Have you identified your ADHD entrepreneur values?
"You hire a bunch of people, you create an offer, you market it, you do all this stuff, and then you realize... holy shit, this is not what I want at all. This doesn't reflect me as a human.." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching
When you're travelling at a million miles per hour in your business, it can be really easy to lose track of what's important.
Of the kinds of clients you want to work with.
In the kinds of circumstances and settings you want to work with them in.
This episode is all about getting you to slow down and give some thought to the things in life that are important to you. Your ADHD-preneur values should be central to everything you do. Let's identify them together!
Pssst! Do you hate the sound effects used in the podcast? If so, here's a version without!
At the end of the episode, Katie directs you to book in a session with her to get more help with your values.

My own three values
I can't stress enough how important it is for you to get straight on your values if you want to be an entrepreneur (particularly an ADHD-preneur) who shows up as your best self.
An optimal human.
Because - let's face it - that's frickin' important if you're gonna keep showing up to do the thing you do, every single day!
In this episode I'm going to help you get your head around the importance of figuring this out.
I'm going to share my own personal values with you for context so that you can adapt the idea with your own life and business.
I also share a way you can take the next step in getting this figured out, towards the end of the episode, so do give it a listen!
Anyway, my three values:
- Freedom
- Control
- Labradoodle.
Yep, that's right.
Labradoodle.
That's an actual value of mine.
It'll all become clear if you listen.
The Fiat 500!
I drive a Fiat 500.
My mom calls it a roller skate.
I call it Tina Fey.
Yep, I know that's a lot to unpack.
Don't worry, it'll all make sense if you listen, but the point is that car has a user manual.
A 'standard operating procedure' for getting the best out of it. You'll be wanting the same if you want to get the best out of you.
And this episode is here to help!
This episode that's all about ADHD-preneur values, covers:
- What ADHD-preneur values really are (they're not 'honesty' etc...)
- The three values I live by!
- Why you need values anyway
- An option you can take for getting this really nailed down and transforming your life!

How ADHD entrepreneurs can supercharge self compassion!

How to be kind to yourself when you miss those dopamine moments
"When we forgive ourselves, and we just add it to the list fresh, and it becomes a new task for us, we actually do give ourselves that dopamine when we get it accomplished..." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching
This is the episode for ADHD entrepreneurs who don't show themselves any self compassion!
Accessibility: click to read a written-to-be-read transcript of the episode
ADHD people need a little more self compassion
In this episode, I'll be talking about self-compassion, which is often difficult for individuals with ADHD.
The reason being that throughout our lives, we've been told that we're not doing things the right way, that we're not paying attention enough, and our work isn't good enough.
All of this negative self-talk makes it hard for you to be kind to yourself as an ADHD entrepreneur.
I'm going to shares my personal experience of how my inner child is still affected by the experiences of my childhood and how easy it is to recognise it in others.
Why is self-compassion difficult for individuals with ADHD?
Growing up, we've heard negative messages that have created a harsh inner critic. This self-talk leads to us punishing ourselves when we miss self-imposed deadlines, which are often arbitrary and associated with failure.
ADHD and Overcompensation
Individuals with ADHD have to overcompensate in many ways to function in traditional systems such as schools and jobs.
This creates a higher standard that we hold ourselves to, which results in us not allowing ourselves to screw up.
However, we have never-ending compassion for other people who make mistakes.
Nobody said we aren't 'interesting', us folks with ADHD! 😂😂
The Playground Incident
If you have kids, I hope you listen to this episode, because you need to be aware of the challenges they're already facing which will potentially shape their adult struggles.
You have to hear what I witnessed this week from a local Philidelphia school teacher!
This episode that's all about ADHD self compassion, covers:
- The episode discusses how ADHD entrepreneurs struggle with self-compassion, which is difficult for them to access.
- People with ADHD have been told throughout their lives that they are doing it wrong, not paying attention, or not good enough, which affects their self-talk.
- ADHD entrepreneurs tend to hold themselves to a higher standard than others, despite having never-ending compassion for others who screw up or miss deadlines.
- The pressure to overcompensate and function within systems that do not work for them results in this need to be better, and it makes self-compassion impossible for them.

Who will get the most out of this episode all about ADHD self compassion?
This episode is particularly useful for individuals with ADHD who are struggling to show themselves self-compassion.
The episode addresses the negative inner dialogue many people with ADHD have internalized, due to the harsh and critical messages they have been told throughout their lives.
The episode also looks at how people with ADHD must overcompensate in order to function in traditional systems, resulting in unrealistic self-imposed standards that are difficult to meet.
Ultimately, this episode serves to help individuals with ADHD practice self-compassion and understand that everyone makes mistakes.

