When you stop expecting championship results from casual effort, you start enjoying the game — in golf, business, and life.
Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee takes lessons from a round of golf to explain one of life's most freeing principles: knowing what you actually want from what you do. Whether it's business, fitness, or hobbies, we often frustrate ourselves by holding "pro" expectations while putting in "part-time" effort. Baylor shares how setting realistic expectations, defining your purpose, and learning to enjoy your current level can restore peace and productivity to your pursuits.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
How to align your expectations with your actual goals
The importance of knowing your "why" before setting your standards
Why effort and results always have to match
How to decide which skills are worth mastering — and which should just be fun
The value of leveraging your strengths to open new opportunities
Featured Quote: "You can't expect a better result than the work you're willing to put in — but you can always choose to enjoy the level you're at."
