“Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins.” James Clear puts it clearly & succinctly.
You are the Hero we’ve been waiting for. Here’s the ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools you need to move from theory to practice to mastery to activate your Heroic potential, so we can change the world together.
- Life is challenging/difficult/painful. End of. The alternative is to be dead. All of those dead folks you once knew, are free of this turmoil now. They’d rather be here, suffering like you are. Guaranteed. Elvis would swap being dead to be in your current “suffering”.
- Attempting to minimise your suffering by staying in your Comfort Zone is self destructive in the medium & long term.
- Aim to be Antifragile.
- Time flies, but you are the Pilot.
- Take control, starting with your thoughts & self talk.
- Remove the toxic people from your life. You are the average of the 5 folks you spend most time with, find some good ‘uns, treasure them & let them know.
- Thoughts & feelings follow actions. So move.
- If you don’t know where to start, start here, with Eat, Move, Sleep. Or Good Energy.
- Take great pleasure in a series of tiny wins throughout your day. It’s you vs YOU. +1 or -1. Every decision is a +1, “This is going to make me better”, or a -1, “This is easy, feels comfy & good now, but is bad long term, & deep down I know it.” Short term pain, long term gain, or vice versa, you choose. These Little Victories will build your self esteem & self control “muscles”, this will grow like a snowball rolling downhill, you will feel able to take on greater challenges, and in time you will believe in yourself enuf to become the Everyday Hero you were born to be.
- Guaranteed! Or your money back!
That’s it really.

*Apologies, but I gotta trust my gut. And start before I feel ready.
*Humblest apologies to Brian & Heroic & Areté.
But if you really wanna change the world, we gotta get it out there, and for free.
I need my son, friends & anybody willing to listen & wanting to improve, to buy into this mindset, before they £buy$ into this mindset. (& I have to say I was a little disappointed to see prices go from $99 to $150 when I added the “Try for Free” link below, it just gives the haters & doubters ammunition)
You have collated the wisdom of the last 2500 years, my intention is to distil it further.
