In this insightful episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee delves into the fine line between convenience and distraction, using his personal triathlon training experiences as a foundation for broader life lessons. Baylor discusses how years of training have shifted his outlook from seeking diversions to embracing focus and efficiency, even in monotonous activities like swimming. His narrative explores how eliminating distractions, whether they involve gadgets or mindsets, can propel us towards our goals. As he reflects on the significance of intent and discipline, Baylor emphasizes that true progress doesn't stem from working harder, but rather from working smarter and more efficiently. He urges listeners to examine their own lives and question whether their routines, relationships, and habits are contributing to or distracting from their ultimate objectives. The episode is punctuated with anecdotes, strategic insights, and motivational calls to action, making it a must-listen for anyone striving for excellence in any aspect of life. Key Takeaways: Distinguish between workout and training: Transition from engaging in activities for mere distraction to focusing on efficiency and effectiveness. Question convenience vs. distraction: Evaluate if personal conveniences are aiding in goal achievement or simply serving as distractions. Accountability: Recognize personal responsibility in eliminating distractions and maintaining focus. Efficiency over effort: Success does not always require increased effort, but improved efficiency and effectiveness. Essentialism in preparation: Like Navy SEALs, learn to differentiate between necessary tools for success and excess that weighs you down. Notable Quotes: "There's a difference in working out and training." "You have to then ask yourself, the things that I buy, the people I associate with, what it is I'm doing, is it a distraction or is it going to aid me in the process of getting where I want to go?" "When you think about what it is, the point of what you're trying to do, you can now start to eliminate distractions." "Good swimmers look like they're gliding. And the same thing's true in life." "Simplify the process...what's necessary for me to use to get there."

This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Catherine Divine returns to discuss the second of the five mountains—-the ‘mental mountain!' This mountain serves as a pathway towards developing important skills like creativity, compassion, intuition, and insight.    Together, Mark and Catherine explore the many intricacies of the mind, and delve into concepts like critical thinking and cognitive bias. They muse on the development of uniquely human skills—skills that are without a doubt essential for thriving in the age of artificial intelligence. Practical techniques—-such as box breathing and mindfulness are discussed as practices to assist in taming one's ‘monkey mind', and developing a focussed and resilient mental state.    Key Takeaways: Cognitive Bias & Critical Thinking: Understand the filters placed upon our mind by social conditioning and the limits of our own perception—-and how this relates to thinking critically. Developing Mental Discipline: Learn various practical techniques to apply in the development of mental discipline, and recognize the necessity of calmness.  Free Will & Ego Death: Ponder the idea that free will is something that must be earned through mental training and the ‘fortification' of the ego.    Catherine Divine is a leadership coach, author, and yoga instructor with over 20 years of experience helping leaders unlock their full potential. Coauthor of Kokoro Yoga with her stepfather, Mark Divine, and author of Sacred Silence, Catherine holds a Master's in Transformative Leadership from CIIS and is pursuing a PhD in East-West Psychology.

Cue the motivational music of your choice - Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” Queen's “We Are The Champions,” Kate Bush's “Running Up That Hill,” Elton John's “The Bitch Is Back,” John Williams' “Duel of the Fates,” or even the theme tune to “Laverne and Shirley” … schlemiel, schlimazel, Hasenpfeffer incorporated and whatnot … we're gonna make it!) Bottom of the ninth, one run down, bases loaded with tie on third and the win on second looking born to run. Two strikes and you've got the bat in hand - can you hit it out of the park for you and your business? After listening to this week's Overlap Podcast, we think you'll definitely make a move that'll have Harry Caray screaming “Holy Cow!” … or at least make Vin Scully shut up about Farmer John hot dogs for like five minutes, for cripes sake… This week, our boys Sid and Keith will find their focus on the final 5 to 10 percent of whatever tyrannical task or grandiose goal you have before you. Think of them as the Burgess Meredith to your Rocky, the Misters Miyagi to your Daniel San … or Hillary Swank San in that third one, the John Candy to your Jamaican bobsled team, the Morris Buttermaker to the Bad News Bear of your choosing or the Gordon Bombay to your Mightiest of Ducks. Quack. Quack. Quack. Quack. Quack. Just like Powdermilk Biscuits in the big blue box, they'll give you the strength to go out and do what needs to be done, though neither Sid nor Keith are as tasty or expeditious. (We can't actually verify that last statement, but I don't think there's anyone on God's green earth that wants to be the ones to verify that last statement.

