Hyperfixation again!

Ever found yourself so absorbed in a topic or task that it feels like the rest of the world just...vanished?

Welcome to the world of hyperfixation, my ADHD peeps! It's like our brains are hosting a one-man-show and everyone else is an unwanted guest.

This becomes a real rollercoaster ride during sales calls for us entrepreneur types.

You might catch yourself blabbering on about your world-changing product, but oops! You've forgotten about the real star of the show – your potential client.

In the latest Weeniecast episode, I’m diving into the deep end of how to put the brakes on this hyperfixation express train. Here's our previous episode all about hyperfixation if you need more of a deep dive on that specific topic!

Spoiler: it’s all about self-awareness and making your client the heart of the conversation.

So, resist the urge to hog the spotlight, folks. Instead, tune into the thoughts, needs, and feelings of your clients.

Not only does this boost your active listening game, it also helps you see how your product or service can truly make a difference to them.
