You don't need to pay $1000 (especially during these times with the pandemic, job uncertainty etc). I have some spare time right now so I thought I would unpick the different modules she is selling in her new course to let anyone who is reading this and considering purchasing this course know that you DON'T NEED IT!
What she's teaching you ISN'T a big secret that you need to pay someone that much for to tell you.
The 'persona' she's teaching you is be gracious, polite, feminine, ladylike, well spoken, well informed about current affairs, charming, personable, easy to talk to, provide some kind of use/skill for rich people around so that they will have a reason to continue to want to interact with you (this could be a business contact, a skill, being a good listener, being a good friend etc), have basic knowledge of etiquette (which there are many youtube videos of people with elegant diplomas that can teach you). Of course these are good traits to have, but watching her videos WON'T instil these traits in you. You have to work on yourself outside of her videos. The more you read (books, news articles, journals, anything you can get your hands on), interact with others, travel, get in touch with your feminine side (watching old hollywood films e.g. anything with audrey hepburn, made for eachother - carole lombard, the baroness and the butler, mahogany - Diana Ross etc really shows what traditional femininity looks like), the more you will cultivate these skills.
She says she will go through the law of attraction technique (LOA) and after she used this technique for 30 days, she got her man that she is with today. I've got news for you: practicing exactly what Anna 'did' won't find you the man of your dreams. If you are interested in LOA and carrying this out, again you don't need Anna's course. There are HUNDREDS of videos on youtube of people talking about how they practice LOA and what they have manifested - I doubt what they say will be too different to Anna's groundbreaking knowledge.
Fashion - know your bodyshape and dress to flatter that. That's all she will tell you. She's not going to personally talk to you and give you advice to tell you what your exact body shape is and what colours will suit you. To get PERSONALISED information for YOU, you need to go to a stylist (e.g. stylemeUK) or perhaps a personal shopper. I know on Groupon (before Covid-19, anyway) you could purchase a session with a colour stylist where they would tell you about what colours work on you etc and it cost less than £50. Other places may vary. What I'm saying is though, the information about fashion in Anna's course (or for that matter any fashion video which is not talking DIRECTLY to YOU will only be giving you generalised information).
Being well groomed - this goes without saying
I agree with Anna, therapy is invaluable. In my opinion everyone should get therapy in an ideal world. It helps you learn so much about yourself, how you think and how to cultivate healthy thinking habits which will improve your relationships (both romantic and non-romantic). If you ever have the opportunity to take some therapy, I say take it. To my knowledge, therapy isn't being offered in this course and if anything if you have $1000 to spare I would use that for therapy rather than this course.
Dating - from reading Ginie Sayles books about dating (though she talks about dating rich men, the things she says can be applied to any man) I found really valuable information about how to carry yourself in relationships. Also like Ginie advices, the more you date the more successful you will be. Your first date right now doesn't have to be with your dream man, just get yourself out there (whether that's through dating apps, asking your friends to introduce you to someone, going to new classes, volunteering etc) the better you will become and the smoother you will be in terms of talking to men with more finesse. I've seen this countless times with women around me in real life, those that date more (note: date - this doesn't mean you need to sleep with these men at all, unless of course you want to) are more successful at it. They're more confident with dating too. I would strongly encourage anyone who hasn't read this already, to read the seduction mystique by Ginie Sayles if you haven't done so already. It really changed my mindset about men and dating, setting boundaries in dating, for the better and I have seen its positive effects first hand. (I promise I have no affiliation with Ginie Sayles)
Adopting millionnaire mindset - excellent books on amazon about this. Also some great youtube vids too (there's more of course but these are just a few)
Personal branding - Anna says that simply watching youtube videos on these topics isn't the same as hearing what she has to say as she is this expertise on elegance and has this knowledge about high society. Not true. What will you be doing when you watch her videos in her course? Basically watching the equivalent of a youtube video (which you will have paid for and as a result are more likely to listen to because you've invested more into it than simply clicking onto a free youtube video).

Being well groomed - this goes without saying
- well maintained hair (trimmed every couple of months, no roots, use hair masks/good shampoo/conditioner for nice looking hair)
- maintaining healthy weight - diet and exercise
- Applying makeup tastefully - you can go to department stores and the people who work at the makeup counters at the different brands are always helpful (especially if it is not busy at the time) to show you how to apply foundation, concealer, bronzer, eyebrow pencil correctly and well) alternatively you can watch youtube tutorials on your desired technique as well.
- Always making sure your clothes are ironed/steamed, trimming any loose threads, using lint roller if needs be, no stains or rips
- skincare - cleanser, moisturiser and SPF 50 (in the mornings). In the evenings ALWAYS take your makeup off (a lot of dermatologists recommend double cleansing to ensure everything has come off). If you have spots/blackheads - use Adapalene or another retinoid e.g. tretinoin every night consistently before applying moisturiser in the evenings.
- If you're looking for any recommendations, here are some by a board certified dermatologist:
- Cleanser:
- Moisturiser:
- SPF 50:
- If you're looking for any recommendations, here are some by a board certified dermatologist:
- Smell - scented moisturiser as well as perfume can be great in ensuring you always smell good - some brands have accompanying moisturisers with their shampoos. Palmer's coconut hairmask leaves hair smelling so good afterwards for the rest of the days. (I have no affiliation with Palmer's).
- Nails: always well trimmed and buffed. Great if you can apply a coat of clear nail varnish or pale pink - if you are looking for something low maintenance. Best results of course will be if you go to a nail salon

- Brand 2 (Stanford University career coach): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR3k7Ef9kJI
- elegant deportment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bufeL6jTsEI
- Dining etiquette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ9EHistLXY
- Guest etiquette (this time one of Anna's own youtube vids): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COpxKPM1PJQ
- Body language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmggS-BRda8
- General etiquette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPJdxJS4NQE
- Conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09EAE85AlT8
- Anna's existing youtube videos are also helpful. Tracy Hensel also does excellent vids about this topic. The modern lady - another very good channel.
- Posture: here's a pro tip - stand with your back against a wall, relax, stick your chest out, curve your back so that it is arched inwards, place your shoulders back, raise your chin slightly (also helpful in improving appearance of double chin, if you have one), now step away from the wall and continue with this exact same posture when you're walking around. This posture shouldn't change even when you're sitting down.
- There's no short cut with this, the key is putting yourself out there. Whether that is looking up events on eventbrite and going to them alone or with a friend, attending conferences, joining sports clubs, joining a club in a hobby you're interested in, joining facebook groups in your area or about a field you're interested in, speaking to guys in bars etc. The only way to meet new people is putting yourself out there. Heck you can even do this in the bathroom of a restaurant etc - e.g. say if you really like the dress or lipstick someone is wearing, comment on it and it could lead to a new conversation.
- There are apps which are also aimed at making friends like bumble friends - I've never tried this so can't comment on its success
- Networking - once you've met someone new, exchange details e.g. facebook friend, instagram follow, exchanging numbers, emails - this varies depending on what kind of event you met them in and what kind of network you want to make e.g. is it a friendship based one? professional? romantic? Then you can follow this up the next day and message them to solidify this contact or to stay in their radar/ arrange to meet if you had discussed this beforehand.
- Good conversation topics:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU-ibdHkz4Y
- fail safe topics: personal interests and hobbies, travel/holidays (past and future), recent news/books you've read, your work (e.g. if you are both in the same field of work), plans for the weekend, people love it when you ask them about themselves.
