Welcome to the
0:08
Alax.com podcast. The place
0:11
where future billionaires come
0:13
to get inspired. They lied
0:16
to you, okay? They told
0:18
you to get the fast
0:20
car, the diamond chain, the
0:22
mansion. But deep down, you
0:24
know those are just marketing
0:26
campaigns to separate you from
0:28
your hard-earned money. Do that
0:30
and you'll be back to
0:32
being broken no time, but
0:34
there are things to buy
0:37
that will take your life
0:39
to the next level. And
0:41
here's the list. Number one, and
0:43
I know how this is going to
0:45
sound, but fix your face. We're not
0:47
kidding, okay? Fix your face, whatever it
0:49
is that you really dislike and is
0:51
holding you back. Fix it. Remove the
0:54
mole, fix your teeth, that crooked nose,
0:56
get some lacic surgery to fix your
0:58
eyesight. Those patches on your skin got
1:00
to go. Put money behind it to
1:02
look healthy, rested, and get clear skin.
1:04
Your face is how you connect to
1:07
other people on a day-to-day basis. Your
1:09
confidence will shoot through the roof and
1:11
you'll see its ripple effects in every
1:13
aspect of your life. A report
1:15
by ICA, World of Labor, showed
1:17
that people with a good-looking face
1:19
earn 15% more money than their
1:21
average counterparts and will be hired
1:24
and promoted faster. Those veneers will
1:26
pay for themselves in no time.
1:28
Not only will you earn more,
1:30
but people will find you more
1:32
attractive, which will lead to higher
1:34
quality dates, which translates to better
1:36
social skills, which changes the way
1:38
you experience life. You know all
1:40
too well what being insecure about
1:42
physical attributes feels like, especially how it
1:44
made you feel when other people pointed
1:47
it out. Once you get money, there's
1:49
no reason to carry that burden anymore.
1:51
Just take it easy on the Botox,
1:53
okay, or else you'll end up looking
1:56
like Simon Cowell. Number two,
1:58
your physical strength. Now the faith... This
2:00
is the easiest thing to fix because it
2:02
takes the least amount of time to see
2:04
the change. You get the surgery and bam,
2:06
you're done. You've got the money now
2:09
so you need to be able to
2:11
enjoy it and the healthier you are,
2:13
the more enjoyable money is. Don't think
2:15
twice, just get a trainer. Pay them
2:17
in advance and let them know that
2:19
you really want a transformation. They'll clear
2:21
all the chaos for you and will
2:23
keep you accountable. You already paid the
2:25
money so it's time to get something
2:27
back for that investment. You'll feel better.
2:29
People will notice you even more. Confidence
2:31
is going higher and higher. Once you
2:33
start to see the results, you're addicted.
2:35
And look okay, if you're sitting on
2:37
the couch right now watching this and
2:40
dread the idea of going to the
2:42
gym. Just know that's a temporary feeling.
2:44
Once those results start coming in, it'll
2:46
become a natural part of who you
2:48
are. Your schedule will find the time,
2:50
okay? Commit first, and you'll see how
2:52
it works out in your favor. Anything
2:54
in life is easier once you remove
2:57
the friction. So get a trainer. They'll
2:59
come to the gym closest to where
3:01
you live. Order all the gym gear
3:03
you need and start doing this, okay?
