Principles Over Copy-Paste.

"We must learn why things were the way they were, so that we can use the principles, not exactly the example." — X

Dearest reader, have you ever been in a situation where you did everything someone said they did, only to get the complete opposite result? I know firsthand how much that sucks lol. But what if I told you you've been going about it the wrong way?

There’s a common saying that success leaves blueprints, it can always be replicated. While I agree to an extent, I’m more focused on what truly works for you.

See, principles are generic, yes. But we sometimes turn our personal experiences into principles, and that’s where the problem begins. The fact that something worked for you doesn’t make it a law. And just because someone else did it a certain way doesn’t mean that’s the way you should go.

I once read, “The math isn’t mathing. Copy-paste success doesn’t work when you’re a different person, brand, or business.” And I felt that deeply.

I’m not discrediting replication, but I’m definitely not for copy and paste. You can’t just copy and paste and expect to get it right.

So, it becomes necessary to understand the system behind the success—or whatever it is you're trying to replicate—identify the principles that power it, and apply them in a way that suits your unique context.

That’s the real deal.

The goal isn’t to become someone else’s prototype, but to become a version of yourself that reflects the principles behind their success.
