HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
There are 3 Missions that compose The 007 Lifestyle.
Mission 1: The Style & Image
Guide
The very first thing we’re going to focus on is
reinventing ourselves and our image to more
closely match Bond’s suave demeanor.
We can’t have you traveling the world and
sweeping women off their feet if you don’t look and act the part. It’s time to take you from slob
to suave.
Mission 2: Lethal Seduction
Techniques
James Bond is one of the world’s most famous
seducers. You simply cannot live the 007
Lifestyle without women involved. Even married guys should take notes because everything outlined here will help you keep your woman
happy and begging for more.
Mission 3: Money, Wealth, & Exotic
Travel
James Bond is never short on cash. A limited supply of money will hinder your ability to travel, to tip well, and move flawlessly throughout your social circle.
In this section, I’m going to show you how to live, make money, and spend money while on the run. This is how you live a mobile lifestyle or just supplement your current income.
Each Mission has a ‘Villains’ and ‘Gadgets/ Resources’ section to help you overcome
obstacles and complete your goals.
WHO IS ‘DEREK STRONG’?
(As a sovereign man, I value anonymity. Please don’t ask for my real name because I wont provide it.)
I sit here writing this message to you from a bungalow on the tiny island of Koh Tao in Thailand (pictured below).
I just got back from an intense workout followed by a 45 minute tanning session on the beach. I can feel the tightness of the muscles in my arms, a slight sunburn on my shoulders, and sand between my toes.
I’ve got my laptop open, feet up, and a warm cup of Laotian coffee at arms length.
Life is good but it wasn’t always this way.
A couple of years ago I was just another James Bond fan sitting behind a desk all day. I was
boring, I had boring relationships, and I was slowly accepting that this was as good as my life was going to be.
Then something tragic happened.
One of my dad's best friends, a man I've known my whole life, had a sudden heart attack and died in his front yard. He laid there on the lawn for hours until his wife came home from work and discovered his body.
My mortality suddenly became much more real. I saw myself in 20 years living the same boring life. Always dreaming but never doing.
Desperately wishing I could break free.
But I didn't want to end up just like my dad's friend. I wanted to do everything I truly wanted to.
11
I knew then that I had to reinvent myself. I was fed up. It was time to start living the lifestyle I had always wanted - the 007 lifestyle.
I spent the next several months reflecting and even studying James Bond films. I absorbed every bit of the character that I could. I knew Bond wasn't real, but I wanted his lifestyle so badly that I didn't care.
I started learning new skills, working out, and talking to women. I focused on improving
myself everyday.
Then I took an adventure packed vacation where I bungee jumped, sky dived, and shot a gun for the first time. I even visited some of the exact locations where they shot movie scenes in Panama and in Brazil. I didn't look like James Bond but I felt like him.
I Didn't Want Any "What If's?"
After returning home absolutely ecstatic about my adventures I felt stronger and more
confident than ever before. In the past I was caged by my fear. I was afraid to start a
business or approach women. "What if I fail or get rejected," I'd always think. But this time it didn't matter. I didn't want any "What if's?"
I started going for it in every aspect of my life and guess what? I succeeded. I quit my job and began freelance writing. Eventually, I started a few of my own websites. I wasn't making
millions of dollars, but I was making enough to travel and enjoy my life.
I began studying every piece of material I could on how to meet women and attract them. I spent hours in bars talking to women and
developing my own systematic way to seduce them. And, I started getting dates consistently.
I was suddenly the guy dating women more beautiful than I thought possible.
WHY LISTEN TO ME?
Many times, the people giving us advice in our lives are in no position to give it.
They haven't experienced what we've experienced or ever been in our shoes.
Let's say your best friend has always been good with women. He can freely talk with gorgeous women and dates them regularly.
Another friend used to be terrible with women but then he figured some things out. He got better and now he's just as good as your natural friend.
Who would you rather get advice from?
On the whole, your natural friend's advice is going to be irrelevant to you. He's always been good so he's not going to have the same fears or hold ups.
Your un-natural friend, on the other hand, will be able to relate to your problems and give you strategies to overcome them.
So, as you've probably already guessed, I'm like your second friend. I'm the guy who's gone from bad (real bad), to great.
I've been where you are. I know how it feels. But I've escaped to tell my story and give you a way out.
I've studied my butt off. I've lost thousands of dollars on stupid business ventures. I've spent countless hours reading everything there is to
know about the 007 Lifestyle.
So I know I'm qualified to give advice. I've
earned the right. You don't have to listen to me but I think it'd be dumb not to. You don't have to repeat the same mistakes I've made or
embarrass yourself in front of groups of women.
This is why I deserve your attention and I'm happy to share my knowledge and experience.
THE 007 LIFESTYLE MINDSET
If you’re reading this, I’m fairly certain that
you ‘get it’.
You understand that I’m not trying to literally BE James Bond. The goal is to be a better version of
YOURSELF.
You can still have your own strong identity even if you draw influence from others.
In reality your personality and identity is most likely a combination of your interactions with friends and family. You model those around you and especially your father (or father figure) in a lot of different respects.
Does that mean you copy his every move? Absolutely not.
‘Modeling’ excellence is the
quickest way to get a desired
result. In your case, an interesting
LIFESTYLE.
Modeling is the ability to fully replicate a desirable skill or behavior that another person has.
If you want to start a successful business, you model successful businesses and businessmen because they’re excellent. If you want to be in good physical shape, you do what people who are healthy and in shape do.
It’s quite simple when you think about it.
And luckily for me, I stumbled upon the idea
that modeling James Bond’s lifestyle was actually possible.
That’s what this guide is. The compilation of all the things I’ve learned in respect to living like James Bond in real life.
Ready to do this? Let’s get started.

Mission 1: Style & Image
CHAPTER 001
: DRESSING
THE PART
Despite the occasional faux pas (the infamous baby blue terry-cloth jumpsuit), Bond dresses tastefully and elegantly. Even during travel in The Spy Who Loved Me and Quantum of Solace Bond is impeccably suited.
