When growing your comfort zone, one way to amplify your success is to have role models to learn from
These don’t have to be people that you know personally – you can learn from the success of people from both history and the world today
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1 – Know what your trying to accomplish
Building a business?
Have a personal achievement that you’re working towards?
Knowing what you want to accomplish will help you pick the right role model
Step 2 – Look for others that have had success with what you want to do
Who’s conquered similar mountains to the ones you want to?
No matter what your goals in life are, chances are that somebody’s been down a similar path before.
Find them and follow them.
Step 3 – Anticipate where the speed bumps may be
Starting a business with little cash? If that’s going to be a problem, find out who’s done well with it
Not sure how to get your message out? Find someone who has found a way to project a loud voice from a normally quiet place
Fighting through a maze or a rat race? Look for people who have managed to do the same – and came out successful
Step 4 – Follow the little things
Often, it is the little things in your role model’s attitude that made them successful.
How do they project themselves?
What is their temperament?
How do they deal with the little situations?
What about the big ones?
How do they act when somebody insults them? When they hit a point of failure?
Following these little thing will give you a glimpse into their lives.
As you continue to model these individuals and take action, you’ll understand their perspectives and logic
Step 5 – Ask Yourself – What would ______ Do?
It’s good to have 2 or 3 role models in every area you’re looking to grow in
When you get to a situation, you’ll be able to ask yourself “what would _____ do?”
The more you understand the individual, and their mindset, the more that you’ll likely be able to understand and learn from their insight.
