Do you agree with this quotation?

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

I agree with the quote, but I would replace the word "copy" with the word "model".

What do you guys think?

I concur... Can't agree with "copy" Because everybody's journey is different... Model is the key word.

I agree with you. Never copy, always emulate.

no one reinvents the wheel to build a car.

Business from Toronto, ON

I don’t just code. I offer customized solutions in a variety of digital mediums and services; every car (client) requires different attention and solutions. If you want to be specific about code, there’s how many coding languages to approach a website build from so yah, you need to use more than one type of code/language and design for every client or every client would have the same website. :) And I think you are misunderstanding my answer: in my business everything is reinvented all the time; you can’t compare a car to digital design. Otherwise the wheel would be reinvented all the time ;)

I definitely agree you have to change "copy" & "model" but I also think saying "same results" limits your possibilities of achieving a higher success. I also think Tony Robbins success came from throwing out generic blanked advice with no real meaning.

I would counter - it's 'motivational comments' not 'generalized statements that don't result in people changing'. I met robbins in 1994 when we did a cd-i project (my team and I) for him. He's still speaking and saying the same things. People hear him, like Zig Zigler and say - I can get off my ass - thanks Tony. If you look at linkedin - everyone 'models' their posts after him. Offering sage wisdom they've lifted from everyone from Robbins + Confucious to Branson.

In my business, web design that is ever progressing and changing, I don't think that is possible.

Why bother with Tony Robbins - I'm amazed anyone listens to him - every business is unique and challenging and Tony isn't gonna save the day or get you business - you are :)

i do not agree. Just as everyone is different, everyone's path to success is different as well.

I do believe there are things to be learned from competitors as well as pears in just about any space. However, unless someone is going to open their books and their systems to you, you will not really know exactly what they are truly doing.

So if you are looking for a precise formula for success to follow, honestly at that point I think you are looking for a franchise. Because essentially that is exactly what a franchise is.

I agree with replacing the word "copy" with "model". There's so much more that goes behind success that just the "doing/mechanical" part of it. The "why" for the person has to be the motivation behind your success and the "why" may not be the same as the person you are "copying". That's why, I feel, "modeling" is a better fit because it allows you to put your own stamp on it and feel your own motivation!

I prefer the word "study" instead of copy or model but the statement rings true in the "fortune cookie" sense
