Forgive me for being just a little excited about this one, but in today's frickin' awesome episode of The Weeniecast, I'm sharing what it is that I do as an ADHD business coach.
And because there aren't that many of us around, I get to feel quite special!
Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.
And welcome to "The Weeniecast."
The Impact of ADHD-Focused Business Coaching on Entrepreneurial Success
Let me tell you, as someone who's deep in the trenches of the ADHD business scene, I've always known the regular, boring-as-hell methods just don't cut it for us entrepreneurs who've sometimes got brains buzzing like a hive of hyperactive bees.
This episode is all about tearing apart why those one-size-fits-all business plans are a big fat nope for us folks who struggle with impulse control and can't seem to stay focused if our lives depended on it.

Success, ADHD-Style: Crafting Your Own Damn Rulebook!
I've watched way too many brilliant ADHD peeps get totally bummed out by stiff structures and strategies that might as well be straightjackets.
We're talking about battling the whole shebang - from the hell of time management to chasing every shiny thing that catches our eye.
Personalization isn't just some nice-to-have; it's freakin' essential for us ADHD entrepreneurs.
Screw trying to squish our brains into neurotypical boxes!
ADHD Business Coaching: Because Normal is Boring
We need custom strategies – ones that weave the wild tapestries of our lives right into our business models.
We gotta look at the big picture – our income goals, our dream lifestyles, our sporadic strokes of genius, and yeah, the faceplants we're bound to take – to create a business environment where we can thrive and be our vibrant, zany selves.
Snagging Quick Wins & Building a Biz That Fits YOU
I'll be talking through my process and sharing some kick-ass stories of clients who didn't just hit their goals; they blew them out of the water, finding financial success while juggling the ADHD chaos.
These aren't just wins; they're blazing a trail for the rest of our community.
I'm all about getting quick, tangible results – that sweet, sweet 'dopamine drip' that keeps us going.
We also get into the nitty-gritty, like tackling our special brand of 'screw you' frustration and flipping rejection on its head to make us feel like unstoppable badasses.
Have a listen and learn why I'm here to help every single client carve out their path, one that doesn’t just spell success but resonates with the crazy, beautiful complexity of an ADHD brain.

00:00:01,610 --> 00:00:04,926
In this episode, I'm going to explain to you exactly what an
2
00:00:04,948 --> 00:00:08,554
ADHD business coach like myself actually does.
3
00:00:08,602 --> 00:00:12,206
Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and
4
00:00:12,228 --> 00:00:15,918
welcome to the Weenie cast. Sometimes I
5
00:00:15,924 --> 00:00:19,642
get this question, what does an ADHD business coach
6
00:00:19,706 --> 00:00:23,486
do? And it's a fair question because there's not a lot of us out there.
7
00:00:23,588 --> 00:00:27,302
Also, you know, business coaching is kind of a new thing. Before,
8
00:00:27,356 --> 00:00:29,846
if you wanted to start a business, you kind of had to figure it out
9
00:00:29,868 --> 00:00:33,286
on your own. You had to get a mentor, maybe go to business school.
10
00:00:33,468 --> 00:00:37,062
And thanks to the Internet and thanks to how the world
11
00:00:37,116 --> 00:00:40,822
works these days, that's no longer necessary to start
12
00:00:40,876 --> 00:00:44,634
a successful business. However, it's a lot easier if you have
13
00:00:44,672 --> 00:00:48,042
someone who is guiding you, teaching you what you don't know that you don't know,
14
00:00:48,096 --> 00:00:51,040
answering questions that you didn't know that you needed to ask,
15
00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:55,374
and shining light on common pitfalls that
16
00:00:55,412 --> 00:00:58,880
you wouldn't know were there if you didn't have the right support.
