From being a guest on Stephen Bartlett's number one ranked podcast, Bethany, why is this so important and what does

that mean? to last week sitting in a room with one of the richest people on the planet, Jensen Wong.

We achieved a $4 trillion market value.

I've spent hundreds of hours in rooms with billionaires, founders, and performers in the top 0 .01%.

And being around these people rewired my brain.

My new way of thinking took me from being a college dropout to a multi -millionaire.

And here's what I've learned from meeting five of them.

Things that I either loved or completely hated.

despise some of these people or how they act, you can still steal their secrets for your own life.

Starting with Anastasia Soiree.

The top 1 % hold their space no matter what room they're in.

I was recently at an event where a sub portion of the event was highlighting books that speakers wrote.

And one of the books they were highlighting was Anastasia Soiree's book, which was unbelievable because that meant that she was going to be there to do an interview.

I had so many wins and I had was a sub event inside a massive conference.

I don't think the planners really thought about the fact

that they were putting a billionaire in a tiny room that had no more than 40 seats and wasn't very well publicized.

So I got to this room after having met Anastasia the night before, and there was only 15 people there.

The crazy thing is that normally you don't get within 50 feet of these people.

And now there were 20 of us within five feet of each other.

But here's the part that stuck with me.

she acted as if there were thousands of people in that room.

She was completely unfazed.

She didn't make it seem like this was in any way disappointing, like it was a waste of her time.

She brought the exact same presence to 20 people that she would have brought to if thousands were there.

And my takeaway was that, This is her operating standard.

If you have a standard, you do not let your environment shrink your standard.

You always operate at that standard.

But most people hype themselves up to match the level of the room that they're entering.

If they're performing for a small audience, their level of effort plummets.

Stepping out into a large stage, suddenly they bring everything that they've got.

But the top 0 .01%, they operate from their standards.

They're constantly going further faster because their standard comes from within them, not from whatever is happening around them.

means that they don't allow for their performance to be affected by anyone or anything outside of their control.

So if you want to operate like that, stop waiting for the perfect moment to give your full effort.

Stop saving your best self for the big room or the next big presentation at work.

Show up the same way at dinner with eight people as you would with a podcast for 30 listeners, as you would with a meeting with your team where there's only three people there.

Over time, you get used to holding a certain amount of space for yourself.

And if you let it get small, not guess about the richest people out there.

They aren't required to be assholes.

I was in an event recently with Jensen Huang.

If you don't know him, he is the CEO of NVIDIA, and he's currently worth $185 billion.

That makes him the eighth richest person on the planet.

We fundamentally changed computing in the way how computing is done.

By every measure, this is a guy who has earned the right to be distant, distracted, and kind of all above it.

And honestly, nobody would blame him.

met.

He was present.

He was thoughtful and kind in a way that didn't feel performative at all.

He really didn't have to be, but it was evident that that's who he chose to be because that's who he is.

And meeting him broke the stereotype that I didn't even realize that I was carrying.

We've been told this idea that to make it to the top, you have to be cold, sharp elbowed, and willing to walk over people.

And as a woman, I sometimes feel like I have to make myself sharper to prove a point.

But what I kept seeing in these rooms is that some of the most wealthy people on the planet and decent people.

And sure, some of them are genuinely awful to be around.

But the money had nothing to do with which one they ended up being.

That is a personal call.

The media pushes this idea that wealth buys you a license to be a jerk.

We've all seen the social media millionaires who drive around in their fancy cars, who are rude to every person that helps them, including their family.

But the top 0 .01 % have learned to leverage what the common person thinks is optional the

also pays to be good to people.

Deals come down to people.

So if you're chasing this kind of life, remember that you get to decide who you become along the way.

You don't have to lose your warmth or your smile to grow your bank account.

The two things are entirely disconnected, and there are real examples of people out there who are wildly successful and still good humans.

So pick the version of successful that you actually want to be and then become that person.

The next mindset you can steal from the wealthy is the way that you handle the small things is

people compromise on both.

I've been business partners with Grant Cardone since 2019, and I've watched him build a multi -billion dollar real estate portfolio,

sell out arenas, and close deals on his terms that most people just wouldn't believe.

But the moment that actually changed the way I think had nothing to do with any of that.

It was at a Starbucks.

Grant ordered a coffee, it came back wrong, and he sent it back.

Most people in that situation would just drink it.

worth the hassle.

It's just coffee.

Don't be that person.

Grant sent it back without thinking twice and then he got it the second time and it was still wrong.

What do you think he did?

He sent it back.

At first glance, this might seem ridiculous.

It's coffee. Who cares?

But that moment stuck with me

because I started watching him do the exact same thing in rooms where millions of dollars were on the table.

The same energy, the same certainty, the same refusal to accept something that wasn't what he asked for.

I've sat in meetings with Grant where partners were pushing across the table, we're trying to get him to bend, and he just doesn't.

Not because he's difficult, because he knows exactly what he wants.

He's certain about what it needs to look like, and he's not going to pretend that he's okay with something that he's not okay with.

And here's what most people get wrong.

They think that compromise is professionalism.

They think that saying yes, when they mean no, is how you keep deals alive, how you keep relationships smooth, how you keep things moving.

