Can you turn an ADHD hyperfixation into a business?

Do you have a business or an ADHD hyperfixation?

"Your business can evolve with you. But there are some things to do on the front end. If you want to avoid it being a huge waste of money, if you're concerned that you might not stick with it...." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching

If you're feeling overwhelmed and defeated because your ADHD is hindering your ability to start a successful business, resulting in unfinished projects and scattered ideas, then you're not alone!


Following your life's calling 

Pursuing a business idea that aligns with your passion is essential to maintain long-term engagement in the venture. Entrepreneurs who follow their calling often find more satisfaction and success in their endeavors, as well as a deeper sense of personal fulfillment.


My life's calling as the brand Katie McManus has led me through various ventures, including dating coaching, leadership coaching, and now coaching 'alchemy'.


I advocate for individuals to trust their instincts and take chances in exploring their interests, whether they stem from hyper fixations or not.


By following their life's calling, individuals, including those with ADHD, can find success, purpose, and happiness in their entrepreneurial journey!


Small investments and market research

Investing time and money in a potential business idea *can* be daunting.


To avoid wasting resources, it's essential to start small, testing the waters with minimal investment and conducting market research to validate the idea.


This process can ease the transition into a full-fledged business by ensuring the venture is worth pursuing and has market demand.


Additionally, starting small allows entrepreneurs to learn along the way, understanding business nuances and making necessary adjustments.


In this episode of "The Weeniecast" I wanna stress the importance of researching the demand for a product or service and exploring ways to test the business idea without making significant financial commitments.


So be open minded of my suggestions to start on platforms like Etsy, advertising on social media, and paying monthly fees to ensure that the business has continuous growth while keeping initial costs low.


In this way, even as an ADHD-preneur, you can make informed decisions and overcome the initial hurdles in your entrepreneurial journey.

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.
