Welcome back to another episode of The Weeniecast - the podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs seeking business strategies. I'm your host Katie McManus

Let’s investigate the topic of marketing for your brand new business.

But before we jump in, let's address a common trap that many entrepreneurs fall into: cutting corners.

In order to get you past some seriously troublesome obstacles you might come across when trying to get revenue for your new ADHD business, I’m going to share a personal story about my misguided college experience and how it taught me the importance of doing things properly before jumping into anything.

This lesson applies to your business as well.

Trust us, this episode will save you time, money, and headaches in your journey as an ADHD entrepreneur!

  The importance of due diligence

In this episode of The Weeniecast, I'm going to talk you through the significance of conducting thorough research before making important business decisions. 

Cutting corners and then hoping for the best is such a weenie way of getting started. 

But if you are going to jump right in (and you will want to because you're ADHD!) then you need to know what to look out for when it comes to getting attention for your business.

This is why I'm here to help you with this episode.

The pitfalls of going prematurely

Seriously. cannot. stress. this. enough! It's not a great idea to go rushing into marketing before having a verified offer.

I'll explain how you can ensure yours is first and that you've got a solid business that's ready for marketing.

Hiring marketers without having a market-ready offer can be seriously weenie.

Doing the groundwork and validating the demand for the product/service is crucial before diving into those marketing efforts!

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?

If so, stop whatever you’re doing, and click the follow or subscribe button for this show on your favorite podcast app, right NOW!

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!
