13 Steps I Took to Move Up in Class - Social Strategy for Women *Level Up Lesson*

[@themodernmuse4u]

- working out consistently - self dates / activities alone - engaging in conversation with people who are different than me - listening to audio books while doing mindless activities (work out, cleaning, driving ect) - no pointless dating / sex - quickly ending dating Men who do not meet MY bare minimum standards - volunteer work, helping others - solo travel trips - making men pay for things / or using other people’s money and resources to get things done - thinking outside the box - significantly cut back / limit drinking!!!

Studies say women with degrees increase their chances of marriage. Also having a job online allows black women to travel more. I remember a black woman who worked online and traveled to different countries. She went to Italy and met a handsome Italian man and he married her. Her job and being able to travel exposed her more to different cultures and races of people. She's happy and found a good man and I'm happy for her.

I'm eight years too late. I have three babies, which I had in the Marine Corps, but I didn't allow anything to get in the way of my education. I'm going through a divorce and enrolled in my last semester in school with a 3.5 GPA. With that being said, ladies, life happens. Do not quit on your goals when life gets challenging. Take responsibility for your actions when you make a mistake, forgive yourself, and move forward. You all are beautiful and worthy of all wonderful things in this lifetime, no matter your skin color, how much money you have, or where you come from! I love this video so much! 💝🌷

[@phalynwilliams4119]

@@jadaweary4546, I am so sorry to hear this. If your friend wants to effectively move forward from the dusty baby daddy trap 🪤 she can but it will take more time and effort to do so. She will have to first upgrade her mindset. You need to be very careful and consider befriending women who are more focused on leveling up. You may want to consider distancing yourself from your friend. Otherwise, she may pull you down along beside her. This happens. Good luck and God bless you. ❤

As a person who has completely leveled up I approve this message. A female CEO once told me men will go for promotions when they’re 50% qualified to do the job while women tend to wait until they’re 85% qualified. This keeps us at lower levels and earning less. I never forgot this when I went out for promotions. She was right. I got every one I wanted and a higher salary than what was initially offered. Ask for more money and reach for the higher position. Most likely you’re far more qualified than others around you.

Live below your means ladies!!!! If you take nothing else, please do this. My husband and I do very well ourselves now but for most of my 20’s when everyone went on endless brunches and bought be outfits for every trip and event, I proudly re-wore my clothes in new ways and skipped brunch/dinners. Now in our 30’s, some of those folks are in debt trying to keep up this lifestyle for almost two decades. Learn from this, there’s no need to keep up with people on social or those in your friend group.

I’ve been around for 6 decades and have retired from two jobs. I’ve also been fortunate to work with people in the 7 figure area. As you know, you take NOTHiNG w you when you die at an underdetermined time. My point: I’ve watched people, including family members and peers, save and save & invest, and save only to die and leave all their wealth for someone else to enjoy. Kids brag about their parents leaving them money and no sooner than parents are buried, “many” not all, go on lavish shopping spears buying luxury cars, taking lavish vacations, etc. I’ve worked w people who give their 10 year old grandchildren 5-10k for birthday presents saying “what else am I going to do with my money?” I’ve also watched men’s wives day and w/in 6 months to a year after the wife’s death, men have younger wives and girlfriends lavishing them w whatever they ask for. Women whose husbands die, I’ve seen them do the same. In my own family I’ve seen the same behavior. I say”Live life to the fullest and prepare for retirement as you do not know your day of death!”

I decided to level up when I grew up around yt people and saw the things they obtained. Even if they weren’t college educated and I know about systematic racism and such but I knew there was more out there than what was available in my neighborhood. I abstained from sex until I finished my degree and lived in a low income neighborhood so I could buy a home. It took years but the process is different for everyone. Also, dating out allowed for many fun experiences.

To level up, I acquired cultural capital....Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Klimpt, to name a few. I travel to see some of the reknown works of these masters. Read, remembered, and can discuss the classics, i.e. The Scarlet Letter. Traveled to see some of the modern wonders. Enculturation enables one to be in new audiences without having to "code switch." I AM the programmer of my experience.

[@Bloombaby99]

Another way to level up is increasing your knowledge of different languages and different cultures. I cannot tell you how many people I've impressed because I "knew a little French" or could converse about Moroccan tea and coffee cultures and customs. Well cultured and knowledgeable black women are a rare treat to those we associate with.

[@girlnuhuh]

Things I’m doing to move up in class: 1. Getting my doctorate currently. It’ll pay itself back in two years with the immediate pay increase I’ll get at work. 2. Networking outside of my organization in case I decide I want to pivot. 3. Watering friendships that water me. 4. Learning my human design, and using astrology and my faith source to also keep myself grounded and yes, manifestation is real and we gotta learn how to tap into our gifts individually. 5. Save where I can, like doing my own hair, matching my clothes in new ways to avoid new purchases.