3:05
Plus, you'll be surrounded by good-looking people
3:07
who are also taking care of
3:10
their bodies. you can finally get
3:12
that back pain sorted out. Spend
3:14
time in a sauna once a
3:16
week and your risk from dying
3:18
from cardiovascular events drops by 27%
3:20
do it four times a week
3:23
and the risk of heart failure
3:25
goes down by almost 50%. High
3:27
temperatures releases a substance called dinorphine
3:29
which triggers your body to go
3:31
into protein repair mode. It also
3:34
binds your endorphine receptors more strongly
3:36
to the brain. Number three, your
3:38
bed, mattress, pillows, linens. Growing up
3:40
poor you don't realize just how
3:42
bad your sleeping situation is. If
3:44
you never wake up fully rested,
3:46
if you find it hard to
3:48
fall asleep or get into those
3:50
deep sleep zones where your body
3:52
nurtures itself from maximum output during
3:54
the day, well it's because of
3:56
your bed. Poor people overpay for
3:58
cars and TV. Rich people overpay
4:00
for their mattresses and pillows. Now
4:02
mattress prices are all over the
4:05
place. Whatever number you're thinking in
4:07
your mind is okay to spend
4:09
on a mattress, triple it and
4:11
see what you can find in
4:13
that price range. You'll not regret
4:15
this decision. Statistically, you spend a
4:17
third of your life in your
4:19
bed. So investing in a good
4:21
one is a no-brainer. When it
4:23
comes to pillows, we purchased a
4:25
bunch of them filled with every
4:27
sponge, microfiber, feather, or polymer you
4:29
can imagine. And honestly, the hands-down
4:31
best pillow we could find was
4:33
for a fraction of the cost
4:35
of the other ones, and it
4:37
was from IKEA. They're called the
4:39
Burgvin pillows, and they retail for
4:41
about a hundred bucks. Once you
4:43
get the money, buy yourself the
4:46
mattress, the pillows, the linens, with
4:48
a thread count, over 500, your
4:50
sleep will never be the same.
4:52
It's gotten to a point where
4:54
we feel less rested in luxury
4:56
hotels than we do in our
4:58
very own home. Number 4. Your
5:00
Food Now while pursuing the grind,
5:02
you had to downsize everywhere for
5:04
extended periods of time. We call
5:06
those our Roman years. Basically you
5:08
survive on the cheapest things possible.
5:10
You eat for the sole purpose
5:12
of being fed. You add ketchup
5:14
and hot sauce to things just
5:16
to make it more pleasant to
5:18
eat. Something really great happens when
5:20
you make money though. Your understanding
5:22
of behavior changes. All of a
5:24
sudden you're smart enough to realize
5:27
that food is actually fuel. That
5:29
if you eat this, this. than
5:31
that, well you can add an
5:33
extra hour of work, focus or
5:35
training to your day. The goal
5:37
is to increase the quality of
5:39
your consumption while lowering the quantity.
5:41
Poor people eat volume. That's why
5:43
the KFC bucket has 30 wings,
5:45
but all those fancy restaurants serve
5:47
super small portions. One should either
5:49
eat for nourishment or for the
5:51
experience. Number five, convenience. So here's
5:53
the thing that beats... free. is
5:55
fast. Walking is free, yet people
5:57
still grab an Uber. Tap water
5:59
is free, but you're still buying
6:01
a bottle of water if you're
6:03
in front of the store. Fortunately
6:05
for you, money does buy convenience.
6:07
The same services you would travel
6:10
to now come to you. Flying
6:12
private is one of the most
6:14
convenient things possible. Not only do
6:16
you get to decide when the
6:18
plane leaves, but you get to
6:20
the airport, get in a car,
6:22
they drop you off at the
6:24
entrance of your plane, and you
6:26
get in and fly out. No
6:28
lines, no cues, no cues. Security already
6:30
has your info and you're pre-vetted to
6:32
fly. If you're in your early days
6:34
and you can't afford to fly private,
6:36
there are certain passes you can purchase
6:38
that will allow you to skip security
6:41
at airports and fast track through things.
6:43
Life is too short to stand in
6:45
line. Hell, life is too short to
6:47
sit in the classroom. One of our
6:49
biggest things here at Aylux is education.
6:51
We recognize it as the thing that
6:53
can facilitate every single one of your
6:55
goals. So we decided to make it
6:57
more convenient for you to access. When
6:59
you go to a Lux.org, you'll find
7:01
six of our premium learning experiences
7:03
on topics ranging from meditation to
7:06
learning the ins and outs of
7:08
Bitcoin. There's a course on how
7:10
to reinvent your life step by
7:12
step, how to become a master
7:14
freelancer, and even a course dedicated
7:16
to teaching you how to learn
7:18
so you can effectively teach yourself
7:20
anything you want. And if you
7:22
go to a Lux.org and use
7:24
the promo code, a Luxor at
7:26
checkout, you'll get 25% off. Your location.
