A former member of a secret society says sex drive and wealth come from the same place. The hunger that keeps people up at night, he says, is the same hunger that builds empires. The man is Kevin Trudeau, and he says it plainly: those who create a lot in life have a large sexual drive as well. Sexual energy is creative energy, and making money is just another way to spend it, the same as painting, cooking or building anything at all. What separates the builders from everyone else is what they do with that energy before it’s gone. Trudeau calls it transmutation. Take a strong desire and push it into work, a business or a deal, and that work suddenly has “a lot of juice behind it.” Things move faster and come to fruition stronger. He claims the super wealthy don’t rely on business plans at all, but on rituals like this one, passed down in the secret society he says he was part of. Of all the rituals he learned there, this was the one he was most excited to practice. The idea isn’t new. In 1937, Napoleon Hill gave a whole chapter of Think and Grow Rich to “sex transmutation,” and generations of salesmen have read it since. Trudeau adds a warning Hill mostly skipped: with very powerful people, the same drive can turn into a slippery slope. The fuel is the same, and the only question is whether it ends up in a bedroom or a bank account. So the next time it’s 2 AM and you’re too wired to sleep, open the laptop instead of the apps, and save this post for that night.
