    4. NOTABLE QUOTABLE – “I don’t think modern science has good answers here. I think that modern world is actually really bad. The modern world is full of distractions. Things like Twitter and Facebook are not making you happy. They are making you unhappy. You are essentially playing a game that’s created by the creators of those systems, and yes, it can be a useful game once in a blue moon. You are engaging in the dispute, and resentment, comparison, jealousy, anger about things that frankly just don’t matter.” – Naval Ravikant (Naval Ravikant is the CEO and a co-founder of AngelList.

    6. FACT – Ashton KUTCHER AND Guy  OSEARY JOINED WITH Ronald Burkle to form A-Grade Investments in 2010 (the first three letters of the fund represent each founder’s first name). The billionaire contributed $8 million and the use of his back office, while Kutcher and Oseary added $1 million each of their own. A-Grade’s early checks started out in the $50,000 to $100,000 range, gradually pushing into seven-figure territory. The trio targeted startups with three traits: appealing founders with whom they actively wanted to work; a problem-solving mission statement oriented around saving or enriching time; and, finally, a business model that could be boosted by their involvement.
    7. “There are a lot of celebrity ‘tourists’ in our industry these days,” says billionaire investor Chris Sacca, who graced the cover of last year’s Midas List issue. “Famous people lurking around trying to get a piece of the pie but without bringing any value to the table. For Ashton in particular it’s been a daily commitment to tech for at least eight years now.”

But like Hollywood and music, venture capital is a hits business. And even if you take away the Uber and Airbnb jackpots, A-Grade’s performance remains a solid 3.3x, thanks to other winners, including a $3 million investment in Spotify in 2010 (up at least 3x), $300,000 in Warby Parker two years later (up 7x) and $1.5 million in Houzz in 2014 (up 6x). https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2016/03/23/how-ashton-kutcher-and-guy-oseary-built-a-250-million-portfolio-with-startups-like-uber-and-airbnb/#2e2b93471175

The scientific approach to science I want to make sure that we’re getting out of today show. If you are ever struggling to get things done, you first have to ask yourself:where is your time going now doctors eat when you sit down with a young man or young woman or an older man, older woman, immature woman? When you sit down these people-and you say where is your timing? Was people’s at I can’t find time to get things done, and you said what’s going to make a list of the things that you’ve done the last week isn’t shocking, almost every kind of the realization that they have to go on. My gosh I didn’t realize. I was spending so much time doing things that aren’t needed correct and it is amazing, I mean if you google it right now. The average human in the united states of america’s watching 5 hours of tv a day that day, that’s what happens if it is i, don’t think people are understanding, though the science of it, and why this is so bad for you if you keep your smartphone on all the time. So let me just explain this to psychology today, and it’s all cited on our show notes:does the average person being interrupted 85 times a day, I’m letting you into my life for a second? If you keep your smartphone on and you have push notifications turned on, people cannot email. You now see. Do you know people that are really aggressive via email that we can person?

Guess why I planned today, I guess:i, don’t look at my email and then the last thing I do before I start the day as I get my inbox down to zero and my moves. If you send me hateful negative emails, I I literally will just block you i, don’t really respond. What happens as you enter some email, so you can send it like. You know you get the email and right away. It’s a3 pager! Yes, all caps, so just seeing it for a second I still have play the between blocked. I didn’t even read the whole thing today, but what I do is i, don’t have the mental powers to keep my invicta le from firing. My amygdala, the part of my brain part of your brain processes. Emotion! So now that part of my brain is going to happen, does your brain? It turns out can’t multitask so now, you’re cerebal cortex, the part of your brain. That makes critical thinking and logical, logical best business coach decisions. It no longer can process information and I’ve got it down to where I can maybe like a minute or two so I took a shower and i, listen to a song from a td jakes service called I give myself away lord. So you can use me that was my listen to that was so irate I got to listen to something positive, I’m taking a shower here, because I’ve got to get back into it.

So like a pavlovian of the dog theory here every morning, I know then about 5:10 I’m going to be upset every morning.

So today we had an elephant in the room customer who has a fun one. He asked one of our hair stylist on a date, but he’s married and she’s married and she said I appreciate the ask, but you know got a ring on it. You’ll be light and he’s like, doesn’t stop anything, and you just will not stop. He I waited till after her shift to talk to her crib, so the manager-and she both told me, can we make this guy stopped and so guess who had to do? Was it today? What do I get big, daddy right, cuz, it’s that next level, so I knew okay, put it in my schedule and so before. We got here today to record if the bud and explain the guy hey, what’s going on how you doing have a blast, blast, demonic forces, i, believe what they’re saying it’s:okay, I believe I choose to believe you’re, a good guy. So tell me what happened and he was like well I can put on whoever I want to just right away is going for it. I’m like okay, just want to make sure I’ve heard your heart. He rides and I’m going to refund you for the haircut you already paid for and I just want you to know. There’s y I’m, poppy I believe it l. I listen.

