3 Reads To Become Disgustingly High Agency
The most important trait you good have in the twenty first century is agency. Here are three reads that will make you disgustingly high agency. Crystal clear on Substack, start with her article, Literally Best Do Things. There are people with half your skills and intelligence living out your dreams just because they put themselves out there and take action. There will never be a perfect time to start, and you don't need permission to just do things. Then go to George Rank on Substack and start with how to engineer luck. There are two types of luck. One is random, but one is a skill. George breaks down the difference and gives you you 13 tips on how to be better at the second one. Just print this out and put it on your desk. And last, create your own yacht by realestategod on x. It's about how to get the benefits of owning a yacht without actually owning a yacht. You learn how to position yourself in rooms that will elevate you, how to become more magnetic, and how to structure your life so opportunities come to you instead of you chasing tier. Fall off more.
