ADHD and Entrepreneurship: 3 Reasons You Should Start a Business with ADHD

10/29/24 • 6 min

If you’ve been dreaming of starting your own business but feel like ADHD might hold you back, this video is for you. I’m breaking down three powerful reasons why your ADHD traits, like distractibility, impulsivity, and discomfort with structure, can actually fuel your success as a business owner.
Key Takeaways:

Creativity from Distractibility: Your ADHD-fueled big-picture thinking and creativity can help you come up with innovative business ideas.
Impulsivity Equals Bold Moves: While impulsivity can feel risky, it also empowers you to take action and seize opportunities quicker than others.
Thriving in Chaos: Struggling with routine makes you adaptable, which is a massive advantage in the constantly shifting world of entrepreneurship.

So if you’ve got a big idea and the resilience to push forward, there’s no better time to start than now!

If we haven’t met yet, I’m Mina Raver, and I'm here to help entrepreneurs with ADHD be happier, healthier, and more productive.
