A technique used by many successful people is called modeling. In order to model success you must find someone that has had success in their field. After that you must study that persons every move. What you are trying to do is get into this persons mind so that you can figure out what makes them so successful. Most people that perform a task very well do so because they have mastered a strategy that works for them. They repeat processes and task over and over again until they can perform the task without even thinking about it .

You want to find out what strategy they are using so that you can use the same strategy to help you become successful too.

After you have studied a successful person or top performer you then try to model (replicate) that success by doing exactly what they did to accomplish the level of success that they have achieved . If they studied a subject three hours each morning for three years in role, you would do the same . If the person you are studying believed that nothing could stop them from achieving success, you should think the same. Not only think it, but believe it as strongly as they do. Your mission is to think like they think, do what they have done in order to succeed. You should lose yourself in their actions and thoughts.

Allow yourself to escape your world and enter into that persons world. You will need to understand their beliefs about success and why it is they think that way. After that you adapt their beliefs about success as your own.

Example, let's say that you knew nothing about golf but your goal was to become a successful golfer. In this case you could study Tiger Woods. You would want study all aspects of his game by viewing video tape of him competing in different golfing tournaments. I would also join forums, blogs and sign up to any news letters he might have. I would Study all the tips and insider secrets I could find that made him successful. I did some research and collected some resources a person would need in order to study Tiger. You would do the same for the person you are modeling .

Lets look at what I find out about Tiger. Keep in mind that the keys to his success are common among successful people in general.

#1. He has a excellent work ethics when it comes to golf.

people that are successful are very hard working. Part of the reason for their success has to do with the level of passion they have for what they do.You can't possibly put in the hours need to succeed at something if you don't like what you are doing .But, what if you have to be successful at something you don't really like doing? Good question. This is the case for many how work for someone else. Here is what i noticed about some but not all successful people. Some of them have trained themselves to love a challenge.

With this type of person it is not about whether or not they like doing something, it's about master another skill, taking on another challenge.

With each challenge they overcome their confidence becomes stronger. That confidence affects other areas of their lives in a positive way. In order to achieve great thing we must stay out of our comfort zone and learn to work hard at any task placed in front of us, like the task or not. Most Successful people believe that they are the hardest working person in their industry and they can't image anyone else out working them. But Don't get it confused. The actual work is just a byproduct, they really proud themselves on the amount of dedication and passion they have towards what they do .

Below is a example of someone that believes they are the hardest working person in their field:

" I love the sport of hustling my own books, creating my own destiny, fulfilling my fantasies and desires as oppose to just day dreaming about it. It makes me feel alive; the art of the deal is bliss to me. I was built for this part of the game. This is where I make my mark. NO ONE is going to out work me…I won’t allow it. I am not a fan of thinking about it. I DO IT!" Kisha Green

#2. Tiger is also a extremely focused individuals.
Most successful people are able to focus on their goals in way that other only dream of. I will not go into here but they apply different techniques in order to achieve this level of focus. The point is that you also must become focused. You then dedicate yourself to reaching your goal no matter the cost .

#3. He is very obsessed with flawless executions.

Successful people are really concerned with how well they execute the game plan. They evaluate how well they executed the plan and how well they performed under pressure. In order to get into the zone you must have a game plan and you must go over the game plan in your head plenty of time.

People that study their game plan and picture themselves performing are doing so because they plan to perform flawlessly. You have to ask yourself to do better because that is what successful people ask of themselves. They hold themselves accountable and also measure their results so that they may do better the next time around.

"Flawless execution is like the perfect round of golf: always attempted,never attainable, although pieces of it may be perfect along the way. But for me , and for countless fighter pilots out there, it defines our way of life. We are always in pursuit of flawless execution, pursuit is our way of life." James D. Murphy

While studying Tiger one would also notice that he is highly competitive and driven when it comes to the game of golf. Golf is something he has dedicated thousands of hours to in order to achieve the level of success that he has obtained. People like Tiger and Jack Nicholson are extremely confident in their ability to win. They expect to win so they prepare themselves to do just that. Practice , practice and more practice is how Tiger prepares for game day. You should do the same if you want to master a skill needed to take you to the top.

The reason I created this example using Tiger Woods was to demonstrate how studying success can increase your own chances of being successful. Modeling success creates a road map for you to follow. No need to worry about what to do next. Once you set out to model a successful person you put yourself in a position to achieve your goals much faster then you could by simply learning through trail and error.

You can model the following:

You can study successful individuals
You can study a successful business or business model
You can study successful leaders and coaches. People that leader others to victory would be a perfect pick.
You can also study success programs, systems and successful strategies