17
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:03,470
So basically, an ADHD business coach, the short of it,
18
00:01:03,620 --> 00:01:07,330
is someone who helps you start your business and scale it. To
19
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,090
a point that you feel it's successful. They do this in a way
20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,734
that works with your ADHD and isn't
21
00:01:14,782 --> 00:01:18,566
trying to force you into the quote unquote neurotypical way of
22
00:01:18,588 --> 00:01:22,438
doing things. Now, before
23
00:01:22,524 --> 00:01:26,374
we jump into what I do that's different, let's talk about
24
00:01:26,412 --> 00:01:30,170
the different supports that are out there that do not work
25
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,846
for ADHD business owners and why they don't
26
00:01:33,878 --> 00:01:37,482
work. The typical business programs that are out there
27
00:01:37,616 --> 00:01:41,434
that are by people who started a business, they did
28
00:01:41,472 --> 00:01:45,066
a certain sequence of steps, and then they turned around, turned
29
00:01:45,178 --> 00:01:48,846
their process into a program and started showing people exactly what
30
00:01:48,868 --> 00:01:52,586
they did. These programs don't work for us. The one size fits
31
00:01:52,618 --> 00:01:55,954
all business plan is a bad match for people with
32
00:01:55,992 --> 00:01:59,314
ADHD for numerous reasons. First and
33
00:01:59,352 --> 00:02:03,106
foremost, just because it worked for someone else, we're not
34
00:02:03,128 --> 00:02:06,094
going to believe inherently that it's going to work for us, whereas
35
00:02:06,142 --> 00:02:09,958
neurotypicals are going to have a lot of trust that this whole process, well, if
36
00:02:09,964 --> 00:02:13,654
it worked for them, it'll work for me too, because that's how their whole life
37
00:02:13,692 --> 00:02:17,190
has gone for us. Things working for someone
38
00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:21,094
else doesn't mean shit. If you think
39
00:02:21,132 --> 00:02:24,634
back to different goals that you've had throughout your life, like maybe a
40
00:02:24,672 --> 00:02:28,346
diet, maybe you were trying to lose 20 pounds and you followed a diet that
41
00:02:28,368 --> 00:02:32,094
worked for someone else, well, it didn't work for you because sometimes you needed
42
00:02:32,132 --> 00:02:35,982
dopamine snacks and you fell off the wagon and you completely lost trust
43
00:02:36,036 --> 00:02:39,742
in yourself. How neurotypical people
44
00:02:39,876 --> 00:02:43,694
have learned how to budget from their world. We
45
00:02:43,732 --> 00:02:47,314
don't understand how that works. It does not work for us when
46
00:02:47,352 --> 00:02:50,734
we need to make an impulse buy because we need that dopamine
47
00:02:50,782 --> 00:02:54,626
hit. All budgets go out the window. Right? And of course, this
48
00:02:54,648 --> 00:02:58,262
is different for every single ADHD person. So even
49
00:02:58,316 --> 00:03:02,166
a plan that's specific to ADHD people around any
50
00:03:02,188 --> 00:03:06,022
of these things that makes allowances may not work for every single
51
00:03:06,076 --> 00:03:09,706
ADHD person. Oftentimes in these programs, the
52
00:03:09,728 --> 00:03:13,420
instructions are way too long.
53
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:17,690
We can't sit still and absorb every single
54
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,546
detail the way a neurotypical person can. It's not even that
55
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:25,182
we can't do it. It's that we have too much trauma from
56
00:03:25,236 --> 00:03:29,054
school where we screwed it up. So as we're going
57
00:03:29,092 --> 00:03:32,158
through these really detailed instructions for this business building
58
00:03:32,244 --> 00:03:35,566
program, we're going to start assuming that we're missing a
59
00:03:35,588 --> 00:03:39,054
piece. It's this fear that bubbles up underneath
60
00:03:39,102 --> 00:03:42,626
everything, where you start doubting that this is going to work for you because, oh,
61
00:03:42,648 --> 00:03:46,194
my God, I wasn't able to follow the instructions on that project in
62
00:03:46,232 --> 00:03:49,942
bio. I wasn't able to follow the instructions at that one job
63
00:03:49,996 --> 00:03:53,734
I had in college. What's going to be different here? There
64
00:03:53,772 --> 00:03:57,414
must be something that I'm missing. And one of the reasons that this is
65
00:03:57,452 --> 00:04:01,014
so hard for us is that we don't work linearly. We bounce
66
00:04:01,062 --> 00:04:04,374
around, and most of these programs are designed
67
00:04:04,422 --> 00:04:08,154
linearly. There's also this factor of when a person with
68
00:04:08,192 --> 00:04:11,686
ADHD goes to start a business and they sign up for one of these programs,
69
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:14,846
and I speak from experience here because I signed up for pretty much all of
70
00:04:14,868 --> 00:04:18,378
them. You get to a certain point in lesson three where you're like, this doesn't
71
00:04:18,394 --> 00:04:22,014
fit my personality. That's not my strength. This
72
00:04:22,052 --> 00:04:25,538
is not what I want to be spending my time on. And
73
00:04:25,624 --> 00:04:29,282
as we all know, when we decide something's not the right fit,
74
00:04:29,336 --> 00:04:32,994
when we decide that something isn't something that we want to do, we
75
00:04:33,032 --> 00:04:36,830
are masters at avoiding doing it, which sucks
76
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:40,582
if it is a foundational building block of that
77
00:04:40,636 --> 00:04:44,242
program. And then it feeds into this story that we have on ourselves
78
00:04:44,306 --> 00:04:47,874
that we just don't finish stuff, that we sign up for things and we can't
79
00:04:47,922 --> 00:04:51,674
see them through, and that we screw things up and that for some
80
00:04:51,712 --> 00:04:55,420
reason, things just don't work for us the way that they work for other people.
81
00:04:55,870 --> 00:04:59,514
So we have a ton of doubt. We
82
00:04:59,552 --> 00:05:03,334
have things that we don't want to do in here. We have moments
83
00:05:03,382 --> 00:05:06,794
where we've tuned out for the last 20 minutes of this 47 minutes
84
00:05:06,842 --> 00:05:10,606
long video, and then we got frustrated that we have to rewind because
85
00:05:10,628 --> 00:05:12,590
we weren't sure which part was useful.