What Clothing Communicates
What you wear is a communication of who you are. James Bond often wears a suit and
expensive clothing for two reasons:
1. To seamlessly fit into his social circle(s).
2. To demonstrate superior social status
within those groups.
James Bond’s style is not always defined because many times he is working under a cover. He must adhere to
the rules of the character he is playing - the famous kilt he wears On Her
Majesty’s Secret Service is probably the most telling example.
Pick the group or subculture that you wish to identify with and wear the ‘costume’ that people in that group typically wear.
If you’re infiltrating circles of businessmen and attending launch parties for new satellite
networks a la Tomorrow Never Dies, you
probably shouldn’t wear a Hawaiian shirt. But, if you’re trying to snuggle up close to a cute
hippie chick, by all means wear the shirt.
Be the stereotype.
Make your style of dress match the image you wish to project. When you have the proper uniform to match your image, stand out ever-so-slightly above the rest. Dress just a bit sleeker or nicer.The slickest, most dominant men within subcultures typically have a superior fashion sense. Bond always looks better than his usually rich and powerful nemesis.
A well dressed man can influence people subtly without them even realizing it. In one study, researchers had a man illegally jaywalk against a traffic light several different times. Half the time he dressed in regular work clothes, and the other half he wore a business suit and tie.
3 1/2 times as many pedestrians waiting at the corner followed the man when he wore a suit as when he wore regular work clothes.
18
And under the ‘covers’
Don’t underestimate the
power clothing and a well
dressed man has on
influencing people.
Your Ideal Stereotype
‘The Successful Man’
(Quintessential James Bond)
This is the iconic look you’ll find throughout GQ magazine. It’s instantly recognizable and unmistakably Bond.
How do we achieve this look? And how we do achieve it without completely draining our bank account? Well there are a couple tricks and ‘hacks’ that you can use to pull it off.
Clothes Buying 101
The most important thing to remember when buying clothing is that it MUST FIT CORRECTLY.
Most guys pay no attention to how their
clothing looks and fits their body shape.
They think, "Hey, my pants aren't falling
down. I'm all good."
Men and women alike instantly pick up on this if only on the subconscious level. You don't need to buy super tight clothing or wear only suits, but you need to buy clothes that suit your shape nicely. How do we do that? Keep reading.
Buy For The Long Haul
If you’ve stopped growing, it’s time to start buying clothing with the long haul in mind. You
don’t need a ton of clothing, especially if you’re a man on the move, but it should be nice and durable.
Yes, I know, nice and durable usually equals expensive. But this is a foolish way to look at it.
If you buy quality items they will
last a long time.
Many items, like the beat up Bentley Bond drove in the Fleming novels, just get better with time and wear.
Stop worrying about trends.
You’ll end up buying clothing that has no use in a few years. Notice how Bond’s classic tuxedo has remained current and stylish since the beginning.
Buy Quality & Run It Into The
Ground
Having high quality items in your wardrobe, even if you have sparse collection, will go a long way in helping raise your perceived status. This elevation will come not only extrinsically (from others), but intrinsically (from within) as well.
Good, durable clothing can be worn more often than poor quality clothing and it will also help you feel a sense of prosperity. On a
subconscious level, you’ll feel more wealthy and valuable just by wearing it.
Once you’ve established the look you want, save up money to buy quality pieces and wear them frequently. This strategy is much more ‘Bond’ then buying lots of cheap clothing.
How to Buy Pants
Pants can be tricky for many guys. The tendency is to buy pants that are too long. Avoid this it
all costs. A bunch of fabric bunching up around
your shoes looks awful. Stepping on the back of your pant leg, creating a ripped and torn look is
NOT COOL
. It looks tacky.When trying on pants, first make sure that the waist fits exactly how you want it. The waist is the most important part because you can always have the inseam shortened for cheap in most tailor shops.
Once you've found the right waist fit, check the length of the pants. Without shoes on, the pant leg should never sag below mid ankle.
22
Note: You can get away with wearing similar clothing from day to day. Unless your outfit is especially
flamboyant, no one will notice the difference. For example, most people wont be able to recall what you wore 2-3 days ago. Go ahead ask someone, and see what they say.
Every man should have a nice, expensive (or
high quality) pair of denim jeans.
Women notice nice jeans much more so than men. Wear them casually, or with a suit jacket.
How to Buy T-Shirts
Unless you're going for the rapper look, I'd suggest against buying oversized shirts. If you're prone to buying clothing that's too large for you, try moving a size down, for example from large to medium.
T-shirts are usually sized like this: if in general you are a medium sized guy, medium shirts will likely fit you. If you're a big huge guy, XL is probably your best bet.
23
A note on t-shirt design: keep your t-shirts simple. Screen printed shirts and logos can look tacky. Buy solid colored shirts.
If you’re a traveler: try getting sheep’s wool shirts (Icebreakers are my favorite) as they are sweat and smell resistant and will last a long time.
How to Buy Collared and Dress
Shirts
It's a major mistake to buy oversized dress shirts, but I see it all the time. Spend an hour or so in the shirt department figuring out your size. Start with your neck size, then figure out sleeve size.
Or, you can make it simple and go a tailor.
Don't be afraid of tailors.
They are not as expensive as you think and worth every penny.
An important thing to remember with dress shirts is that they shouldn't be overly baggy before you tuck them in. Try to buy dress shirts that are slim and not extremely long. You don't want them to bunch up in your pants and make it look like you're wearing a diaper.
Shoes
Keep your shoes simple unless you're a daring soul by nature. Don't buy huge skater shoes unless you’re a skater. Look for slimmer cut shoes with very simple designs. Large logos on shoes are for kids.
The amount of shoes you have will really
depend on your lifestyle choice. My 007 lifestyle is one of constant travel, therefore I like to have only two pairs of shoes.
Otherwise, you should have at least:
Dress Shoes
Casual Shoes
1 Pair Black
1 Pair Black
1 Pair Brown
1 Pair Brown or
White
Spend the money on high quality dress shoes and get sole protectors put on. Don’t skimp out. Good dress shoes last forever.
