But go walk. Take the kids.

What are the Secrets of Success? What are The Real Essentials? Sometimes you realise that if you just woke up, were intelligent, noticed the moments and were bold, had real grit, stopped thinking about escape hatches, and were resilient, perhaps things would become refreshingly different.After all, the totally tangible truths are simply priceless and remind you that whetever it takes in a Brave New World, there is no conspiracy maybe just simply one doppio espresso too many. After all, you say you want a revolution.  So be a superhero, take some time to pause and consider and realise that life is good: you just need The Simplest of Pleasures. And become truly wealthy by using the life tips. What if you were fearless and knew that you could solve any problem that you had? Reinvent. Be outrageous. Be professional. After all, AreYouSerious as genius often starts with quick wins, certainly avoiding nonsense, taking time to reflect, seeking answers and knowing what is to be done. Set your compass, do it and boost your productivity and hence wellness and hence creativity. Think Beatles, think blue Jeans, less PowerPoint. Write and be different. Grab your freedom and travel. Less marketing, more relaxing. Make that Parallel Universe happen: be more intelligent and let the good news happen. Remember: It Isn't Rocket Science.

Basics 7: Daily Investments

1. In your wellness: walk everywhere and move a lot.
2. In your future: read to learn and practise to master.
3. In your security: build your value through mastery and save, then spend.
4. In your relationships: how much fun can you have without a phone? and love is a verb.
5. In your quality of life: daily, need less to be happy and spend more time in nature.
6. In your peace of mind: develop systems and prioritise by pay-off (not urgency, ease...).
7. In you. All of the above. Daily. More in You, Only Better.
