How to build discipline when you're an ADHD entrepreneur

ADHD and goal-centred discipline

Hey there, it's Katie McManus here, and in this episode of The Weeniecast, I dive into a topic that I get asked about all the time: how to build discipline when you have ADHD.

It's a question that many people with ADHD struggle with, especially when the traditional idea of discipline feels out of reach.

We need to let go of the vision of perfect discipline and understand that for individuals with ADHD, discipline looks different.

It's goal-centered, built in sprints, and relies on momentum rather than motivation.

I use the example of building a workout routine to illustrate this point.

Instead of overwhelming ourselves with complex fitness plans, we need to set low expectations and celebrate the small wins.

Oh, and if you're an ADHD entrepreneur who.... ermmmm like me.... likes to keep up to date with axe cutting news, I've got this rather lovely TikTok channel you can follow.

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?

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!