The podcast navigates the changing media behavior among the "Google Generation" and raises crucial questions about creativity and critical thinking skills. Matt discusses the negative consequences of information overload, emphasizing the challenges individuals face in coping with the vast amount of data available in the contemporary media landscape. Mobile technology's impact on thinking and information processing takes center stage, with a focus on constant interruptions and their effect on cognitive processes. The podcast explores the attention society, where attention becomes a valuable capital in the digital age, and the cognitive strain resulting from the rapid advancement of mobile technology. In the realm of multitasking, Matt delves into its emergence as a coping mechanism for information overload, unveiling the negative implications and concerns about long-term impacts, especially when adopted at a young age. The episode concludes by emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the digital revolution and the search for positive coping strategies amid constant connectivity and information overload. Moving into the realm of social distractions, Matt explores the dynamics of validation and acceptance, acknowledging their motivational push. He unravels the double-edged sword of opportunities, urging listeners to be selective and align choices with personal and professional goals. The discussion touches on the discomfort associated with turning down opportunities, advocating for honesty and deep soul-searching to determine true aspirations. Shifting to personal distractions, Matt delves into the common struggles we face when juggling tasks, from forgotten texts to daydreams of a hypothetical trip to Europe.

Today we are talking about principle #10 of the 10 principles for Eliminating Distractions, which is to work when no one else is around.  This can sometimes be the greatest distraction elimination available.  No clients, no co-workers, no phone calls.  You can sometimes accomplish more in 2 hours with no one else around than you can in 8 hours and a full office.  Take advantage of alone time whenever you can. We allow things, in our normal day, to distract us way too much.   Generally speaking, it's easier to become distracted when you're self-employed because it removes the accountability factor.  When you don't have a manager looking over your shoulder, it's tempting to mess around with distractions.  Remind yourself that those little distractions offer little return, if any at all, for the time you've invested.  Instead, stick to the productive tasks that build your success.   Over the past 10 days we have explored 10 principles to help you reduce or eliminate distractions. Which one or ones will you apply to help you be even more time efficient with your valuable time? For help with creating your ideal business and ideal life, reach out to me today and schedule your complimentary consultation. Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/)  Take advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/. Want more from The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for me on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/ and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries, or by going to https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573. Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  As an experienced accountability coach and author of 5 books, I help business professionals make more money, work less, and enjoy even better work life balance. Check out my proven business accelerator resources by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™ If you get value from these Accountability Minutes, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

Today we are talking about principle #9 to Eliminating Distractions which is to learn how to cut off excessive conversation.  Just as I mentioned in the previous principle, everyone appreciates productive conversation.  If you find yourself in a conversation with someone and it's not progressing to a point or conclusion, work so you can get to a solution.  Again, this should be done politely and professionally - but it's perfectly acceptable if you do.  Superficial chit-chat is just that – superficial. If you would like to talk to someone, at least have it be meaningful so it doesn't waste your time or theirs.Tune in tomorrow for Principle #10 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life.

Today we are talking about Principle #8 to Eliminating Distractions which is to ask for what you want.  There is nothing wrong with asking for what you want. It's appropriate for all situations, but it must be done with tact and friendliness.  Busy professionals appreciate concise, focused conversation and you can show them you respect their time by not wasting it needlessly.  Clear and concise communication saves time for everyone. Tune in tomorrow for Principle #9 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life.  Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/)  Take advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/.  Want more from The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for me on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/ and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries, or by going to https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573.  Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  As an experienced accountability coach and author of 5 books, I help business professionals make more money, work less, and enjoy even better work life balance. Check out my proven business accelerator resources by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™ If you get value from these Accountability Minutes, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

