You're Not Andrew Tate You're Not Alex Hormozi You're Not Sam Ovens

Here's the thing. You're not Andrew Tate, you're not Alex Hormozi, you're not Sam Ovens, and you're not Charlie Morgan. And so here's the thing, though, is you probably need to pretend to be these people because who you are now is not capable of having, you know, incredible success or incredible results. And there's something about these people that they've had incredible success and incredible results, and that's why they're so, you know, successful and famous and. And are able to, you know, do incredible numbers of making millions of dollars a month. And so there's something in there where you got to test, you got to try different things out to find out who you really are. And the only way to find yourself is to lose yourself and to become delusional and to try out doing other things. And so I see a lot on Twitter and social media where people are making fun of these people that are like Andrew Tate lookalikes or Alexa Mosey lookalikes or Iman Gadzhi lookalikes, and they get a lot of shit because, you know, they're not actually that person. And they're trying to. They're presenting like a false version of themselves. But I think that's, you know, overlooking a small or a huge part of, like, our personal development and growth and really becoming like, the best version of yourself. And, in fact, the person I am has become a. A constant emulation of so many people and finding which parts of those people that are me and that I'm. That's easy for me, and then finding out which parts of those people are not me. And I tested so many different things out, like, especially when it comes to making videos and making content. I tried a lot of stuff, and I'm still trying to kind of figure out, like, what it is that's. That's me. And I've made videos that get, like, hundreds of thousands and millions of views. And I've also made a ton of videos that got, like, jack ship reviews. I've made over a thousand videos in the past, whatever, five, six years, And I've had a lot of success. I've also had a lot of failure. And a lot of it was I would try to find somebody. I would just pretend to pretend to be them. As in, like, if they had my life experience and they've gone through the things that I've gone through, what would. What would be the. What would be the substance? Like, how would they present the information? What would they do? What would their, you know, mental model be and what would be their perspective of what they should do right now? And the more that I would, I guess, tell myself that that was bad and not, you know, not good, that I was trying to be pretend to be these people, the more that I kind of discouraged myself and the more that I got away from actually being able to find myself. And it actually kind of deprecated my personal development and my growth because I kept telling myself, oh, I'm not that person, and I was being a false version of myself, when in reality, I was just accentuating different parts of my personality. Because we're all things, you know, all of us are some form of an introvert. All of us are some form of an extrovert. All of us are some form of an incredibly masterful salesperson. And some of us. And then there's parts of us that is an incredibly masterful marketer, and part of us is an incredibly masterful filming and looking at systems and building systems. All of us have features, and the issue is, how do we pull out these features? And the best way that I have found is through emulation and emulating other people that have what we're looking for and other personality traits. You know, there's parts of us where we're scared and we're afraid of doing things and we're a little bitch. And there's parts of us where we're courageous and we do what other people are fearful of. And so we can pull these aspects out of ourselves by pretending to be people. I'll tell you kind of my personal story is when I first got started into YouTube and uploading content and creating my own brand, I, you know, I found somebody that was a little bit better than me at YouTube. His name was Hayden. Actually, it's kind of funny. I became friends with him over time. Mutual friends and stuff like that. His name was like Hayden Bowles. If you know anything about, you know, money, YouTube and stuff like that. I think this was like six years ago, seven years ago. His content was doing really well. And I was, you know, I had some success in real estate, and I was like, I was kind of a loser. But his content was doing well. I think he had like 10,000 subscribers at the time or so. And so what I did was, is I watched his videos and I just pretended to be Aiden in my videos. And I did that for a little bit. I was awkward. He was awkward in his content, and it just. It just kind of meshed well with my personality at the time. And then I think there's so many people that I've tried. I think one guy, this is super niche, but his name was like Max Maxwell. He was like real estate guy. And then inevitably I found Alex Becker content and then I pretended to be Alex Becker for a while with my content. You'll even find some YouTube videos of me where I was in my garage and I had my, you know, $100,000 supercar behind me. It was no Aventadora Ferrari like he had in his videos, but I had my $100,000AMG GT in the back background. And sometimes I still will make some videos where I have cars in my background in my garage and I'll pretend to, you know, have that mindset. Now, obviously I'm not going to have any of the experiences that I'll expect. Did maybe like some experiences that are somewhat similar. But I would treat my, I would tell myself that I was this person, you know, like me doing this video right now. It's kind of a resemblance of like Tai Lopez recording his videos and walking around his backyard and in his garage and recording content. And so, and all of these people that you look at like that, that we look up to, and Alex Mosey, Tai Lopez, like I said, the list goes on. They just emulated somebody else. They had somebody that they pretended to be when they did their videos and their content. And that person that they pretended to be was kind of the personality that showed up on camera. And it was ultimately like an accentuated version of themselves. Now obviously I'm not ever gonna be 100 of any of these people, but when I, you know, ask myself, what would Tai Lopez do? It's kind of like the whole saying, like, what would Jesus do? Jesus do. But just asking myself, what would this person do? And in this situation with this exact problem, and they would go do this, or they would talk about points this way or they would go do these things. And so the main thing is emulation isn't bad. I think it's been super frowned upon in the world of self help and personal development and making money online. But I think there's something to it. I think, I think people make like, like I