Actually, we're modeling all the time: How does a child learn to speak? 
Successful businesses in one city will usually produce a success in a similar 
kind of city before the lag time is up.

CHAPTER II-
MODELING EXERCISES 
 
1. 
Look around you and find someone who is excellent at some aspect of his/ her 
life-either personally or professionally. You don't have to admire all aspects of that 
person's life-a person might be superior in business judgments, and not much of a 
marriage partner. Remember, you're looking for excellent characteristics-no one has 
exactly the life you'd like to live if you look closely enough. Once you've found a person 
with an aspect that you would like to model, begin to ask questions that relate to that 
person's belief system. How to duplicate mental syntax and physiology will be dealt 
with in Chapters VII and IX, respectively. The foundation of modeling lies in a person's 
belief systems. Ask him or her questions about what they believe about their success 
in the area that you're modeling. 
 
Let's say you admire someone's marriage, for example, and you decide you would like 
to find out what the husband does that seems to cause his wife to `- love and respect 
him so much. So you begin: 
 
"Sam, what do you BELIEVE that makes you such a good husband?" Now, Sam may 
say something like, "I don't know-I'm lucky, I guess." So you'll have to probe further, 
"Well, 
if you did know 
what you believed about marriage and your wife that makes you 
successful in your marriage, WHAT WOULD IT BE?" The question, 
"If you did know 
...." 
allows him to go beyond his conscious awareness and bring up beliefs that he truly 
does have, but is not currently conscious of. You might even have to ask the same 
question once or twice more if he continues to say "I don't know." But with persistence 
and genuine curiosity, added to the compliment you're giving him about admiring his 
marriage, he will eventually come out with a belief like "Well, I guess every time I look 
at my wife I think to myself, 'What a great person she is,'" or "I don't know where I'd be 
without her: she supports every aspect of my life-I'd do anything for her."
