For having a good social life it's not necessary to have fame in the general population but be known among those people you want to hang out with. 

Tim Ferriss posts about the downsides of fame is worth reading for anyone who seriously thinks about a strategy that will result in fame.

I’m want to make a good try at vaccinating myself with the EMH. So I’m going to note that the reward associated with these steps, fame and fortune, will probably require 60-80 hours a week for half a decade or more to have a small chance of paying off.

Easier solution: wait until a person who is following Isusr's strategy weeds you out and bam you have your equally extraordinary match. The only failure states are when Isusr's strategy doesn't manage to distinguish the extraordinary people they're looking for from everyone else, or when you're not extraordinary.

Initiative frees you from corporate bullshit . . . True and to add to that 'a desire to scale' and a limited understanding of the 'limits and implications of growth' tend to bring all that initiative back full circle and into the marshland of corporate bullshit. So when you do take initiative, be clear on what you are seeking and what you are avoiding. Does that make sense?
