Modeling is when you find people who have the skills, knowledge or results you want and you simply copy-cat their methods, allowing you to duplicate their results as fast as humanly possible. Modeling gives you an unfair advantage that speeds up your rate of progress and slices years off your learning curve.
Modeling is the secret that's been used to "reverse engineer" the intelligence strategies of Albert Einstein, the creativity strategies of Walt Disney, the musical strategies of virtuoso violinists, the persuasion strategies of star salespeople, the investment strategies of financial geniuses, the leadership strategies of winning coaches and the medal winning strategies of elite athletes.
John Berson says, "Why not use modeling to uncover and duplicate the health and fitness strategies of men and women who conquered aging and disease?"
The idea of "modeling health & fitness" made all the sense in the world to John.
But John also realized that the key would be finding the right role models... They say that if you follow the herd, you'll have to step in a lot of manure!
John searched for people who already had what he wanted, so he didn't have to re-invent the wheel, but could simply "copy and paste" what they did.

John looked for some role models just for inspiration... He looked for other role models who had health problems like him but overcame them... And--because the BIG 4-0 was creeping up on him soon--he also looked for role models who achieved fitness excellence and maintained it over time, regardless of how old they were.
His lucky break came when he stumbled onto the work of Clarence Bass, author of "Lean For Life" and the "Ripped" book series and Dr. Richard Winett, author of "Ageless Athletes" and founder of "Master Trainer" magazine.
Here were two guys who knew how to maintain tremendous fitness and super low body fat at over 50 years of age. Clarence was tested at the Cooper Clinic in Texas with 2% body fat when he was 56 years old! Dr. Winett achieved 5% body fat and a 27½ inch waist at age 52!
Obviously, these guys knew something that he didn't...(but soon would learn).
As his search continued, he fell in love with the amazing stories (and physiques) of former Mr. Universe, Dave Draper, and former Mr. Olympia, Frank Zane. These men were bodybuilding legends in the 1960's & 1970's but, more impressively, they maintain unbelievable physiques today--in their 60s!
He was also influenced by fitness icon Shawn Phillips, trainer extraordinaire Roger Applewhite, the Fat Burning Diet Guru, Jay Robb, and Tom Venuto of "Burn The Fat" fame-- now his business partner. His role models were becoming his friends, and he quickly learned how heavily influenced they are by the company they keep.
But most important of all... He want to stress to you that my modeling research was NOT based on reading or mere observation, but on sleeves rolled up, down in the trenches, up close and personal work with many of these people... and exhaustive hours of interviewing with many others.
He doubt that anyone has had as much opportunity as he has had for close observation of dozens of OVER-40 Fitness success stories--in the gym as well as in their natural habitats and everyday lives. His "insider access" allowed him a stunning peek inside their heads to find out how they think and inside their kitchens and gyms to understand how they eat and train.
He discovered that every successful person had certain things in common. These commonalities are crucial, vitally important, profoundly significant, and when you understand them, can be quickly and easily duplicated and installed in you.
But mere imitation is not enough, and because of the genetic individuality factor, it can sometimes even be the cause of failure...
There was still ONE LITTLE "MISSING LINK"...
Bruce Lee, the legendary martial artist who created his own fighting arts system, once said, "Research, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own."
Lee provided the missing link: Customization! I put the "common denominators" together to create a "MASTER MIND MODEL", and then customized by adding what was uniquely mine... Visit http://www.stayslimover40.com
