(00:00):
Choose someone who is in alignment with your values and
has actually created what you want to create, not once, but twice. You
want to write a book? You want to fill out an event? Great. Go choose
someone that hasn't just run one event. Choose someone that's run multiple
events. There's a real difference between a peak month
and building a real empire. The difference is in the fucking reps.

(00:22):
Because your coach or that coach that's promising you that
strategy or that funnel, the 100k a month, they might
look polished online, but they're not actually seasoned. So
this is what you want to look for in a true mentor. You want to look for someone who's
welcome to the Alex Tripod Show, the space where we blend 5D
frequency with real world flex. After coaching thousands globally

(00:44):
and becoming one of the most trusted and triggering voices in
manifestation, I realized you don't manifest what you
want, you manifest what you're willing to fucking become. So
if you're a high-achieving entrepreneur who knows that we're born for
more, more wealth, more influence, more unapologetic power,
then strap in. This podcast is your permission slip to

(01:04):
collapse timelines, rewrite the rules, and embody the
version of you that gets everything they came for. Because let's
be real, nothing is real, everything's a hologram, and
you, you're about to bend it all in your favor. Let's
fucking go. Welcome
back Rockstar to another episode of The Alex Tripod

(01:26):
Show. That's right. I'm still getting used to it. Today we are,
you know, we're going a bit rogue, but not really like rogue
within reason. And I want to be sharing with you the
real reason your coach isn't
getting you to 100k months or even 10k months or
a million dollar months if you're already at 100k months. So here's

(01:49):
what I truly believe and see that's happening
like an epidemic in the coaching industry.
Most coaches are actually selling results
that they actually have not yet fully
mastered. Meaning, I've fluked a

(02:12):
100K sales month, maybe twice,
and now it's like a permanent pinned badge, like
they're a seasoned coach that knows how to do that,
right? So I really want to
learn this because There's a real
difference. And, you

(02:34):
know, I hate to crap on about AI, but this is where
we're going to start seeing a massive difference in
what you can authentically feel is fucking real
versus the cute little B-rolls with
a perfectly curated little AI POV
statement and a caption, right? And

(02:58):
what you're feeling, and the more intuitive you become, and
the more you raise your vibration, the
more you're going to feel the difference in
is this coach, is this mentor actually
selling me something that they are in integrity with, they
are embodied in, that they have mastered, or

(03:21):
have they just mastered like how
to basically market a couple
of little highlights that they've accomplished in their first year or
two of business and now calling themselves a
guru in this, right? There's a real difference between a
peak month and building a real empire. And

(03:43):
this is what I really wanna land, right? The difference is
in the fucking reps. Because your coach
or that coach that's promising you that strategy or that funnel,
the 100K a month, they might look polished online, but
they're not actually seasoned. I mean, they've got
a bit of a sprinkle of salt and pepper, but they're not

(04:05):
seasoned. meaning they haven't spent years
refining their craft. And I know I'm going to
sound like a wanker right here, but yeah, I've got the reps. I've got 10 years
in the bank and I know what comes with building
a sole-led coaching business for
10 years. You're going to have peaks, you're going to have troughs, you're going to

(04:27):
have identity breakdowns, rebirths, shifts, wormholes, fucking
business energetic winters, financial fucking things. You're
going to be able to have to take risks. And if you're not choosing a
coach that's not seasoned and hasn't actually created what
you want to create again and again and again and again, they're
not going to be able to hold you through when

(04:49):
you're going through your shit? Because when you're choosing
a coach, it's not just about, oh, they're going to teach me
the funnel or the strategy. It's, can
I rely on them? Will they be able to hold me in my highest? Will
they be able to hold me to my accountability when
I'm having a rough time, right? And if they haven't

(05:12):
walked through the fire over and over and
over again in that thing that you're trying to create, meaning that
thing that you look up to them, you've pedestaled them because
they've made a couple of hundred K sales months. And all of a sudden
you've invested five, 10, 20 K to go create the same, but
they kind of fluted and they haven't created it since. And now

