Funnily enough, a lot of coaches think they need like an offer suite with
like 10 different offers to scale to seven figures. Nah. So
if you know that you are unconsciously spending, or if you're sick
and tired of making money and not knowing where it's going, it's time to
change this, not by doing more, but by shifting your
internal state of mind. of being. Over the course of
(00:21):
eight months, I literally jumped my bank account from $80k
to over $330k, which is insane because I
wasn't doing anything different strategically. I wasn't touring the world. I
increased my wealth by over 330%. The
subconscious energetic tool that I used to lock
in a new wealth set point was... Welcome to
(00:43):
The Alex Tripod Show, the space where we blend 5D frequency
with real world flex. After coaching thousands globally 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 they were born for
(01:04):
more, more wealth, more influence, more unapologetic power,
then strap in. This podcast is your permission slip to
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
(01:25):
fucking go. Welcome
Rockstar on today's episode of
the Alex Tripod Show. Today we are going deep into how
I finally busted my financial thermostat,
my financial ceiling. And this is something that I see massively in the space. People
making 10, 20, 50, 100K a month and
(01:47):
beyond, and yet their bank balance is still at 10K or 5K
or 2K. How am I making all these sales, all
these money, and where is it going? Why isn't
my wealth increasing as my business is
growing? And what's going on there? And I see this a lot, and
it's basically that you have a financial thermostat problem,
(02:10):
meaning there is something unconsciously going
on for you to stay in the same financial reality
and keep looping in that reality, because you don't
feel safe to hold your next level of
wealth or abundance. So I want to talk to you a little bit
about behind the scenes of what happened when I
(02:32):
hit my first ever $120,000 cash month, two and a half years into my business. Um,
and what actually happened, it's a bit of a funny story. Um, and
I, I trust that you're going to be coded with this story. You're going to find potentially
similarities and aha moments of like, holy
shit, that's where I've done this. That's where I'm at. And the more awareness you
(02:54):
can have around where you've been doing this or where this is still happening
in your life, the more you're going to be able to actually clean this up and
then put into place what you actually need to do. So I'm going to
be sharing with you a little bit about what you can actually do to overcome
this and could not keep, you know, looping in the same timeline. So,
okay, picture this, two and a half years into
(03:16):
my business, and I have just
spoken on stage in front of 500 people in an audience
full of ideal clients. Uh, funnily enough, a lot of
coaches think, or like, you know, solid entrepreneurs, they
think that they need like an offer suite with like 10 different offers to
scale to seven figures. Nah, I had one
(03:38):
offer, one offer, and I had repeatedly multiple
100 K plus cash months with one offer. Right. It
was a four and a half thousand dollar program. When
most people are like, Oh, I need a $99 thing and a 997 and
I need a $5,000 and then the 20. No, you fucking don't. You
need one and you need to nail it and you need to scale it. Rest
(04:00):
in peace, Cohen. Okay. So. The first
time I realized that I had a financial thermostat
problem is when I made a $120,000 cash month straight
after jumping off stage within 30 years after that speaking
gig, I didn't even sell on stage. I just. I
just was so me and so unapologetically activated the
(04:21):
audience that every like so many people in the audience were like, holy fuck,
I need to work with Alex. And so at the
time I was dating or
she dating a woman who had a
business who basically helped coaches get
finance, meaning someone could work with me. And
(04:43):
instead of having to pay $5,000 in
full, they could go on a $45 payment plan per
week, but I would get paid in full, they would have the
payment plan, and they'd get a loan from a financial institution. So
it's win, win, win. Win for the client because there's no financial pressure, win
for me because I get paid in full and I can use that cash to grow my business, and
(05:04):
win for humanity because we're evolving, right? And we're making, I
guess, uh personal development more readily
available instead of thinking that we should only be using credit
cards and loans and finance for fucking cars and
and shit like that where it's like so I loved this and
so access to this made it made a huge influx
(05:26):
of cash And so I had this influx of cash and
I wasn't really used to having over 120K in my
bank balance. Like I was more used to like two
and a half years into my business, I was more used to having
more around the 30K to 60K, you know, that
was kind of like my, my jam. And
(05:47):
so. I decided that then
was the right time to buy a business class flight and go
to Bali and go for 10 days and enjoy myself. And
that was fine. Okay, cool. I want a bit of reward. And
so basically I got myself on the, um, to
the airport and my girlfriend at the time was driving me to
(06:08):
the airport and I swung my big dick around and
I, on the way to the airport, because she had to be in Australia to
take all the calls and stuff, she wasn't yet fully free where she
could just travel the world like me, otherwise I would have, you
know, invited her from the get-go. And on the way to the airport I was like, hun,
like, here's my credit card, like, come up for the weekend, book
(06:29):
your business class flights. I've got accommodation. Just like go
home. Here's my credit card and come, come, come
next weekend, even if it's three days. And she's like, Oh, really? I'm like, yeah, absolutely.
