Understand that your heroes are human, too, and that they must have compromised on some aspects of their personality to reach the heights you consider valuable.
As humans they are, they are not perfect. They must not be perfect. Everyone has finite time and energy, so they have refocused that energy into their craft, likely sacrificing growth in other areas.
So, meet your heroes. Is your hero a marketing expert but also a really bad business administrator? So what?
Extract from them what you consider best. Is your hero a top-notch Michelin-awarded chef but also an arrogant prick? There you go.
Conventional thinking advises us never to meet our heroes, but I found out this is rooted in the fear of having our expectations broken. If we don’t have expectations of perfection, there’s no expectation that’ll be broken.
Dare to meet them. You will be touched by their magic, learn deeper insights, and drill down into their wisdom (if there are any).
Do meet your heroes.
Your best man,
