Manage episode 481498357 series 3253011
Key Takeaways
- Everything is an issue of agency; agency is the most valuable skill for any founder
- Work from a creative mindset by actively applying your sense of agency: Write down the value, how you can display it, and then do the thing
- Getting Ted Lasso’d: When a Brit with twice the intelligence and knowledge gets outperformed by the American who has 10x the agency and confidence
- Pay attention to your ideas that make you laugh; if they elicit this type of emotion in you, then you might be onto something
- If you wait for the news, you will be wrong or late
- What is ignored by the media today that will be studied by future historians?
- Leverage on high agency has never been higher, thanks to modern AI tools
- Some people let reality happen to them and then use words to describe it, while others use words to edit and shape their reality
- Language shapes the world around us
- Minimize “should” from your vocabulary and start doing!
- The best way to increase your agency is to hang around people with high agency
- Ideas are avocados: they are perishable – there is no time like the present to work on your idea
- The high-agency approach to problem solving: Ask “Why, Why, Why?” and continue to drill down on the problem until you arrive at the fundamental issue upon which you can take action today
- Speed is negotiable: Mobilize your army, which is your ideas, your resources, and your intention, to achieve your goal in much less time than you perceive to be possible
