HOW TO

Embody your brand


IN GENERAL:
  • Know that you protect the world from chaos, your people need you! 
  • Be strong in your leadership, don’t shy away from it 
  • Be consistent, to give your tribe a sense of security and stability
  • Inspire your tribe to believe that they can excel with the right strategies
  • Prioritize quality over quantity
  • Always be on time and display good manners
  • Be well connected
  • Associate your brand with other famous/ elite brands or personalities
  • Belong to or create prestigious groups/ societies
YOUR ROLE:
  • Create clear policies and procedures 
  • Maintain a sense of order so your members feel safe and taken care of
  • Be very clear that YOU make the rules and as long as they follow them they will succeed
  • Show up in service, explain how maintaining order and clarity is in everyone’s best interest
  • Lead by example, model what's possible
  • Build a resource library of credible sources you can share with your tribe whenever needed - best products, best services, best events to attend
IN YOUR COMMUNICATION:
  • Be articulate, formal/ semi-formal/ professional
  • Seek to be well informed
  • Speak about your mission: you want to leave a legacy
  • Post about your lifestyle as a way to inspire in your people what’s possible
  • Post about how you hold yourself to high standards - your goal setting process, your daily practices, how you show up in your communication with others
  • Speak about your loyalty and commitment to your dreams and ideas, and demand the same from your clients
  • Talk about what makes you best at what you do: your achievements, your training, your life experiences
  • Tell your hero’s journey focusing on where you started and where you are now, not so much on the in-between pain points
  • Avoid expressing too much self-doubt and being self-deprecating, it can make your tribe feel fearful
  • Talk about your weaknesses sparingly, this will make you believable and likable
  • Don’t apologize for your success and wealth
  • Take responsibility for your actions and your mistakes
PERSONALLY:
  • Take care of your needs in your personal relationships. Leaders are not always liked, and they can develop a tough exterior which can harden their heart. Nurture yourself with people who like and accept you when your leader hat is off.
  • Choose your mentors wisely, it tends to be lonely at the top, and jealous people make poor mentors 
  • Get used to jealousy, it comes naturally with the power and success you’ve worked so hard to build

A personal note from Alina:

The Ruler archetype is the second archetype of my brand and the one that inspires my sense of style. Therefore, it gets some extra air time and an extended page. 

I never thought my humble Magician and my upper class Ruler would ever make friends, but they have. I am very happy to share with you the qualities of this majestic archetype, because I want you to feel fully comfortable embodying it when others may disapprove of your ways. You have great power and ability to hold space, and your tribe needs you. 

Rulers come in many shapes and forms. You don't need to be extra rich or wear designer clothes and diamonds to be a Ruler. A Ruler is a leader, a visionary, a big thinker. Someone who sets high standards and leads by example. The more you discover the ways in which you empower all of those around you through your natural gifts, the more powerful and valued you will be.
