Were the Beatles good or just famous?
What about Madonna?
Is Dwayne Johnson good or just famous?
What about Meryl Streep?
Is a Ferrari a good car or just a famous one?

Is your friend a good interior designer even though they’re not on HGTV?
Are you a good musician even though you don’t have tracks on Spotify?
Is your partner a good cook even though they don’t have a spot on the Food Network?
Famous requires the intersection of several variables, some of which you have control over and some of which you don’t.
So does good. But good is in the eye of the beholder. If these people don’t think you’re good, you can choose to look elsewhere for other people.
Focus on good.
