18) Consciously Model Patterns of Excellence!

by Adam Khoo

Some people acknowledge the power of modeling; however, they feel
uncomfortable about copying someone else's style. They say, 'I am
not comfortable with this as I feel like I am not being myself. I
am trying to be someone else instead'.

As a result they deprive themselves of the power of modeling
excellence and producing exceptional results in a short time.

Well, let me ask you a question.

Think about the behaviors and physiology that you exhibit right
now. Where did they come from? Were you born with your gestures,
mannerisms, tone of voice and behaviors? No. You behave the way you
do now because ever since you were a kid, you had been
unconsciously modeling the behaviors and physiologies of the people
around you.

Do you realize that the way you speak or react to things may
sometimes be similar to your parents or your close friends?
And, the mannerism or gestures you exhibit could have come from
people whom you admired (for whatever reason), and unconsciously
adopted as your own. So, you have already been modeling your whole
life, this is nothing new.

The problem is that in the past, you did not consciously model
people of excellence. As a result, you may have unconsciously
modeled a lot of ineffective behaviors and negative states of the
people around you.

For example, if you are a poor mixer or ineffective communicator,
it is because you (unconsciously) modeled poor speakers and
communicators when you were young.

If you are a poor decision maker and constantly find yourself
feeling anxious and lacking in confidence, it is because you have
unknowingly adopted the patterns from your friends or family.
Haven't you ever behaved in a certain way and suddenly realized,
'oh my gosh! I'm becoming mother or father!'

So, isn't it time you start to consciously delete ineffective
models of the past and start modeling and adopting patterns of
people who exhibit excellence instead?

Another point to understand is that modeling is not just about
copying. It is about replicating and then improving on what you
have modeled, or modifying it to suit your personal style.

For example, if you were a woman and you were to model the
physiology of a male speaker exactly, it may not come off that
well. You may have to modify elements of that person's physiology
to suit your personality.

Model the best patterns, combine and adapt them to make them your
own. That is what modeling is all about.