So, um, I get to the airport. And basically
I see this Montblanc pen that's two and a half thousand dollars. And
I'm like, well, it's going to be my magic pen. I need this pen. So you
(06:50):
say, see all these little things sacking. So there's so much overflowing my bank account. I'm
unconsciously thinking of creative ways of how to spend it. I didn't need
the fucking pen. but I tricked myself that I needed a
magic fucking pen, right? So
I get to Bali and this is where it's really funny. Like, you
know, and you can manifest things like you think, oh, it's a really good idea. Or
(07:11):
like, maybe it's like, you know, you might manifest it ways in ways
that you don't want like a fucking, where did that $20,000 tax bill come from?
And it's all your unconscious mind trying to pull you
back to the same financial reality because that's where it feels familiar and
safe. So I land in Bali. And I'm there
with my friend and I'm like chatting to her and I'm like, oh my God. And
(07:31):
mind you, I'm 10 months into my relationship with my girlfriend. And
it was a great relationship. It wasn't like, but I was like, oh my God. my
soul just told me now is the right time to propose.
So I decided I'm going to propose to my girlfriend when
she comes and flies to Bali in 10 days
time. Right? She's booked her flight. I know she's coming, not this weekend,
(07:55):
next weekend. Great. And then it's like, okay, cool. We're getting, I'm
going to get engaged. Cool. I'm going to propose. What's this going to look like?
I'm running around Bali trying to find an authentic fucking diamond ring.
Do you think anywhere that I can find an actual real diamond ring in
Bali? Fuck no. I'm walking around, I'm going to like the
actual shopping centers. I think the only thing that I could find that was even remotely
(08:15):
close to a real diamond ring was there was a Cartier store, Cartier, and
they wanted to charge me for 0.5 of a
carat, right? For 0.5 of a carat, which is fucking
like a bee's dick, you can't even see it, right? $30,000 Australian
dollars. $30,000 for half a carrot. I'm like, nah, get fucked. So I was
(08:37):
like, what do I do? So then I started calling around in Australia and
my friend at the time, EJ Love, she, I was
like, what if I, if she was going home anyway? I'm like, if I fly you back
and I pay for your flights and accommodation to fly back to be the
ring bearer, can you go back home to Brisbane and pick it up from the wholesaler? She's
like, yes. So then I'm on the phone call trying to
(08:58):
get the best bang for my buck. I end up buying a $24,000 engagement ring.
It was like literally from the ring to get it molded. I already knew
I wanted a princess cut. I wanted this color, not color,
clarity. So I knew all the things and which is
very odd for me because I don't know, I just, you know, got
really educated really fast. And so they basically made
(09:21):
it within 48 hours. My friend EJ picked it
up. I booked her flights. I booked her accommodation. She came
flying back and she was the ring bearer and she was so excited
about it. Cause she's all about like love and conscious relating. She's like,
Oh my God, I love that. I'm the ring bearer. This is so fucking cool. Anyway.
So my then girlfriend lands, I'm like
(09:42):
all secretive. It's all great. Um, and then I decide as
well, Like, I love old
Alex, but holy fuck, she's so extravagant. And you know what? When
and if I do propose again, I know it'll probably be just as
extravagant as this, if not more. But
I decided as well that I needed to hire the
(10:04):
Wow W Suite at the W Resort, which
was another, I think $3,000 per night. And
then I needed to buy a gift for my girlfriend for every
day that she was away to hide that there was a proposal. So
I'm talking like a blow up unicorn in one room, a GoPro thing, this
and that. So like it was this whole thing. So I
(10:26):
pretended that I was taking her out for dinner. I was like, Hey babe, like
before we go out for dinner, can we just go to level three? I just want to share something, like
check something out on that level. It's something really cool there. She's like, okay. And
she was none the wiser. And then we went and I was like, Oh, what's that envelope on
top of that thing? And it said like her name and she opened it
up and that was like envelope one, which led to the present one, which led to
(10:47):
envelope two. I mean, sorry guys, if your potential
missus is watching this, I really understand it and raise
the bar of proposals, but the detail that went into
this, you know, probably another 5k on the proposal
and the gifts and the that and the 24,000 and you get the gist, right?