Today we are talking about Principle #7 to Eliminating Distractions which is to eliminate noises.  Listen to soothing instrumental music if you feel you need to listen to something, but talk radio or lyrical music will distract you from focusing on the task at hand. Even alert sounds from your computer can be distracting; like the sound you hear when you receive an incoming email. Other distracting sounds can be the phone ringing, others talking, outside noise, etc. Eliminate distractions and you have an even better chance of acting on your good intentions and what is time blocked in your calendar, and achieving amazing results! Tune in tomorrow for Principle #8 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life.  Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/)  Take advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/.  Want more from The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for me on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/ and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries, or by going to https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573.  Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  As an experienced accountability coach and author of 5 books, I help business professionals make more money, work less, and enjoy even better work life balance. Check out my proven business accelerator resources by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™ If you get value from these Accountability Minutes, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

Today we are talking about Principle #6 to Eliminating Distractions which is to remove computer desktop ICONS.  All of those things you love doing, like playing solitaire, just remove the icon from your computer desktop.  Out of sight, out of mind is typically a good policy.  This goes for apps like Facebook or YouTube, for example. If these aren't moving you and your business forward to achieving your goals, don't get on them during primetime so you can't get distracted and waste your valuable time. You can always look at these apps during our off time, if you really feel the urge to do so.  Tune in tomorrow for Principle #7 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life.

Today we are talking about Principle #5 to Eliminating Distractions which is to remove desktop clutter.  You know what I'm talking about. Magazines you say you're going to read on your lunch break and the picture of your sweetheart taped right to your computer monitor; these items need to be moved out of your immediate and frequent field of vision.  It's OK to have personal items near you; they just shouldn't be right in front of where you look most of the time. Only keep those items on your desk that you are currently working on.  Anything else can cause a distraction and slow you down from getting your work done.  Place only current files needed on your desk or desktop, while the others are filed away until you need them.  If you are a paperless organization, open only one computer file at a time.  Tune in tomorrow for Principle #6 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life. If this applies to you, how will you apply the concept from today?  Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/)  Take advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/. Want more from The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for me on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/ and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries, or by going to https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573.  Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  As an experienced accountability coach and author of 5 books, I help business professionals make more money, work less, and enjoy even better work life balance.Check out my proven business accelerator resources by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™ If you get value from these Accountability Minutes, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

Today we are talking about Principle #4 to Eliminating Distractions which is to stop spending so much time on social media to see what other people are posting, especially if you don't need it to do it to directly generate revenue.  Just don't get on it - because once you do, you're more likely to get sucked into it.  If you have to get your fix, do it at the end of the work day or a set time during the day.  Set a time that you honor - say, any time after 4pm and don't get on it before then, unless you absolutely have to. I strongly recommend to most people I coach to not check email first thing in the morning because it can derail them from what they should be doing. You can choose to let people know when you will check email, so they don't expect an immediate response, if you want to. Here's an example of an email I received from someone: “I appreciate your email.   In order to stay focused and maintain my personal effectiveness, I generally check email only once per day (Monday through Friday). If you are a client and need immediate service or attention, please call my office at (555) 778-5623.  Thank you, NAME” Tune in tomorrow for Principle #5 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life.

Today we are talking about Principle #3 to Eliminating Distractions which is to screen your calls.  It's ideal if you have someone answer every call since real-person response is a vital part of a successful business.  If this is a resource available to you, establish a schedule of when you are available to accept calls.  Outside of those times, you'll need to arrange a screening process to allow only the most important calls to make their way to you.  I suggest reserving at least a few hours per day when you do accept any calls.  Again, scheduling phone appointments is ideal and leads to working as efficiently as possible. Nobody I have ever met said they like Phone Tag and want to do more of it. Tune in tomorrow for Principle #4 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life.

Today we are talking about Principle #2 to Eliminating Distractions which is to discourage walk-in traffic.  Granted, if you're a manager it may be more difficult to do this; but when you set specific times when you're available to talk and accept walk-ins, and times that you don't - it will help you to focus and complete tasks more efficiently.  Ideally, scheduling appointments is the most effective way to go, if at all possible.  For those who work at home, this rule applies to your family.  Establish clear boundaries when you are not to be distracted, unless it's an emergency like the building is burning down and you need to get out. Tune in tomorrow for Principle #3 to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life.

