Shadow Professionals for Better Success
Learn From the Pros
How do some people have success much faster than others? Are they built genetically different? Have more intelligence then others in the industry? In most cases, they are shadowing professionals that are already very successful and learning the tricks of the trade from them.
When you have somebody to follow and mimic, you can increase in leaps and bounds with your progress. Most of us are testing everything for ourselves. Not only are we testing it, we continue to make the same mistakes many times over.
Skip below for the video...
GPS You're Life
We often get stuck in this trap because of our ego, our negative emotions keeping us down, trying to be right in our own mind instead of just swallowing our pride and doing what we need to do. Pride, envy, fear, and not wanting to be wrong and feeling like we are stupid if we do not do it on our own destroys us.*
So we don’t ask for help because we are afraid of saying we do not understand, we are wrong, we messed up, ect. Now we just keep on figuring out how to do it on our own. Would you these days not use a GPS when you are in another country or city? Do you just drive around each street taking a look if this is the right way? No you either have a GPS or you will ask others how to get where you need to be.
Teachers Speed Up Our Progress
But when it comes down to business, our success, our personal development, we keep trying things that we think will work and usually do not and then often make that mistake dozens of times before we are fed up and change our choices.
As mentioned before, this is why the best have coaches, mentors, and teachers, and humble themselves to get the constructive criticism they need. We see this all the time in corporations or businesses also; they often have you shadow an upper management employee to pick up what to do quicker.
For some reason in our own lives many do not want to take the criticism, invest in a mentor, or be wrong enough to tell somebody and ask for help.
When you have someone to shadow they tell you first what to do and second they watch what you do and correct you right on the spot. This excels the learning curve to a point where you can shed years of your time and resources. It may take you a whole 12 months to get step 1 down but when shadowing a professional you can get to step 5 in a short couple of weeks.
Mimic The Best There Is!
I love to analyze people and see this all the time. People in their early 20s that have accomplished more than others that would take their whole life, if they were to get there at all.
It is tough to find somebody that is willing to do this for free. Look to invest some money in a great teacher that is in a position that you would love to be in but make sure you think BIG! Otherwise you may have to join a company or business that has successful people or a boss that you can shadow and is willing to teach you as you work. This is why many students work in internships of course. They work for free but get so much value out of it, that it makes it well worth it.
Find your teachers, ask for help, be open to their criticism and you can increase your odds of being successful in a much shorter time frame.

Being guided properly and being surrounded by mentors are good aspects of attaining a faster success. Thank you for this wonderful post. #TheUnmentionables.
Yes so true and who wouldn't want it faster.
So true. Also, i don't believe in "gurus", i believe in role models.
I truly think every man has his own way and circunstances, and you can learn a lot from a lot of people. In the case of role models, you NEED to listen, learn and study what they did and what they have to say, then, take the things that work for you (Because you are NOT them, you are you.) and make your own way.
It will be great, and it will be yours.
Yes I totally agree!
that is correct! Agree!
Good advise for most, although a few can pave their own way.
In what way?
There are some people that are especially gifted and able to do things on their own even without teachers or mentors, artists, musicians, computer programmers, and others, but this is definitely the exception. Also, your example of driving around in a foreign country or city, well I recently moved to a foreign country, GPS is wrong or doesn't include many locations as places often don't have street names or addresses, if you ask someone they may not know or tell you wrong way because it is hard to explain without names or addresses, so you are often left to find your own way. Eventually you find what you are looking for, although not always efficiently, but you start to become familiar with where things are and even become an expert in where to find things.
I would rather have a GPS than not have one... even it is wrong sometimes. Also, I think anybody can learn from someone else ... even self taught people are building their foundation on things other people already figured out.
Having sort of a mentor to guide us on our first steps is a big advantage and can help us improve our work faster than otherwise.
That’s why it’s best to always keep a humble and open attitude towards everyone. Humble because there is always new things to learn. And open because we can always help someone who need it, we just need to be available to share our knowledge and be grateful when someone does that with us.
Yes couldn't agree with you more!
Who are shadows?
You are the shadow lol
