You Can Do Just About Anything That Someone Else Can Do

If someone else can do it, chances are - so can you.  The trick is to find someone who is doing, being, or achieving what you wish to accomplish and then model their behavior. 

Success coaches in the not too distant past used to recommend finding a mentor or someone accomplished in your field to guide you on your path.  That is still a good strategy but the really great news is with the information technology available today, you can learn the behaviors behind almost any kind of success.

The behaviors behind great success stories like Michael Jordan, Oprah, Steve Jobs, and Jack Welch are at your fingertips as well as in the book store.  All are worth studying because there are underlying themes that are useful in pursuit of any goal. 

You can also look for models in your own environment.  Want to be more fit?  Who do you know that is balancing a busy schedule like you and managing to stay fit?  How are they doing it?  Want to be more patient with your children?  Who in your environment is demonstrating this behavior for you that you can emulate?  What SPECIFICALLY are they doing when faced with a challenging situation?

If you can find someone achieving the goals you have set for yourself, you have discovered a road map to the goal for yourself.  Reaching the destination is MUCH easier with that map.  Use it!
