Life Tips 101: the next ten

1. Multiply Italian design style with almost anything and you won't go far wrong.
2. Become you own expert. Never leave your wealth, your health nor your politics (solely) to a (perhaps) impressive CV.
3. A Master List is different to a To Do List. The former has 'want to do's as well as the latter's 'Have to do's.
4. Jeans are even cooler when not worn all the time.
5. You need a Sinatra greatest hits on your playlist. Every man and every woman will have their Sinatra moments. Don't be caught out.
6. Your start-up will take three times as long as the spreadsheet predicted to become profitable. Make the adjustment now and you will be fine.
7. Don't wait until Breaking Bad becomes the new cult. Watch it now.
8. The alarm clock is for back-up. Not wake up: get enough sleep.
9. 1 or 2 or 3 dip recession? Doesn't matter: stay focused, work hard and delight customers.
10. Save time instantly. From meetings, unnecessarry travel, lack of anticipation of what's coming up in the schedule and TV.
