And the thing is, in life, everything is a sale. Everything's a sale. Everyone is buying everything, but they're buying it not always with their mind, not always with a strategy, not always with a, "Oh, this is logical." They're buying it with a frequency. They're buying it with a "yes" that's unspoken. They're buying it with their time. They're buying it. They're buying it.

When you go on a date with someone and they're like, "Whoa, I just saw the value of this person in my life. Like, I see how I feel when I'm with this person. This is a one-of-a-kind person." You don't need to sell yourself. They got it. They saw it. But when you're like, "I'm a very rare breed, and I'm independent, and I'm not jealous about anything. Tell me about your ex so I can tear them apart and say I would never do that." And oh yes, let's talk about these conversations about how brave and wild we are and adventurous, and let me like sell myself the best I possibly can, and let me do this as this on the first date because I'm afraid you won't choose me. And don't worry, we can go Dutch on the bill. And don't worry, we can do this. And don't worry, I can discount this date so far it's worth your time. There's always a sale being made. And when you know this is selling either way, you're so different.

Here's the thing. Everyone that created something great in this world wants someone to experience it. Whether it's the multi-million dollar ring, whether it's the pristine house, whether it's the car, whether it's the room with the view, whether it's the one-of-a-kind gown, whether it's the book you wrote, the movie you produced. Every single thing anyone has ever made, it's been made for someone to enjoy. And ideally, the person that enjoys it is the ideal person. Because the last thing you want is to create a room like this, and the person that stays in it is like, "I've seen more impressive." The last thing you want is for the person that reads your book to say, "I've read books before." The last thing you want is for the person who gets their hair done by you to say, "It's just a hairstyle. Could have done the same myself." My apologies. Last thing you want is for someone to see the diamond and say, "Looks the same as a lab-grown diamond to me. I can't tell the difference." The last thing you want when you make your most beautiful thing is for someone to say, "I could have been anything."

Yet, you're willing to put yourself energetically in situations where you accept that all the time. "I hope they like the book." What do you mean? Who? You hope who likes the book? Everybody. Oh, that's not going to go very well. "I hope they appreciate the view." You hope they appreciate the view. Who are we talking about here? Everybody. Oh, I hope they love the Michelin star meal that I've that's award-winning that I just cooked. You hope who? Everybody. Oh, this is the problem. Every single thing that you have made, you've made for a specific kind of person. And yet you try to sell it to everyone, hoping you'll get the frequency that you put out in the world. That doesn't exist.

Imagine if I said, "Oh my gosh, I hope they really get it. I really hope they understand that they are a luxury. That I'm a freaking luxury. That this master class was a luxury. I hope they go on to be everything they were supposed to be in this lifetime because they're free from the constant judgment of themselves forever." You hope they get that. You gave it to them for free, and you hope they get that. Well, yeah. Who? Who aren't you sure will get that? Well, everybody. Oh, yeah. For sure. No, not everybody's going to get it. But when I say, "I know that I spoke this, and those of you that were supposed to get it got it or are getting it because this is only day two." I know that. I'm not speaking to the people who aren't ready yet because I know you, it's possible you might watch this and be like, "Man, that was crap." Like, that's very possible, but that's just not who this is for right now. It's like, that's okay.

I've had people say that at a restaurant. I was literally melting my face off eating a dish like, "This is the most balanced, delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life." And the table next to me in New York said, "I don't see what all the fuss is about." I was like, "You weren't prepared for this dish. Your palate was not prepared for this dish." But also, how rude, how not self-aware do you need to be to not say, "You know what? My palate isn't sophisticated enough to enjoy the difference that this is." People who have a bottle of wine that's worth $1,000. You share a glass with them and they say, "I can't tell the difference between a cheap bottle." Why would you say that? If you're going to say something, say, "You know what? My palate isn't developed enough with wine. I'm not there yet to feel the difference." Don't say it tastes the same. Go to an art gallery where these paintings are worth tens of thousands of dollars from artists that have passed and say, "I could have painted that myself." Can you not have the class to say, "My eye isn't trained for art enough to understand these paintings, but I'd love to learn." We're not top manners, and then we don't have them. And then there are luxuries that we create for the world, and we want the world to see us, and they don't see them, and we're offended, and we think it's because we're not good enough, instead of understanding that we're attracting people that don't have manners because we don't have manners.

