One of the best ways to learn the art of finesse in business is to first practice the art of finesse. Stay with me girls, stay with me. I think that nightlife teaches you that everything is fake and nothing is real. Everything is an illusion and everything is completely made up. The ability to think quick on your feet, especially when you're a girl that wants to spend zero dollars and have an amazing night. It is a true Olympic sport and when you place even just when I tell you that translates perfectly into into the world. Your ability to just think on your feet and just be making sh*t up as you go. My homegirl and I pulled up to this club that the entry fee was 500, 700 euros and tables were going for like 30, 50,000 euros. I'm not making this up, okay? We had no ticket, we didn't know anybody and we were going to get in and have a great time because in New York, we don't pay even $20 to get into club. This is not about money, this is principle. And simply just understanding that as a pretty girl and as someone who can finesse your way into anything, if you do things right, you never have to pay. It's just like it's it's not I know people are gonna be like, Oh my God, like, you don't have money, just pay $20. It's the principle. First of all, we arrive. Everyone is at the front. It's like a whole bunch of people. They were very disorganized for a club that honestly is really quite expensive to get into. I overhear a guy who does have a table, say his name and I clock that. I clock that name. We finally get in. We go through this line, the girl asked, what's the name on the table? I say the guy's name, then she goes, what's the last name? Whoa! She thought she had me, she thought she had me. B*tch, I'm always 10 steps ahead. I had already looked at her iPad and ran through the list on it. And I say the last name. She goes, Oh my god, we've been expecting you. Come on in. Thank you, baby. And we spent zero dollars. All hustle, all finesse. That's just the game. So by the time you see me having all these amazing opportunities, meeting certain people, pitching myself, like posting all of these things, it is because I learned how to operate in business so successfully. Not through school, not through anything you can learn in a classroom. I first learned it through nightlife because you realize that everyone is a human. Nothing is real, everything is fake. People who are told that there are certain rules for you, there are not those certain rules do not apply to everyone else. And that's the same thing in business. Certain rules for you in business does not apply to every to other people. As long as you are able to figure out your way, you will literally just get so far. You need to go out with just being ready to just lie and just finesse and just see what lands and what sticks. And if it doesn't work, then buy a ticket and get in. Like, it's not serious. Or you just go home. But go out more and just be doing things. Just be doing things. It's like a muscle, the finesse muscle. You have to work it. You have to work the muscle.