86
00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:19,314
By the way, this is one of the reasons why the videos that I have
87
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:22,994
in all of my programs are really short. Sweet. To
88
00:05:23,032 --> 00:05:26,706
the point. Okay. Because you don't need to hear about my grandma and what she
89
00:05:26,728 --> 00:05:29,830
taught me about clipping roses and what that has to do with you doing market
90
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:33,718
research, okay? It doesn't. When I create a video for any of
91
00:05:33,724 --> 00:05:37,574
my programs, I'm telling you, here's what you need to do. Here's how
92
00:05:37,612 --> 00:05:40,422
you need to do it. And if you're not sold on that, then here's why
93
00:05:40,476 --> 00:05:44,154
it's so important for your business. And then I give you very clear
94
00:05:44,192 --> 00:05:48,026
instructions about how you go and do it. And then your job is to
95
00:05:48,048 --> 00:05:51,706
go and do it, not to watch the next video. In addition to all
96
00:05:51,728 --> 00:05:55,486
of this, when we get frustrated with something, when it doesn't feel like
97
00:05:55,508 --> 00:05:59,038
the right fit, or maybe the person who's in these videos,
98
00:05:59,124 --> 00:06:02,858
who's running the program says something that. Doesn'T hit us correctly,
99
00:06:03,034 --> 00:06:06,078
we then get. What I call frustration
100
00:06:06,174 --> 00:06:10,002
defiance. And this is where our ADHD temper. Kind of comes
101
00:06:10,056 --> 00:06:13,634
out, right? Because when we get frustrated with something. Our fuse gets
102
00:06:13,672 --> 00:06:17,506
very short. I want you to think of the last time
103
00:06:17,688 --> 00:06:21,238
you woke up late. The hot water heater had turned off in the middle of
104
00:06:21,244 --> 00:06:24,902
the night, so you had to take a cold shower. Things started just going wrong
105
00:06:24,956 --> 00:06:28,554
from the beginning of the day. And think about the point where you.
106
00:06:28,592 --> 00:06:32,234
Blew up at someone. It's happened to all of
107
00:06:32,272 --> 00:06:35,882
us. And unfortunately for people with ADHD, when things
108
00:06:35,936 --> 00:06:39,450
start going wrong or we fart, we fart. When we start
109
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,006
feeling really frustrated, we kind of snap. And whoever is in the
110
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:46,686
vicinity then becomes the enemy. Not forever in
111
00:06:46,708 --> 00:06:50,314
most cases, but when. We'Re in a scenario
112
00:06:50,362 --> 00:06:53,918
where we're trying to do something, we spent a lot. Of money on it, and
113
00:06:54,004 --> 00:06:57,778
the thing. That we're trying to do becomes really frustrating. We then
114
00:06:57,864 --> 00:07:01,714
aim that frustration at the person who created it. And
115
00:07:01,752 --> 00:07:05,454
when we start getting angry at. Them, when we start getting upset
116
00:07:05,502 --> 00:07:09,254
with. What they set up for us, that. Makes us feel like a failure. It
117
00:07:09,292 --> 00:07:12,774
doesn't matter if the rest of. The things that they tell us are. Super
118
00:07:12,812 --> 00:07:16,514
helpful, if they fit our personality. If they fit our strengths,
119
00:07:16,562 --> 00:07:20,006
because we've changed our mind about liking this person or this
120
00:07:20,028 --> 00:07:23,754
organization. We don't want to do any of it? It's like back in high
121
00:07:23,792 --> 00:07:27,466
school when you had that one teacher who you absolutely hated and so you
122
00:07:27,488 --> 00:07:31,218
refused to. Do homework for their class. It didn't hurt the teacher, it hurt
123
00:07:31,254 --> 00:07:34,974
you. But you'd be damned if you're going. To do
124
00:07:35,012 --> 00:07:38,810
anything that made their life easier. I'm talking to you, Miss Whitmore.
125
00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:42,446
No, just kidding. Which, by the way, in
126
00:07:42,468 --> 00:07:45,710
junior year of high school, she literally
127
00:07:46,290 --> 00:07:50,034
asked the whole class what she was doing wrong, that we weren't doing
128
00:07:50,072 --> 00:07:52,946
our homework and all this stuff, and I thought she was being literal. So I
129
00:07:52,968 --> 00:07:56,802
told her the seven things that she was doing that were bad
130
00:07:56,856 --> 00:08:00,530
teaching methods in the middle of the class. It was the only time
131
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,054
in my high school career where I got sent to the principal's office the way
132
00:08:04,092 --> 00:08:07,174
she had asked it. I thought she was being genuine, that she was asking for
133
00:08:07,212 --> 00:08:10,954
feedback. She was not. It was a rhetorical question. And
134
00:08:10,992 --> 00:08:14,474
what was funny is I called a conference with my
135
00:08:14,512 --> 00:08:18,266
guidance counselor, the principal, my parents and her to see
136
00:08:18,288 --> 00:08:21,786
if I could get out of the class. Unfortunately, we were in the third quarter
137
00:08:21,818 --> 00:08:24,960
of the year and they didn't let me. Back to the point.
