Finding a Role Model
Finding a Role Model
A role model is simply someone that you admire and respect that has done what
it is that you want to achieve. If you can model their behavior, you will be
moving in the right direction for changing your life.
Modelling the behavior, thoughts and attitudes of successful people has been shown
to help a person become more successful.