Short story: I had a good looking pair of black dress shoes but they were cheap. After 3 months of wearing them I noticed my back starting to give. Before I knew it, I had the back of 65 year old and needed physical therapy to correct the problem.
For casual shoes I prefer Adidas and slim fitting boots.
Accessories
I believe in a few good accessories. They can take otherwise mundane clothing and an average guy and inject him with cool.
Bond’s accessories are usually subtle but always eloquent. A few high quality accessories will go a long way.
Hats
Connery looked great in a hat. Go to a good speciality hat store and seek advice.
Learn how to toss your hat like Bond does on Moneypenny’s hatrack. Video: James Bond Hat Gag
Watches
Spend the money on a good durable watch. It will last you for years. Omega Commercial
A watch does wonders for the psyche. It’s a constant reminder (it’s attached to your wrist all day) of your upward assent in the world.
Save up, a little each month, (see chapter on saving), and when the time comes buy yourself a nice watch.
Travel Fashion
“He said we are a little over-dressed but he
has agreed to take us.” - Bond
James Bond is constantly in new locations across the globe and his clothing always suits the
occasion. In The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond wears traditional clothing in Cairo, Egypt and looks completely comfortable doing so. You should strive to fit in with the local style of dress as much as possible.
There’s nothing worse or more
obvious than a traveler wearing
huge cargo pants and clothing.
A good spy would never enter into a foreign country looking like such a tourist - unless of course that was his cover.The amount of fun and flexibility your trip will have is the direct inverse of the amount of baggage you bring with you. How can you pick up and leave for the next destination and stay on the bad-guy’s heels if you have several suitcases?
When I travel, I live by the words,
“the lighter the better.”
A Possible Travel Gear List
• 3 Icebreaker t-shirts (1 blue, 1 black, 1 greenish)
• 3 collard shirts (1 white, 1 black, 1 blue). • 2 jackets (1 rain jacket, 1 cardigan)
• 2 pairs of shorts
• 1 'bathing suit' - really just small running shorts that I mostly use to protect my video camera.
• 2 pairs of travel underwear - Quick dry. I take one in the shower with me in the
morning to soap it up. Then wear the other one while it dries.
• 1 pair of travel pants • 1 pair of jeans
• 1 pair of Chukka boots • 1 pair of Adidas
• 1 pair of sandals
What you pack will invariably be different. There are some good resources for travel clothing in the MISSION 1: Gadgets / Resources section.
Putting It Together
I don't necessarily recommend you try to dress exactly like James Bond.
You are not James
Bond
. You’re just trying to emulate his LIFESTYLE. You need to develop our own style otherwise people will think you're an idiot fan-boy.But we can look to Bond for inspiration. So, I'd like to show you how you can create a similar look to one seen in Quantum of Solace. You might remember the scenes from Haiti.
Icebreaker Kent Polo
Icebreaker t-shirts are made of Merino wool. This stuff dries fast, almost never smells, and is extremely comfortable and durable. It will keep you
warm when it’s cold and vice versa. They’re not bad looking either.
Jeans - Levi Skinny 511 Jeans
Levi jeans are a solid choice. They are usually inexpensive but they last. Just be careful you find the right fit.
28
Amazon.com
Jacket - American Apparel Nylon Taffeta Wind Breaker
The problem with most ‘travel’ jackets is over use of zippers and pockets. American Apparel makes a great wind breaker that will resist rain and fashion suicide.
Boots - Chukka Boot
Chukka boots are very 007-ish. Spend the money and get a good pair. Then wear them everywhere. They’ll just get better as they age.
Your New Mantra: “Buy Quality. Wear It Out.”

CHAPTER 002
: JAMES BOND GROOMING
I’ll let you in on a little secret: how you’re dressed and groomed is more important than your looks.
You should, however, constantly be working to enhance your good features.
Let’s talk about grooming habits you can adopt to align your image a little closer with Bond’s.
Note: Pierce Brosnan’s looks are NOT required to live the 007 Lifestyle.
Hair
When’s the last time you saw James Bond with bad hair? Never (and I) say never.
Even when Bond’s been in a pipe getting water sprayed at him and shot at in Dr. No, his hair is still perfect. This might have something to do with Sean Connery wearing a wig in his Bond flicks due to his hair thinning at a young age...
...But, the concept still applies: get control of your hair.
You can instantly upgrade your image with a good haircut so don’t skimp on paying for a good stylist.
Go to an expensive salon and ask for advice rather than telling them what you want. The
result - a hairstyle that works for you. Something you can be proud of.
For the guys who are going bald, shave it all off. Bond will do the same when he’s older too. Baldness radiates masculinity while a half-dome doesn’t. You can even play it off like you prefer the bald look.
Skin
We see Bond without a shirt in nearly every film and quite famously in Casino Royale. One of the easiest ways to improve your sex appeal is to get a tan.
Tan skin makes you look healthier and creates shadows making you look more muscular. Don’t go overboard and get skin cancer, but sunlight also provides a healthy dose of vitamin D - good for producing testosterone in a generation full of men with the lowest testosterone count in history.
Try working out or exercising outside with your shirt off to maximize your time.
Shaving
• FaceYou can still be a James Bond type with a beard or mustache. Just make sure you actually look good and you keep your facial hair trim and clean.
Tip: If you get blemishes, try shaving more frequently (every day). This will reduce the amount of irritation to your face and thus cut down on new blemishes.
• Chest
Having a shaved chest is perfectly acceptable and preferred by many women - look at Daniel Craig. However, if that’s too metro and un-masculine for you, then by all means leave the
mane. Just recognize that a hairless chest will make you look skinnier. I prefer to shave mine with a hair buzzer not a razor so it’s trimmed but not completely smooth.
• Armpits
I know we’re getting more metrosexual but trimming your armpits can reduce odor as well as cut down on sweat.
Consider it, but it’s absolutely not mandatory!