138
00:08:26,850 --> 00:08:30,158
The one size fits all business building program
139
00:08:30,244 --> 00:08:33,846
model does not work for the ADHD
140
00:08:33,898 --> 00:08:37,650
brain. And I have tested this. I have bought almost
141
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,058
all of them and tried to do all of them,
142
00:08:41,144 --> 00:08:44,706
and I usually fall flat in lesson two or
143
00:08:44,728 --> 00:08:48,514
lesson three. I don't even get halfway through and. I know this
144
00:08:48,552 --> 00:08:52,214
isn't just me. I have a whole group of people that I talk
145
00:08:52,252 --> 00:08:56,006
to who are all like B school dropouts. And if you're not familiar with what
146
00:08:56,028 --> 00:08:59,826
B school is, it's the whole business building program that Marie Forleo
147
00:08:59,938 --> 00:09:03,610
has designed. And promoted over the last decade. The other issue
148
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:07,226
with a lot of these programs is that there's no quick wins in the
149
00:09:07,248 --> 00:09:10,486
beginning and that's something that is really critical to an ADHD
150
00:09:10,518 --> 00:09:14,366
business. Know, when we're working really hard at
151
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:18,094
something, when we're putting ourselves out there and being vulnerable and
152
00:09:18,132 --> 00:09:21,918
being brave and doing something we've never done before, we. Need
153
00:09:22,004 --> 00:09:25,698
pretty immediate feedback that it's going well. And the
154
00:09:25,704 --> 00:09:29,458
majority of these programs don't offer any way for that to happen.
155
00:09:29,624 --> 00:09:33,426
So what's different between those programs that are
156
00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:36,946
one size fits all and designed for neurotypical people and working with an
157
00:09:36,968 --> 00:09:40,422
ADHD business coach? Well, I can't speak for other ADHD business
158
00:09:40,476 --> 00:09:43,846
coaches because I don't know their programs, but I can speak for what. I do
159
00:09:43,868 --> 00:09:47,186
with my clients and it's pretty much a four prong
160
00:09:47,218 --> 00:09:50,842
approach. And I say four prong and not four
161
00:09:50,896 --> 00:09:54,522
steps because it's not linear for each and every
162
00:09:54,576 --> 00:09:58,362
client. It's going to be different where we. Start from because they
163
00:09:58,416 --> 00:10:02,218
need a strategy. And a plan that works for their strengths,
164
00:10:02,314 --> 00:10:06,106
that helps them overcome their unique. Challenges,
165
00:10:06,298 --> 00:10:09,854
and that feels aligned to what. Their bigger vision is for this
166
00:10:09,892 --> 00:10:10,480
business.
167
00:10:15,010 --> 00:10:18,818
Prong one, we're talking training because
168
00:10:18,904 --> 00:10:22,514
starting a business, there are a lot of skills that you need to have that
169
00:10:22,552 --> 00:10:26,274
you were never trained on in high school, college, and probably in most of your
170
00:10:26,312 --> 00:10:29,942
jobs. I come from a background in sales and marketing, and
171
00:10:29,996 --> 00:10:33,266
the sales and marketing that I learned in those jobs
172
00:10:33,458 --> 00:10:36,934
were completely different to what I need to do in my business, where I am
173
00:10:36,972 --> 00:10:40,726
selling my own service. So when a client works with
174
00:10:40,748 --> 00:10:44,458
me, there are some basic business skills that I train them on. So
175
00:10:44,544 --> 00:10:48,310
how to sell on a phone call, how to put together a proposal,
176
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:52,106
how to create content for social media. And this is going to be different for
177
00:10:52,128 --> 00:10:55,646
each and every client because their ideal clients are going to be
178
00:10:55,748 --> 00:10:59,486
buying from different platforms. So it may be TikTok, it may be Facebook, it may
179
00:10:59,508 --> 00:11:03,326
be LinkedIn, it may be Instagram. So we're coming up with
180
00:11:03,348 --> 00:11:06,894
a strategy that's specific to their business and their ideal
181
00:11:06,942 --> 00:11:10,494
clients. We're also identifying what their, and I hate this term,
182
00:11:10,542 --> 00:11:14,274
and please do not gag what their unique thought
183
00:11:14,312 --> 00:11:17,230
leadership is going to be. And I'm not saying that they're going to go out
184
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,760
and be like, hey everyone, I'm a thought leader, you should listen to me.
