Good artists copy, great artists steal.

"Good artists copy, great artists steal."

That's what Picasso said… and Steve Jobs made it famous.

The problem? Some people think they're geniuses by copy-pasting posts, storytelling, and sales pages word for word… then hide behind this quote.

Getting inspiration is normal. Not reinventing the wheel when starting out is logical.

But copying without adding value, without bringing your own touch, without building your own identity, and on top of that, positioning yourself as direct competition…
Instead of simply saying: "You inspire me" and creating your own path?

That might work… for a while.

Those who blindly copy haven't understood marketing or the importance of standing out (Red Ocean vs. Blue Ocean 🌊).

Starting as a fraud locks you into that fraud.

The worst part?
The ones who copy me the most barely dare to follow me.
Always watching from afar… but never owning up to it.

If you're creating content, get inspired, of course.

But respect those who inspire you, acknowledge their influence, and most importantly…
Bring your own twist, take risks.

In the long run, that's what pays off. 🚀

And you, who’s inspiring you right now?