And then on top of that, I decided, you know, I think
(11:09):
like Morgan at the time, um, and like all
these other people that live in Gold Coast were at Bali at
the time that I was there. And I was like, let me have a pop-up engagement party
too. I don't want to just propose. I want an immediate pop-up party.
I want catering. I want cocktails. I want people coming
into the frigging wow, sweet thing that I got. So of course.
(11:31):
I proposed. It was beautiful. It was amazing. Immediately after, they
were all waiting downstairs at the W, hiding, and
I gave them the green light. Next thing you know, she says, yes, 20 people
come in. There's cocktails, espresso, martinis, catering, fucking
20 champagne bottles. Like, I went all out. Quick pause,
legend. If this episode is landing, then it's time you got inside 5DU.
(11:54):
This is my entire life's work in one
hub. It's 5D identity work meets business strategy
that actually creates results. If you're ready to finally live
in overflow, 5DU is your next step. So click the link in
the show notes and get inside. Now back to the episode. The
reason I share this with you is because there was
(12:16):
a sneaky subconscious sabotage that
was actually playing out beneath it all. You know, I
thought I was just celebrating my abundance. I thought like now was
the right time. And I'm not saying it wasn't, but now in hindsight, when
I look back, the truth is I was unconsciously trying
to find and did find creative ways to
(12:40):
go back down and take my bank balance back down
to what felt familiar. I didn't even mention that literally the week
that I landed back in Australia as an engaged woman, I decided then
was the right time to buy my $50,000 Range Rover. So
when I mean I was depleting my bank account, I was
all fucking in. Right. And then I realized, wow,
(13:01):
like it's not that I went into scarcity, but I realized like after
it took me about two years of looping between like 60K,
80K, 60K, 80K. And I was like there, which is still
very abundant for most entrepreneurs. But for me, it was infuriating that
I was making 50, 60, 100K months and that, that,
that my wealth wasn't building. Right. And maybe you'll resonate
(13:23):
with this, whether you're making consistent 20k a month, but you don't have more than 5k
in the bank account, like what the hell? And so,
yeah, it was
really interesting because for a long time, I didn't
even realize that I had a financial thermostat problem. And
the reason is because I wasn't actually even educated of what a financial thermostat
(13:47):
problem is, right? Why, why I was unconsciously staying
stuck at the same income level. So all I really want
you to understand is a financial thermostat problem. It's
almost like I want you to see like there's this thermometer and I might even do
a whole episode on it, but let's say you've got a thermostat, kind of
like a thermometer. Down the bottom, you've got your red line. Up
(14:08):
the top you've got your ceiling and in the middle you've got your comfort zone. Most
people operate their business anywhere between their comfort zone to their red
line. And this is a problem with the industry or
with businesses because we're all trying to trick and manipulate people
with our marketing from a place of scarcity. We're not actually taking
action from overflow. Meaning, imagine if
(14:29):
you had a million dollars in your bank account right now, or for some of you, even 20K
in your bank account, what safety that would create in your nervous system, and
how your marketing would look different, how your content would look different, how you would
dare to show up differently, how much more authentic you would
be, and how less fucks you would give about doing the perfect fucking
call to action, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You'd probably be a whole lot more you, which
(14:49):
means you would start attracting more people that are actually aligned
to your offer. Right? And this is why I'm such an advocate of
helping people actually create financial stability, because when we do
that, everything changes. Our content changes,
our nervous systems feel more safe to actually be more authentically expressed
in everything we produce. we change social media.
