In this motivational training segment, the speaker addresses business owners and students, emphasizing that choosing and modeling oneself after a role model is a key "unfair advantage" for career and personal success. He argues that aspirations are shaped by what we have seen and admired, so identifying a distinguished figure in one's desired field—whether through TV, books, biographies, or personal observation—provides a concrete template for behavior, mindset, and goals. The speaker shares personal role models such as Nelson Mandela, Cameroonian radio personalities, and a favorite journalist, illustrating how their stories inspired his own path. Practical suggestions include reading biographies, watching relevant media, attending webinars, and engaging with role‑model content to internalize their habits. He concludes by urging listeners to define their own role model and promises the next lesson will contrast wisdom with practical knowledge, further extending the unfair‑advantage framework.

Hey, my friend, I know you are doing so well. Hey, I'm just excited because, you know, even if you are just a business owner, this course was going to help you to identify the right people to put on your team because your business always going to depend on the type of people you surround yourself with. And if you are just a student and you want to tap into another level out there, this is going to help you. I mean, this— I, I think this is just advantage, right? Unfair advantage is just some information out there that— I mean, information like this that you're the only one who knows exactly how to do it and how to get there. So when you position yourself, people will be like, man, how do you do that? I mean, you are special. Where do you learn this from? You tell them that, hey, it's just some of those unfair advantages. So Today I will talk about point number 3. You know, when you know exactly what you want in life and you know exactly what you want to do in life, the industry you want to get in, you have to do something very, very, very great that I will talk about in a minute. Chance is that whatever we're trying to become or whatever we aspire to be in life is because we saw that somewhere, right? So you have to have a role model. You have to have a role model. Let's say if you wish to be the best journalist, I think you probably watched TV and saw this great man, the way he talked, the way he articulated, you love it. The way he dressed, it triggers something out of you and now you want to do the same thing. Maybe, you know, you walk in a plane and you saw the pilot, you hear the pilot and And then since then, you're like, man, I want to become a pilot. I want to walk— I want to be a flight attendant. Because you saw the way they was dressed, the way they move around with their bag in a group. I mean, check up, check in on Hilton Hotel and all this thing. You were like, wow, this is cool. You have to have a role model. You have to find somebody you could model yourself after. The truth is that There's no way you can go where you never— where you are— where you have never been in your mind. If you never dream of it, if you don't admire it, you'll never get there. Matter of fact, what you don't model doesn't exist. Every limitation in your life is because you never— I mean, you never saw before. You can't touch it, you can't dream it. So the role model will take you exactly where you want to go or where you want to be. Your role model will inspire you. Your, your role model will encourage you, not physically, but when you think about your role model, when you observe your role model, it molds yourself. It, it just triggers something within you. Matter of fact, you don't have to be talking back and forth with your role model. I mean, I have some of my role models that I never talked to before. That I never talked to. I read their book, I read their biography, I read about them, but I never ever see them. Just like Nelson Mandela. He's one of my role models. When I want to give up on something, I think about him like, man, this guy was in jail. They put him in jail because he wanted to become a president. And he left the jail after, I mean, 20-some years, and he, he still, you know, fulfilled his dream. Role model. Whatever job you aspire to have, make sure you have a role model. What's the best person on earth that you can read a biography, that you can observe, that you can truly model yourself after. So you have to find somebody who is— have a great distinction in your area and then model yourself after that person. I remember when I was a lot younger, I really, I mean, I love Fuli Dioram. We was— I mean, he was living right next door to me and I want to be a radio personality. I want to talk in front of people because of Dely. You know, Delhi, I mean, it was great. And before Follin, that was, uh, I don't know if his name was Joseph Mingon with the emission À Cœur Ouvert in French for those who know, who are in Cameroon. I mean, I used to stay up and listen to À Cœur Ouvert till midnight, and I want to talk, I want to help people, I want to solve problems. And you know, today when I see myself sitting here and, and share my heart with you Back then, that was not so much about business, but I modeled myself after these people. I admired them. I admired them. When, you know, Cameroon was playing, I loved Jean-Lambert. I want to listen to Jean-Lambert. So whatever he was doing, commentary and all that, I mean, I just immersed myself. What is your role model? That could be an actor. That could be a billionaire. That could be a businessman. That could be a great teacher. teacher? Who are you modeling yourself after? You have to define that. You have to do that. And in order to do that, sometimes you need to go— just like within this training, you know, you learn from it. You can do webinar. You can connect to your role model through book, like I say early. You can, you know, nail down and connect to some of your role models through workshop, even on TV. While you watch TV, you can admire certain people that can trigger the need to get into that industry. Again, we are trying to really, really, really mold you so whatever you are going with your career, you'll be doing exactly what you want to do, and you can do long time because you actually prompt yourself properly to do it. So tomorrow we talk about something very, very, very, very important. I think this is going to be like, you know, when the wisdom makes the practical, practical. I mean, when you see the difference between wisdom and the practical and traditional knowledge. So we'll talk about that tomorrow. And this again is going to give you an unfair advantage. See you tomorrow.