In becoming alpha, you know what the biggest thing is that's changed about me? I care about other people's luxuries. There is nothing that I say I don't like that. I don't care about that. I don't know anything about that. I listen to everything. I listen to everything. Whether I'm meeting new friends that own a winery and they're explaining to me the whole process of their winery, or whether I have friends that own a ranch in Montana and they're explaining to me about their bar and the kinds of things that happen there, and I'm listening to how it works. And whether I have I'm meeting people talking to me about golf that I've never played golf in my life, and I'm listening like, "Okay, okay." and listening to the terms. And it's like, "This is what this is what matters to them. Okay, cool." Whether I'm listening to someone talk about whiskey, which I don't really particularly understand whiskey, but like being brought to a whiskey tasting place and explaining that a drop of water could change everything. It's like I just listen. I've learned about fashion. I've learned about literature. I've learned about language. I've learned about construction. I've learned about sports. I've learned about music. I've learned about I've learned to have a sophisticated palate about things I couldn't taste. And I mean that metaphorically as much as I do literally. Everything I didn't understand, I said, "I'm listening." Instead of, "You've lost me." The luxury of learning, the luxury of being surrounded by people who want to talk to me about something while they're passionate about it. You want to learn something in life, learn from something. Learn from someone who's passionate to tell you about it. Tell me about this wine. Tell me about this preparation of food. Tell me about this instrument. Tell me about that artist. Tell me about this technique. Tell me about this material. Tell me. I have listened to people talk to me about things I never in the world would have thought I would know about. Laws, certain laws that apply to lawyers and dentists and doctors that I had no reason to know. But now I know all about them. And I could be across the dinner. I've had opportunities to be seated like this is the thing, then you manifest the craziest things because you're a match. Like, I remember when Kevin and I manifested to be flown out to Mexico City for a Cartier event. It was like they could choose any of their clients. It was not a buyer event or anything like that. It was in Mexico City. It was a whole museum of like all the years of Cartier. Being able to just walk through and see all these collector's pieces, and it was this rooftop party with all the people in uniform, like pageboy uniform, all dressed in red with the Cartier hats, and like the string quartet, and the champagne bottles, and everything. I'm like, I thought I was in a movie. I felt I felt like I was in a movie.

But that night, I sat at this really long table surrounded by all kinds of people from all over the world. And they talked to me about all kinds of things. And I had there was a dentist at the table. And it was so crazy to have them talk to me about things. And I knew what they were talking about. And I was listening to the conversation. And then there was a lawyer, and I knew some of the terms they were talking about because I'd had clients like this. And I'd had clients like this. And then also the people in fashion, and also the people that were all about the jewels, and also all the people, and the people who spoke French, the people who spoke English, and the people who spoke Spanish. At the end of the night, there was one question after I had listened to everyone with passion and care and a slight amount of knowledge but also full curiosity: "Who are you? How do you know so much about all of this?" But it wasn't the first question I got of the night. It was the last. After I had learned more about everyone else, after I had left more empowered, more wise, more intelligent, more connected, more receiving of invitations of connections of of of information. At the end, they wanted to know who am I? The person who could hold a conversation with all these different people. I got far more than I gave at that table.

Most people would sit at that table and think, "How do I belong? There's a doctor. I'm not I don't I won't even have a high school education. I'm sitting next to a doctor, a dentist, a lawyer, a fashionista. These people seem like they are billionaires. Like, what am I doing at this table? I don't belong here. Why am I here? This is nuts. Do I even deserve this? No, I don't. No, I don't. So, how incredible is it that I'm here? And at the same time, they deserve me to be the best client at this table. And I would be the one that makes everyone else feel seen. The one that cares about what everybody else is doing, the one who can hold the conversation, the one who inspires, the one who ends up giving marriage advice, the one who ends up giving everything that everybody wants. And I am that person. So, do I belong? Of course I do. But in the way that I thought I did, no. Do I deserve it? Nobody deserves it. But did everyone at that table deserve me to be sitting there? Yes. And did I deserve the respect of every single person there? Yes. Yes. And I did I deserve to learn and to receive the passion, the connection. Yes. Yes. Human to human. I deserved all the human stuff that arrived that happened that night. That's what it's all about. It's so much bigger, but so much simpler than the way you've been making it.