(15:11):
Because at the moment, let's be honest, we go on social media and a lot of it's a
fucking dog's breakfast, regurgitated, scarcity 3D,
fucking bro marketing tactics. It's all fucking outdated. You can feel
the frequency of it. We can feel the frequency of it. And we're sick
and tired of it. So, okay. I realized I
had a financial thermostat problem. And I literally, after about four years
(15:32):
of this, I'm like, I am so done with this. I need to change this. So
what I started doing is, and I don't want
you to take this as gospel, like, Oh, she did this one thing. That's all I'm
going to do. Like, obviously it's more than just this one thing. And
I will say the subconscious energetic
tool that I used to lock in a new wealth set point
(15:53):
was my vibe boosters. Now. You
know, these are like mini meditations that are creating consistent
heart brain coherence throughout my day. Why this is so
powerful is because throughout my day, one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven times a day, I am raising
my vibrational set point to abundance, to abundance, to
(16:16):
abundance, to abundance. So I had a kick-ass morning routine, but
I wasn't really doing anything to maintain my frequency throughout the day. And
this is what I see with so many people. You might have a great morning routine,
you go to the gym, you might do a meditation, but then what happens by
12 o'clock, by two o'clock, by four o'clock, you go into scarcity again. What
are you doing to consistently raise that vibrational set point?
(16:38):
Now, over eight months of doing these vibe
boosters, I call them vibe boosters, if you're going to create your own vibe
boosters, I don't want to sound like a dick here, but please
just create your own IP. Don't call them vibe boosters, that's my IP.
call them frequency raises, call them MIDI meditations, call them something else.
Vibe Boosters, they're an Alex Tribal thing, with respect. Vibe
(17:01):
Boosters changed my life because honestly, within eight
months, I went from being stuck anywhere between 80K
to 120K in my bank account. 120K was my ceiling. Anything
beyond that, I'd unconsciously spend. 80K was my red
line. Oh, we need some more. Don't be in panic. Right? So
that was like my thing. And I want you to work out what's your red line, what's
(17:23):
your ceiling, what's my comfort zone. And then, right,
what happened over eight months, literally eight months of plugging into
these vibe boosters, like a religion, like
my life depended on it, like my income depended on it, like
my mission depended on it, because it did. I
increase my wealth by over 330%, right?
(17:45):
Meaning I took my bank balance to over fucking, I
think it was like over three or 400 K within eight months, which
is insane. Cause I wasn't doing anything different strategically. I wasn't touring
the world. I wasn't doing anything big. Like it wasn't more
action. In fact, I was doing the same strategically. I was
actually just changing my internal wealth set
(18:07):
point. And this is the magic of these tools. So, I mean.
I've got seven vibe boosters that you can buy on,
if you want to go on my Instagram, they're literally $7. They're called like
vibe boosters, if you want to taste and we cover different areas. I've
also got like 35 vibe boosters in my 5DU, in
my mastermind. I teach my clients how to make your own vibe boosters. Like
(18:30):
this is a game changer. So if you know that you are unconsciously
spending, or if you're sick and tired of making money and not knowing where it's
going, This is telling me that there is
a larger part of you that even though you say you consciously
want to shift into a new reality, you are gaining a
lot more safety because of the familiarity of
(18:51):
the current financial reality that
you're in. So it's time to change this, not by doing
more, but by shifting your internal state
of being. And it all starts with these vibe boosters
and so much more when you come into my world. So I trust you
got value from that. Work out what your ceiling is. Work out
(19:12):
what your red line is. Work out what your comfort zone is.
And then try to see what behaviors you do in between.