CHAPTER 003
: JAMES BOND
BODY LANGUAGE
James Bond has a certain swagger. No matter what he’s wearing, he always looks confident. Think Brosnan wet in the hotel in Die Another Day, and Craig in the dusty suit in Quantum of Solace.
Bond’s ‘swagger’ is his excellent
body language.
Body language is a symbol of power as well as
one of the most important attraction switches for women.
33
And look at you. You’re probably hunched over the computer, rounding your shoulders as you read this. Many researchers believe that up to 85% of communication is done through non-verbal
cues.
Even if you know all the right things to say, if your body language isn’t strong, it wont matter. It’ll be hard to act like a confident James Bond type if you’re standing with your hands in your pockets and your eyes looking at the ground.
You can fake confidence using these techniques.
One of the best parts about learning proper body language is that it influences your subconscious brain into believing you are as confident as the movements you are making. It’s almost impossible to feel depressed when you hold your head high. Go ahead and try it.
Use confident body language, and you’ll signal your brain that you’re
confident, and then your body will naturally seek to align your brain’s
beliefs with your body’s actions.
Eye Contact
Do’s
1. Keep eye contact when you speak. When you
are talking it is especially important to hold eye contact. Never be the first one to leave eye contact unless it makes sense in the situation.
2. Do stare at the bridge of the other persons forehead in-between the eyes until you get
comfortable. Most people will not be able to tell the
difference.
3. Do watch a woman's eyes when you first meet her. Notice how her pupils dilate as the conversation
progresses. When someone is attracted to another person their eyes dilate, essentially so they can get a better view. If you notice a woman's eyes lighting up when you speak to her, you might be on to something.
Don'ts
1. Don't stare, gaze. You're not going to fight the
person you're talking to. Notice how wide open Bond and Le Chiffre’s eyes are when the stare at each other. Don't do this. Relax the eyes and gaze through the other person’s eyes.
2. Don't look down when you think. This doesn't
convey confidence. Remember, always strive to hold the head high.
3. Don't break eye contact with someone you see
on the street. Never be the first to break eye
contact when you see a woman or anyone else looking at you on the street. If she's pretty throw a smile in there, raise an eyebrow, or squint a bit, and see what happens.
Neck
The neck muscles control what your head does -
so lets talk about what your neck should and shouldn't be doing.
Do's
1. Do keep your head up at all times. When you're
sitting look at the people you're talking to and at your surroundings. When you're walking keep your head high. Unless you're on a very rocky path, your feet know what to do. There should be no reason to look down.
2. Do try to align your spine and neck in a straight line. The vertebrae in your neck are
designed fall in line with your spine vertebrae. Do try to keep good posture. Don’t look like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.
3. Do place the top of your computer screen at eye level. This is the optimal position to help you
relax your neck and keep it in the proper position. As I write this, my computer is on my lap and I can already feel some strain in my neck.
Don'ts
1. Don't turn your head quickly when someone tries to get your attention. Your movements
should be slow and relaxed. What the other person is saying is not important enough for you to move quickly. You don’t need to answer to anyone.
Shoulders & Arms
A lot of unconfident guys have so much trouble with hunched over and closed body posture. If
you focus on nothing else, I’d say concentrate on the eyes and how you’re holding your
shoulders and arms.
Do's
1. Do pull your shoulder blades back. Strut your stuff.
When your shoulders are back you can’t help but push your chest out. This is great,
flaunting body posture. Notice how guys and gorillas alike puff up their chests around females before a fight. It makes you look bigger.
2. Do spread your shoulders out. Try to take up as much
space as possible. Your
shoulders are the widest part of your body. They shouldn't be tucked in towards your chest. They should be spread out.
3. Do hold your arms to your side. When you’re relaxed the
arms just kind of hang to the side.
Don'ts
1. Don't cross your arms.Start today. Whenever you catch yourself crossing your arms unfold them. Once again it signals that you're closed off. 9 times out of 10 angry people will cross their arms.
2. Don’t make fast
movements with your arms. Always be striving for
slow and relaxed.
3. Don’t point your
shoulders towards people until they’ve engaged you.
This is especially important
at bars and clubs. When you’re facing away
from people they’re constantly whether or not you’re going to stay. Once they say or do something
interesting you can fully turn your
shoulders and body towards them showing them that they’ve won your attention. This takes time to master.
38
Shoulders back even with hands
in his pockets
Hands
Do's
1. Do hold your hands open when you talk. You always want to be showing that you’re open. Open
hands have long been a sign of friendliness. Notice how people trying to befriend animals always open their hands to show peaceful intentions.
2. Do hold your beer or drink to your side. Don't cover up your heart with your beer. Notice how the
cool and confident guys hold their drinks. It’s almost always to their side and it’s always relaxed.
3. Do touch people with your hands. Don't be afraid to begin contact with people as the
conversation escalates. Also, lead woman around with your hands. Put your hand on the small of her back as you lead through a door. Grab her hand and pull her through the crowd.
4. Do use your hands to hammer in important points. You shouldn't constantly be moving your
hands but when it might strengthen something you’re saying, use your hands to hammer it home.
5. Do use your hands to help tell a story. If you can represent certain things with your hands, it will
draw your listener in. Use the salt & pepper shakers to represent two friends who got into a fight. Show them together then move them apart. Get creative.
Don't
1. Don't play or fidget with things in front of you. These type of
behaviors make you look nervous and childish. Place your hands in one spot and keep them there.
2. Don't put your hands in your pockets. This often brings your
shoulders forward and in and also makes you look nervous or sad. If you're going to place your hands in your pockets don't put them in too deep and make sure your shoulders are back.
3. Sit on your hands. This should be an obvious one. If you're sitting on
your hands you're either 6 years old, or you're a beta male. Take your hands, put them on their corresponding legs or on the table, and don't move them unless it's necessary.
4. Don't clasp your hands together. The idea is to be as open as
possible. If you're clasping your hands you don't look open.
5. Don't touch your face. Watch people playing chess. They'll inevitably touch their faces because they're thinking hard. When you're talking to a woman you do not want to come off like you're thinking a lot.
