The 10,000 hours schtick is a great marketing ploy because it sounds plausible and, in some situations, it’s true.
Ask any successful painter, sculptor, creator of real stuff, chef and gardeners as examples and you’ll get sage nods. My brother is widely regarded as in the top half dozen in his field globally, one he’s pursued for more than two decades. He says he’s still learning and that mastery is as elusive as perfection.
What differentiates true masters is their generosity of spirit in giving back what they know. Anyone else yapping on this topic probably has no clue what they’re talking about.
The dismissive tone towards the skills of “… accountants or management consultants or plumbers” is obnoxious, akin to that “don’t encourage them, Jeremy” tweet. Absolutely the worst people
