You okay, Boss? inquired one of the pilots from the cockpit.The billionaire remained silent, looking at the photo.The entrepreneur and the artist had flown to Rome a few days earlier and had been mesmerized by the sights, splendor and rarities of The Eternal City.With hands locked together, taking in the energy and beauty of Rome, they traversed the cobblestone streets previously walked by great builders and noble emperors.Today was the day they had waited a long time for.As requested by the billionaire, the two stood at the very top of the Spanish Steps.If you stood on the platform under the obelisk that’s there and looked down to the steps beneath it, you’d see the exact spot where the mentor and his two students met on this morning.The first rays of the Roman sun kissed Trinità dei Monti as the lovers looked out over this city of such culture.The early Romans were remarkable for the grandeur of their visions, for the scale of their buildings and for their otherworldly ability to construct monuments that betrayed engineering reality.The air was fragrant with a blend of floral notes and smokiness, as if a fire were burning in the far distance.Buongiorno! cried a voice amid the tranquility.Elevate your life, the billionaire shouted with the kind of enthusiasm you’d hear from Roman soldiers on achieving a crucial victory.Riley walked into the first embers of the lightfall, smiling a man in the magic of life type of smile.Tutto bene? he asked cheerfully.We’re good, said the entrepreneur, happily, understanding a few words of Italian.Really good, offered the artist.We’re finally ready to calibrate your morning routine so you both materialize your promise for genius and lead a life of limitless joyfulness.You’ll so love what you’re about to hear.The rest of your life will never be the same, the illustrious industrialist declared.As the sun slowly ascended, for the first time a tattoo could be seen on the back of the billionaire’s left hand.It had numbers on it.They simply read 20/20/20.The rays of light congregated over his head to give the appearance of a halo.The entire scene was ethereal.You would have been impressed.Is that new? wondered the artist, showing a clear curiosity.Didn’t notice it before.Yep, responded the tycoon.I had someone in Trastevere do it for me last night.Cool, right? spoke the billionaire, appearing as innocent as a newborn.Sort of, pronounced the artist as he let out a monstrous yawn, then sipped from a takeaway cup of coffee.Great coffee here in Italy, he added.Well, the tattoo is temporary, admitted the billionaire.I got it because today’s The 20/20/20 Formula day.It really is one of the most important of all our training days together.I feel blessed to be here with you two.I’m starting to feel we’re family now.And to be back in Rome is so incredibly special.I stopped coming here after my wife, Vanessa, passed away.Just hurt too much to be here without her, he confessed, before looking away.Stone Riley then dug into a pocket of his sweatpants and pulled out a wishbone.He carefully placed the object on one of the steps that had a series of mysterious drawings on it.The billionaire asked his two guests to make a wish, before instructing them to pull it apart as a sign of good luck.I brought this to our session this morning not only to create even more great vibes for you cats, continued the billionaire.I also want you both to remember that a wishbone without a backbone doesn’t really get you very far, he explained.And the ‘no idea works without doing the work’ insight, reinforced the entrepreneur as she did a yoga stretch into the increasing sun.Sort of, replied the billionaire.I know you both long to lead productive, excellent, happy and meaningful lives.Yes, dreams and desires are just wishbones.Rising before daybreak is your backbone to get them done.The power of getting up early really comes from the daily application of The 20/20/20 Formula, the magnate continued.Give me a hug before we get going, people! bellowed the billionaire affectionately as he embraced the artist and entrepreneur.Welcome to my beloved Roma! he added as the song Come un Pittore by the group Modà began to play from an open window of a nearby apartment.A curtain hung out of it, flirting with the soft breeze.Let’s rock this piece.It’s not just rising early that makes this regime so powerful.As you now know, the way you start your day dramatically influences how it unfolds.Some people get up early but destroy the value of their morning routine by watching the news, surfing online, scanning social feeds and checking messages.This way of acting causes members of the majority to miss out on doing the things that would allow them to leverage the quietude of this special time to help them maximize greatness so awesome days show up consistently.And as we create each