Quote: “Success Leaves Clues”
“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.”
– Tony Robbins
Understand the big idea or meaning behind this quote:
“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.” – Tony Robbins
This is similar to his other quote about success leaves clues.
“Long ago, I realized that success leaves clues, and that people who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results. I believed that if I precisely duplicated the actions of others, I could reproduce the same quality of results that they had.”
Why re-invent the wheel?
Take what’s already been proven to work and take it for yourself and improve upon it. That’s how technology and innovation happens anyways.
Be a great copier.
Steve Jobs and Pablo Picasso
This idea of being a great copier, success leaving clues, is also similar to the popular quote by Pablo Picasso and Steve Jobs, “good artists borrow, great artists steal.” Again, this is not a case to be made for plagiarism and copyright but the idea of taking great ideas from someone else and making it your own.
Charlie Munger recommends we “learn from the eminent dead.” You can learn from your own mistakes and life experiences, that’ll make any person wise. But wouldn’t it be wiser to let other people go through that pain of that steep learning curve and let them make the mistakes so that we can accelerate our progress by learning what not to do?