Is it that you're constantly launching when you're in red and you're in
panic zone? What would your reality look like if you
change the game? Because that's what I'm here to do. I'm really here to
help people create a healthy money buffer, be
(19:33):
a custodian for their money buffer. So this
translates in their personal brand, in their content and
what they're creating. And we change social media. We
change what we're consuming. We change the fucking world. I

(01:25):
fucking go. Welcome
Rockstar on today's episode of
the Alex Tripod Show. Today we are going deep into how
I finally busted my financial thermostat,
my financial ceiling. And this is something that I see massively in the space. People
making 10, 20, 50, 100K a month and
(01:47):
beyond, and yet their bank balance is still at 10K or 5K

(02:10):
meaning there is something unconsciously going

and what actually happened, it's a bit of a funny story. Um, and

be sharing with you a little bit about what you can actually do to overcome

okay, picture this, two and a half years into
(03:16):
my business, and I have just
spoken on stage in front of 500 people in an audience
full of ideal clients. Uh, funnily enough, a lot of
coaches think, or like, you know, solid entrepreneurs, they
think that they need like an offer suite with like 10 different offers to
scale to seven figures. Nah, I had one
(03:38):
offer, one offer, and I had repeatedly multiple

I need a $5,000 and then the 20. No, you fucking don't. You
need one and you need to nail it and you need to scale it. Rest
(04:00):
in peace, Cohen. Okay. So. The first
time I realized that I had a financial thermostat
problem is when I made a $120,000 cash month straight
after jumping off stage within 30 years after that speaking
gig, I didn't even sell on stage. I just. I
just was so me and so unapologetically activated the
(04:21):
audience that every like so many people in the audience were like, holy fuck,
I need to work with Alex. And so at the
time I was dating or
she dating a woman who had a
business who basically helped coaches get

(04:43):
instead of having to pay $5,000 in

of cash And so I had this influx of cash and
I wasn't really used to having over 120K in my

(05:47):
so. I decided that then
was the right time to buy a business class flight and go
to Bali and go for 10 days and enjoy myself. And
that was fine. Okay, cool. I want a bit of reward. And
so basically I got myself on the, um, to
the airport and my girlfriend at the time was driving me to
(06:08):
the airport and I swung my big dick around and
I, on the way to the airport, because she had to be in Australia to
take all the calls and stuff, she wasn't yet fully free where she
could just travel the world like me, otherwise I would have, you
know, invited her from the get-go. And on the way to the airport I was like, hun,
like, here's my credit card, like, come up for the weekend, book
(06:29):
your business class flights. I've got accommodation. Just like go
home. Here's my credit card and come, come, come
next weekend, even if it's three days. And she's like, Oh, really? I'm like, yeah, absolutely.
So, um, I get to the airport. And basically
I see this Montblanc pen that's two and a half thousand dollars. And
I'm like, well, it's going to be my magic pen. I need this pen. So you
(06:50):
say, see all these little things sacking. So there's so much overflowing my bank account. I'm
unconsciously thinking of creative ways of how to spend it. I didn't need
the fucking pen. but I tricked myself that I needed a
magic fucking pen, right? So
I get to Bali and this is where it's really funny. Like, you
know, and you can manifest things like you think, oh, it's a really good idea. Or
(07:11):
like, maybe it's like, you know, you might manifest it ways in ways
that you don't want like a fucking, where did that $20,000 tax bill come from?
And it's all your unconscious mind trying to pull you
back to the same financial reality because that's where it feels familiar and
safe. So I land in Bali. And I'm there
with my friend and I'm like chatting to her and I'm like, oh my God. And
(07:31):
mind you, I'm 10 months into my relationship with my girlfriend. And
it was a great relationship. It wasn't like, but I was like, oh my God. my
soul just told me now is the right time to propose.
So I decided I'm going to propose to my girlfriend when
she comes and flies to Bali in 10 days
time. Right? She's booked her flight. I know she's coming, not this weekend,
(07:55):
next weekend. Great. And then it's like, okay, cool. We're getting, I'm
going to get engaged. Cool. I'm going to propose. What's this going to look like?
I'm running around Bali trying to find an authentic fucking diamond ring.
Do you think anywhere that I can find an actual real diamond ring in
Bali? Fuck no. I'm walking around, I'm going to like the
actual shopping centers. I think the only thing that I could find that was even remotely
(08:15):
close to a real diamond ring was there was a Cartier store, Cartier, and
they wanted to charge me for 0.5 of a
carat, right? For 0.5 of a carat, which is fucking
like a bee's dick, you can't even see it, right? $30,000 Australian
dollars. $30,000 for half a carrot. I'm like, nah, get fucked. So I was
(08:37):
like, what do I do? So then I started calling around in Australia and
my friend at the time, EJ Love, she, I was
like, what if I, if she was going home anyway? I'm like, if I fly you back
and I pay for your flights and accommodation to fly back to be the
ring bearer, can you go back home to Brisbane and pick it up from the wholesaler? She's
like, yes. So then I'm on the phone call trying to
(08:58):
get the best bang for my buck. I end up buying a $24,000 engagement ring.
It was like literally from the ring to get it molded. I already knew
I wanted a princess cut. I wanted this color, not color,
clarity. So I knew all the things and which is
very odd for me because I don't know, I just, you know, got
really educated really fast. And so they basically made
(09:21):
it within 48 hours. My friend EJ picked it
up. I booked her flights. I booked her accommodation. She came
flying back and she was the ring bearer and she was so excited
about it. Cause she's all about like love and conscious relating. She's like,
Oh my God, I love that. I'm the ring bearer. This is so fucking cool. Anyway.
