Now that's sorted...

I'm gonna tell you something surprising about ADHD business owners—it's not what you think.

Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and welcome to The Weeniecast.

This topic might hit home for you: the rule of thirds, and why being bad at stuff is something we, ADHD business owners, are notoriously terrible at.

And it's a much bigger deal than you might realize.

So stick around, because I'm going to break this down and give you practical advice on how to tackle this head-on, transforming your business along the way.

Let me give you a little teaser of what's in store.

First off, we'll explore why ADHD folks tend to give up at the first sign of failure.

Trust me, it comes from a deeper place than just a lack of patience.

We'll also talk about how our brains are wired to only hyperfocus on things we're naturally interested in, which makes us super talented right off the bat in those areas.

But here's the kicker - when it comes to running a business, there's a mountain of skills you need that you probably don't have that natural inclination for and that can throw you for a loop.

From copywriting to sales to accounting, these aren't exactly your dopamine-packed playgrounds, right?

But don't worry, there's hope.
