True story: a guy near me bought a tank.A real one. British, decommissioned, painted desert beige. Parked it in his driveway like it was a particularly aggressive SUV.Apparently, he drives it on weekends.He told me, “It’s the one thing no one else in the neighborhood has.”And that right there—that one sentence—is your marketing lesson of the week.Because the affluent don’t crave luxury. They crave distinction.That’s what I teach at GetWealthyClients.com—how to develop the kind of positioning that makes affluent prospects chase you.You’ll find programs, books, and trainings that show you how to shift from blending in to standing apart—without ever looking like you’re trying too hard.

The Most Expensive “Free Advice” Ever Given
There’s an old saying that “free advice is worth what you pay for it.” But in the affluent market, your free advice might actually cost you six figures.Every time you “just have a quick chat” or “offer a few thoughts,” you’re showing your cards without collecting a single ante.That might work in mass-market sales, where volume compensates for generosity. But in the high-net-worth world, scarcity is the asset. What’s rare commands respect.That’s why the best luxury advisors, consultants, and agents don’t give away their thinking. They sell access to it.If you’d like to learn how to do the same—how to lead with value without giving it away—visit GetWealthyClients.com. Inside you’ll find my programs and books on how to position your expertise so clients gladly pay for your insight, not just your time.
