Do you know someone who can just…figure it out?
Not enough money, time, information, or resources? Somehow, someway, they MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.
There’s a word for this quality: agency.
And after spending years around successful entrepreneurs, I’ve become convinced that self-agency is one of the most important qualities a business owner can develop.
Because business WILL business. A launch won’t go according to plan. Your website will crash. The algorithm will change. Someone will drop the ball.
The question isn’t whether something unexpected will happen. It’s: What will you do next?
In this episode, I’m breaking down three ways to strengthen your self-agency: ownership, action, and responsibility. I also share a personal story about Dr. Gabrielle Lyon that completely changed how I think about refusing to accept a dead end.
Because self-agency doesn’t mean believing you can control everything.
It means believing that no matter what happens, you can control your next move.
