particular framework helped me tremendously because it took many of the
powerful elements of 
The 20/20/20 Formula
I walked you through earlier this
morning along with key aspects of a world-class pre-sleep process and built
them into an immensely specific daily map that anyone—and I do mean
anyone—can run to experience amazing days, consistently. It’s like a food
recipe: follow the steps, and you’ll get the results.”
“And amazing days create an upward spiral into amazing weeks and

amazing weeks morph into amazing months,” stated the artist, closing his
journal.
“And amazing months become amazing quarters and amazing quarters
yield amazing years and decades and ultimately . . .” added the entrepreneur,
closing her journal.
“An amazing lifetime,” the three said together.
“Day by day. Step by step, an epic existence gets handcrafted,” summed
up the billionaire, wearing his fashionable shades, the kind the in-the-know
Romans sport in their effortlessly stylish way that displays an “I don’t try too
hard to look this phenomenally cool” kind of attitude. More seagulls flapped
their wings and made those annoying sounds seagulls seem to enjoy making.
The billionaire was clearly an exceedingly loving soul. Not just rich in
money, but also wealthy of heart. But he did detest seagulls and the way they
had done a takeover of many of the rooftops in the core of Rome, over the
past few years.
“Need to do something about those feathered creatures,” he ruminated,
displaying uncharacteristic irritation. “Anyhoo, now you know why I brought
you to the Spanish Steps. Generating explosive productivity, elite health,
exceptional prosperity, sustained joy and boundless inner peace really is a
step-by-step
game. Small, daily, seemingly insignificant improvements, when
done consistently over time, do yield staggering results. Daily micro-wins and
infinitesimal optimizations really are the surest way to a life that you’ll be
ever so proud of at the end. This truly is one of my favorite places in the
world, you know. I wanted you two to be with me to not only teach you the
transformational process of 
The 20/20/20 Formula
, but also to reinforce the
reality that living remarkably is indeed an upward spiral to the top of a
staircase of success and significance. And as you take this journey toward the
fullest experience of your highest greatness, step by step, a magic and beauty
as obvious as you now witness here will infuse your days and only accelerate
over your years. Of this you can be sure.”
After carefully scanning the learning model on the glass, the entrepreneur
wondered aloud, “What’s 
The 90/90/1 Rule
? And 
The 60/10 Method
? And I
don’t understand some of these other notations.”
“And what do ‘2WW’ and ‘2MP’ on the framework stand for?” asked the
artist.
“You’ll learn soon enough,” the billionaire responded, generating
suspense. “You both should know I’ve saved the best—
and most
valuable
—
teachings for the end of our time together.”

The billionaire then hugged the entrepreneur and the artist, tighter than
ever before. They could see tears slowly filling his eyes. Big whales of water.
“I love you two,” he said. “Ci vediamo.”
And then he vanished.
