Ever feel like you’re waiting for perfect conditions, overthinking every decision, or blaming things outside your control for your lack of progress? This Solo Sunday might just change everything for you. Today, we’re talking about one of the most important traits for entrepreneurial success — high agency — and why it might be the #1 predictor of whether you succeed or stagnate. I’ll share how high-agency thinking shows up in marketing, sales, operations, and mindset… plus real-life examples that will challenge the way you think about action and ownership in your business.

✨ Why This Matters for You

High agency is the mindset shift that changes everything:

It’s about taking intentional action, not waiting for perfect conditions
It’s the antidote to helplessness — you see problems as solvable and pull levers others don’t see
It’s how you turn setbacks, market downturns, or missed deadlines into opportunities for growth
It gives you back control over your business and your results

📝 Key Takeaways

Agency = Action. High agency means you act even when you don’t have perfect information — clarity comes from movement, not more planning.
Solve > Explain. Low agency people explain why something won’t work. High agency people figure out how to make it work anyway.
Create > Wait. You don’t wait for perfect timing, dream clients, or opportunities — you create them.
Own Outcomes. You take responsibility even for things outside your control and ask, “How is this on me?”
Act Fast. Your business grows at the speed of your decisions, not your resources.

🚀 Put It Into Action

This week, do a quick high-agency audit:

Where are you waiting for permission or perfect conditions instead of just starting?
Where are you blaming things you could influence (the market, the algorithm, your team)?
What’s one imperfect action you can take today to create momentum — even if you don’t have the whole roadmap yet?
