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

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.