So my then girlfriend lands, I'm like
(09:42):
all secretive. It's all great. Um, and then I decide as
well, Like, I love old
Alex, but holy fuck, she's so extravagant. And you know what? When
and if I do propose again, I know it'll probably be just as
extravagant as this, if not more. But
I decided as well that I needed to hire the
(10:04):
Wow W Suite at the W Resort, which
was another, I think $3,000 per night. And
then I needed to buy a gift for my girlfriend for every
day that she was away to hide that there was a proposal. So
I'm talking like a blow up unicorn in one room, a GoPro thing, this
and that. So like it was this whole thing. So I
(10:26):
pretended that I was taking her out for dinner. I was like, Hey babe, like
before we go out for dinner, can we just go to level three? I just want to share something, like
check something out on that level. It's something really cool there. She's like, okay. And
she was none the wiser. And then we went and I was like, Oh, what's that envelope on
top of that thing? And it said like her name and she opened it
up and that was like envelope one, which led to the present one, which led to
(10:47):
envelope two. I mean, sorry guys, if your potential
missus is watching this, I really understand it and raise
the bar of proposals, but the detail that went into
this, you know, probably another 5k on the proposal
and the gifts and the that and the 24,000 and you get the gist, right?
And then on top of that, I decided, you know, I think
(11:09):
like Morgan at the time, um, and like all
these other people that live in Gold Coast were at Bali at
the time that I was there. And I was like, let me have a pop-up engagement party
too. I don't want to just propose. I want an immediate pop-up party.
I want catering. I want cocktails. I want people coming
into the frigging wow, sweet thing that I got. So of course.
(11:31):
I proposed. It was beautiful. It was amazing. Immediately after, they
were all waiting downstairs at the W, hiding, and
I gave them the green light. Next thing you know, she says, yes, 20 people
come in. There's cocktails, espresso, martinis, catering, fucking
20 champagne bottles. Like, I went all out. Quick pause,
legend. If this episode is landing, then it's time you got inside 5DU.
(11:54):
This is my entire life's work in one
hub. It's 5D identity work meets business strategy
that actually creates results. If you're ready to finally live
in overflow, 5DU is your next step. So click the link in
the show notes and get inside. Now back to the episode. The
reason I share this with you is because there was
(12:16):
a sneaky subconscious sabotage that
was actually playing out beneath it all. You know, I
thought I was just celebrating my abundance. I thought like now was
the right time. And I'm not saying it wasn't, but now in hindsight, when
I look back, the truth is I was unconsciously trying
to find and did find creative ways to
(12:40):
go back down and take my bank balance back down
to what felt familiar. I didn't even mention that literally the week
that I landed back in Australia as an engaged woman, I decided then
was the right time to buy my $50,000 Range Rover. So
when I mean I was depleting my bank account, I was
all fucking in. Right. And then I realized, wow,
(13:01):
like it's not that I went into scarcity, but I realized like after
it took me about two years of looping between like 60K,
80K, 60K, 80K. And I was like there, which is still
very abundant for most entrepreneurs. But for me, it was infuriating that
I was making 50, 60, 100K months and that, that,
that my wealth wasn't building. Right. And maybe you'll resonate
(13:23):
with this, whether you're making consistent 20k a month, but you don't have more than 5k
in the bank account, like what the hell? And so,
yeah, it was
really interesting because for a long time, I didn't
even realize that I had a financial thermostat problem. And
the reason is because I wasn't actually even educated of what a financial thermostat
(13:47):
problem is, right? Why, why I was unconsciously staying
stuck at the same income level. So all I really want
you to understand is a financial thermostat problem. It's
almost like I want you to see like there's this thermometer and I might even do
a whole episode on it, but let's say you've got a thermostat, kind of
like a thermometer. Down the bottom, you've got your red line. Up
(14:08):
the top you've got your ceiling and in the middle you've got your comfort zone. Most
people operate their business anywhere between their comfort zone to their red
line. And this is a problem with the industry or
with businesses because we're all trying to trick and manipulate people
with our marketing from a place of scarcity. We're not actually taking
action from overflow. Meaning, imagine if
(14:29):
you had a million dollars in your bank account right now, or for some of you, even 20K
in your bank account, what safety that would create in your nervous system, and
how your marketing would look different, how your content would look different, how you would
dare to show up differently, how much more authentic you would
be, and how less fucks you would give about doing the perfect fucking
call to action, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You'd probably be a whole lot more you, which
(14:49):
means you would start attracting more people that are actually aligned
to your offer. Right? And this is why I'm such an advocate of
helping people actually create financial stability, because when we do
that, everything changes. Our content changes,
our nervous systems feel more safe to actually be more authentically expressed
in everything we produce. we change social media.
