For the layman its mainly the 4 precepts, avoiding killing, stealing, raping, lying. Its harder than one thinks to get thru life avoiding these!! Keeping the precepts will definitely protect you and raise you avoid nearly all humanity quite easily and keep you on the path. Then go for samma-sati, don't worry about samadhi, that is the culmination of the previous 7 factors. As for intoxicants, if you use them as mindful ethical person, beware that others will not have the same tolerance as you. There are many other right views learned from the suttas that help one. As you grow older, maintaining even just sila, you will be very different than people who are total puthujjanas, they act friendly, but are seething masses of confusion and despair under the surface. Its ALL about who you associate with. Find the most ethical people in your area, advice to them, help them. Once people lie to you past a threshold, cut them out of your life. This keep you on the good path. There are many suttas for laypeople, such as basic advice like, save some money, invest some in your business, and use some for sensual pleasures for yourself, family, and friends.

like  said just take refuge and keep the precepts, practice on a daily basis or as often and as much as you can. practice pranayama, stabilize your mental state, maintain equilibrium, be as good a person as you can be and encourage everyone around you, mostly passively through example, without imposing, to do the same. keep engaging in these subjects on /x/ and elsewhere, promulgate the law, keep the memes going out there. it really does make a difference.
