Why We Believe in a Blueprint, Not a Role Model

When asked about his childhood heroes, Jeff Hughes, founder of Hermetic Networks, gives a surprising answer: “I don’t think so… I didn’t like to look up to people.” In a business world saturated with advice to “be like Steve Jobs” or “be like Elon Musk,” this philosophy of radical self-reliance is a powerful differentiator.

“I learned at an early age that people can let you down,” he says. “Really, I want to be like me. And I want to help other people be themselves too.”

This isn’t arrogance; it’s a profound understanding of authenticity. Trying to copy someone else’s path means ignoring your own unique strengths, weaknesses, and circumstances. The better approach is to observe, learn, and integrate useful traits and strategies without losing your own identity. “This is useful. This is good. I’ll give that a shot,” Jeff clarifies.

This is the exact approach we take with our clients at Hermetic Networks. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all IT solutions. We don’t try to make a law firm operate like a manufacturing plant. Our job is to understand your unique business—your “self”—and provide a customized technology blueprint that empowers you to become the best, most efficient, and most secure version of your own organization.

Stop trying to fit your business into someone else’s technology model. Let’s build one that’s authentically yours. Contact Hermetic Networks athttps://www.hermeticnetworks.com/.