7:29
Now you might not realize it,
7:31
but where you live is the most
7:33
important decision you'll make in your life.
7:35
Statistically, it'll influence, who you marry, who
7:38
your friends are, what you do for
7:40
fun, and even your political affiliation and
7:42
religious beliefs. In life, the closer you
7:45
are to the money, the more money
7:47
you'll make. That said, even if you're
7:49
in the right place, changing locations might
7:52
still be for the better. If you
7:54
started from the bottom, you know the
7:56
bottom is no place to live. You're
7:58
surrounded by weirdos. There isn't much going
8:01
on and you have to commute to
8:03
any place worth seeing. The closer you
8:05
are to the office or workplace, the
8:07
more time you have to do other
8:09
things that push you even further. Number
8:12
seven, your schedule. Now,
8:15
once you get money, your goal becomes
8:17
clearing up your schedule. You go from
8:19
saying yes to everything to saying no
8:21
to most things. The less you have
8:23
to do, the more you get to
8:26
enjoy the things you really want to
8:28
do. That's where creativity stems from. It's
8:30
hard to be creative or enjoy life
8:32
when you've been carrying rocks up the
8:34
mountain like Sisyphus all day, only to
8:36
do it again tomorrow and then again
8:39
the day after. Outsource
8:41
everything, okay? Clear your schedule,
8:43
clear your calendar. Having
8:45
a busy calendar and a busy mind
8:47
will destroy your ability to create
8:49
anything great. So take this seriously. Now
8:51
that you've got money, other people
8:53
will want your time. So keep an
8:55
open calendar, but always be too
8:57
busy to do coffee with people who
8:59
don't give you a serious reason
9:01
to do so. Number
9:03
eight, house cleaning services
9:05
and subscriptions for essentials.
9:08
Now this might sound trivial, but outsource
9:10
the trivial tasks in your life, okay?
9:12
Now that you've got the money, you
9:14
can afford to pay someone to clean
9:16
your house for you and that frees
9:18
up more time for you to contemplate
9:20
your next steps. Find people and pay
9:22
them for everything you don't want to
9:24
do, but maintain activities like walking your
9:26
dog if you enjoy playing with that
9:28
good boy and keeping up with this
9:30
clear your calendar agenda, you should set
9:32
up your bills on auto pay. We
9:34
have recurring payments cleared for almost all
9:37
of our invoices. Money leaves the account automatically.
9:39
We check it a couple of times
9:41
a year to make sure everything is
9:43
in order, but so far we've never
9:45
had any issues. As a pro tip,
9:47
we've also automated a portion of our
9:49
income to go automatically to Vanguard into
9:51
an S &P 500. That way, we
9:53
know our DCA is on autopilot and
9:55
we've got no problem living on the
9:57
rest. Number nine,
9:59
time. Time with your family. Family
10:01
time can be different once you've got
10:04
a bit of money. Your parents or siblings
10:06
don't need fancy gifts from you, but
10:08
they might need help with their mortgage. Pay
10:10
it off on their behalf and let
10:12
them know you love them. Relieving your parents
10:14
of financial stress will open up more
10:16
money for them to take care of themselves
10:18
and live a happier life. In our
10:20
experience, it also makes them respect you a
10:22
lot more. Whenever we travel, we love
10:24
bringing family members with us. So they don't
10:26
feel like they're leaching off of us,
10:28
they still pay for their flights and other
10:30
expenses, but we secretly pick up the
10:32
cost of the accommodation. That allows
10:34
us to not compromise on the
10:36
quality of the experience and they
10:38
still feel like they're contributing. It's
10:41
easy to drift apart when life
10:43
is chaotically busy, but these relationships
10:45
are valuable, so nurture them. Number
10:48
10. Your Teachers Smart
10:51
folks know that you never stop learning,
10:53
you just elevate your teachers, right?