185
00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:25,974
I'm talking about the different angles. They're going to talk about what
186
00:11:26,012 --> 00:11:29,798
their expertise is. So for know, in my mind, there are three types
187
00:11:29,814 --> 00:11:33,450
of thought leader. There's the expert. The expert is only
188
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,242
interesting to people who are interested in that topic, right? So
189
00:11:37,296 --> 00:11:40,982
Anthony Fauci, who led us all through the Covid-19
190
00:11:41,046 --> 00:11:44,654
pandemic, most of the time no one gives a
191
00:11:44,692 --> 00:11:48,526
crap about what he has to say because what he's talking about, pandemics and
192
00:11:48,548 --> 00:11:52,334
endemics that aren't relevant to us. No one's interested in hearing his take
193
00:11:52,372 --> 00:11:56,034
on it unless you're interested in the specific disease that
194
00:11:56,072 --> 00:11:59,346
he is talking about. Everyone was very interested in
195
00:11:59,368 --> 00:12:03,010
Covid-19 because it impacted all of us. So when you're being
196
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,510
an expert in your thought leadership, you want to be careful
197
00:12:06,670 --> 00:12:10,338
not to alienate people who aren't interested in your topic.
198
00:12:10,434 --> 00:12:14,166
There's also the pointer thought leader. Oprah Winfrey is a great example of
199
00:12:14,188 --> 00:12:17,986
this. She got famous basically having people on her show and pointing
200
00:12:18,018 --> 00:12:21,706
to them and saying they have something worth talking about. A lot of
201
00:12:21,728 --> 00:12:25,354
the books in her book club had to do with personal transformation, so she
202
00:12:25,392 --> 00:12:29,066
got associated with personal transformation. She's not an
203
00:12:29,088 --> 00:12:32,846
expert on personal transformation. She just points to other experts. And
204
00:12:32,868 --> 00:12:36,442
in addition to that, the believer, the believer thought leader Brene
205
00:12:36,506 --> 00:12:40,142
Brown is actually a great example of the believer, who's also
206
00:12:40,196 --> 00:12:43,874
an expert hybrid. She takes the data that she
207
00:12:43,912 --> 00:12:47,134
gets in her research, and she comes up with this belief
208
00:12:47,182 --> 00:12:50,734
system around how we live wholehearted
209
00:12:50,782 --> 00:12:54,126
lives. What does it mean to overcome
210
00:12:54,318 --> 00:12:58,098
the fear of being vulnerable? And she tells stories in a
211
00:12:58,104 --> 00:13:01,686
way that gets us on board with what she believes. You can kind of see
212
00:13:01,708 --> 00:13:05,302
how this is going to be different for each and every client. I also
213
00:13:05,356 --> 00:13:09,074
train them on how they can create offers that their ideal clients
214
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:12,954
would jump at buying, how to do market research so that they can
215
00:13:12,992 --> 00:13:16,762
determine what their profitable niche is going to be, how to work
216
00:13:16,816 --> 00:13:20,650
on their relationship with money so that they're not afraid of asking
217
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,990
top dollar for their work, and some technical stuff like how do you set up
218
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,690
your billing system, how do you set up an email marketing campaign?
219
00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:31,166
How do you launch a webinar? How do you get people to actually register for
220
00:13:31,188 --> 00:13:34,210
the webinar? And really, for an ADHD business
221
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,700
owner, there's no linear way that I'm training this.
222
00:13:38,390 --> 00:13:41,390
We are bouncing around from different topics
223
00:13:41,470 --> 00:13:44,962
constantly because we have to go where their
224
00:13:45,016 --> 00:13:48,822
interest is, where their hyper focus is in that moment.
225
00:13:48,956 --> 00:13:52,498
If I tried to take one of my ADHD business owner clients
226
00:13:52,674 --> 00:13:56,422
through a linear training program that goes this point
227
00:13:56,476 --> 00:14:00,234
and this point and this point, I would lose them with
228
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:04,074
one small exception. One of the things that I do with all of my
229
00:14:04,112 --> 00:14:07,594
clients who are just starting their business is I have them
230
00:14:07,632 --> 00:14:11,242
do market research, interviews so that they can really
231
00:14:11,296 --> 00:14:14,670
figure out not only what their profitable niche is, but
232
00:14:14,740 --> 00:14:18,560
exactly what they need to say in their marketing to get them to sign up,
233
00:14:18,930 --> 00:14:22,750
what they need to include in their offer, that will make their offer
234
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:26,410
a no brainer for those ideal clients. Now, what my clients
235
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:30,258
don't realize, and maybe I shouldn't even be sharing this on
236
00:14:30,264 --> 00:14:33,506
the podcast, oh, what am I going to say next? Well, you'll have to keep
237
00:14:33,528 --> 00:14:36,642
listening to find out. But first, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel,
238
00:14:36,706 --> 00:14:37,510
squirrel.
239
00:14:42,250 --> 00:14:45,926
Now, what my clients don't realize, and maybe I
240
00:14:45,948 --> 00:14:49,782
shouldn't even be sharing this on the podcast. It's kind of a Mr.
