Hey royals,

This week, someone told me I could be jailed and caned.

Yes. Caned.

Because I said someone made close to $100k in 3 months.

Let me explain.

Someone asked: "How do I convince CEOs to sign POs for speaking without guaranteed ROI?"

Which is actually a very basic business question.

Why does anyone hire anyone?

Because:

Simple economics.

If a trainer upskills a team without increasing headcount, that's cheaper than hiring 3 more employees.

Outsource vs. insource.
Cost vs. return.

This is not mystical.

It's business.

Understanding logic ≠ executing skills.

Knowing English ≠ writing like Shakespeare.

You learn English for 10 years in school.
But most of us could already speak in primary one.

The difference?

Practice.
Application.
Exposure.
Repetition.

The same goes for selling speaking.

You can understand the theory in one paragraph.
But mastering positioning, pitching, lead generation, and negotiation?
That's applied skill.

And applied skill compounds.

I referenced Grace.

She generated $89k.

Is that guaranteed for everyone?

No.

I also said:

That's not a promise. That's spectrum reality.

Action = variance.
No action = certainty (zero).

But here's what fascinated me.

The response wasn't, "How did she do it?"
It was: "That sounds like a scam. You can go to jail."

Let's be honest.

When someone has spoken English for 50 years, studied in the US, used LLMs to write speeches, and still cannot see how to monetise, then hearing someone else do "close to 100k" in 3 months feels offensive.

Because it challenges identity.

It implies:

It's about positioning. It's about sales psychology. It's about action.

And that is uncomfortable.

So the brain protects itself.

"If I can't do it, it must be fake."

Here's the business truth.

High-income speakers don't sell speeches.

They sell:

If you walk in saying, "Pay me to speak."

You lose.

If you walk in saying, "Here's how your attrition drops 12% after this training."

Now you're in business.

That gap - between knowing and executing - is what we train.

Not English.
Not confidence.
Commercial positioning.

Can someone build $100k in 3 months?

Yes.

Can someone build $1k in 3 months?

Also yes.

Can someone build nothing?

Very yes.

Income follows:

In that order.

The most dangerous mindset isn't scepticism.

It's ego disguised as scepticism.

There's nothing wrong with saying, "I don't believe I can do it yet."
But saying: "If I can't, no one can."

That's projection.

And projection kills growth.

This week, I reaffirmed something.

I will never shrink results to protect someone's comfort.

If someone in our circle earns $89k, we celebrate.

We analyse it.

We replicate what's replicable.

We don't criminalise ambition.

If you want to learn how to:

You know where the door is: Speakers Society.
(Check out our new programme: Speakers Society Launchpad.)

Because speaking English for 50 years is not the same as monetising your voice.

Execution isn't.

And business rewards execution.

Always.

Now let me ask you something, royal.

When you hear someone's success story, do you get curious? Or defensive?

That answer will predict your income.

Reply and tell me.

P.S. Seraphina says: The market doesn't jail you for big numbers. It ignores you for small positioning.

XOXO,

Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”

If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.

Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.

The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.

The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*

Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.

How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.

Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.