- I got a divorce ( best decision I could have ever made) - I am child free. Children are the biggest complicator for women especially when the father is absent and does not support - I worked and continue to work on me and I allow spirit to signal to me what it is I need to do. - I stopped being afraid of being me. I have always been feminine. I just lended in and used it for my benefit. People won’t like it and that’s ok. It has made my life incredibly easier. - Speaking of people : Study people. All types. I read about human behavior constantly and it has helped me tremendously. - Be willing as Chrissie said to be ok with a hard time for a season. Don’t fight against it. Flow with it. When we flow with life the answer comes. - Reject everything that does not align with your life vision, even if it seems hard.

I want to go to whole foods and the farmers market and buy all the fancy organic produce I want. I want to retire my mother in a beautiful luxury house. I want to have the freedom to go to the symphony and the jazz clubs on the weekends. I want to wear my cute, understated 300 dollar pastel linen dresses without feeling guilty.

Once again Chrissie you give a mindblowing video full of promising advice. One of the first things I did when I leveled up was move away from the black community. I love my people, but some black folks are simply not good to have in your space. Next, as much as it hurt me I needed to let go of childhood friends that I knew would forever be stuck on the plantation of pain poverty, and struggle love. Finally, I made the choice to do better, and be better, and be very selective about what type of women I befriend, and what type of men I choose to have in my life. In addition to all that I got my money, mind, and body right. Leveling up is a deep process but once you get it done you're good to go.

I live six minutes close to the beach and my biggest expense is my $1800 rent that just increased to $1900 because I renewed my lease. I just bought my second LV bag, and I’m 31. I love luxury items, but they’re not a priority. I used to spread my level up journey, but instead of ppl being happy for you, they’ll despise you.

Everything you mentioned, I’ve either done already, in the process currently or is on the agenda to do. To the point where it’s scary but in a good way. I’m on the right track and it’s nice to hear your advice as reassurance ❤️

Be selective about the men you date, have mutiple streams of income and develop soft skills

Thank you Chrissie!! I’m in my 20s and this couldn’t have come at a more perfect time; A fellow INTJ woman here so this gives me hope that I can learn the right skills and leverage them to keep moving up!! 🎉❤

[@jasmineknight9143]

Hey Chrissie! I remember when I was first introduced to your channel, you had this femininity how-to playlist that addressed everything from clothes, shoes, hair, language, etc. I know you moved a lot of your videos. Can you make those playlists available again? I could really use a refresher.

I'm a creative type so after this year If my art doesn't sell I'll have to go back to another style of work for awhile which I'm okay with. I'm definitely trying to plan on what to do for my older years now that I just want to focus building a smooth path to contentment for the golden girl living I'm planning for. Chrissie you are definitely helping us with things we might not think of ❤

[@yeahimashley9515]

I’m a creative too. I want to sell paintings for a living but I don’t know how well that will work for me… I’m going to shoot for a career in arts administration like working in a museum or something. Keep your options open and don’t be a starving artist however you create💗

[@dominique2o06]

[@mzsbrown2844]

Great advice Chrissie!! Under networking, I would add joining professional and high level social organizations. A game changer for me was pledging a D9 organization. I instantly had a tribe of like minded black women that encouraged me, supported me, pushed me and help develop many skills that I possess today. I am also an active alumni of the university I attended. Other organizations that helped me on my level up journey were Black MBA Association, National Association of Black Accountants, NextUp Women Empowerment, etc. As you make more money, be more intentional about where you travel as well. Yes, I travel overseas and to the islands but I also vacation in Martha’s Vineyard and the Hamptons. I have gone skying in the Poconos. These are great places to meet likeminded people that can open doors for you.

All hail the Queen Christina! ❤😊

[@ninagrace-lee8323]

Recommendation - Can we get a video on black women and passive income outside of influencing? I’m seeing a lot of women using their luxury apartments and lifestyles to become influencers but we aren’t considering the other paths to creating passive streams of income.

One of the biggest things that get in my way regarding my level up journey is I procrastinate to avoid change. I have done this every time I am expected to transition to the next level. I have my "little" license and have been approved to take the test for my "big" license and refuse to study. My C.V. in my field is very diverse and would definitely land me a better paying job but I keep telling myself the reason I haven't applied anywhere else is because I am in the last year of getting the remainder of my student loans paid off (which is true). I need to read more books on complacency and procrastination. I am allowing others to make decisions for me when I wait until I am forced to make a move. I keep hoping for a mentor because I am definitely needing some support.

[@intriguedowl3823]

What field are you in ?

[@sydlaw2941]

@@intriguedowl3823 Psychology

[@intriguedowl3823]

@@sydlaw2941oh ok . What works for me when I have a big test to take Is to sign up for a prep class. It forces me to be on a schedule to study . If it is financially feasible I recommend it. Also finding a study partner helps . Find a social media group who might be on the sane path and their topic might be motivation .
