Reasonable Success
Winning the inner game of entrepreneurship. Success: it’s an inside job.

MIND
How to think
- Week 1
Notice
Notice your thoughts, your energy, your feelings, your results. Just notice — tune in to what’s actually going on in the moment. Resist the temptation to change anything. Just notice.
- Week 5
Deliberate thoughts
Whenever you notice, deliberately choose the thoughts that serve you. Think about what you want, not about what you don’t. What are you putting in? Is it helpful? What WOULD you choose — if you could?
- Week 9
Have a definite vision
Spend every conscious moment thinking in definite terms about your vision — for yourself, for your life, for your business.
BODY
How to be well
- Week 2
Eat well
The four basics of eating well: chew your food until liquid; eat for hunger, not appetite; eat for fun, taste and health; and eat what grew into its shape.
- Week 6
Sleep well
Boss your sleep. Go to bed early, keep a standard wind-down routine, make the room dark, get plenty of fresh air, and control the ambient noise.
- Week 10
Move well
Keep agile. Stretch often, take the stairs, stand at a vertical desk, walk — build regular movement into the necessary parts of your day. Low impact, low cardio is better for a long life.
SOUL
How to create value
- Week 3
Agile results
Practise the Rule of 3, Monday Vision / Friday Reflection, and Life Hot Spots and Themes — a light system for creating value without grinding.
- Week 7
The daily practice
Algorithms to make you a creative powerhouse — like the 8 Ideas: every day, take 8 minutes to create 8 ideas on one aspect of your business. Over time it makes you a creative genius. Quantity has a quality all its own.
- Week 11
Move from the ME to the WE
In everything you create, harness the creative powers of the universe by bringing greater life to all and less to none. The creative spirit comes to those working to secure advantage for all — not just for themselves and their own.
PEOPLE
How to be with people
- Week 4
Do small things in a great way
Do everything you do, however small, with the spirit of greatness — and people will be drawn to you.
- Week 8
Give the impression of increase
Want for everyone what you want for yourself. The same success, joy, peace, love and happiness you want for you — want it for everybody.
- Week 12
Act to complete an improving world
Create greater life for all — current and future — and less to none. Don’t despair at what’s wrong, or judge those at a lower level of awareness. Work as a god among gods, as great as the greatest but better than none, to accelerate an improving world to completion.
