AI Coaching priority | Learn how to avoid distractions

Distraction is interrupting attention and stimulating to draw attention away from the task of primary interest.

If distraction becomes a habit, we are unable to sustain the focus required for creativity in our professional and personal lives.

Examples of distraction

Interrupting focused work to check email
Looking at notifications that pop up on your phone while talking with family, friends, or colleagues
Scrolling through your social media feeds when you planned to study or finish an activity
Chatting with coworkers who pop by your desk when you intended to do focused work

What we want on the opposite is traction. Any action that moves us towards what we really want.

Causes of distraction are internal and external triggers.

Internal triggers are cues from within us and are often negative feelings as being cold, hungry or stressed.
External triggers are cues from our environment that tell us what to do next. Television, other people or smart phone notifications.

Four strategies for becoming indistractable

1. Master internal triggers.

The root cause of human behavior is the desire to escape discomfort. Distraction, then, is an unhealthy escape from bad feelings. Once you can recognize the role internal triggers like boredom, loneliness, insecurity, fatigue, and uncertainty play in your life, you can decide how to respond in a healthier manner. You can’t control how you feel, but you can learn to control how you react to the way you feel.

2. Make time for traction.

Many people talk a good game about what’s important to them like their families, their health, and their friends, but when it comes to investing time in these areas of their lives, they get distracted and don’t follow through. They don’t live up to their values because they don’t make time for them in their day.

3. Hack back external triggers.

Examples are:

Remove the apps you no longer need.
Remove apps that you like, but that you can use on your computer instead.
Adjust your notification settings for each app.
Eliminate endless feeds.

4. Prevent distraction with pacts.

An effort pact is a kind of pre-commitment that involves increasing the amount of effort required to do something you don’t want to do. A price pact puts money on the line. If you stick to your intended behavior, you keep the cash. If you get distracted, you forfeit your funds. An identity pact is another way to change your response to distractions. Your self-image has a profound impact on your behavior. By taking on a new identity, you empower yourself to make decisions based on who you believe you are.

‍

You do. Your content stays exclusive to your app and is not used to train models for other customers.

Stated plainly, because vagueness here costs deals:

Your uploaded content remains yours
It stays exclusive to your instance and your digital twin
It is not used to train models serving other customers
It is not shared with third parties

For a coach or consultancy this is existential rather than administrative. Your methodology is the business. Handing it to a platform that folds it into a shared model would mean funding your competitors' capability.

If you're evaluating alternatives, make this a written question rather than a verbal one, and read the answer carefully. "We don't train on customer data" and "your data is secure" are different claims, and only one of them is the one you need.

Creator plans start at $29/month, with $99 and $199 tiers adding included seats and the ability to sell to individuals and businesses. A 14-day free trial is included.

The tiers map to business stage rather than feature-gating for its own sake:

$29/month — build your white-label app. For validating the product and shaping your coach before you have clients on it.
$99/month — includes seats, coach panel and monitoring, creator mode for coaching, roleplays and self-assessments, your own domain-code. For coaches with an active client base.
$199/month — more included seats, plus the ability to sell your app to individuals and add your own store. For those running it as a product line.
Enterprise — per-user pricing by volume and commitment, with custom features like SSO and assessments, for any number of users.

For context: a single human coaching session can run several hundred dollars. The entry tier costs less than one session per month and serves an unlimited audience.

‍

Yes. The $99, $199 and enterprise tiers let you sell your branded app to individuals or businesses, with a coach panel, analytics, SSO and GDPR posture that corporate buyers require.

Three business models fall out of this, and they're not mutually exclusive:

The entry product. A subscription AI coach running your methodology, sold to people who could never afford your 1:1 rate. Fully automated, and a natural funnel into your premium work.

The retention layer. Existing clients stay engaged with your method between sessions. Results improve — coaching that stops at the end of the call mostly doesn't stick — and renewals improve with them.

The enterprise offer. You license your branded AI coaching software to corporate clients. This is the one that changes the size of the business: you stop being a coach they hire and become a platform they license.

That third model is why the compliance features matter to a solo coach. SSO and GDPR posture are what let you answer a procurement questionnaire without disqualifying yourself.