(05:33):
they're pretending and now they're obsessed with how they look online, but
not the depth that they hold behind the
scenes. Right? And you can tell because this
is the coach that's addicted to the next launch, addicted to the next
flex, addicted to the next look at me post, not
the boring back-end systems that's actually making sustainable cash

(05:55):
or the things that are actually getting their clients fucking breakthroughs and
results, right? Do not fall for aesthetic.
Do your research. Why do you think, like, why
do you think that face-to-camera reels now
are getting a lot more traction. And not even just face-to-camera reels,

(06:16):
like some of my professionally curated reels, even from this podcast
studio, don't do that well. You know what does really, really, really, really, really
well? The fucking, hi, I've just had a fucking download,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Because that's the authenticity, that's the energy,
that's real. And we're now curving away from
perfectly curated highlight reels Two,

(06:37):
I want to feel your fucking energy before I invest two, five,
10, 20, 50K in you, right? So do
not hire based on one sexy month
that your coach made. Ask yourself, do they
live and breathe what I want to create? Are
they a living, breathing embodiment of what I want? Have

(07:00):
they held multiple clients through success and through
struggle? Right? Have they built... And
by the way, I just want to say something there. This is not about me
going like, oh, every coach has to hold responsibility for
making sure that their clients are getting the results. Like, I
don't hold responsibility. I don't like, I can't sign a

(07:22):
client up because it's my responsibility that they get 100k
a month. It is my responsibility to
deliver what I promise. It is my responsibility to show
up. It is my responsibility to call bullshit on them when
I can see that they're playing small. And it is my responsibility to hold
them with love and fucking truth and reverence when

(07:42):
they are in a fucking wormhole. Because, believe
you me, the jump between multi-six figures and seven
figures is where you'll experience your biggest fucking ego
deaths. People are like, oh, I've made multi-six figures.
I'm going to go to seven figures now. Ha! That's when you actually really
need a mentor that's walked to the fucking fire. And that's what

(08:04):
I pride myself on because, like, At
any time in my WhatsApp group where we have a thread for all
of my mastermind clients when they get to come to me and they've got me in
their back pocket and they're going like we obviously that we celebrate wins
and this and launches and amazing stuff too, but sometimes it's,
fuck, this is happening. Holy shit, how do I do this? I'm going through this. And

(08:26):
there has never been in the last three years
that I've been running this mastermind. There has never been one question that
I've had to chat GBT for advice of how to reply,
which I can assure you a lot of people are doing these days.
Because I am using lived experience. I

(08:48):
am using past memory in my
fucking cells. of the reps
that I have done over the last 10 years that
I can authentically channel exactly what
they need to hear to bridge that gap to get them through
whatever they're going through, right? Legend, quick

(09:10):
pause. If you're already making 10 to 30K months and
you're ready to scale to seven figures with support, strategy,
and savage self-leadership, then you belong in my mastermind, Mission
& Millions. This is where high-level entrepreneurs come to expand
their capacity, master 5D business, and bust into
a whole new financial paradigm. If that's you, click the

(09:32):
link in the show notes and get inside. Now let's get back to the show. and
maybe this is me, maybe my marketing is off, maybe I need to start talking
about that I do business as well, but it confuses me that
people go and choose a coach that's been in the game for a

(09:52):
year or two, or has done like little bits and pieces, where
it's like, I know most of you that are listening to this
podcast, or most of you that are following me, Deep
down, you want to run events and sell them
out in a fucking nanosecond. You want to create a
fucking cult following. You want to have a successful podcast. You

(10:14):
want to have three, 400K a month. You want to build a million dollar funnel
that makes you fucking money as you sleep. You want to have the time freedom
that I have. You want to have the financial freedom that I have. You literally
want to create what I've created. You maybe want to do a big 500 person event
like I have. How the fuck does she do it? How does she keep quantum leaping every
single year? year after year after year after year after

(10:35):
year. She keeps quantum shifting. She never gives
up. How does she have that deluded self-belief, right? And
I'm going to arrogantly say it confuses me
when someone will choose another
coach that's more perfectly curated, that's
highlighting a couple of little wins, rather than someone who's