Don’t want to have that conversation during dinner. I, don’t have a conversation at all. I! Don’t want that jacket! That’s okay! You don’t want to have it in today it was the red tower. 3 use you when I get hammered with something there’s three best business coach negatives in a day and then I’m good for like 2 weeks I’m saying is you mr. Listener? You got to find a way to limit the emotional best business coach inputs into your brain. If you would be intentional, powerful person so see talk to me how you do with hundreds of employees, thousands of dollars on the line every minute of every day. How do you limit the access to your head? What what do you do? Will never one I limit what employees can can reach me? I’ll come on okay, so I have just a handful of people that can reach me. How deep does that list? Go you to go 40 guys, I can reach you teen guys you can. We put my family, but my family in their run out now. I’m up to about a dozen you know if I bought it doesn’t need to move to some dude back up a thousand years ago did seem to work out pretty good for him. Like, most guys dudes, that you know jesus words to jesus. Yes, I do want to bring this up. He only had two people screw them and turn them in, but he was good. Strike-rate is a number 1 number 2 I’m, not I’m, not look I’m, not looking for new information on the time. I’m not running around going what’s happening. What’s going on is your problem, but they have a saying now and they say what would you do? It’s a lot of best busniess coach problems at certain times were handled and every now and then I get that dude like you did and I have to step in and only I can deal with the problem, and so those are limited.

Those are sent to me, usually in the mornings and and then I deal with them. I was just like you did you just knock them out and they’re, no fun, no fun, but you you have to and then you’d have to get your head right right back again, I mean I have been, you know, attorneys people to and yummy things happen, and and yet you can’t let that control you. You know what the emotions of the day cause you to be a reactive person and I’ll. Tell you this, but I’m going to say right now, for the listeners is going to get all of our listeners. Emotional I’ll tell you that I mean if you have a roof and you needed to get replaced, and you don’t want to work with rufus going to scam.

Claim your tickets by emailing is proof that you didn’t, and your contact information to info at drivetime, show.Com, alright, tribe, nation, welcome back to the conversation is the drive time show on your radio or talking about today is how to find more time to get things done, destroying distractions, a scientific approach, what it means to be a scientific anything. You have to start with a problem you would be observed. You have to have a hip in a hypothesis where you say this is what I think will work.

Then you have to actually implement or test it in to see what works and so having been a business coach over a decade. I really wanted to get into the psychology of how the minds of my top clients work and I mean this to help you. Mr. Listen I want to help you every top client. Do this crazy. Every top client I had what that there’s a guy shadowing me one of our teammates, and he said what did you just say was andrew and I said every top client I’ve had would be described as cerebral excuse me, and they operate in the strategic mind to quote john maxwell. This is huge. Lead people with your heart, john maxwell, said:don’t make strategic decisions with it. That is so true wow so and then you think about it, because you have to lead the people of your team with your heart, but a leader has to use his head to lead, and so president obama realized that in 2012 he was having a lot of best business coach distractions, and you can see why cuz imagine that you’re, the president united states and you go to bed and some wakes you up and says. Sir, are you aware there’s a terrorist threat over here and by the way to deliver to a group of school kids tomorrow or he has to? He knows something like president bush before 911 he actually was speaking to a group of kids. While knowing that we are at a certain threat level, there’s nothing you can do about it right. This is everyday I mean you talk about him. Hold your cards close to your vest me. The economy will move based upon the present facial expressions.

It’s a president obama. He told vanity fair interview, he said I’m only wearing gray and blue suits. Now I’m trying to pare down decision I’m reading is quoted I’m, trying to pair down decisions. I, don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing anymore, because I have too many other decisions to make. Experts explain that your pool of decision-making energy is limited and eventually, as your willpower depletes with each new decision, you make you’re more likely to act impulsively or do nothing. So you think about steve jobs I mean steve jobs. In the article talked with him. He decided to wear the same blue jeans and a black shirt every single day, every single second i, just tired of thinking about it and so I started looking into other successful people. I want to give you a list of very successful people that I’ve started this when I do, who have pare down their decisions to eliminate distractions. So bill belichick was asked about the steelers head coach cuz it steelers best business coach, allows his players or allow his players to bring smartphones in the locker room, and a lot of guys would hop on the phone doing selfie. Videos like we’re going to beat the patriots will problem is like they end up losing the game before the patriots sitting next to get distracted. But did you see what they said on social media? This is bill belichick. He says i, don’t twitter i, don’t my face! I, don’t hear book. This is a man with the 74.8% winning percentage. When asked again or talk to do about hey. Did you see what is the later the year? Did you see what someone said about you need to see any there is rumor. Has it there’s a rift between you and tom there’s a rip going on where you’re frustrated with him-and you know you didn’t want to trade the back up, but he wanted you to trade.