Legs & Feet
Do's
1. Do walk slow. Nothing is as important as the
now.
2. Do spread your legs out. Once again this has to
do with being open and taking up space. Try to create some room between your knees when you sit. Don't worry, no one’s going to punch you down there.
3. Put your feet up on your desk. Every notice how
the big CEO types lean back in their chair and put their feet up on the desk. This is perfectly OK. When you do this you can even cross your feet if you want.
4. Do workout your legs. There's nothing worse
than a big upper body and skinny little chicken legs. Plus, working out your legs releases more hormones and will make the rest of your body grow bigger.
When seated: always try to lean
back as much as possible.
41
Don'ts
1. Don't cross your leg completely when you
sit. Occasionally, it's OK to make a 90 degree
angle with one leg crossed over the other. But in general, it's best to try to keep both feet flat on the floor and the legs spread out.
2. Don't wear pants that make your waist
look big. There shouldn't be a ton of extra
material.
3. Don't walk with only your legs. Use your arms and shoulders too.
4. Don't tap your feet or fiddle with them. This signals to others that you are either a) nervous or b) need to use the restroom. Don't be the little school boy in church who can't keep himself still.
Final Thoughts
When you first begin working on your body language, don’t get discouraged. Just notice what mistakes you’re making and correct them.
Remember that everything takes practice in life.
A good trick to correcting body language is to picture something great you’ve done in your mind. Notice how your body responds to the mental image. You’ll sit straighter and hold your head higher and prouder.

CHAPTER 004:
THE JAMES
BOND BODY
“Wow, you do take good care of your body Mr.
Bond.” Le Chiffre
Early Bonds, don’t display a necessarily toned physique. But they are athletic, powerful, and capable of killing. I hope you don’t need to kill anyone but chances are you need to shape up.
Physical activity is a must in the James Bond lifestyle. Get out there and exercise. Break a sweat everyday.
Getting In Shape
Craig’s famous swimsuit scene in Casino Royale exposed us to a whole new, shredded side of James Bond. There are all types of workout programs out there that will help you develop size. Go to T-Nation.com or Bodybuilding.com
and pick a routine from the hundreds available and you can’t wrong.
However, through my own experimenting, I found a program that helped me build 10 pounds of new muscle in only 8 weeks (this includes a week off due to a stomach infection from bad water in Panama).
So if speed is what you’re looking for check this out.
8 Week Muscle Building Plan
Here is my exercise selection:
Monday Wednesday Friday
Neck Press (wide -grip bench press)
Front Squat Wide-grip dips
Military press Deadlift Side laterals Close grip
bench
Gironda Perfect Curl
Skull crushers
Pull-ups Barbell wrist curl
Lat pull-down (front)
Barbell rowing Calves (any exercise)
Chest-supported incline shrug
Every exercise, aside from maybe a small warm-up set or two if I needed it, was done for only one long set.
My goal was to absolutely exhaust the specific muscle group in the shortest amount of time possible.
I would perform first a set of reps between 8 and 12, using enough weight that by the end, I was absolutely unable to do any more reps.
Once the first 8 or 12 reps were done, I took about 15 seconds to fill my body with oxygen. This was done by almost hyperventilating -- bending over and breathing extremely deeply. This is a very important step, and will make you much stronger for the next portion.
Then I performed between 4 and 6 more reps -- basically until failure again. If I could only get out 3 reps, that was fine as well. I just went again until I could get no more reps out. Then I followed the same 15-second breathing
technique.
Finally, I got out as many reps as I could. This was typically around 3, but sometimes I could push myself to more.
And that's it for each exercise. Each exercise should last about 3 or 4 minutes total.
Between exercises, I rested for upwards of 3 or more minutes -- until I was ready to tackle and destroy the next body part.
Dieting
Dieting isn’t for pansies. In fact, it’s a necessary part of the 007 Lifestyle. If you don’t watch what you eat you’ll end up fatter than Connery in Diamonds Are Forever - he looked terrible.
I’ve experimented a lot with different weight loss and weight gain programs so I’d like to share some of my knowledge here with you. But
make sure you consult with your doctor before you try any of these strategies outlined below.
Diet for losing fat quickly
I have followed a modified version of what is known as the anabolic diet with great weight loss success.
Rule #1 Sun-Fri Is Low Carb - Less than 30 grams
Avoid all carbohydrates except spinach,
asparagus, broccoli, and mixed vegetables. You can eat as much of these as you want.
During the first week you’ll feel worn down and tired as your body makes the shift to using fat as energy but the pounds will melt off.
Rule #2: Only eat these foods
Aim for 5-6 small meals a day combining the foods below. In the beginning, eat as much as you’d like to keep energy levels high. As you progress, drop calories by 500 per week until you hit the sweet spot - consistent, weekly fat loss.
Rule #3: Water, Green Tea, & Coffee Are The Only Acceptable Beverages
Do not drink soda, diet or otherwise. A half of one regular soda will fill your carbohydrate requirements for the day. And diet soda has been shown to actually increase appetite which will be a psychological killer.
Protein Sources:
Grass-fed beef Organic Eggs
Salmon / Tilapia / Tuna
Chicken & Turkey
Fat Sources:
Organic Cream Organic Butter Fat from Egg Yolks Mixed Nuts
Olive Oil
Carb Sources:
Veggies listed above
Rule #4 Saturday is go nuts day - pizza, beer, everything.
Cheating one day a week actually helps you lose fat because of the important hormone leptin. Leptin controls the body's starvation protection mechanism.
When your food intake levels are normal, leptin levels are high, metabolism is normal, and the body's fat burning potential is also high.
However, go on a diet and leptin levels drop quickly and dramatically (by around 50% after only one week of energy restriction),
metabolism slows, and the body begins to hold on to fat stores, again as a starvation protection mechanism.
While the research has shown that leptin
plummets by 50% or more after only one week of dieting, it only takes one day of overfeeding
or "cheating" to restore leptin to baseline while dramatically boosting your fat burning potential.
