Balancing the celebration and shame of ADHD entrepreneurs

ADHD entrepreneur - are you in celebration, or shame?

So there's one side of the ADHD conversation, and it's kind of a cheerleader world, right? It's this very positive spin on something that is actually a learning disability. 

It's looking at all of the ADHD traits as superpowers.


It's looking at the magic of it. It's saying how creative you are and also kind of just laughing off some of the more inconvenient things that happen with people with ADHD.


The fact that we lose our keys, and the fact that we have very, very specific memories of, like where that one rubber band is that we put in a drawer, like seven years ago is, but we can't remember where we put our shoes.


So it's charming, it's fun, it's light, but there's also the dark underbelly of ADHD..." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching

  • Getting triggered by the cheerleaders

  • The truth about the impact of ADHD for people who have it.

  • Your 'book of evidence' that you carry around.

  • My own story of how ADHD impacted on my school days.

  • Mrs Nishioka, the origami genius.

  • How I can help you get to grips with the dichotomy of darkness and light for ADHD entrepreneurs

 


Who will get the most out of this episode about ADHD entrepreneurs and finding the balance between the darkness and light?

The truth is, yes, there are a lot of benefits to having ADHD. 


We tend to be more creative, and connect the dots of problem solving more quickly than neurotypicals.


But there's also the dark underbelly of being a diagnosed card-carrying member of the ADHD community.


And when you're in business, you sometimes need to understand not only what those are, but how you can overcome them.


And thrive.


Because, my dear weenie, I really want you to thrive.


 


How to balance the darkness and light with your ADHD

This episode will guide you through what you need to know to find that beautiful harmonious balance between the two sides of your ADHD.


Yes, it can be a superpower. But it's also a curse.

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.
