The above video is me on Los Angeles TV in 1998 when I first coined the term 'James Bond Lifestyle'.
I was surprised by the good production the TV show did using clips from Bond movies. They took me seriously, but when I first started the JBLS, some people laughed and said, "Is this about womenizing and killing people?" Now the term is often used in advertising and news stories.
I first had a 90 minute cassette tape. But there was much more success ideas that I had to share. So, it went to a 230 page book, an eight-hour audio-book with effects & music, to the 2015 SPECTRE edition on Kindle that is 360 pages.
I used many JBLS techniques to face my fears, be efficient, handle 180 cast & crew members to produce my award winning 2018 movie; Forbidden Power. I kept asking myself, "What would James Bond do in this situation?"
The answer always came back;
"James Bond would not fold under pressure. He would focus.
He would call up his talent at will and deliver on a deadline.
He would improvise, adapt and overcome.
And he would never breath a word about giving up."

One trait you didn't mention is that to be Bond, one has to be rugged and handsome. Something that you portray, but many men can't or don't. Recent Bonds haven't been so handsome, but they overcome that with more athletic prowess and uncanny intuition that many men simply do not possess. Also, while Bond is provided mucho cash for his operation by the Secret Service, the average Joe working a low playing job, trying to pay off his college loans cannot afford to carry around gold coins and have ready cash on a clip to show women that he is a man of means… When he isn't.
Incidentally, my twin brother has recently upgraded his silver BMW Z3 as depicted in your video to a Z4 and is currently juggling at least three girlfriends after tragically (like Bond) losing his second wife. His center of operation, his cars, and his boat are all very organized and clean. I can't say the same for my lifestyle. I'll be Bond only in my mind. Taking two single ladies on a cruise soon with only my credit cards for cash.