241
00:14:49,836 --> 00:14:53,418
Miyagi move, right? Because very early on, when you're starting. A
242
00:14:53,424 --> 00:14:57,258
business, you need wins. You need little wins that you can celebrate to
243
00:14:57,264 --> 00:15:01,034
see that you're on the right track. When I send my clients out to do
244
00:15:01,072 --> 00:15:04,782
market research interviews, I give them all the instructions. They know exactly what questions
245
00:15:04,836 --> 00:15:08,286
they need to ask, how they get people booked in for those interviews, all that
246
00:15:08,308 --> 00:15:11,338
stuff. And I give them a goal. They have to interview
247
00:15:11,434 --> 00:15:15,226
550 people. Now, this is incredible for
248
00:15:15,268 --> 00:15:18,978
their programs, for whatever offer they are designing, because.
249
00:15:19,064 --> 00:15:22,722
They are going to market, test it before they even go out and market
250
00:15:22,776 --> 00:15:26,498
it. So if they're going and interviewing people and the problem that
251
00:15:26,504 --> 00:15:29,666
they think they're going to solve actually isn't a problem. To their ideal
252
00:15:29,698 --> 00:15:33,446
clients, great. That's not what their offer is going to be. We're going to
253
00:15:33,468 --> 00:15:37,254
redesign it really quick. So that they can start making money. As fast as
254
00:15:37,292 --> 00:15:40,954
possible so it helps. Them feel like they are on the. Right
255
00:15:40,992 --> 00:15:44,730
path and get that immediate feedback. In addition to that,
256
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,474
they get really comfortable asking people to get on the. Phone with
257
00:15:48,512 --> 00:15:52,346
them, which they're going to need to get good at if they
258
00:15:52,368 --> 00:15:56,126
want people to book sales calls in the future. They're also going to
259
00:15:56,148 --> 00:15:59,834
get really good at running those interview calls,
260
00:15:59,962 --> 00:16:03,182
at being the person who's in charge of the timeline, which
261
00:16:03,236 --> 00:16:06,914
again, when they get to the point where they're doing sales calls with their
262
00:16:06,952 --> 00:16:10,734
potential clients, they're going to have to have some skill at. In addition
263
00:16:10,782 --> 00:16:14,014
to this, they're going to start getting those dopamine
264
00:16:14,062 --> 00:16:17,910
drips because they're going to successfully very
265
00:16:17,980 --> 00:16:21,670
early on book people for these interview calls. Those
266
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:25,398
little wins are enough dopamine to keep them working
267
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:29,078
in their business for the amount of time that it takes
268
00:16:29,164 --> 00:16:32,746
till they get their first paying client. For the most part, we
269
00:16:32,768 --> 00:16:36,154
bounce around through all the skills training, but that is the thing that I have
270
00:16:36,192 --> 00:16:40,026
most of my clients do. Absolutely. First because I want them to
271
00:16:40,048 --> 00:16:43,646
get that immediate dopamine drip. I want them to market test their
272
00:16:43,668 --> 00:16:47,422
idea. I want to make their marketing easy to do and
273
00:16:47,476 --> 00:16:51,294
designing their offer super simple. But everything else is
274
00:16:51,332 --> 00:16:54,958
completely haphazard depending on what they want. And this is true for my one on
275
00:16:54,964 --> 00:16:58,494
one clients, but it's also true for my group program. If you are a member
276
00:16:58,542 --> 00:17:02,386
of the BYOB program, you'll know that our group calls are all
277
00:17:02,408 --> 00:17:06,110
over the place. And that's okay. Every question that gets asked in
278
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:09,574
those group calls is useful to everyone in the group call.
279
00:17:09,692 --> 00:17:13,110
And because the majority of us all have adhd,
280
00:17:13,770 --> 00:17:17,430
we can jump really easily from one topic to another
281
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:21,126
to another, even if they're completely different. And it keeps
282
00:17:21,158 --> 00:17:24,906
it interesting for everyone because we all know what it's like when we're in a
283
00:17:24,928 --> 00:17:28,460
lecture, that's about one thing for a whole hour.
284
00:17:28,830 --> 00:17:32,314
Yeah, it doesn't go so well. So I find this
285
00:17:32,352 --> 00:17:35,822
model of supporting my clients is so helpful for them to stay
286
00:17:35,876 --> 00:17:39,646
engaged not only in the program, but in their businesses so that they
287
00:17:39,668 --> 00:17:43,246
can actually start getting clients and build some momentum. So
288
00:17:43,348 --> 00:17:45,380
that's prong number one is training.