Why should you Start with Fear?   What can we hope to gain from facing our fears and How do we actually start Crushing those fears?…   Here are just a few (of many) reasons to Face Your Fears: Gateway to Results- facing your fears can give you valuable experience that you can use to grow, build and learn strategies to execute at a higher level in the future.  Remember that even failure carries with it knowledge that will improve your skills moving forward. Personal Growth- the fastest way to grow is to stretch yourself.  This will most certainly happen when you face your fears.  You learn new ways to accomplish your goals, and you are forced to adapt to a new environment. Increased Fulfillment- personal growth is one of the most important ways to feel a greater amount of fulfillment and passion in your life.  Truly living only happens when we are growing personally and professionally.  Facing your fears is an amazing way to do this. Build Confidence & Belief- as we face our fears, we build confidence and belief in our own abilities to handle life and the amount of uncertainty we have in life.  The experience that comes from dealing with fear creates new beliefs that we can handle any situation in life, and this will create more confidence in our ability stop deal with even greater challenges in the future. I can go on and on about the positive benefits that come with facing your fears.  I also know that there can be difficult, emotional and negative experiences that come with facing our fears.  Rejection, Failure, and Set Backs can also come with facing your fears, but remember this…   Anything that you can Learn from a Situation can be turned into a Positive if you will just Make the Decision that it will help you Grow and do better in the Future.   How to Start Crushing Your Fear. Now let's talk about how you can start Crushing Your Fears and some ideas I have for Taking Action…   I've learned all kinds of ways to deal with fear, challenges and struggles in my life.  I wrote down a few of the Empowering Thoughts, Techniques and Disciplines that I have learned and used over the years, and here are a few of the best ideas I can give you: Say Yes, then Figure it Out- most every 7-Figure mentor that I know has adopted the idea that they will act on opportunity and figure it out along the way.  You don't need to know everything to take action. Good is Good Enough- taking action on your dreams, desires and opportunities is good enough.  Don't wait for confidence to tackle your fears.  Confidence comes after you push through your fears. Focus Your Energy- when you are leaning into fear, you must create space to focus your time, energy and talent so you can develop the skills needed to handle the challenge.  Don't multi task when facing your fears. Surround Yourself with Positive- facing fears can be scary, but you can build up your confidence, belief and abilities by surrounding yourself with others that have already faced similar fears.  They can help you benefit from belief transference, positive influence and support along the way. Eliminate Distractions- the best way to deal with your fears to to block out some time and hit them head on.  Don't allow distractions, easy ways out and others to distract you from your objective and focus on conquering your fears. Do Less Not More- the key to handling your fears is not to take everything on all at once.  Don't feel you need to do it all.  Just simply take the first step.  Most times, the answers, details and solutions come along the way.  The path to dealing with your fears will most time reveal the solutions you are looking for along the way.   Ultimately, there is not magic pill or easy way to get through facing yours fears. You are the only one equipped to handle your fears.  You are the only that can face them.  But, if you will remember and adopt the idea that “Everything happens for a reason and that reason is there to Benefit me”, then your perspective will drive your experience.  True or not, that will empower you to create an experience of growth and learning rather than failure, disappointment and struggle.   WARNING:  Don't Let This Happen! I have a thought that came to me, and it is a simple (but serious) word of caution or warning.  Sometimes we fail to recognize that the opportunity or situation “already present in our life” is what we fear dealing with the most.  As a result, we (as entrepreneurs, investors, or just humans) use new opportunities as excuses to “Not deal with Fear we currently have”.  Let me give you an example.  So many times I have seen entrepreneurs or individuals chase shinny objects (new opportunites) in order to find a “way out” of working hard and dealing with the struggles they may be currently facing.  You cannot move from opportunity to opportunity thinking you are “operating outside your comfort zone” or facing new challenges, when you are truthful just avoiding finding solutions to your current situation.  Learn to face your fears regardless of where they are present in your life.   You Can Do It!! I know we all have greatness inside of us.  I know that we are given challenges for a reason and that reason is to grow and develop the best versions of ourselves.  This is not a destination driven objective.  It is a path based journey.   We learn, grow, develop along the way for our entire lives.  When you fall in love with the process…the path…then you release your need for the end result.  When you stop fixating on the end result, you can start to really enjoy the process more.     You are on a path that rewards the person willing to Lean into their Fears with the Benefit of Prosperity, Personal Growth and Happiness.  By avoiding your fears you are left with disappointment, regret and failure.  After all, you will miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  You will Benefit from 100% of the shots you do take (regardless of scoring points) if you Learn something from every shot.   Wayne Dyer said that as we all look back on the Tapestry of our Lives we will gain a better perspective and the Meaning and Purpose of our Challenges become more clear. It is my hope that when you look back on your are Happy and Confident that you Leaned into your Fear…that you took the risks…that you embraced change…that you learned to love the process of Growth.  I am working on that every day, and I believe you can to.  You can do it.  You have the abilities to handle anything if you will simply put your mind, effort and resolve to doing it.  What the mind can conceive and believe it CAN achieve.  So, Start Creating Your Best Life Today.    