And this is the thing. The invitations just happen. "Next time you're here, please let us know. We'll put you up." "Next time you're in town, oh, you do that. I'd love to collaborate." "I'd love to hear for you to come to this." "I'd love for you to come that." "Would you speak at this?" "Would you do this?" "Would you do this?" "Would you do this?" "Would you do this?" Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Do I deserve it?

In the same way I deserve air? No. In the way where this will be a for me, for you, for us thing where I'm grateful every day, where I recognize my opportunity, where I'm honored to know these people, where I'll treat them the way that I would treat people I love. Yes. Oh, then yes, I do deserve it. It's a different thing.

So why I want you to contemplate this now is because I want you to look in your life, the transactions you have made from a far lesser frequency than you could have made them. Just notice how often you've bought things because, "Do I really need this? What if it doesn't work? What if I should, should I?" Like, you've put things that are luxury things on that frequency, and they didn't work. Where have you said, "Well, you know, if if I deserve love, then this relationship should work out." Like, where have you put deserving and romance in the same place? "I deserve for this person to run after me. I deserve for this person to do everything for me." Hang on. Where have you put luxury and deserving on the same playing field, and the whole thing collapsed? And where have you been trying to sell deserving to people? "You should buy this. You deserve it. You need it." Where do you have? Maybe you do have something that the world needs, but you also have a luxury division. You also have a luxury section to what you offer. It's like, there's the thing the world needs. Then there's the thing that's like, and then I've created this that's like, "Nuts. People would have to buy it not because they deserve it, but because they're like, 'I'm in. Send me the link.'" And how could you ever touch them if you don't know that frequency?

I just want you to think about it. If the minute you go into, "There's something wrong with me," or "I did something wrong," you're digging too deep. This is way lighter than that. It should feel like a, "Oh my god," not like, "Oh no." "Oh my god." It's, "I chipped a nail," not, "I broke my femur." This is way lighter energetically. You cannot go into the depths of your despair. If you find one of these things, it's got to be like, "I just had this manicure done yesterday." Like, it has to be that. It's frustrating. It's annoying. The time I've wasted. If you go deeper than that, you've gone into deserving. I'm going to help you be lighter about your problem-solving, and a lot richer while you solve your problems. And I'm excited for tomorrow. Have fun doing this. Be chill. You deserve the seat you're sitting in at every table. You deserve. And also, if it's a really epic seat, you don't deserve it at all. And it's amazing that you're there. So, smile because what the heck are you doing there? It's both. That's what makes this whole thing so exciting. You'll be happy to be alive, and also mind-blown that you get to have some of the things that you have because how did this happen? Go have both at the same time. See how it changes your day. And I'm very excited to put the cherry on top this Sunday tomorrow.

Oh yes, the draw. Okay, AlphaFam team, we need two winners for today. Let's give me two winners for today. Drum roll. So, two people will be manifesting $2K in all the box. And the winners are Victoria Powell. Victoria Powell, congratulations. Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. This is wonderful. And our second winner, our second winner is Molina Moreno. Molina Moreno, congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. I'm very grateful for all of you. We're having the time of our lives. I'm also loving giving things away at the end of these calls. So, there will probably be another one tomorrow. There will be another one tomorrow. I'll show you I'll tell you what to do for tomorrow's. Thank you for being here. I love you. I love I love that you're here. I feel like a lot of you are getting this. I can feel it in my body. There's like a lightness. It's good for the world. I'm telling you, it's good for the world. Okay, go have a party. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