(15:11):
Because at the moment, let's be honest, we go on social media and a lot of it's a
fucking dog's breakfast, regurgitated, scarcity 3D,
fucking bro marketing tactics. It's all fucking outdated. You can feel
the frequency of it. We can feel the frequency of it. And we're sick
and tired of it. So, okay. I realized I
had a financial thermostat problem. And I literally, after about four years
(15:32):
of this, I'm like, I am so done with this. I need to change this. So
what I started doing is, and I don't want
you to take this as gospel, like, Oh, she did this one thing. That's all I'm
going to do. Like, obviously it's more than just this one thing. And
I will say the subconscious energetic
tool that I used to lock in a new wealth set point
(15:53):
was my vibe boosters. Now. You
know, these are like mini meditations that are creating consistent
heart brain coherence throughout my day. Why this is so
powerful is because throughout my day, one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven times a day, I am raising
my vibrational set point to abundance, to abundance, to
(16:16):
abundance, to abundance. So I had a kick-ass morning routine, but
I wasn't really doing anything to maintain my frequency throughout the day. And
this is what I see with so many people. You might have a great morning routine,
you go to the gym, you might do a meditation, but then what happens by
12 o'clock, by two o'clock, by four o'clock, you go into scarcity again. What
are you doing to consistently raise that vibrational set point?
(16:38):
Now, over eight months of doing these vibe
boosters, I call them vibe boosters, if you're going to create your own vibe
boosters, I don't want to sound like a dick here, but please
just create your own IP. Don't call them vibe boosters, that's my IP.
call them frequency raises, call them MIDI meditations, call them something else.
Vibe Boosters, they're an Alex Tribal thing, with respect. Vibe
(17:01):
Boosters changed my life because honestly, within eight
months, I went from being stuck anywhere between 80K
to 120K in my bank account. 120K was my ceiling. Anything
beyond that, I'd unconsciously spend. 80K was my red
line. Oh, we need some more. Don't be in panic. Right? So
that was like my thing. And I want you to work out what's your red line, what's
(17:23):
your ceiling, what's my comfort zone. And then, right,
what happened over eight months, literally eight months of plugging into
these vibe boosters, like a religion, like
my life depended on it, like my income depended on it, like
my mission depended on it, because it did. I
increase my wealth by over 330%, right?
(17:45):
Meaning I took my bank balance to over fucking, I
think it was like over three or 400 K within eight months, which
is insane. Cause I wasn't doing anything different strategically. I wasn't touring
the world. I wasn't doing anything big. Like it wasn't more
action. In fact, I was doing the same strategically. I was
actually just changing my internal wealth set
(18:07):
point. And this is the magic of these tools. So, I mean.
I've got seven vibe boosters that you can buy on,
if you want to go on my Instagram, they're literally $7. They're called like
vibe boosters, if you want to taste and we cover different areas. I've
also got like 35 vibe boosters in my 5DU, in
my mastermind. I teach my clients how to make your own vibe boosters. Like
(18:30):
this is a game changer. So if you know that you are unconsciously
spending, or if you're sick and tired of making money and not knowing where it's
going, This is telling me that there is
a larger part of you that even though you say you consciously
want to shift into a new reality, you are gaining a
lot more safety because of the familiarity of
(18:51):
the current financial reality that
you're in. So it's time to change this, not by doing
more, but by shifting your internal state
of being. And it all starts with these vibe boosters
and so much more when you come into my world. So I trust you
got value from that. Work out what your ceiling is. Work out
(19:12):
what your red line is. Work out what your comfort zone is.
And then try to see what behaviors you do in between.
Is it that you're constantly launching when you're in red and you're in
panic zone? What would your reality look like if you
change the game? Because that's what I'm here to do. I'm really here to
help people create a healthy money buffer, be
(19:33):
a custodian for their money buffer. So this
translates in their personal brand, in their content and
what they're creating. And we change social media. We
change what we're consuming. We change the fucking world. I