Why should you Start with Fear?   What can we hope to gain from facing our fears and How do we actually start Crushing those fears?…   Here are just a few (of many) reasons to Face Your Fears: Gateway to Results- facing your fears can give you valuable experience that you can use to grow, build and learn strategies to execute at a higher level in the future.  Remember that even failure carries with it knowledge that will improve your skills moving forward. Personal Growth- the fastest way to grow is to stretch yourself.  This will most certainly happen when you face your fears.  You learn new ways to accomplish your goals, and you are forced to adapt to a new environment. Increased Fulfillment- personal growth is one of the most important ways to feel a greater amount of fulfillment and passion in your life.  Truly living only happens when we are growing personally and professionally.  Facing your fears is an amazing way to do this. Build Confidence & Belief- as we face our fears, we build confidence and belief in our own abilities to handle life and the amount of uncertainty we have in life.  The experience that comes from dealing with fear creates new beliefs that we can handle any situation in life, and this will create more confidence in our ability stop deal with even greater challenges in the future. I can go on and on about the positive benefits that come with facing your fears.  I also know that there can be difficult, emotional and negative experiences that come with facing our fears.  Rejection, Failure, and Set Backs can also come with facing your fears, but remember this…   Anything that you can Learn from a Situation can be turned into a Positive if you will just Make the Decision that it will help you Grow and do better in the Future.   How to Start Crushing Your Fear. Now let's talk about how you can start Crushing Your Fears and some ideas I have for Taking Action…   I've learned all kinds of ways to deal with fear, challenges and struggles in my life.  I wrote down a few of the Empowering Thoughts, Techniques and Disciplines that I have learned and used over the years, and here are a few of the best ideas I can give you: Say Yes, then Figure it Out- most every 7-Figure mentor that I know has adopted the idea that they will act on opportunity and figure it out along the way.  You don't need to know everything to take action. Good is Good Enough- taking action on your dreams, desires and opportunities is good enough.  Don't wait for confidence to tackle your fears.  Confidence comes after you push through your fears. Focus Your Energy- when you are leaning into fear, you must create space to focus your time, energy and talent so you can develop the skills needed to handle the challenge.  Don't multi task when facing your fears. Surround Yourself with Positive- facing fears can be scary, but you can build up your confidence, belief and abilities by surrounding yourself with others that have already faced similar fears.  They can help you benefit from belief transference, positive influence and support along the way. Eliminate Distractions- the best way to deal with your fears to to block out some time and hit them head on.  Don't allow distractions, easy ways out and others to distract you from your objective and focus on conquering your fears. Do Less Not More- the key to handling your fears is not to take everything on all at once.  Don't feel you need to do it all.  Just simply take the first step.  Most times, the answers, details and solutions come along the way.  The path to dealing with your fears will most time reveal the solutions you are looking for along the way.   Ultimately, there is not magic pill or easy way to get through facing yours fears. You are the only one equipped to handle your fears.  You are the only that can face them.  But, if you will remember and adopt the idea that “Everything happens for a reason and that reason is there to Benefit me”, then your perspective will drive your experience.  True or not, that will empower you to create an experience of growth and learning rather than failure, disappointment and struggle.   WARNING:  Don't Let This Happen!
