This article explores how to enhance agency, the ability to make things happen in your life. It offers practical strategies like seeking feedback, embracing rejection, and expanding your network to increase opportunities. The author emphasizes that agency can be developed through intentional effort and a willingness to learn.
- Deliberately seeking out rejection (applying for jobs/opportunities that seem out of reach) trains you to separate rejection from self-worth
- Finding unique edges means embracing tasks others avoid due to discomfort, not just outworking competitors
- Wide, seemingly random networking often produces unexpected valuable opportunities, since relevance doesn't predict usefulness
- Accepting the "moat of low status" phase of being inexperienced is necessary before gaining the advantage of new skills