289
00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:50,674
Prong number two is mindset coaching. Again, this
290
00:17:50,712 --> 00:17:53,890
is going to be so different for everyone. Some of my clients come to me
291
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,634
and they have really bad mindset beliefs around their
292
00:17:57,672 --> 00:18:01,206
relationship with money. Others have a more general
293
00:18:01,308 --> 00:18:04,966
scarcity mindset where they're afraid there are no clients out there in the world and
294
00:18:04,988 --> 00:18:08,498
we. Kind of have to bust that myth for them. Others have doubts about what
295
00:18:08,524 --> 00:18:12,202
they can achieve. The smorgasbord of bad
296
00:18:12,256 --> 00:18:15,898
mindsets that we have to work through to have a. Successful business is
297
00:18:16,064 --> 00:18:19,834
vast and never ending. But we have to work through
298
00:18:19,872 --> 00:18:23,658
these. Different mindset blocks before you're
299
00:18:23,674 --> 00:18:27,454
going to be able to have a successful business. This
300
00:18:27,492 --> 00:18:30,938
is one of the reasons why I never guarantee
301
00:18:31,114 --> 00:18:33,906
that my clients are. Going to get a client or make a certain amount of
302
00:18:33,928 --> 00:18:37,534
money at a. Certain point throughout our program, because I've
303
00:18:37,582 --> 00:18:41,042
had clients who for the whole, like.
304
00:18:41,096 --> 00:18:44,734
6912 months we were working together. We were mainly
305
00:18:44,782 --> 00:18:48,566
working on moving them through these mindset blocks with
306
00:18:48,588 --> 00:18:52,214
some moments of training, with some moments of designing their offer, with them
307
00:18:52,252 --> 00:18:55,654
doing market research. But mainly the sessions we're doing
308
00:18:55,692 --> 00:18:59,542
together are, oh my God, I don't believe. I can do this.
309
00:18:59,676 --> 00:19:03,126
And I can't tell you how many of those clients after we've
310
00:19:03,158 --> 00:19:06,634
completed have messaged me. Oh my God, I just got two clients this
311
00:19:06,672 --> 00:19:10,474
week. Oh my God, I just got another. Three clients in the last two
312
00:19:10,512 --> 00:19:13,486
weeks. I had one client message me
313
00:19:13,668 --> 00:19:17,326
recently. That she just got so many clients, she's going to have to
314
00:19:17,348 --> 00:19:21,098
raise her. Rates in the new year. How exciting.
315
00:19:21,274 --> 00:19:24,930
But they wouldn't get there if we didn't do that mindset work.
316
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,706
It's so important. So that's prong two of my
317
00:19:28,728 --> 00:19:32,162
approach. Prong three is
318
00:19:32,296 --> 00:19:36,054
their personal ADHD struggles. Now,
319
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:39,842
of course, people with ADHD generally have similar struggles,
320
00:19:39,906 --> 00:19:43,542
but for some time, management is
321
00:19:43,596 --> 00:19:47,254
harder than for others. Other clients have
322
00:19:47,292 --> 00:19:50,934
impulse control that they have to work on, especially when it comes
323
00:19:50,972 --> 00:19:54,714
to spending on their businesses. For a lot of my
324
00:19:54,752 --> 00:19:58,250
clients, it's focusing on the thing that they don't want to do in their business,
325
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,674
but they have to because it's just a part of running a business. And for
326
00:20:01,712 --> 00:20:05,294
99.9% of all of my clients, we have to work through
327
00:20:05,332 --> 00:20:09,102
shiny object syndrome. Shiny object syndrome shows up in
328
00:20:09,156 --> 00:20:12,682
how they want to market their work. They may get this wild
329
00:20:12,746 --> 00:20:16,478
hair idea that they should be on Instagram and then invest $2,000 a
330
00:20:16,484 --> 00:20:20,226
month on an Instagram specialist and then realize four months, and that's not where
331
00:20:20,248 --> 00:20:23,506
they should be. They may get an idea of a new program they want to
332
00:20:23,528 --> 00:20:27,222
launch, even though they just launched one program and one the month before
333
00:20:27,276 --> 00:20:30,854
and one the month before. Another ADHD struggle that most
334
00:20:30,892 --> 00:20:34,546
business owners encounter at some point, and I count myself among
335
00:20:34,578 --> 00:20:38,342
them, is rejection sensitivity disorder. And there's so
336
00:20:38,396 --> 00:20:41,914
much potential rejection when you're starting a business. It's not just
337
00:20:41,952 --> 00:20:45,674
rejection when you invite someone to be a client. It's rejection when you post something
338
00:20:45,712 --> 00:20:49,494
and no one likes it. It's rejection when you host a webinar
339
00:20:49,542 --> 00:20:53,206
and only three people sign up for it and only one attends. It's
340
00:20:53,238 --> 00:20:57,006
rejection when you submit your name to speak at an event and you never
341
00:20:57,028 --> 00:21:00,798
hear back from them. There's perceived rejection when you're out with a
342
00:21:00,804 --> 00:21:04,574
bunch of friends and no one asks you how your new business is
343
00:21:04,612 --> 00:21:08,306
going, and you assume that they think it's stupid and that you
344
00:21:08,328 --> 00:21:11,858
shouldn't be doing it, and you've made a massive mistake, even though
345
00:21:11,944 --> 00:21:15,534
they've just had too many drinks and didn't
346
00:21:15,582 --> 00:21:19,334
remember to ask. There's a different way for each person to
347
00:21:19,372 --> 00:21:22,806
work through each one of these struggles. Time management. There are
348
00:21:22,828 --> 00:21:26,434
strategies that work really well for me that will not work for another ADHD
349
00:21:26,482 --> 00:21:30,234
person. Shiny object syndrome is another one. There are things
350
00:21:30,272 --> 00:21:34,106
that will keep you on track that won't work for another one
351
00:21:34,128 --> 00:21:37,802
of my clients. And that's okay. Let's find what works
352
00:21:37,856 --> 00:21:41,414
for you. So we have to work on keeping them
353
00:21:41,552 --> 00:21:45,054
on the single road that leads to Rome, right. That one
354
00:21:45,172 --> 00:21:48,654
offer so that they don't confuse their audience. And a whole other
355
00:21:48,692 --> 00:21:52,526
smorgasbord of shiny object syndrome. Things that pop up
356
00:21:52,548 --> 00:21:53,780
in our day to day.