Diet For Gaining Mass
For building mass I also suggest a low carb / high fat / high protein approach.
Use the above rules but instead of having an all out cheat day on Saturday, have one HUGE carb meal every 4-5 days to restore glycogen.
Also shoot for 2X your body weight in grams of protein per day.
Maintenance Diet
“Room service? I'd like to order breakfast.
Half a pint of orange juice, three eggs,
lightly scrambled, with bacon, a double
portion of café Espresso with cream. Toast.
Marmalade. Got it?” Bond
Once you’ve reached some of your fitness goals it’s time to back off and eat a more balanced and sustainable diet.
If I was only given a handful of foods to eat every day to be lean and healthy, they would be the following:
* Mixed fancy nuts (raw, no salt added) * Blueberries
* 93% lean red meat (preferably grass-fed)
* Wild Salmon
* Whole omega 3 eggs * Full-fat yogurt (plain) * Broccoli
* Spinach
* Ground flax seeds
* Tomatoes / natural tomato sauce
And if I was allowed supplements, I would add in:
*Fish oil
*Protein powder (just for flavoring, not necessarily for protein intake)
* Psyllium husks (for extra fiber)
And that's it! I could combine all these foods a hundred different ways and live a healthy, lean life.
Every single one of these foods would be
bought fresh -- not processed, not in a colorful box with cartoon characters on it.
These are what I, personally, consider to be the world's greatest super foods. They provide your body with all the essential nutrients it needs not only to function at its best, but also to lose weight or gain muscle.
Of course, I eat other foods. I love to have stone-ground wheat toast with butter in the mornings. I love mixing pumpkin with vanilla protein powder. Frozen blueberries help cool down a piping hot bowl of oatmeal. And if I ever mention that I have a "secret ingredient" in a dish, then I guarantee it's hummus.
But the truth is: if you follow a diet made up of only the greatest foods in the world, and paid very little attention to anything else, you would lose weight. Guaranteed.
The balanced diet, simply made up of the world's healthiest foods, is one that you could stay on for months at a time and see great results from.
A sample 2000 calorie day on a
diet like this could look like:
Breakfast: 1 cup yogurt
1/2 cup blueberries 1 banana
(mix all three together with a little bit of vanilla protein powder for flavoring)
3 whole omega 3 eggs, cooked scrambled
Snack:
1/4 cup of mixed nuts
Lunch:
Broccoli and spinach salad
4 ounces lean red meat (ground or steak) Tomato sauce on top of meat
Snack:
1/4 cup of mixed fancy nuts
Dinner:
4 ounces lean red meat Ground flax seeds Tomatoes
This is how I suggest eating throughout the majority of the year -- a well-balanced diet made up of the world's healthiest foods that will keep you mentally sane
Rest & Recovery
In From Russia With Love, M asks Bond whether or not he ever sleeps. Bond answers by saying “Never on the clock.” And in Quantum of Solace we see Bond downing martinis well into the night before he needs to wake up early.
Although Bond appears to be a sort of
superhuman machine when it comes to rest and recovery, we are not so lucky. Between 50-70 million Americans suffer from a chronic sleep disorder.
The symptoms of a sleep disorder are:
• Excessive daytime sleepiness • Difficulty falling asleep
• Early morning awakening
In order to function at your best you need to get at least 6.5 hours of sleep. Many, like myself, do best with around 7-8, but 6.5 is the minimum requirement.
People who report sleeping between 6.5-7.5 hours a night live the longest. Anything reported over or under these numbers show increased risk of mortality.
Sleep & Brain Function
Have you sacrificed sleep to try and cram for a big meeting or test?
Well, several studies have shown that if you learn something important, you need a night of sleep to remember it the next day. Meaning, if you don’t sleep you’ll forget more information than if you were to sleep in between.
Lack of sleep will also negatively effect work productivity. One study revealed that doctors who worked long shifts - 24 hours at a time - would make significantly more diagnosis errors than doctors who worked regular 8 hour shifts. This is both scary and revealing of the power of rest and recovery on brain function.
Sleep & Muscle Recovery
If you’re trying to positively change your physical appearance then sleep is absolutely necessary. When you work a muscle, you are literally damaging it so that it grows back bigger and stronger.
During the night and daytime naps, your body works to repair your muscles and rejuvenate the body.
CHAPTER 005
: THE ART OF
WAR - JAMES BOND STYLE
“I like a man who grins when he fights.” - Sir
Winston Churchill
If you want to live like Bond, you are going to need your double-00 chops. Learning to protect yourself will go a long way in building your confidence and the sub-communication that you are a commanding presence.
When push comes to shove, Bond knows how to throw down and you can too.
In Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice, Bond travels to Japan and comes to know a man named Tiger Tanaka, the head of Japanese Secret Service. Tanaka tells Bond that Japan has a long history of espionage and tells him about
56
ninjas - feudal age spies who flourished in Japan from the 1500s to the 1700s.
Tanaka tells Bond about one particular ninja school, the Togakure. Togakure ryu ninjutsu is taught today, in the year 2009, in Bujinkan Dojo schools all over the world. We will return to this topic but for now lets look at what benefits you can derive from martial arts training.
1. First and foremost, you learn self defense and how to keep your family and friends out of
harm's way. Toshitsugu Takamatsu, the 33rd-generation grandmaster of the Togakure ryu school, wrote succinctly about it in his treatise "The Essence of Ninjutsu". He stated: "The
essence of all martial arts and military strategies is self protection and the prevention of danger." Protection is a basic need and knowing that people are safe when you are around sets up an environment that is subtly rich and rewarding.
2. Next, as you begin your training you learn about yourself, your physicality, and your
determination and drive. You face fears you may not know you have.
3. And lastly, because Asian martial arts are so closely tied with Eastern Philosophy and
Metaphysics, you are exposed to centering skills like meditation and focused breathing exercises which help you keep calm and operate with a clear mind when all about you is going to hell.
Which Martial Art Should You
Study?
