    Picasso once said, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." This was one of Steve Jobs' favorite quotes. And Steve Jobs once said, "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." So wait a minute. Is it a good or a bad thing for entrepreneurs to steal great ideas? Is being a great copycat good or bad?
    I discuss that topic in this video, and share the following four ways that the most successful entrepreneurs copy others:
    #1: Eliminate -- 6:57
    #2: Reduce - 7:19
    #3: Raise - 7:37
    #4: Create - 7:49

      Stealing ideas: Good or bad?
      The answer: Bad!...very very bad!
      It's stealing from the original creater without permission!!!
      And it's a kind of weakness too
      People need to create their own ideas!

    Great topic, what I think people should understand is something I've learned over time and that is: everything under the sun is, has been and always will be. What determines your success on receiving recognition for the accomplishment is how YOU make it different, how YOU innovate & capitalize and how passionate and driven YOU are to see your work accepted by the masses. Thank you, I always appreciate your video topics.

    Patrick, as always a great episode. I agree with the sentiment, and it's actually something I advise to my clients as well. I am a creativity and innovation coach, and many small startup companies and entrepreneurs often feel a shame towards the concept of working with other people's ideas. They would rather try to prove that they are super original than be able to build on the progress someone else has made. The larger more established companies on the other hand have much less of a problem being a fast follower, waiting to see which innovations and ideas get traction and then copying those (as you mentioned with Samsung).

    In this topic, it's more about the execution rather than the preparation.
    Both require workload, but the reality is whoever closes or executes well, i.e. who sells better really succeeds.
    Brands are sold now, not just the product and not just the technology. The wrapping of the brand sells and is how people perceive the solution to their problem. And that's how people receive it, and that's what matters the most.
    That's why the prep, or tech work is like admin now but knowing how to sell it really matters as the numbers come in.

    Dr. J was playing the way he did before David Thomson. Dr. J played for years in the ABA when the dunk and layup were against the rules of the NBA. They finally merged after fighting each other until both were close to losing their shirt and that is when he left LI and moved to PA to play for the 76ers. I grew up not far from him but did not meet him until many years later on business when we learned that we had lived in the same town when he became wealthy and used the same realtor. NYers love and are proud of the Dr. because he like bill Russell were real gentlemen and smart in business.

I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it" sounds they thought that being copycats is their birth right (rightly so as you say in this video) :-D

    @ronifokamino6674 8 лет назад

    From reading the book, although it may seem like eliminating, reducing, raising, and creating are the main points, I believe that the knowing what to raise and reduce is more important. Just because you reduce, eliminate, raise, and create something doesn't mean you're going to end up with a good idea. I think the book focuses more on successful business that were able to identify the "focus" of the business instead of everything. Do you think there is a limit to how much someone can copy and innovate?

    copycats win because the rich can do whatever they want with almost zero repercussion.
    It’s very simple. Get a large audience or distribution. Then when people come to you trying to improve their lives and your business with their little idea, you can steal and market it and they will likely feel so depressed that people can’t be trusted and feel so defeated that they’ll quit or won’t be able to afford action against you, especially if you’re big enough.

    I know that the greats copy and some, like you, copy multiple ideas and combine them into something greater than the sum of the parts. So my question is who did you copy when you came up with the idea for PHP?

    Hi Patrick, another great video, I have watched your videos for a little over a year now and none of them have disappointed me at all, keep up with the videos 👏👊💯, I wanted to ask you, what your business is all about, your industry, your business model, just broad details if you don't mind of course.

    Everybody has ideas, but ideas don't mean anything unless you execute correctly.

    Love what your doing , truly one of the BEST channels for entrepreneurs. I was wondering about copyright infringement as far as using someone else's intellectual property to teach another and profiting from being the middle man but also giving the credit to the source outlined in the teaching lesson. I guess my question is is this illegal ? Better question Could I use Harvard business analytics in my teaching lesson and profit as the teacher but give Harvard the credit without passing money to Harvard. Hope this makes sense thank you !
