There is very little, if anything, which is new in this world. There are just new variations of old themes, some better and some worse than the last. All living things learn by copying, we learn consciously and unconsciously from everyone we meet.
All the most famous people you know have learned their business by copying others or taking an existing idea and improving or adapting it to work more efficiently & profitably for them – every one of them!
The real trick here is to find people who are doing exactly what you want to do and who have achieved what you want to achieve – then copy everything they do. These people can be living or dead, in your industry or another so long as they represent the ideals & goal you have set for yourself. Study them and their habits, their working style, dealing techniques, the way they carry themselves through life, everything.
I am not saying become a clone of them but work to understand their activities and absorb them into your own business life. You may find that you need to create a composite person from a number of people who together make up the ideal profile.
Other people give off clues as to how they achieve things, look to see if you can improve on any areas of their activities. Try to meet them if they are local to you, ask questions and listen hard to their answers.