There are many martial arts from which to choose. You've heard of: karate, judo, jujutsu, tae kwon do, kung fu. The systems and schools may seem endless. Search the internet or the phone book in your area and see what is
available. Watch a class or two to make sure the
57
environment suits you before you enroll in a school. If you can, interview the instructor and students to learn as much as possible.
Some martial arts are more geared to sports or aesthetics, others are more aimed towards self defense.
My personal preference is to pick the later. In keeping with the 007 theme, here is brief list of things you will want to learn:
• Punching and Kicking
• Grappling, chokes, and throws
• Breakfalls and rolling: how to
survive being thrown to the ground
• Stretching and body conditioning
• Edged weapons: knives and swords
• Sticking fighting
• Corded weapons
• Martial strategy
• Meditation
The mix of various types of weapons will give you the ability to use common household items in your defense.
Just imagine how bigger than life you will seem to your golfing buddies when you use the sand trap rake to quickly subdue a drunken attacker who keeps hitting balls into your group. The burglar in your apartment will be completely baffled (and bruised and senseless) by how you managed to tie his limbs in a knot with the aid of your iPod USB cable. The possibilities are endless.
With training, you can be ready for just about anything.
Not in a place where you can enter training? No problem, at the very least get your hands on a copy of The Art of War by Sun Tzu. This 2000 year-old treatise has inspired warriors all
throughout Asian history, from Shaolin monk to Japanese samurai. Even Napoleon was said to be influenced by it. While there is no substitute for actual training, The Art of War will at least get your mind thinking about martial strategy and you will find that these insights spill over to your professional and personal life.
Take a chapter from
Bond, learn from the
ninja.

CHAPTER 006
:
YOUR HOME BASE
We get occasional glimpses into the home of James Bond. In Dr. No, we see his front entrance and bedroom, although Sylvia’s scantily clad outfit makes it difficult to concentrate on the decor.
In Live And Let Die we see the full interior of Bond’s house. The master bedroom - double bed with extra thick quilt, kitchen - with a coffee machine (but this is set in 1974 so you may want to update the wallpaper).
One place we do get to see Bond often is in hotel rooms. Although he doesn’t own the hotel rooms he lives in, he does take ownership of
them.
As a James Bond lifestyle enthusiast, you’re going to have to get used to the idea of ownership by renting.
No matter where you’re calling home - be it your own apartment, a hotel, or a room in your parent’s house - strive to keep it clean and presentable.
Your home should be comfortable and attractive to women. They should want to spend time in it.
James Bond House Rules
• Keep your house looking clean. Do the dishes. Pick up trash. Don't be a slob. • Make your bed every single day.
• Have a few nice bottles of alcohol to make good drinks • Always have some 'protection'
• Learn to cook basic, delicious meals. You’ll save some cash and it can be more romantic than a traditional dinner date.
• Keep conversation pieces handy. Have some pictures of yourself and your friends. Display
some travel souvenirs.
Making Women Comfortable In Your Home
Here's a trick to get women comfortable with the idea of being in your house or room. This is straight from David Deangelo's (author of Double Your Dating) bag of tricks.
Say you're going to take a girl out or go on an adventure. Invite her over then 'accidently' forget something in your house. Run back to get it and give her a quick view of your house or room. Make sure it meets the requirements above. Then, hustle her out quickly.
This familiarizes her with your place so it's not a big deal / fear of the unknown when your return. It will also make her curious about being in your apartment.
Ask yourself this question, "Would James Bond live
here?" If the answer is no, you've got to make some
changes.
CHAPTER 007
: SIGNATURE
DRINKS & RESTAURANT
ORDERING
“Shaken, not stirred”
Drinking
I have mixed feelings on drinking alcohol. On the one hand, drinking is pleasurable, relaxing, and very sociable. But on the other hand it can be detrimental to your health and fitness goals, and be used as a security blanket to avoid
reality.
In the end it comes down to your goals at the moment. If you’re trying to stick to a diet, lose
weight, or accomplish something that alcohol is going to interfere with, then avoid it.
But if there are no significant drawbacks, then by all means enjoy. We know Bond indulges in the pleasure of drink more than often.
Bond is somewhat of a prolific drinker.
In Ian Fleming’s novels he consumes one drink every seven pages.
Pick A Drink And Make It Your Own
I suggest that you find a drink that you love and make it your own. Have a drink become something that people associate with you.
Vodka martini’s are associated with Bond. If you’re a beer drinker, pick a certain brand - high quality - and drink that brand more often than others.
Learn Everything You Can About Your Drink
Become an expert on your drink of choice. Women and men alike are fascinated by someone who is a perceived expert. In Diamonds are Forever, Bond knows his sherry and flaunts his knowledge to the interest of M.
Don’t flaunt it unnecessarily, but
knowing
interesting facts is...interesting
. It’s just one more thing that gets people thinking about you.Also, try adding style to your drink order. “Shaken not stirred.” Try ordering your drink ‘neat’ or ‘on the rocks’.
Experiment until you find a drink you
truly love and stick to it.
Ordering In Restaurants
When ordering food at a restaurant, don’t stare and contemplate what you’re going to get for an hour. This communicates indecisiveness which is an unattractive quality. Make your decision
and stick to it.
Pairing Drinks With Food
“Red wine with fish...Well
that should have told me
something.” Bond
Bond is a master of knowing what drink should go with what food. I have a friend who is
famous for this. Everyone is fascinated at his skill. You can start developing this talent as well.
Here’s a good free resource:

What To Drink With What You Eat
MISSION 1 VILLAINS
Your quest to improve yourself and your image is going to be a lonely road. At first, people will not understand why you’re doing what you’re doing - especially when it comes to dieting and working out.
They will call you "crazy" and tell you that you’re a “robot” who doesn’t enjoy life - I’ve personally
heard this.
The greatest enemy of improving yourself is often other people.
A
villain
is a person who regularly makes negative comments either consciously or subconsciously. Villains can be your friends, co-workers, and many times your family members.How To Recognize Your Villains
A villain will not always have a scar down one side of their face or a metal set of teeth, but you still should be able to recognize them.
