A Week In The Life of a Millionaire Recruiter (Dubai Edition)

Vlog-style transcript of a multi-day “Elite Mastermind” event in Dubai led by James Blackwell and collaborators. Day 1 opens at the Waldorf Astoria with live in-person + Zoom setup, travel to The Palm, and an evening yacht networking session. Day 2 features speaker sessions (Stefan, Antoine, Lucy), a planned bootcamp (Antoine at 11am), and multiple leisure moments—tennis matches, dinners, nightlife—used to build relationships and mentor online fitness/business founders. Recurring themes: benefits of living in Dubai (safety, cleanliness, low tax), the compounding value of mastermind peer groups, and a lifestyle of high-net-worth socializing and competition (money bets, quick-win earnings mentions).
Maybe. And I never thought I would like to buy.
So today we are off to our day one of our elite Mastermind event in Dubai. So we're here at my new hometown in Dubai and we're heading off to the Palm. We're going to have an action packed couple of days so it's going to be great to see a lot of students that I've mentored over the last few months and some of them over a couple of years. We're going to wrap up today's session with a yacht. So that's going to be quite cool. I'm looking forward to the first day, so keep you posted and I'll catch you soon. So we've arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in the on. So for day one of the event and really looking forward to the day. It's a beautiful day, I think around 27 degrees of sun. So yeah, I'll keep you posted. So we're just doing the last minute preparations for the event now. So we've got some attendees just rocking up, which is exciting. Just trying to make sure all of the camera equipment work because we're doing it live, obviously in person, but also doing it live on zoom with other people around the world. So yeah, we should be starting in the next 10 minutes or so. I'm really excited. So what I would say, guys, if you just punch in force, if you can, just the closest and then one of you just take responsibility, order an Uber, type in Uber. Just type in PS7. Literally 15 minutes away.
The places in the world, Dubai would have been one of, one of the main places that people have gone. So if you think, look at how I, I don't know what it's like in Holland, but if you go to the UK and you go to other countries, going to Dubai is like one of the most common things. Now. How many people know from Holland or, or the UK that are now here? I personally know five people. Yeah. Half of my clients at least have either and they all online fitness trainers, they're either here or they want to move here. So the three you think of three things. Safety, cleanliness and low tax. Like there are very few places in the world that can match Dubai with those three things. And I never thought I would like Dubai. I thought it would be flashy, I thought it would be. I actually thought it was kind of like tacky and stuff. And when I got here I'm like, it's so cle. So safe and it's tax free.
Probably the biggest impact has been meeting Chris and we've got a good friendship group of other people that we sort of mastermind every single week, don't we, Chris? And I think that's had the biggest impact. Not just the tax savings and the lifestyle, but definitely just who we surround ourselves with. And we're always motivating and inspiring and sharing ideas and helping each other grow all the time. And you can't really put a price on that because that just compounds over time. So you imagine that compounding with a happier lifestyle, with environment and the sun safely, so you're not worrying subconsciously. And the tax benefits. That's why you can 5x10x your net worth so much faster than anywhere else in the world.
Yeah, on that, on that, on that, on that, on that, on that, on that. We on out of on that.
So we're just wrapping up day one. As you can see, we're here on the yacht. Everyone's having a good time. We've had a few drinks. Really good to mastermind with everyone. I think everyone's enjoying the event so far. I have not been drinking because I want you to stay fresh tomorrow and shop. But I think everyone else is probably going to go into the night tonight into Dubai and probably party a little bit. But we start fresh 10am tomorrow and we'll be coming up here too. So this is the morning of day two of the Elite Mastermind event. Just making a coffee now and then I'm waiting for my friend Stefan, so he's gonna be doing a talk this morning. So last night was a bit of a messy one for a lot of them. So I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be seeing who's actually gonna be turning up on time, looking sharp, asking questions because obviously we want to dive in. I was quite good. So I only had one drink and then sparking water. Yeah. Really excited for today because we got Stefan speaking. I've got my friend Antoine doing seven figure fitness and then Lucy himself will be doing a session as well. So, yeah. Looking forward to today, Tom. I feel great. And you told me you got back at what, 5am yeah, because I had to walk 35 minutes. You were that drunk. The taxi drivers didn't think I'd be there. No, there were no taxi anymore. Like, there's my hotel. And like, re said, guy said, no, that's not your hotel. And I was like convinced it was my hotel, but it wasn't. So I walked in. I'm like, yeah, that's not my hotel. I may be wrong, but never in doubt.
I've been blowing through the money like you're growing trees. I've been on a French c' est la vie. I just put them on a jet now they all Italian way. I'm dressed until I been to a th000.
So we've just, just finished this morning's session. We're breaking for lunch now. Stefan did a fantastic talk and gave us so much value which probably you'll see on the recordings. So we're gonna have some lunch and then we've got Antoine doing seven figure fitness. Yeah, it's gonna be a fun session this afternoon.
Shorty says she graduated. She ain't learning enough.
So that's a wrap. Day two is finished. That was a long session today. It was a good probably nine, 10 hours. It was awesome. Everyone seemed to get great value. So now we driving back, going to get a quick shower and changed and then we're going to go to West Palm beach and hopefully I think a few of them are staying and we're going to go grab some dinner and just relax now. So last night I didn't drink, so maybe now I'll have a couple of drinks to celebrate. Relax. But we actually have doing. We're actually going to be doing a bootcamp session with antoine tomorrow at 11am so let's see how many people turn up tomorrow for that session, which will be cool. Yeah. So maybe you'll catch some clips soon tonight, see how tonight goes. I be. So we're gonna do a work. So we're literally up Dubai Harbour and this is like a free workspace for like workouts. Antoine's gonna be kind enough to give us a run through of exactly how to break a sweat. I think pretty much what five people have turned up out of the 25 or 26. So it's a good, good shot. The elite of the elite. Uncommon against uncommon men and women. James told me it was compulsory. That's true.
Let's get it. Let's go.
Good job, guys. It's one working, one resting. Okay. I don't want that on camera. We're both the most proactive. Like we're always asking questions, like logical questions, not stupid questions. That's what I have with, with James. It's like do it. No, no discussion. Just do what he says. That's it. So just how you do everything when you, when you so like turning up today when you hung over, oh, you guys showed up. So that's how you get the better results. That's why you'll be more successful than I. Those little Things you do these little habits because you're training your mind and muscle all the time. Like you can't cop out, you can't make an excuse. He's doing it whether you like it or not. It's got the new M2 chip on. So we'll go for this one. Oh my God. Give a good boss, eh? He's all right.

So this is the time I need to start getting lessons cuz I've given my head start for the last two, three months. So I haven't been playing at all. He's been playing like three times a week.