10:55
The people you learn from are more
10:57
niched. They have deeper insights and
10:59
knowledge. You seek out experts, you leverage
11:01
their input into getting more down
11:04
and shorter spans of time. These people
11:06
are usually expensive and outside the
11:08
reach of regular folks. An executive coach
11:10
typically costs several thousands of dollars
11:12
per month just to jump on a
11:14
Zoom call with you and have
11:16
a one hour conversation. But you're seeing
11:18
results, so you've got no problem
11:21
paying. At this level, these teachers
11:23
know what they're talking about and
11:25
what you need to do next. And
11:27
you know, plenty of people don't
11:29
have the money to get a dedicated
11:31
personal coach, but the same thing
11:33
Airbnb did to luxury homes, we're already
11:35
doing to the self -development industry. The
11:37
ALUX app is the first and
11:39
only app specifically designed for entrepreneurs and
11:41
high achievers. We built the ultimate
11:43
app to focus you and help you
11:45
earn more, be happier, wiser, improve
11:47
your relationships faster at a fraction of
11:50
the cost. It's basically a high performance
11:52
coach in your pocket. There's daily
11:54
coaching sessions that I guide you
11:56
through, plus new expert learning collections
11:58
released every month. It's the kind
12:00
of... investment you make that pays for
12:02
itself within the first month alone because
12:04
there's just so much value. Think about
12:06
it. The lesson library already available in
12:08
there is huge because the app has
12:10
been live for almost three years and
12:13
it's always getting better. If you'd like
12:15
to join us on the inside we've
12:17
got a special deal for you. If
12:19
you download the app and scan the
12:21
QR code on screen you'll get 25%
12:23
off the annual subscription. By this time
12:25
next year everyone in your circle will
12:27
be wondering how you manage to get
12:30
so far, so fast. Number 11, your
12:32
stories and adventures. Now
12:34
here's how you become
12:36
the most interesting person in
12:38
the room. You live a life
12:40
worth telling others about. You travel,
12:42
you try things, you get into
12:44
adventures. You focus on the journey,
12:47
not the destination. Be a traveler,
12:49
a Luxor, not a tourist. Embrace
12:51
the things that make you feel
12:53
alive. You, the person watching this
12:55
right now, have a bucket list
12:57
of things you want to try
12:59
and experience in your lifetime. The
13:01
clock is ticking, okay, the window
13:04
of opportunity is closing. You're here
13:06
because you made some money or
13:08
are on your way to making
13:10
some. Spending money on experiences actually
13:12
makes you richer, okay? The more
13:14
you experience, the more you find
13:17
out who you are. Most people.
13:19
live and die without ever finding
13:21
out. Your stories and adventures will
13:23
bring people toward you. It'll inspire
13:25
them. Your light will shine bright
13:28
because you've got something genuinely interesting
13:30
to say in a world where
13:32
y'all are watching reruns of the
13:34
same three TV shows. Yes, we're
13:36
talking about friends, the office, and
13:39
let us know in the comments which
13:41
one is the third. Money buys freedom,
13:43
so exercise that freedom for your own
13:45
growth. Fly to the other side of
13:48
the planet and ride the train from
13:50
one coast to another. It'll take you
13:52
a few weeks, but we guarantee you'll
13:55
have at least one hell of a
13:57
story to tell. Number 12. Your
13:59
Charity Work Here's the deal, okay?
14:01
If you're any Luxor, you know
14:03
that we measure success by the positive
14:05
impact that we have in this world.
14:08
We get it, okay? You've been busy
14:10
reinvesting everything into your business, so
14:12
much so that you don't have much
14:14
to give away. That needs to change,
14:17
okay? And we guarantee you'll see a
14:19
positive return on your investment. You want
14:21
to learn a secret? The universe gives
14:24
more to those who are willing
14:26
to give it away. It needs people
14:28
to spread it around. Every time we
14:30
upgraded our giving, a new level of
14:33
wealth and opportunity opened up like clockwork.
14:35
The sooner you start, the better. We
14:37
think of it in terms of
14:39
percentage. Giving away half of a month's
14:42
salary toward helping others is just 4.16%
14:44
of your income. Trust us, you'll have
14:46
no problem living off the rest,
14:48
but the emotional impact it'll have on
14:51
you is incredible. Plus, we feel like
14:53
you could use some good karma in
14:55
your life right now. What do you
14:58
say? Number 13, your wardrobe. Now before
15:00
you jump on to Stock X
15:02
and order a new pair of overpriced
15:04
sneakers, you need to listen carefully, okay?
