You will never win in business or life by being a copy of somebody else.
Never.
...and I say this for very practical reasons too.
1. When you copy somebody else...
What you're actually copying is what you see right now.
What you see right now is the result of conversations, experiences, and planning over the last 3-5 years.
That literally means you will always be 3-5 years behind these people.
Always.
2. Authenticity is your superpower.
There is far more value in being true to yourself than living in the shadow of somebody else.
Trust me...
Nobody likes a copycat.
...and being one will do irreversible damage to your own reputation.
There is nothing wrong with taking inspiration and valuable information from people who are much further down the road than you.
It would be ignorant not to.
But there is a massive difference between utilizing their lessons and walking your own path as opposed to molding your entire strategy and identity around another person.
Focus on what's going to help you win.
Not what's helped anybody else win.
That's loser shit.
