I don't fit a typical EA but I've managed to get things done by being "Entrepreneurial" and focussing on neglected areas.
Find things that are important, neglected and where you have a comparative advantage.
EAs overrate smartness in a world that prioritises getting shit done quickly. Being the 5th commenter on a google doc is not a path to impact. Create something. Bring a thing into the world people need but noone is doing.
