What's the fastest path to a $1M/year lifestyle? People always say they wanna be rich but I don't think that's actually what most people want What they really want is everything they think being rich gives them Like flying first class without thinking about the price Taking incredible vacations with your family sitting front row at their favourite sporting events and concerts buying designer bags without stressing Have a beautiful home where they can host everyone they love and have flexibility in their schedule to say yes and no to what they want And if you think about it Alix Earle has already lived this reality for several years She's spending her summers on yachts flying private and getting picked up in black cars She's sitting front row at the World Cup wearing designer and has the freedom to bring her family on incredible vacations with her treating the people she loves and saying yes to experiences that would cost most people an absolute fortune But here's the part that most people miss There are actually two ways to get that lifestyle The first is obvious you make an extraordinary amount of money then pay taxes then pay your expenses like rent and food and then use whatever is left over to buy the flights the hotels the designer bags The second is that you build enough leverage that companies and powerful people want you there And I'm actually not talking about becoming an influencer Obviously you could do that too You could be a founder or an executive or like the VP of marketing at Nike or Netflix Simply someone that is respected in your industry Your presence has value The common denominator is that you built a reputation that people wanna be associated with And honestly we've kind of reached this really interesting point where building that kind of leverage is actually a faster path to that lifestyle than earning enough after tax to personally pay retail for all those experiences I'll use myself as an example I make a lot less money than what it would currently cost to fund my lifestyle out of pocket but I'm still flying first class staying at the world's most incredible hotels and being invited to experiences that would have cost an enormous amount of money It's because of the personal brand that I've spent years building Not that it was free I paid for it with years of posting consistently when it was uncomfortable and cringe Now you might think that it's unfair not your vibe You'd rather stay private and honestly that's completely okay But it doesn't change the fact that it's objectively the faster path to the lifestyle and freedom that most people are trying to build That's exactly why next month I'm bringing 10 female leaders to my house to workshop what it actually takes to build that kind of leverage reputation and personal brand If you're curious what that actually looks like Follow along I'm gonna be sharing the entire experience here and what it actually takes to build that for yourself

One of the weirdest things I've noticed as my career has grown is that the things I thought money would eventually buy started showing up long before I had the money to pay for them. It completely changed how I think about building a career. If you had to choose, would you rather have $100,000k in the bank or $1M worth of access every year? 👀👇

What's the fastest path to a $1M/year lifestyle? Alix Earle accidentally figured out a shortcut that most multi-millionaires never will. People always say they wanna be rich but I don't think that's actually what most people want. What they really want is everything they think being rich gives them. Like flying first class without thinking about the price. Taking incredible vacations with your family. Sitting front row at their favourite sporting events and concerts. Buying designer bags without stressing. Have a beautiful home where they can host everyone they love and have flexibility in their schedule to say yes and no to what they want. And if you think about it, Alix Earle has already lived this reality for several years. She's spending her summers on yachts, flying private and getting picked up in black cars. She's sitting front row at the World Cup wearing designer and has the freedom to bring her family on incredible vacations with her, treating the people she loves and saying yes to experiences that would cost most people an absolute fortune. But here's the part that most people miss. There are actually two ways to get that lifestyle. The first is obvious you make an extraordinary amount of money then pay taxes then pay your expenses like rent and food and then use whatever is left over to buy the flights, the hotels, the designer bags. The second is that you build enough leverage that companies and powerful people want you there. And I'm actually not talking about becoming an influencer. Obviously you could do that too. You could be a founder or an executive or like the VP of marketing at Nike or Netflix. Simply someone that is respected in your industry. Your presence has value. The common denominator is that you built a reputation that people wanna be associated with. And honestly we've kind of reached this really interesting point where building that kind of leverage is actually a faster path to that lifestyle than earning enough after tax to personally pay retail for all those experiences. I'll use myself as an example. I make a lot less money than what it would currently cost to fund my lifestyle out of pocket but I'm still flying first class, staying at the world's most incredible hotels and being invited to experiences that would have cost an enormous amount of money. It's because of the personal brand that I've spent years building. Not that it was free. I paid for it with years of posting consistently when it was uncomfortable and cringe. Now you might think that it's unfair, not your vibe. You'd rather stay private and honestly that's completely okay. But it doesn't change the fact that it's objectively the faster path to the lifestyle and freedom that most people are trying to build. That's exactly why next month I'm bringing 10 female leaders to my house to workshop what it actually takes to build that kind of leverage, reputation and personal brand. If you're curious what that actually looks like, follow along I'm gonna be sharing the entire experience here and what it actually takes to build that for yourself.