But that's what I've learned watching Grant, is that every time you compromise on something you actually care about, you're not being professional.

You're training yourself not

The reason that Greg can walk into any room with that level of certainty isn't because he was born with it.

It's because he's built it.

Every time he's refused to accept less than what he wanted, even on the small stuff, even on a coffee, he was reinforcing his own belief in his own standards.

That's the part that people miss.

Stop compromising on the things that actually matter to you just because you're afraid of being difficult.

Stop drinking the wrong coffee.

Stop saying that's fine when it's not fine.

100

walk away.

101

Let them walk away.

102

The strength to hold your own ground on a billion dollar deal doesn't show up out of nowhere.

103

It gets built in every small moment where you either stand by what you want or you don't.

104

And this can start with the little things like saying the thing that you think in the meeting, like not nodding along when you actually disagree.

105

Because every time you hold the line on something small, you build the muscle you need when the stakes are massive.

106

And the people who win the biggest deals close the hardest negotiations and build things that everyone wishes

107

you from the brains of the most successful people on the planet is probably the hardest skill to actually pull off.

108

The world's top performers are also the best at saying no, and they never feel bad about it.

109

I put together a list of top podcast guests that I want to have within the next 12 months.

110

And just a few weeks ago, I was at an event where I was on my way to listen to this presentation.

111

And to my right, I saw Brad Gerstner.

112

And if you don't know who Brad Gerstner is, you - He runs Altimeter Capital, which manages billions of dollars,

113

and was an early investor in companies like Snowflake and Grab.

114

- We're close to the end.

115

of what has been the most parabolic rate hike cycle in

116

the last 50 years in this country that's been hugely destabilizing the financial market.

117

He is on the forefront of talking about AI.

118

So when I walked past him, I thought, this is my shot.

119

Instead of cold emailing him, I'm just going to introduce myself.

120

So he was talking to somebody and I waited about 15 minutes for my window to talk to him.

121

And when I finally got it, the conversation lasted maybe 90 seconds.

122

He said something like, send me an email with the show details and my team will look it over.

123

We get a lot of pitches.

124

That was it.

125

Now, let's be clear.

126

show eventually.

127

That will happen because I am completely relentless.

128

But that's not the point.

129

The point is this.

130

He didn't feel a drop of guilt about saying no to me.

131

He didn't soften it.

132

He didn't apologize.

133

He didn't pretend like he was going to make it happen.

134

And honestly, it was the right call for him.

135

He's running a massive fund.

136

He's getting asked to do a podcast and appearances every single day.

137

People pitch him constantly.

138

And if he said yes to every person who waited 15 minutes for a conversation, he would get nothing done.

139

So his no is what protects everything that's place.

140

Most people I know can even say no to bad things.

141

Their friend asks them to go out to the club on Friday night and they say yes, even though they feel exhausted.

142

Family asks them to do something and instead of doing the work that they wanted to do, they cave and just say yes.

143

They've just never built that muscle of saying no. Meanwhile, people at the top realize that you have to start saying no to good things to build what you want.

144

Things that look like opportunities, the kinds of things that most people would jump at.

145

Because the top 0 .01 % live by this rule, fit the vision, saying yes is actually a cost.

146

So if you want to build something serious, you have to get so comfortable with actually disappointing people.

147

Not in a rude way, just in a clear way.

148

Start saying no to the plans that you don't actually want to be at.

149

Say no to the projects that don't move your life forward.

150

Say no to the meetings and the favors that drain you.

151

Every yes you give is a no to something else.

152

And the most successful people in the world are extremely picky about where their yes goes.

153

And the last lesson is one I had to learn the hard way.

154

Last year, Diary of the CEO, which is one of the world's biggest podcasts.

155

I started the podcast because I believed in the medium of podcasting to communicate ideas

156

and to tell stories and to connect with an audience.

157

I walked out of that recording feeling incredible.

158

There are moments of the conversation I genuinely loved, things I was proud of, things I couldn't wait for the world to hear.

159

But when the episode actually aired, it was edited.

160

The parts that I cared about most got completely cut out on the final version.

161

And my realization was that's how every big media works.

162

When you're the guest, you don't control the cut.

163

And it hit me in that moment because I realized that I lost control of my own narrative.

164

Someone else had decided which version of me the audience would see, and I had zero say in it.

165

The top 0 .01%, they refused to let anyone else write their story.

166

Everyone says content is king, but that's only half true.

167

Content is the asset.

168

Distribution is the leverage.

169

And if your distribution runs through someone else's filter, my own audience, my own edit,

170

so that no matter what conversation I want to have, nobody can cut the part that I care about most.

171

And if you're building anything, a business, a brand, a career, and you want to operate at the highest level, you have to control your own narrative.

172

Stop putting your voice in the hands of other people who want to change it and take control of your story.

173

You have to start creating your platform where no one else can ever filter you.

174

Because when you build the thing, you control it.

175

A newsletter, an email list, a podcast, a direct relationship with the care about.

176

It doesn't have to be massive.

177

It just has to be yours.

178

Because every other lesson I share in this video doesn't matter

179

if someone else gets to decide the version of you the world actually sees.

180

If you want more on how the wealthiest people actually think, I have a full video breaking down the money rules I've picked up over the years.

181

I'll link it right here.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
