Aggregation empowers.
Interestingly, what assures aggregation is usually significantly different from its parts. This is why powerful aggregates are attributed to luck.
Think of a typical broom. What binds each broomstick is never a broomstick, it is usually a binder made out of a significantly different material.
Alone, the broomsticks are rather limited in utility, but together, with the aid of a binder, possibilities explode.
Entrepreneurship is more about finding binders, than it is about gathering broomsticks. The broomsticks are always there, but the binders require a keen eye.
This is why startups are measured more on scalability than anything else in their early days. If your product is not a binder, aggregation of people around it will be slow. The slower aggregation is, the more likely you are to fail in the long term.
Bringing people together in an unlikely way, thus ensuring limited individuals unleash unlimited potential is a skill. Like all skills, it only gets better with practice.
What do you see that brings people together, and even with the poor quality on offer, they endure?
Can you build it better at scale?
What are you waiting for?
Practice.
