You might not realize it, but your fears of appearing attention-seeking on social media could be holding you back from the success you're aiming for. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and welcome to the Weeniecast! In this episode, I'm diving into the common anxieties we entrepreneurs face, especially those of us with ADHD, when it comes to marketing ourselves and our businesses.

Let me ask you: Do you cringe at the thought of posting about your work or, heaven forbid, sharing a selfie? Does the idea of calling attention to yourself make you feel like you're in grade school again, worried that everyone will think you just want attention? If so, you're not alone. I've been there, and so have countless clients I've coached. The truth is, if you're not showing up in your marketing, people can't find you, and they certainly can't hire you. In this episode, I'll guide you through understanding the deep-rooted fears that make marketing feel "icky," and more importantly, how to overcome them.

You'll learn why calling attention to your business is essential, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. You'll also hear about the surprising benefits of being visible, including how to handle negative feedback and why your ideal clients are out there waiting for you to show up. After listening, you'll be better equipped to tackle those inner doubts, post with confidence, and attract the clients who truly need your unique talents. So, tune in and let's transform your marketing from a fearful task into a powerful tool for success.

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.
