Accountability Strategies for ADHD Entrepreneurs
The Impulsive Thinker
10/28/21 • 8 min
This podcast only came to a reality because I did this project differently. This podcast almost came to the usual ADHD demise of being dropped because of our negative self-talk and rumination. This time I reached out to people to discuss the project and they became my accountability partners and cheerleaders. Who keeps you accountable? Who cheers you on?
