Navigating the business world with ADHD can be a whirlwind. You're juggling multiple tasks, chasing exciting opportunities, and constantly fighting to keep your focus sharp. Join me and my guest, Rachel, as we unpack the unique challenges and strategies of being ADHD entrepreneurs. We share our personal journeys, our victories, and our struggles. As two business owners with ADHD, we know the toll it takes on mental reserves each time we must refocus, but also the joy of conquering challenges in our own unique way.
Being an ADHD entrepreneur often means being pulled in different directions by new and shiny opportunities. Rachel and I discuss the importance of staying the course and establishing rock-solid business models. We also explore the repercussions of frequently shifting client bases and the crucial balance between chasing new ventures and maintaining existing goals. As ADHD business owners, we understand the thrill of a new venture but also the wisdom of thoughtfully weighing the return on investment.
Our conversation takes a deep dive into building a workflow that suits the neurodivergent mind. We talk about how routines and accountability play crucial roles in managing our focus. You'll learn about the gadgets and apps that assist my workflow, like Opus Pro, Instagram Reels, and The Script, an online web app that edits and transcribes videos. This episode is an insightful peek into the world of ADHD entrepreneurs. So, whether you're an ADHD business owner or just someone seeking to understand the unique challenges and opportunities that neurodivergent minds bring to the business world, this episode is for you.
