I have read the book "The Alter Ego Effect" and highly recommend it.

The author is a peak performance coach and has used the concept of alter egos to increase the performance of his clients... many of them are famous athletes, actors and business people.

The performance enhancing ability of alter egos is apparently proven by science.

As an entrepreneur what alter ego would you choose? (It's beneficial if your alter ego can be "studied" by reading books and watching interviews or by watching movies if it's a fictional character so that you get a decent amount of data for how the alter ego acts in different scenarios)

For me personally Elon Musk is the first who comes to mind. I also like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Kobe Bryant a lot for their sheer determination and insane work ethic.

Also, the following characters come to mind:

- John D Rockefeller

- Henry Ford

- Ayn Rand's characters

BTW your alter ego doesn't have to be just one person, you can mix characters and it doesn't have to be a real or fictional character either.
