Nicolas Cole says half his output comes from his own ideas, half from adapting others' work. The trick is taking existing frameworks, applying them to different industries, and making them your own through execution.
You can and you should learn from other people and then write about it yourself. It's just the way that you do it without copying is you apply it in a different way. You apply it to a different industry. You apply it to solving a different problem. You take the framework and then you build on it and you change it. You augment it for your situation. A lot of the things that I write about, I'd say 50% of them I came up with on my own and 50% of them I learned things from other people and then I built on them. And so you can do the same thing. It's just in how you execute it.
