Abu Lahya watched a wealthy client spend freely to make more money, then shifted his own mindset from keeping expenses under $600 a month to buying high-end Apple gear as "gear investment." He argues expensive education programs work only if you actually use them, citing someone who earned $800K after completing one.

I had a client, a Chinese client that lived in the US. He one day had a conference to go to in Belgium. So I was like, okay, swing by France 2 days before and we'll meet. IMA client, one of the guys that was running campaigns, he had food, dinner, and all of that. And there I saw how he was spending money to make more money. That's the first time I clicked, because I had money, but I would literally spend less than $600 a month making like $25K. Like, I was so scared because I was like, I can live, I can make money without spending it, let me not spend it. I make $25K a month, I have this tabend laptop, the new Mac costs $2,500. I could probably make a of the new Mac, but like, should I buy it? Like, would it make sense? And he was like, bro, come on.
So I went to the Apple Store and it was the first time I felt rich in my life. Really? As to buy it?
To buy it? No, because I went there and I was like, okay, mindset shift, it makes sense. So I picked the new iPhone, I picked the new Mac, and I left like a proper gentleman with Apple, Apple, um, bags. One thing I keep saying makes sense to invest is gear investment, like laptops, phones.
Essentially is investing into yourself, really.
So the best investment they always say is like investing into yourself. It's not just your skill set and whatever. Yeah, it's your gear. I was always scared to buy more expensive gear, and I always did it, and I never regretted it.
As long as you just are doing something, it's very rare. I've never actually regretted an investment in buying better equipment. Equipment? No, equipment Education. The thing is, you have to use it. So if you buy education, then you have to do what it tells you.
Yeah, even for example, you look at the program. The program is very expensive. Yesterday we had a guy that said he made $800K out of the program. Like, if you see that, it's just like, oh yeah, it makes sense. Then you see like hundreds of other people made money, but then you're like, the only thing they did is use it. There's some tabang guy is going to join, not make any money because he doesn't use it. Yeah, same thing. I could charge $100K for the program. If you're gonna use it, apply every single thing, you're gonna make money. I just can't charge $100
