Fair point. It's also good to remember where the term "master" comes from.

In medieval England there was a recognised pathway to recognition as a craftsman, taking many years.

Apprentice
Improver
Journeyman
Tradesman
Craftsman
(and finally Artist)

Each level could take many years, and skills were built on practical work under skilled supervision.

Mastery takes patience and practice, both in the Master, and the Apprentice.

Many people it seems to me claim they seek success, while not realising through impatience they ensure failure.

Rule #1 - pick your master carefully.

Good luck