The backup-and this is what bill belichick said. He Said-i’m not on snap face and I’m not worried about instant chat, the guy who built dropbox, which we use airbnb, see if you’re used to airbnb before yes, dropbox airbnb reddit. This is what he says. He says:i, don’t carry and iphone, that’s so cool another. Another thing this is, this is crazy. This is crazy, is duvall robert aunt? Who is the guy? Who were the first investors in facebook chuck? Can you read this note of a quarter because this right here, nice and slow, like a usher songs, I want to marinate and soaking is powerful, i, don’t think modern science has good answers here. I think that the modern world is actually really bad. The modern world is full of distractions. Things like twitter and facebook are not making you happy unhappy. You are simply playing a game, that’s created by the creators of those systems, and yes, it can be a useful game. Once in a blue moon, you are engaging in the dispute and resentment comparison. Jealousy anger about things that, frankly, just don’t matter wow so again, duvall robert, they built facebook being addictive games. A push notification shows up on your phone. Has a red. Turn that crap off your somebody who is a duo? It’s going to annoy you as the best business coach, so you want to get down to zero. You respond and I would say what one of the seven times it’s a disturbing message or something you disagree with, and then now you have two emotional eyes at your amygdala fires. Your your your cerebal part of your brain no longer is working and there’s just so frustrated. That was the teacher strike thing is crazy teachers get me started. They can’t even have a conversation, so c I want to ask you I want to ask west carter this west you’re, a top attorney, represent some of the top people may need. Your firm represents craig rochelle with life church, doing very well joyce meyers, td jakes other leading ministries ministries all over the planet. How do you update? How do you write the content for operations agreement in operations manual?

How do you, how do you sit down and write a the articles of incorporation, the articles of organization, the dissolution agreement, with your phone on being up interrupted every 30 seconds? And how do you do that? You have to turn that thing off and there’s just no way around. It is critical thinking you can’t be interrupted, even if there’s only so much neuro capacity of brain can handle multitasking. In my opinion, multitasking something we can only try to do. That’s counterproductive, I think you should focus on one task at that task. Completed move on to the next task:not have eight things going at one time. Kutcher has had a a massively successful career as an actor, but it’s tremendously been exceeded by his invested and he keeps winning he’s batting like 8 or 10 every time, and he was he was asked. How do you find time to look at all these deals and analyze them? He says anyone who tried to build something as a best business coachthat changes people’s lives or sometimes finds life itself to be a distraction, and they can find people who don’t care as much as they do just to be annoying ashton kutcher. Is it that’s been for him, so it’s like he doesn’t want to commit to too many things. Cuz he has to block everything out for his company called a grade say, make good investments, and this guy’s invested in airbnb hit the jackpot. Uber he’s invested in the arch-nemesis warby parker he’s invested in the house, and he wants it keep saying. How does he know about these deals there? So many deals. How does he know? Cuz he’s focus oc bring me out there struggling to focus. What advice would you have for them is something that we can kick around all the time and it’s really been proven some possible to multi-task you.

You really are thinking about and doing one thing now. You may be distracted and you’re not doing anything well, but someone that says:hey, I’m I can multitask and i. Can you can’t give a hundred percent of your brain power when your multi-task good day I was I was I was so thankful that I’m not distracted in her office by pests, i, was thinking. I am not being distracted by pescas. Why business owners you see when they say? Oh, my gosh, there was a mouse in freak everybody out. I mean there was like a mosquito that was all over the place. There’s bugs but see. We don’t have that problem because we work with the good guys at platinum pest yeah, platinum pest & lawn, and they have a great no-brainer.

We have two choices for the service. Is it possible?

We could do an ant spider, mites, exedra kind of general pest control. You could do a lawn where they come out of a weed control and do fertilization. That’s a good thing as good the mosquito control best business caoch program and I are after me a call or go to the website. What is there a web address? What’s your phone number give us?
