Many people ask, how can I accelerate my growth? Simple, be high agency. Few have defined this as nicely as George Mac. It is 3 things merged into one mega trait: 1. Resourcefulness — Be useful as soon as possible 2. Skepticism towards “best practices” → do, challenge, improve, scale, do. 3. Locus of control → Priming yourself correctly matters ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1120/0*XNxMmf-v3ghyAXGp) An example of mass low agency is that we put a man on the moon before we put wheels on a suitcase. “What is the suitcase without wheels in 2023?” > Sometimes, we have push in an unreasonable/irrational manner to brute force early commercialisation/user acquisition. This does not have to be scalable initially. Getting the momentum fire going and then optimizing the system is best. Ref: George Mack - [[How to spot high-agency people]]
