Based on this article, mastery sounds like a total grind - these are classic 'success trap' descriptions that anyone with an entrepreneurial twinkle in their eye might recoil from. Doesn't transforming your mastery into something that works for you sound massively better? To each their own... (kind of agree with swombat, but I'd think 'master' corresponds to at least a boutique level of success)

Re: "to me, mastery means mastery of the basics" - People aren't called masters of something because they master the basics. To me, mastery means mastery of the finest nuances, which are not basic at all.

Entrepreneurship is itself a craft that can be mastered.
