In order to find your purpose and profit, you must make peace with white privilege. Dr. Venus had a huge realization recently when one of her viral videos spawned comments from the far right. She couldn't understand where this rhetoric and hate was coming from, but then it dawned on her. They get their news and information from such different sources that it's like trying to speak a whole other language with someone. What is clear to her is that profitability happens when you let something arise without making it about you, and you clear the energy that would block you from manifesting your millions and beyond. Simply put: dealing with White Privilege — especially UNSOLICITED Whiteness — can make you lose your religion. This week, it's "real talk" about setting personal boundaries, letting go of the need to change others, and understanding privilege as a business strategy in today's landscape.

Key Takeaways:
[4:48] Dr. Venus discusses the viral video of hers that made its way to some pretty extreme right-wing Trump supporters. They left comments harassing her for her looks, her beliefs, and continued to cite rhetoric she's heard before but couldn't understand where it came from. Until now.
[8:20] Each culture has distinctions and a language inside of it. For the far-right, they react to certain trigger words without really thinking their argument completely through.
[10:24] There are White people who understand that there is something inherently wrong in our society, but refuse to take any blame or admission. As Dr. Venus started to engage with a few of the more respectful people that left comments on the video, she understood something that gave her peace.
[11:01] These people are not listening to mainstream media. They aren't getting their information from the sources you may, so why would we expect them to have all the information we do and think the same way? When you get into an engagement, don't assume you are looking at the same media channels. The far-right have their own TV channels, podcasts, blogs, etc.
[16:15] "Dog Whistling" is an appeal or communication to a group when you are inside of that group.
[18:53] Stop acting like they are against you, when they are really just for them.
[19:11] It is a waste of your energy and power to try to change someone's beliefs. We live in a world where being White means having access to "having" or "not having". If you want your business to thrive, you need to know the landscape and what you are dealing with.
[20:42] Don't endow them with power, but you can respect what they say.
[21:54] When you stay angry and upset, your energy is blocked and you aren't able to receive the flow of money. Money is an energetic exchange, so while peace is an exquisite emotional experience, it is quite literally a necessary business strategy in 2021.
[24:09] If you are desperate and feel as though the world is against you, you are pushing money away.
[27:37] The trolls and haters have no power in the face of love. Instead of trying to correct them, set a personal boundary. You aren't accountable for changing someone's beliefs, but you are accountable for setting your own boundaries.
[30:52]Â In this social climate, you have to have a new level of emotional maturity to not get pulled into conversations that do not move you forward. I need your eye on the prize.
[33:26] The willingness to hear the world from another person's point of view without having it mean something about YOU gives you a window of influence. When you do this, you make room for miracles, even if you can't see them yet.