day, so we craft our life, right? asserted the artist, confirming a key piece of information he’d learned on the beach of the billionaire’s oceanfront compound.That’s The Day Stacking Foundation.I still remember that model.Absolutely correct, applauded the billionaire.And I need to say that beginning your day intelligently, healthily and peacefully isn’t only about optimizing your public and private success.Riley, and then continued on his way.A dopo, replied the billionaire loud enough for the man to hear.Gnarly costume, right? he said to his students.The billionaire rubbed his fake tattoo and looked toward the Colosseum.That man we just saw makes me think of the Auriga, a type of slave in ancient Rome, who would transport important Roman leaders and was chosen for his trustworthiness.Her hair was styled in the ponytail that she liked.She had her bracelets on.And she absolutely radiated optimism.‘Memento homo’ is Latin for ‘remember you are only a man,’ the billionaire answered.I’ve seen some artistic geniuses blow up their creative empires and destroy their good reputations because they didn’t manage their success properly.So, I hear you.Def, said the entrepreneur.I mean, definitely, she quickly corrected as she clasped the hand of her new boyfriend.I’ve seen so many rocketship companies lose their market share because they fell in love with their winning formula.They lost their fire.They got bloated and cocky.As you apply The 20/20/20 Formula, always remember to keep improving the way you run it each morning.Because nothing fails like success.It’s time to stop being a fugitive from your highest self and accept membership into a new order of ability, bravery and understanding of the call on your lives to inspire humanity.He then walked across the stone platform atop the Spanish Steps and raised two fingers of his right hand to show the universal sign for peace.Next, he waved an arm in the direction of a man on a seat heating up chestnuts in Piazza di Spagna, near the foot of Via dei Condotti.The man wore a gray shirt that had wrinkles over the chest area, navy blue trousers and yellow running shoes.Here you go, Grande.Good to see you back in Roma, Boss. The man spoke with a rich Italian accent and a voice as gritty as sandpaper.Molto gentile, Adriano, the billionaire said as he kissed the palm of a hand before extending it for a handshake.He’s one of my best.He grew up in the town of Alba in the Piemonte region of this exceptional nation.You cats like tartufo?What’s that? queried the artist, looking a little confused by the scenario that had just played out.Truffles, baby! enthused the billionaire.My goodness, they taste incredible.On tagliolini pasta with melted butter drizzled over it.Or when grated over jiggly fried eggs.My, oh my, food of the emperors it is! The billionaire’s eyes were as wide as a prairie while he imagined the meal he was describing.A razor thin line of drool meandered out of the right corner of his mouth.Yes, a line of drool.Beyond weird, right?Adriano, who had remained in position, discreetly handed his employer a handkerchief.He looked at the entrepreneur and the artist with a glance that seemed to say, I know he’s strange, but we love him, too.And then all four people perched upon that overwhelmingly alluring site started to laugh.Have a great morning, Boss, Adriano said as he prepared to leave.I’ll meet you in Testaccio this evening.Thank you so much for inviting me to eat with you tonight.Are we eating cacio e pepe, as usual?Si, confirmed the billionaire.A presto.Alba is where white truffles come from, explained the billionaire.Specially trained dogs sniff them out.Maybe in the future, I’ll take you guys on a truffle hunt with me.Anyhoo, have a look at this fantastic learning model.The Spellbinder actually deconstructed The Victory Hour and The 20/20/20 Formula for us.Zero questions about how to run your morning routine now.No room for excuses.It’s all laid out for you.Just run the play and you’ll own your day.If you really loved yourself, you’d relinquish all your feelings of not being good enough to be great and renounce all slavery to your weakness.You’d stop focusing on your deficiencies and celebrate your amazing qualities.Actually, in all of history, there’s never been even one person exactly like you.And there never will be.Yes, you’re that special.So, embrace the full force of your lavish talent, luminous strengths and breathtaking powers.Let go of the destructive habit of breaking the commitments you make to yourself.Keep behaving like that and the unconscious part of you will begin to believe you’re not worth anything.We always perform in a way that is aligned with the way we see ourselves.And so, our thinking creates our results.And the less we value ourselves and our powers, he went on, the less power we have access to.