15:07
Quality over quantity. Timeless over trendy. This
15:09
is why all rich people seem to
15:11
be dressed the same. Little to no
15:14
logos, timeless, and high quality fabrics.
15:16
If you feel like you have nothing
15:18
to wear, that's because you suck at
15:20
buying quality items. Instead of buying four
15:23
puffer jackets from whatever fast fashion
15:25
retailer you're frequent, buy a burberry trench
15:27
coat that will be with you for
15:29
the next 30 years. This allows you
15:32
to rid yourself of the useless excess
15:34
you store in your home and have
15:36
a clean portfolio of clothes. If
15:38
you have absolutely... No fashion sense. Google
15:41
capsule wardrobe and go from there. We
15:43
mentioned this concept in the past. It's
15:45
one of the easiest ways to structure
15:48
a viable wardrobe. You're welcome. Number 14,
15:50
your subscriptions. Now for years, you've
15:52
only been subscribed to a hand. of
15:54
things right but now with money comes
15:57
power and options you've got the money
15:59
so you can afford to pay for
16:01
things you used to rip off the
16:04
internet it feels great to be
16:06
able to be up to date on
16:08
everything but that's not all Whatever your
16:10
hobbies are, there's certainly a dedicated community
16:13
behind a paywall in order to threat
16:15
out the audience. For some, it might
16:17
be a golf club membership, for
16:19
others, a gentleman's club, others are into
16:22
fishing or racing fast cars. It's all
16:24
about being a member of a group
16:26
of people who are extremely passionate
16:28
about the same thing as you. You'll
16:31
make friends pretty easily there. And if
16:33
you're anything like us, you've sacrificed your
16:35
social life in order to build your
16:37
fortune and you probably find it difficult
16:40
to make new friends as an an
16:42
adult. This is your cheat code, okay?
16:44
Have fun. And number 15,
16:46
upgrade your life by
16:49
downgrading your taxes. What
16:51
does it mean to be free? Is
16:53
it to move freely and do what
16:55
you want? The more money you make,
16:58
the more some governments will ask of
17:00
you. That's why you start looking into
17:02
offshore banking and investments. That's when you
17:04
incorporate in Belize or the British Virgin
17:06
Islands. That's when you buy a second
17:09
home and you buy and rent it
17:11
out. Money gives you the ability to
17:13
enjoy money more. How ridiculous is that?
17:15
And what a shame let this ability
17:18
go to waste. What about you, my
17:20
friend? If you suddenly got a lot
17:22
more money than you have right now,
17:24
what would you spend it on? Let
17:26
us know in the comments. And as
17:28
a bonus for those of you sticking
17:30
with us until the very end, a
17:32
new life. Because look, some of you
17:34
just don't like the life that you're
17:36
living right now, and that's fair. You've
17:38
made the money, but things still don't
17:40
feel right. Life feels shallow. Everything we
17:42
mentioned in this video when you put
17:45
it all together allows you to buy
17:47
a new life. You can become someone
17:49
else completely. You can reinvent the identity
17:51
you possess, make new friends, and start
17:53
over. This is one of the greatest
17:55
luxuries in life. Life is too short
17:57
to live the same day over and
17:59
over again. until you die. Money
18:01
allows you to live more lives
18:04
while everyone else lives just one.
18:06
We spent the first decade of
18:08
our adult life solving the money
18:10
equation. In this new decade, we
18:13
might just pick up writing or
18:15
speaking engagements. We might build a
18:17
viable charitable foundation or throw ourselves
18:19
into artfully. The beautiful thing is
18:22
that once you've got the money,
18:24
you've got options. So feel free
18:26
to exercise them however you can.
18:28
And if you're working toward that
18:31
point in life, write the word
18:33
options in the comments. That way
18:35
we know which ones of you
18:37
will live more. than one linear
18:40
life. This was a great podcast
18:42
today, wasn't it? Thank you for
18:44
spending some time with us and
18:46
taking another step toward improving the
18:49
way you look at life. If
18:51