said, there's something to it. And I've done all sorts of stupid, like, I've, I've done all sorts of weird emulation things. Like I really didn't care about watches and I got into buying watches, I got into, I, I love cars, that was one thing. But I more so bought a car just because it was like what the people I looked up to had. I Moved into a nice house because I saw that's what other people had as well. You know, Tylope's videos, he had his backyard. And I was like, cool, I want to have a backyard. Now. This might feel like, you know, the discovery of Santa Claus isn't real type of thing, but there is some like, secret and there's some magic to all of it. There's some truth to it, and that is find somebody that you inspire to be. It could be real or it could be fictional. You know, I have some fictional people I try to be as well sometimes. And it's not that I'm like faking it. I saw a talk from this guy, he wrote a book on this called the Alter Ego. I went and saw him actually speak at an event and there was something that like, you know, there were some cool concepts he talked about inside of there, which I can kind of delve into a little bit. But seeing him talk about this made me realize that, oh, that's why I've been successful to this point. That's why I was able to get to where I was making millions of dollars a year. You know, that's why I've been able to hit $300,000 in a month, is because I, you know, always try to pretend to be people. And then the months where I had kind of my downfalls were when I was like, oh no, that's not the real version of myself. And I would have this kind of inner conflict and inner dialogue that was self deprecating, I guess. And it was because I was trying to be like, oh, no, no, no, you had to be yourself. Not knowing really who I was yet I was still trying to find who I am. I know not even at this age, I'm like 25, I still don't really know who I am. You know, it's still, you know, there's still a long ways that I have to go and developing this Persona. And the best way to kind of develop that is to try a little bit of everything, to try to become a little bit of everybody that I see and to try to ingrain those kind of mindsets and those beliefs and those thoughts and those philosophies and trying to apply them to myself. And I've emulated so many people, the list goes on. From Charlie Munger to Tony Stark to James Bond. And like I said, this is kind of the unmasking of a Santa Claus here a little bit. But you need to do this for yourself if you want to do some incredible things. Things. Go find A person that has what you want and try to be them. And they're probably doing the same exact thing. They're trying to pretend to be somebody else, which, like I said, it's not fake. It's not. It's not wearing a mask. It is wearing a mask, but it's just. It's wearing the shoes of the other person and becoming that person and emulating that person and making the same exact decisions that they would make based off of your circumstances and apply that. So it's like you're trying to build that business. You're trying to. For me, I talk about faceless YouTube channels a lot. It's. It's like studying, okay, if I was Mr. Beast building the faceless YouTube channel, what would I do? What would Mr. Beast do in this situation? How. What would he focus on? What would he spend most of his time doing? How would he make decisions around what niche he would pick? What. What constant strategy would he do? What would be his mindset? What would be his, like, mental. What mental models would that person use? And so, you know, like, I think these days, I think a lot of that has been wielded falsely, I think, like, you know, superheroes, they used to be super macho and masculine, and then now superheroes are lame. Like, you look at Spider man, like, dude, the guy's a, you know, the guy's a pussy, but he's cool in a way. Tom Holland's pretty cool, but it's like, you know, he's not really the most masculine man. And it's kind of like what the. You know, I think. I think some certain organizations or, you know, people in this world, world know the power of emulation and the power of being a fan of something. And so we got to look at. We got to ask ourselves, who are our heroes? And play a lot into that. You know, us as. Us as children, we were really good at that. We would always play pretend. We would always play pretend to be, you know, Batman and trying to solve the crime and do the thing or whatever. It was like we were really good at playing for 10. And it's not, you know, all. All that we are is just big children at the end of the day. So it's really natural for us to try to pretend to be these people and to try to emulate these things and so find out who that is that, you know, that you aspire to be. Maybe it's. Maybe it's a football player. Maybe it's a. I don't know, whoever it is, pick it and Just study them, see what they would do. And then when you're doing something, ask yourself, what would this person do? And do those things, Would they sit around and just watch Netflix and all day, or would they go out of their way to try to become the best version of themselves? Or would they take action on the thing? Would they start that business? Would they not start that business? What would they do if they. If you were them, and you apply this a little bit, day by day, bit by bit, and you'll realize that was me the whole time. That was you the whole time. There was nothing different. You just had to trick your mind maybe a little bit to kind of get off the fence, sense or, you know, to. To be a, you know, an aspect of yourselves. But that person has superpowers. And that. That person is you. That's. That person is within yourself. So ask yourself, who's somebody that you look up to? Maybe it's me. I don't know. I'm not that crazy to my own mind, but maybe it is me. You know, maybe you're. You want to be Devon Canup and do all these things, or maybe it's somebody else out there. So find who that person is. Pick a role model. And it's okay to have role models. There's nothing, you know, it feels childlike. I think it. I think us as growing up, we get told that it. To be a child is an issue, you know, to. To break the rules, to be a child, to. To think that a table is a. Is a dance floor. But you get told that that's a problem, and we need to. To be a certain thing. We need to. You know, we needed to be civilized people. And I think that's the issue with society is we get told that we can't be children. Children. When in reality, we are all children. We all have that spirit. That spirit gets robbed from us. So are you going to let that spirit keep being robbed from you, or are you going to allow it to be your superpower and to allow you to be the greatest version of yourself that's out there, that other people are going to look at you and think, wow, I want to be like that person. We all have a choice. The choice is yours.
