Faster Personal Development: Modelling Via Mindmaps

What if…

… you could copy the mind and knowledge of one person into another persons body.

There are many movies dealing with this topic. Today, I would like to give you the mindmap method for doing this. That’s right, you will be able to copy one person into another person.

I am by no means an expert in NLP or psychology. What I know is that our mind can do much more than we think it can. One way of doing this is by understanding for instance the expressions of people, their attitude and their body language and movement.

The moment you mimic the exact movement and expression of a person, you will be able to understand them better. I’ve seen people do near mind readings using this technique!

Now what if you could use this to your advantage. What if you could make yourself more successful than you ever thought you could be? One of the tools you can use for doing that is your good old mindmap. Here’s how:

1. Understand what you want to do, change and become.

Every major change begins with the realization that you need to change. When you know things are not going well in your life, you can start to change them. I would suggest you make an overview of answers to these two questions:

• What is going wrong in my life
• What would I like to see happening in my life

Most of the time, the answer to the first question is strongly related to the answer to the second question. For example: I don’t earn enough money, and, I want to earn $ 50,000.

I believe a pessimist would focus on the first set of answers. The optimist focuses on the second group of answers.

I hope you are focusing on the second group of answers. After all, you get in life what you think about, most of the time. Better focus of the positive outcomes then!

The only difference between the negative and the positive answers is a matter of time.

Now that you know where you are going, you move to step 2.

2. Find a successful person who achieved what you want to achieve

If one person is capable of achieving something in life, you can probably achieve that as well (if you have enough time). Of course I am generalizing a little bit. When you are 50 years young and you want to become the winner of the Tour de France… doubtful.

You can however become a person who might be the best cyclist in your age group.

Right, you found the person who achieved what you did. Read all about them. Watch videos. Listen to their stories.

• How did they do that?
• What steps did they take?
• How did they cope with obstacles (or problems)?
• What was their background, knowledge and physical ability?
• What is their body language and how do they move?
• What was their plan of action?

Perhaps they started to train on a daily basis. They might have doubled their investment in time, effort and money to get where they were going.

You need to start taking action. You need to understand what they did and thought and become.

Once you added this information to your MODEL, you are ready to move forward to step 3

3. Do what your role model did and make progress

When you do what they did, you will be able to move forward faster in life. They might have figured out what to do on their own. You simply model them.

Is this a guaranteed method for success?

Of course not!

But… (and this is important)… you will move forward much faster.

If you continue to model them, learn and take action, you will move forward. You might end up where you wanted to go… reaching your goal.

The only thing you need to do is understand the mindset and methods of other people and model them.

This is also what we do in the Mindmaps Unleashed Membership – we follow a proven path to getting more focus, clarity, peace of mind, etc. Following that path saves you time and is much easier than simply figuring everything out along the way.

My Question: Why doesn’t everybody do this?

I believe we can all do this – find a person, model them, move forward faster.

Still… not everybody is as successful as they could be. I believe this is because most people are focused on the short term (lazy) and don’t need advice (stubborn). I am sure you are not like most people. You want to move forward. You are ready to realize your dreams.

That is why I ask you to use your mind(map) and move forward in life. Find out who is representing the life you want to live. If needed, you can find a number of people who you want to model.

Create a mindmap of these people. Analyze them. Understand what makes them successful. Write this into a plan of action and… TAKE ACTION!

When you do this, you will greatly improve your numbers for success (we are not talking about chance anymore).

Enjoy this little tip.

Take action.

Move forward.
