Listen "Helping Distracted Entrepreneurs Overcome Overwhelm in Order to Grow Their Business with Cindy Baker"
Episode Synopsis
Research by Zippia indicates that 82% of individuals do not
have an effective system for managing their time. This results in 51% of their
workdays being spent on less valuable activities. Consequently, businesses in
the United States suffer annual losses of approximately $588 billion due to
workplace distractions.
A survey conducted by The Alternative Board found that 35%
of business owners attribute their low productivity to poor time management.
Cindy Baker, a speaker and productivity coach, is the
founder of CBC - Cindy Baker Coaching, a coaching and education company
dedicated to entrepreneurs. With a master's degree in counseling and over 19
years of experience as an educator, Cindy's mission is to share the success
secrets she has discovered throughout her journey as an entrepreneur with ADHD.
She aims to inspire other creative professionals to leverage their brain's
strengths to become positive, prepared, and productive. Her productivity
training has helped countless entrepreneurs overcome feelings of overwhelm,
gain clarity and focus, and effectively manage their time. Fueled by faith and
coffee, Cindy enjoys being a wife, grandmother, and dog mom. When she’s not
coaching, she can often be found singing in her church choir or spending time
outdoors.
Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, I worked hard to
compensate for symptoms such as procrastination, forgetfulness, difficulty
focusing, and feeling overwhelmed. After my diagnosis, I found myself in the
midst of my usual "scroll break" one day. What I intended to be just
a few minutes to check my phone turned into 30 minutes of mindlessly watching
YouTube videos. It hit me: I wasn't just procrastinating; I was giving away my
dreams minute by minute with each unplanned break.
So, I made a change. Instead of trying to manage my time, I
began managing my focus. I divided my day into short, powerful sprints. I set a
timer and committed to focusing on just one task until the timer went off—no
scrolling, no multitasking. It worked! I realized that my brain just needs
structure. I developed my focused sprint method and other ADHD-friendly
strategies into a framework to help other entrepreneurs.
I don’t believe we need more hours in the day. We simply
need to dedicate our best energy to what matters most. With small changes and
new habits, we can accomplish more with less stress. Many people feel they are
letting someone down—either neglecting their family to grow their business or
sacrificing their own health and well-being. It brings me great joy to instill
hope in people when they realize that there is another way to live.