Not everyone who questions your lifestyle decisions or suggests you skip a workout is a villain. Look for consistent patterns of behavior. How often does a person make comments or cut you down? What strategies does the person use to do it?
If someone regularly makes nasty remarks, even in a joking manner, he could be a villain.
Remember, villains can be subtle about thwarting your progress. They employ the "death by a slow
torture" technique. It’s not a fast death, it’s slow like the laser Goldfinger set up for Bond. The closer
the person is to you, the longer it takes you to recognize, and the more painful their actions.
Villains often go undetected and could be one of your trusted allies, i.e. Vesper Lynd. The actions of a villain are most often covert. And the villain is not always a person who obviously has it in for you.
Common villains lie within your own family and circle of friends.
Villains often disguise their sabotage as concern for you. But it’s not real concern. They’re upset that you’re disabling their operation - you’re making them feel bad about their own shortcomings.
Your positive change will remind them that they are fat or miserable in their jobs and lives.
How To Deal With These Villains
The best strategy for coworkers is to just ignore them. Recognize their attempts at sabotage and take it as a compliment that you’re actually achieving something.
The best option for family members and friends is to confront them so they know they’re not helping. Put a stop to your villains actions as fast as possible. When they try to sabotage you, ask them directly about it:
“Why do you try to keep me from going to the gym?”
“Why shouldn’t I try to dress nicer?”
Most villains are wrapped in a security blanket of defense mechanisms, and a reality check is what they need. Their negative behavior will be difficult to continue once you’ve called them on it.
The villain is the one with the problem. Don’t take his attacks personally. Villains are insecure and jealous and force their opinions on you because you represent the opposite. Even though you don't mean it, you're a symbol of their failings and shortcomings.
Conclusion
The James Bond lifestyle is all about achievement and living a full, engaged life. With a solid base, anything is possible and all aspects of life are enriched. Your villains will hate that and they’ll secretly resent you for doing what they either can't or won't.
People don’t want you to be different or excellent. Villains want you to be average just like them. Given the chance, they'll drag you down and lock you up and torture you.
Spot the villains and let them know you're on to them.
Then diffuse their efforts and their atomic bombs.

Mission 2
L e t h a l
Mission 2: Lethal Seduction
CHAPTER 001
: THE KEYS TO JAMES BOND
CHARACTER & ATTRACTION TECHNIQUES
”That looks like a woman's gun.” Bond
”Do you know a lot about guns?” Largo
“No, I know a little about women.” Bond
Embrace Your Manhood
If you watch or read any James Bond material you’ll notice something interesting. Bond is rewarded
for his manhood. Women are attracted to him and his male counterparts look up to him. He is
masculine and makes no apologies for it.
This might be startling given how male masculinity is viewed in today’s society. It sounds politically incorrect to say, but most women and men respond strongly to a masculine man.
The more confident, cocky, and dominant a man acts, the more women respond emotionally and sexually. But in recent years many men have begun to think of masculinity as barbaric and
unattractive to women.
I couldn’t disagree more. Certainly times have changed enough to the point where Bond slapping a
girl in the butt and saying, “Run along now” is not really acceptable. But that’s not the masculinity I’m talking about.
Don’t be a push over and don’t be afraid to assert your dominance over a woman. In the beginning of From Russia With Love, when Sylvia grabs the phone from him during an important business call, Bond slaps her hand away saying, “Sylvia behave.”
This is the kind of calm assertiveness that women crave. They don’t want a pushover and they’ll never respect one.
Things to avoid:
1. Complaining.
2. Acting like a jerk. Being a complete jerk shows insecurity. Assert
yourself calmly, not angrily.
3. Make no apologies for yourself - Be who you are don’t apologize for it.
People will take you seriously when you do this.
Offer Women What Society Doesn’t Allow Them
“Disposable Pleasures Or Meaningful
Pursuits?”
In Casino Royale, Vesper challenges Bond, guessing that he views women as, “disposable pleasures rather than meaningful pursuits.” Here’s a video of the lead in: Bond & Vesper
With Bond’s track record in the sack we might assume this to be true. Many women have just been asides to his missions - something to provide a thrill in between thwarting his enemies world domination plans. And the seduction of Bond girls, such as with Pussy Galore, usually aide in accomplishing his mission.
But this is exactly what makes Bond’s persona so attractive. A one-night stand - typical Bond
procedure - is often just as enjoyable for women as it is for men. This is because many woman often feel oppressed by the role they are expected to play in society.
Relationships and marriages take a lot of emotional commitment and also can bring
about boredom and routine. Thus, a James Bond type seducer appeals to female fantasy of
excitement.
Brush With Danger
Bond is the consummate bad-boy. He offers women a brush with his dangerous lifestyle. You will most likely not be able to recreate the real danger of Bond’s life but you can still arouse a woman’s adrenaline.
The power of association is incredible. Take a girl skydiving, bungee jumping, or on some sort of activity that gets the heart beating (just
remember your parachute unlike Bond in Moonraker and Quantum of Solace). They’ll associate the danger and the emotions that come with it with you.
Turn The Tables On Women
One of Bond’s signature moves is to turn the seduction around on a woman while he’s the one being the aggressor. If your hand suddenly ends up resting on a girls thigh, look at her and say, “You’re good at this.” She’ll ask “What?” You say, “It’s only been 10 minutes and you’ve
already got my hand on your leg.”
This type of behavior drives women wild.
Have the mindset that women are out trying to seduce you and you are the selective one.
This does two things. It conveys that you’re not needy and it also plants ideas in a woman’s head. She’ll start thinking things along the line of, “Am I trying to seduce him? Maybe I am. He must be doing something right.”
Don’t Worry About Obstacles
“Don’t worry you’re not my type?” Bond
“Smart?” Vesper
“Single.” Bond
Resistance and obstacles only spur desire. If there’s something keeping you apart from your Bond girl, then play it up further. It will add to the thrill and create the ‘chase’.
