How Finding Them Will Accelerate Your Achievements

Have you experienced any problem that you could not find the answer? But you eventually found it after doing some work and spending some time finding the answer. Imagine if you didn’t have to do this, imagine that you could get the answer whenever you want. Would this be good? Would it save you lots of time? Great. Then you should employ the strategy of learning from the experts.

What are your goals? Can you find anybody that you can follow? You can emulate their success by following their footsteps. In the phenomenal bestselling personal finance book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, Robert Kiyosaki mentioned about having someone to look up to. For him, he had his ‘Rich Dad’ to look up to and follow his footsteps. He called them ‘heroes’.

So if you want to achieve your goal in the fastest possible way, you need to have heroes. Why is this the fastest? The reason is because you will know what exact steps to achieve your goals. Your own ‘heroes’ could have spent months testing a formula to achieve a goal, but you can achieve your goals faster if you can learn from their mistakes.

So how are you going to get in contact with these experts? Must you pay $100 000 to get their ‘secrets’? NO! You don’t need to.

How to Choose Your Role Model In Your Field

The simple answer is to find who is an expert in your field and read their books! Some of them share their thoughts and journey by writing books. For those experts who don’t write books, get books which are written about them. The authors would have done the extensive research for you.

Do you inspire to become a great chef? Then find your own hero. Jamie Oliver could be someone you want to model. Read his books, learn from him. You can find other role models in this field like Mario Batali or Rachael Ray.

Do you want to be a great investor? Take Warren Buffet for example, there are so many books about him. So if you want to become a great investor, you can learn from the best investor in the world by reading books about him! This way you get to learn his techniques of investing in the stock market. How does he make billions just by investing? What are the methods of investing that allowed him to become one of the wealthiest men in the world? By reading books about him you will not repeat mistakes made by him, at the same time you are learning from one of the best investors in the world!

Emulate Your Role Model’s Success!

• Conduct a thorough analysis of their behavioral patterns. Evaluate your personal behavioral patterns. Do you give up easily? Do you get things done way past your project deadline? See how YOU can follow their behavioral patterns.
How do they respond to problems? How productive are they? If they can complete a project within 2 months while you take 6 months, try and see where you can improve yourself by looking at how they get things done.

• Find out their strong points that enable them to achieve what you want to achieve. Do they achieve results faster than you? Figure this out and try and correct your weaknesses and replace it with their strong points!

• Evaluate their strategy for achieving results. If you have a chance, just ask them. Sometimes when we have big projects, it is easy for us to start with enthusiasm and let our zeal slowly die down. If this is your weakness, it is your job to find out how people in your field keep motivated all the time.

• If you have other situations that slow your progress to achieve something, find out how to correct that strategy. Change it by learning from your role models. It is much faster as you can learn from their mistakes.
You do not need to repeat their mistakes. Of course, this does not mean you will not make mistakes, but there is a lower chance of you making the same mistakes as your role models if you have evaluated their effective strategy
