5 Qualities You Need In Others as an ADHD entrepreneur

ADHD entrepreneur - here are the qualities you need to seek in your business 'comrades'!

Welcome back to another episode of The Weeniecast - the podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs seeking business strategies. I'm your host Katie McManus and in this week's episode I’m reflecting on my own entrepreneurial journey and sharing the five key qualities I look for in others as an ADHD entrepreneur. 

Without wishing to make it sound like we're filling in a dating app shopping list, it's really important to make sure you're always right swiping on the people who lift you, not hold you back.

From genuine passion for their work to a strong focus on impact and creative problem-solving, these qualities are essential for building a supportive and thriving business network. 

But that's not all – I’m also going to talk about setting boundaries and valuing your own worth as a professional. 

How to surround yourself with individuals who understand the value of mutually beneficial transactions and are not afraid to ask, "What's in it for me?"

We’ll also look into why being asked to work for free is an absolute nope and why you need to walk away from people who think it’s OK to do that!

Qualities to Look for as an ADHD Entrepreneur

Ok, so there are a few qualities that are important for building a successful business and maintaining motivation. 

I just want to name that it's crucial to surround yourself with people who genuinely love what they do and are passionate about their work. 

And I mean obsessively, fandom creating-ly passionate!

Money shouldn't be the sole measure of success; instead, it's important they, and you, focus on the impact you have on clients and the world.

Being resourceful and having a can-do attitude is also essential for overcoming challenges.

It's also hella important to surround yourself with supportive individuals in your industry and those who are comfortable with transactional relationships!

Overcoming Challenges and Being Resourceful

Surrounding yourself with peeps who are always being resourceful and having a 'can do' spirit is crucial in entrepreneurship.  And especially so when you have ADHD!

Rather than giving up when faced with obstacles, successful entrepreneurs see challenges as opportunities to tap into their creativity and network.

And if they're really smart, that network includes you!

They find ways around the walls and barriers and maintain an optimistic mindset.

Surrounding yourself with individuals who have this problem-solving mentality can greatly benefit your own entrepreneurial journey.

The key moments in this episode are:

00:02:58 Avoid lone wolves who view business as a cutthroat game

00:04:08 Surround yourself with confident, transactional people

00:04:52 It’s ok to say “no”. Get practicing

About the Podcast

The Weeniecast: make more money, create an impact
Money mindset and impact coaching for business owners
I help business owners make more money in less time, so they can create bigger impact.
It doesn't matter what it is, we all have a sense of purpose. We want to leave a legacy.
We want to matter. And the best way of doing that, is to become wealthy.
But the sad reality is a lot of us are stuck in 'weenie' mode. In other words, we make up excuses for why we can't become our brilliant, wealthy selves.
That ends with this podcast.

My name is Katie McManus.
As a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) I know how to help people like you to reach their financial goals, and earn the life they've always dreamed of.

Until quite recently, I described myself as a business strategist and money mindset coach who was focusing on helping business owners with ADHD to get more income from their business.
I've been helping some of them get eleven times the value of their investment back.
And then, I had an epiphany.
I was being a weenie.
Being a business strategist is not the limit of my gifts to the world.
I'm also a political activist, a serial entrepreneur who oversees multiple six figure businesses, and I'm the founder of a non-profit with dreams of helping members of the LGBTQ+ community to find more joy from their lives in a very specific way.
And all of that is being achieved by scaling my business in a way that I don't have to be in it every hour of the day, but still make enough money to work hard on making impact.
Do you also want to learn how you can make more money, in less time, so that you can create impact on your community, or with projects that are important to you?

Want coaching on money mindset, sales advice, and general business growth, but all from the safety and comfort of your own space?

If you're wanting to listen to business strategy and money mindset advice that's specifically targeted to business owners like you who want to achieve BIG things but maybe have some challenges, then "The Weeniecast" is the podcast for YOU.

I will help you understand your own potential for growing a dream business that works without you but still makes seriously life-changing amounts of money.
