Overcoming breaking points: An ADHD entrepreneur's Guide

From plateau to prosperity: overcoming growth roadblocks with delegation

"The things that are in your comfort zone right now were the things that could get you here to this point in your business. They are not the things that will get you to the next level in your business." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching

Ready to kick that business plateau in the butt and soar to dizzying heights of success?

The Do-It-All-itis Epidemic

If you're an entrepreneur, particularly of the ADHD variety, you might be intimately familiar with the urge to have a finger in every business pie.

This do-it-all mania, my friends, can turn into a major speed bump on the road to success.

Juggling more balls than a circus performer?

Hello, burnout!

But, hey! Guess what?

There's a magic word that can save us all!

And it's not even a complicated one like in Harry Potter hahaha! 

It's called 'delegation'.

It's time to trust in the prowess of others and put those control freak tendencies on the back burner.

 Yours truly is here to tell you why getting over do-it-all-itis and embracing delegation is a VIP ticket to success.

So, how about we reserve our energy for the stuff only we can ace, and let's let others handle the nitty-gritty! Then, we can focus on the big picture!

Mastering The Art of Systems

One word: systems.

Yep, as unsexy as it sounds, these babies are the secret to running a smooth operation and keeping overwhelm at bay.

ADHD entrepreneurs, this is your sign to jump on the Asana and Trello bandwagon, and give time-blocking a whirl.

With the right systems in place, you can keep your ship sailing smoothly, and hit those business milestones with less stress and more success.

 

Direct quote from episode

The $200,000 Plateau Blues

Ah, the dreaded revenue plateau.

After all that blood, sweat, and tears to hit the $150,000 to $250,000 mark, your business decides to take a siesta.

But guess what?

It's not a sign of doom, but a normal pit-stop on the road to entrepreneurial success.

Recognizing this hiccup for what it is, a natural part of the journey, can equip us to tackle it head-on.

In this week's Weeniecast episode, we'll get real about these breaking points and plot strategies to smash through these hurdles.

So, if you're ready to conquer the obstacles blocking your path, buckle up for a wild ride to greater success!

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.