What is shiny object syndrome?
Shiny object syndrome is the shiny new thing that catches your attention and makes you want to drop everything and pursue it.
It's the siren song of the squirrel that tells you to forget about your goals and chase after something shiny and new.
And it can be a real problem if you let it take over your business!
How do you know if you have shiny object syndrome?
If you find yourself constantly starting new projects but never finishing them, or if you're always chasing after the latest shiny new thing but never actually implementing anything, then you might have shiny object syndrome.
The danger of shiny object syndrome is that it can lead you away from your goals and make you feel like you're not making progress.
It can be a real problem in business, because it's easy to get caught up in the shiny new thing and forget about your original goals.

Time management ADHD challenges faced by ADHD entrepreneurs
"It becomes this kind of self punishing cycle where we are just constantly reminded of how we're quote, unquote, 'broken' and not like other people. And so I just want to normalize for anyone who's listening that you're not broken, your brain just works in a different way and you're getting advice that doesn't work for your brain.

Niche Down to Stand Out
As an entrepreneur with ADHD, deciding on a niche for your business can feel like you're trying to do the impossible.
You’re juggling countless interests and ideas, and the fear of missing out on potential clients can paralyze you from making any decision.
Welcome to the Weeniecast! I'm Katie McManus, a business strategist and money mindset coach, here to help you conquer those fears and take the leap into niche picking with confidence.
In this bonus episode, we tackle why weenies - AKA those too scared to make bold business decisions - need to niche down hard to succeed.
I cut through the crap and dive into the real reason behind your fear of picking a niche: the scarcity mindset.
We cover the numbers game, emphasizing that with 7.88 billion people on Earth, finding your 600 clients is more than doable.
Ever worried that niching will limit your client base? Think again.
We'll explore how niching actually makes it easier for the right clients to find and choose you. Plus, I share the difference between running a hobby and operating a business that makes serious money—hint: it involves niching down.
By the end of this bonus episode, you'll understand how to leverage your niche to become a specialist, thus allowing you to charge more and stand out in a crowded market.
We'll cover how to identify your ideal client by talking directly to them and understanding their pain points and dreams. You'll leave better equipped to create marketing strategies that resonate deeply with your audience and close sales with confidence. Ready to stop being a weenie and step into your power as an entrepreneur? Tune in and transform your approach to business.
Takeaways:
- Niching down allows you to attract the right clients and stand out in a crowded market.
- With 7.88 billion people on Earth, finding your 600 ideal clients is entirely feasible.
- Being a generalist limits your marketing potential; specificity enhances your referrals and visibility.
- Specializing in a niche enables you to charge higher rates and reduce competition.
- Understanding your ideal client's pain points is crucial for effective marketing strategies.
- Don't let the fear of missing out on clients paralyze your decision-making process.

How Desperation Fuels Manifestation! Will You Burn The Ships Like Hernán Cortés?

Manifestation Lessons from Desperate Hernán Cortés!
Get your free worksheet download - here.
In this episode of the Weeniecast, “How Desperation Fuels Manifestation” we're talking about 'burning the ships' as a metaphor for going all in with your goals and dreams.
By looking at historical anecdotes, personal stories, and some well-known examples from pop culture, I explore how this all-or-nothing mindset can push you towards success when you’re backed into a corner.
This episode kicks off with a Sean Connery impression but don't get it twisted!
We're taking manifestation - real manifestation that is - very seriously here.
Using Hernán Cortés' extreme method of motivating his men by burning their ships, I draw parallels to how desperation can lead to powerful moments of manifestation that change your life and career trajectory.
Throughout the episode, you'll learn how to harness the potential of desperate situations to manifest what you truly desire.
I discuss the common misconception that manifestation is akin to making a wish list for the universe, and instead, I focus on the importance of intuitive actions and being open to unplanned paths.
I share my own experiences, from volunteering for redundancy to managing a yarn shop, and how these seemingly trivial or desperate decisions opened doors I never could've predicted.
You'll also hear about how iconic figures like Oprah and Elizabeth Gilbert used moments of desperation to switch gears and find profound success, illustrating that sometimes, it takes hitting rock bottom for true clarity and opportunity to emerge.
By the end of the episode, you’ll be better equipped to recognize and act upon those moments of desperation, transforming them into catalysts for manifesting your dreams.
No longer will you feel paralyzed by fear or failure; instead, you'll understand how to leverage these moments to find novel paths to success.
Companies mentioned in this episode:
- Cisco Systems
Timestamped summary
00:00 Embrace openness; plans often limit possibilities.
04:33 Elizabeth Gilbert lost inspiration for abandoned book.
07:05 Volunteered for layoff, managed yarn shop afterwards.
11:29 Accident inspired recovery and pursuit of coaching.
13:48 Revelations arise from adversity and isolation.
