Every day, we tell ourselves stories about our business, our life, our relationships. And often those stories limit our success.

I’m guilty of it, and I hear these limiting stories from clients every day. It’s hard to get out of our comfort zones and find a new way, and it often takes someone looking from the outside in to remind us that it’s possible.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of the stories you might be telling yourself and how you can reframe those stories into something that keeps you propelling forward. There are people who can help you, if you only let them.

153. Creating Momentum in Your Business

Entrepreneurship can be really challenging, especially when you’re neurodivergent. We’re responsible for our own energy and ensuring that the long to-do list we make for ourselves gets done each day or week.

But long to-do lists don’t work for our ADHD brains. In fact, they probably hinder our progress.

Instead, we need little hacks to create momentum in our business, even when (especially when) we’re just not feeling it right now. I’ve had many of those moments where my toddler brain threw a tantrum instead of getting the work done. So I’ve had to get creative on how I regroup and keep moving forward.

And sometimes, a little bit of accountability doesn’t hurt either.

Listen in this week as I share six ways you can create more momentum in your business if you’re feeling stuck right now. More momentum in business usually means feeling better in life too. Who doesn’t want that!?

155. Structuring Your Money Power Hour

One of the biggest challenges of many business owners is managing their money. Not because they’re not making money, but because they aren’t taking care of it. Without some clear actions around your money on a consistent basis, you might not make the best decisions about it.

In the neurodivergent world, it can feel really overwhelming to sit down and “take care of your money.” Because what do you need to do? How long will it take? What if I’m not happy with my revenue and would rather just ignore it all?

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing what a money power hour might look like for you. Some of the things we need to do should probably be done weekly while others you can do monthly, quarterly, or even annually.

So get out whatever you use to take notes and listen in! It’s time to prioritize your money.
