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 - for ADHD entrepreneurs and neurodivergent business owners
I help ADHD entrepreneurs and neurodivergent business owners make more money in less time. And currently, I'm helping some of them get eleven times the value of their investment back.
How do I do it?
I help them understand and leverage their ADHD so they can get it working for them, not against them when it comes to their business strategy.
Do you want to learn specific tools and tricks for overcoming ADHD in YOUR business?
Want coaching on money mindset, sales advice, and general ADHD entrepreneurship, but from the safety and comfort of your own space?
Maybe you're an aspiring entrepreneur who wants to start your own business but feel burdened by your ADHD diagnosis?
If you're wanting to listen to business strategy and money mindset advice that's specifically targeted to business owners like you who have ADHD and other types of neurodiversity, then "The Weeniecast" is the ADHD entrepreneurs podcast for YOU.

I've helped ADHD entrepreneurs like you to scale their revenue towards six figures in months, not years.
It can be done.

ADHD doesn't have to be as big an issue in business as some people think.

With each episode of this podcast, I'll be guiding you further along the path to entrepreneurial success even if you have ADHD.

Each episode we cover various ADHD entrepreneur challenges including:

Leadership skills
Executive dysfunction and ADHD meltdowns
Embracing imperfection
Overcoming rejection sensitive dysphoria
'Shiny object syndrome'
Time management (and why things like pomodoro technique don't work for us)...

If you're an ADHD entrepreneur, then you'll be only too familiar with any of these challenges and how they can impact on your business.

Do YOU allow them to get in the way of your success?

If so, stop whatever you’re doing, and click the follow or subscribe button for this show on your favorite podcast app, right NOW!

I'm Katie McManus and I help entrepreneurs with ADHD to stop being weenies, and start being successful.

As a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) I know how to help people like you to break through their own limiting self beliefs.

I help them understand their own potential for growing their dream business and making seriously life changing amounts of money.

Having ADHD does not stop you from having a winning business strategy!

Each episode I’ll be sharing stories and insights which will inspire you, as a fellow ADHD person with designs on entrepreneurship to step OUT of the weenie, and IN to the winning life of being a successful ADHD entrepreneur!
