Myron Golden shares Tony Robbins' framework for modeling excellence: adopt someone's beliefs, physiology, and language patterns. But greatness in one area doesn't mean wisdom everywhere. Golden's rule: eat the fish, throw away the bone. Take what works, discard the rest.

Hey there, my friend Myron golden here. I just want to share with you one of the most valuable lessons I ever learned in my life in modeling greatness was from Tony Robbins. He said, if you want to duplicate any form of human excellence, find somebody who's good at what you want to be good at and model three things. Model their belief systems, number one, number two, model their physiology, and number three, model their syntax. Well, I believe that that absolutely is 100% correct with one exception. Greatness doesn't always equal Y. Just because somebody's good at one thing doesn't mean everything they do. It makes sense or it's wise or you should do it. So I've learned to model people, but when I model them, I eat the fish, but I throw away the bone. I don't think there's ever anybody that I've ever modeled that I've modeled every single thing they do and every single thing they are. I take the best, I model it, I duplicate it without copying it or plagiarizing, but I throw the rest away. Don't do everything they do just because you have respect for them. There are some things they do you don't want to do.
