Dress Smartly

If there is one thing that jumps out about Bond right away it is that he is always impeccably dressed and groomed. Even if you can't afford to spend money on designer tuxedos and suits, you can still make the most of what you have by making an extra effort on your grooming.

We never see 007 looking rough or disheveled, so you will want to take care to always look your best, just like he does. After all, you never know what sort of situation you are going to end up in or who you are going to meet, so you need to be prepared for anything. Dressing smartly brings you a whole new air of confidence anyway.

Learn How to Stay Cool in a Casino

The classic image of Bond coolly gambling at the baccarat table or the roulette wheel shows his ability to stay cool and under control even when the stakes are high. His love of gambling is shown in the books and in the movies, so you might like to brush up on these skills.

Perhaps the best way to get started and learn the tricks is by playing online at a live casino such as Mr Smith Casino, where you can pick your game from a range of the most iconic table games and play with a real dealer. There is even a James Bond roulette strategy that follows the tactics that he uses in the books to cover a number of different possibilities on each turn, for those who want to take things to a higher level.

Embrace and Understand the Latest Technology

James has often saved the day thanks to the use of some sort of new-fangled gadget that Q has presented him with. Some of these famous gadgets now exist in real life, although many others are probably too incredible to ever get made.

You might never need to use a homing pill, an underwater jetpack or a mini-rocket cigarette, but you should definitely be open-minded when it comes to trying out new technology if you want to be more like Bond. Whether it is for work or for pleasure, boldly trying out the latest technology can enrich your life and might even help you out of one or two sticky situations.

Don't Back Down from a Challenge

Don't under-sell yourself or settle for the safe option every time. By taking a few chances and pushing yourself to the limit you can start to feel the thrill of being more like Bond in many different situations.
