THE POWER OF DUPLICATION
I can remember when photocopiers first came on the market.
But before that, I remember struggling with the machine that
used methylated spirits and when you came out from a session
of copying, you were invariably covered from head to toe in purple
ink.This was from the carbon that backed the master sheet that
was used for copying. The one advantage of this machine was
that I loved the smell of the methylated spirits.
Now to get the master copy, one had to use a typewriter.
Then there was the big Gestetner machines that used black
ink. What a mess!
But with all that aside, the power of those machines was found
in the fact, that from one original piece, one could get thousands
upon thousands of copies.
The power was in the DUPLICATION.
GET THE ORIGINAL RIGHT, THEN YOU'LL GET 'RIGHT' COPIES
I've discovered that that very same principle of DUPLICATION
can be readily applied to our daily lives. But the first thing that
we must discover is the RIGHT ORIGINAL.
In the business arena, I have to admit that I have hopped on to a
number of, what I would call, GREAT OPPORTUNITIES. Most
of them have landed me flat on my face and have left me with a
thinner wallet. But that's okay, as long as you learn from the
experience. It wasn't that all the opportunities were bad. It was
simply that in most cases, they weren't fashioned correctly to
utilise my personal strengths, or I really didn't have a passion to
pursue them.
The
principle though that I learned, from all of this, is this:
Find a winner, learn his or her winning ways, put them into
practice and YOU WILL EVENTUALLY WIN.
DUPLICATE A WINNER'S WAYS & GET READY TO WIN
Why try to reinvent the wheel? If someone has great products
then hook up with them and promote theirs. If someone has
a winning business plan, become affiliated with them and
apply the same principles that they're using. Spend time in
the company of winners, whether it be in sport, health or
even in spiritual matters.
Duplicate what is already working. As you go, your own unique
personality will entwine with it. But the important thing is that
YOU WILL WIN.
Identify your PASSION. Find someone who is just as passionate,
while at the same time is reaping the success that you desire for
yourself. Then COPY THEM.
Motivational Memo for the Week: The guy who first invented the
round wheel got his idea from the BIG guy who created the round
World. Go ahead and DUPLICATE! Copyright - the Right to Copy!
You can do it!
