Every person is different and every person should choose your own path to success. No one can get success to follow any person blindly. Either a person is student of University or he is a businessman or he is Employee,he should make a daily plan and should stick to his plan. Your plan will give you success in future because when small small steps will join ,then we will get a huge success in life. Every person who got success,he or she was a consistent. Without consistency , success is not possible. Always follow your teacher but don't follow blindly and do your own research.
It is true that everyone has a different path to success and it is very unlikely that other people can copy other people's paths to success and if you choose to follow other people as an entrepreneur or employee, of course what you will achieve will certainly be different from the results of other people's achievements and indeed It would be better to have our own plan that we can carry out to achieve what we want and as you said we must be able to carry out the plan that we have made consistently.