(10:57):
actually walked the fire and lived and breathed it year on
year out, right? Because I'm not about just
one little lucky spike. I'm about building reputable
results. Right? Reps, reps, reps, reps.
So please keep this in mind. I'm not saying it has to be me. Of
course, there's a lot of embodied, incredible coaches out there. I'm

(11:19):
saying choose someone who is in alignment with your
values and has actually created what you want to create, not once,
but twice. You want to write a book? You want to fill out
an event? Great, go choose someone that
hasn't just run one event, choose someone that's run multiple
events, maybe two at Australia, five times, like myself, okay? So

(11:40):
really, when you're looking at choosing a coach, you
wanna make sure like, not just looking at what the
content that they create, but how embodied are they in the
codes that they're sharing. So this is what you wanna look for in
a true mentor. You wanna look for someone who's been in the trenches, You
want to look for someone who knows what to do in a financial

(12:03):
winter, okay? That's not just, I'm winning, winning, winning, winning,
winning. Meaning, they actually talk about real talk
of their life as well. Not just, I'm winning and life is fucking amazing.
You want to look for someone who's not
just obsessed with money or your
payments into their bank account, but is actually obsessed with your

(12:25):
transformation. You want to look for someone who
can hold the duality, your breakdowns and
your breakthroughs. You want to look for someone who's
not just scaling to prove that, hey, mommy and daddy, hey world,
I'm finally enough, but they're actually serving from embodiment.
Right? And you want to look for a mentor who doesn't just sell 100k

(12:48):
a month, but is actually has proven
results. It's stacking them on repeat. So for example, let's say
my next level is million dollar months. Am I going to choose
a coach that has done a one-off million dollar month
and that's it? How do I know that wasn't a fluke? How do I know that she
wasn't also launching this and doing that and doing that? I don't

(13:08):
know what was going on behind the scenes, but if she's done it over and
over and over and over again, I'm working with
that one and I'm willing to pay her or
him because they've got the fucking reps. And I know that
they're going to be able to bridge my gap a whole lot faster. And from where I
am, three, 400K a month is a huge difference to

(13:29):
million dollar months. And I'm going to need someone to hold me
through that, not just the strategy, but energetically and
the identity of Alex Tripod who makes million dollar
months. So really think about, Who do I
need in order to hold me? So if you're at 10K months, who
do I need in order to hold me to 50K months? Who

(13:49):
do I need that's going to anchor me to 100K months? So
on and so forth. So to wrap it up, there's a few things that you
can do to sniff bullshit versus authenticity. Number
one, You want to raise your vibration because
the more light that your cells hold, the more intuitively tapped
in you will be to your truth, and the more you

(14:11):
will feel guided to the right mentor. It's not
that your mentor has to even be massively successful
for you to choose to work with them. They just may have
the codes that you need. Trust your intuition, right?
And number two, like I would say
that it also doesn't mean that you have to be following someone for

(14:33):
months or years. I'm not saying like do your research in
that way, but just have a little look. Look
at their page. Are they being authentic? Have they done the reps?
Are they obsessed with what they do? Because
this is really the standout, not just for your coach, but
for you. I truly believe any successful business,

(14:55):
is when you become a living, breathing, walking, talking, sleeping,
eating, farting version of you that is
obsessed with what you do. You are so obsessed, you are
so embodied that you are literally a living,
breathing, walking, talking sales magnet, right?
And you will feel that on someone's content. If

(15:18):
their content is all over the fucking shop and they've switched
fucking niches a million times, They're probably
financially struggling. And if you saw their fucking bank account, it'd
be fucking embarrassing for them. So I'm going to wrap it up. Love
you loads. You know what to do. Trust your intuition. And
if you're ready to rock and roll from someone who's fucking seasoned, 10 years,

(15:42):
in the game, fills out events in a nanosecond, has
created a fucking movie, living the best life,
gets paid for being authentically herself, and you want to
know how to actually fucking do it and build the funnels and the systems and the
lead magnets and everything so you have a steady flow of leads and sales whilst you're
being the fullest expression version of you, you know what to do. Click
