Mimic Your Way To Success!

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

I've heard that you tend to become like the 5 or 6 people you spend the most time with.

So when I want to develop a new habit, I try to hang around 5 or 6 people who have the habit I'm trying to develop.

Over time, I allow their beliefs, ideas, language, etc... to influence me. Then, without much effort, I start to achieve similar results to the people I've spent time with.

Has anyone else used this "mimic" technique?

I haven't, but I have heard that concept before. How do you find the people who are doing what you want to do? I don't know anybody else personally who has the desire that I have to break from the 9-to-5 and build multiple streams of income to be free like I want!

I've heard of this. If you don't know anyone personally that has the habits you want to develop in yourself, don't worry, it also works if you read a book written by someone who you want to emulate.

I am always reading books and listening to audio from the people I most admire. And I can always come to a place like here and interact with people I know understand where I am!

Good idea! Look at what is working for others! It might also work for you! But one also has to be flexible in this, it seems.

  It's called modelling, it comes from NLP