357
00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:59,730
And then finally, the fourth prong of my approach
358
00:22:00,070 --> 00:22:03,506
is I customize a plan that works for each individual
359
00:22:03,608 --> 00:22:06,454
client. I do this with my one on one clients, and I do this with.
360
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:10,214
My clients in my group programs. Because here's what
361
00:22:10,252 --> 00:22:13,320
those one size fits all programs don't do.
362
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:17,830
They don't teach you how to identify what your
363
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:21,302
big vision is for this business and how to reverse
364
00:22:21,366 --> 00:22:24,746
engineer it into what you need to be doing today
365
00:22:24,928 --> 00:22:28,634
and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after that, and the day
366
00:22:28,672 --> 00:22:32,470
after that. They don't break down that if you want to make a
367
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,046
certain amount of money in three years, here's what you need to be
368
00:22:36,068 --> 00:22:39,866
charging today to be able to reach that. They don't
369
00:22:39,898 --> 00:22:43,678
break down if you want to work a certain amount of hours
370
00:22:43,764 --> 00:22:47,554
per week. So, for instance, I don't want to work more than 30 hours
371
00:22:47,592 --> 00:22:51,262
a week. My strategy is going to be totally
372
00:22:51,326 --> 00:22:54,882
different from someone who wants to work 10 hours a week or
373
00:22:54,936 --> 00:22:58,542
40 hours a week. When I work with my clients, we're
374
00:22:58,606 --> 00:23:02,358
taking into account what their big goal is, all these other factors of how
375
00:23:02,364 --> 00:23:04,886
much money they want to make, how much time they want to spend in their
376
00:23:04,908 --> 00:23:08,566
business, how much time they want to spend with their family and on vacation, what
377
00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:11,786
they want to spend their time on while they're working in the
378
00:23:11,808 --> 00:23:15,558
business. And we're taking that. And so many other factors,
379
00:23:15,734 --> 00:23:19,434
like their strengths, their weaknesses, the things that they would
380
00:23:19,472 --> 00:23:22,860
rather get their eyes chewed out by an alligator than do.
381
00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:27,310
Which, as you can imagine, it wouldn't just be your eyes getting chewed out.
382
00:23:27,380 --> 00:23:30,558
Alligators have big mouths is what I'm saying. And your eyes are very, very small.
383
00:23:30,644 --> 00:23:33,700
I know I don't have to explain this, but it's kind of fun.
384
00:23:35,030 --> 00:23:38,366
I feel like Dr. Evil right now. Like, I want sharks with laser
385
00:23:38,398 --> 00:23:42,146
beams. I want alligators that
386
00:23:42,168 --> 00:23:45,140
can chew out eyeballs. What was my point again?
387
00:23:47,270 --> 00:23:50,982
Oh, yeah, that's right. There's stuff in your business that you really, really
388
00:23:51,036 --> 00:23:54,818
do not want to do. If you were to follow a one. Size fits
389
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:58,502
all business plan, that business. Plan might make you do that thing.
390
00:23:58,556 --> 00:24:02,166
Over and over and over again. I don't do that with my clients.
391
00:24:02,278 --> 00:24:06,054
If it's something that you feel completely miserable doing, what we're
392
00:24:06,102 --> 00:24:08,620
figuring out is how you can outsource it best.
393
00:24:10,050 --> 00:24:13,182
An element that runs throughout most of these
394
00:24:13,236 --> 00:24:16,398
prongs is what's going on in your personal
395
00:24:16,484 --> 00:24:20,030
life. As humans. We like saying that we're good
396
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,722
at. Compartmentalizing, and that's bullshit.
397
00:24:23,866 --> 00:24:27,218
We're not. Like, it's one of the most magical things about
398
00:24:27,304 --> 00:24:30,498
humans is how we do one thing is generally how we do everything
399
00:24:30,584 --> 00:24:33,300
else. I can't tell you
400
00:24:34,790 --> 00:24:38,534
how many times I've had a client tell me after we work
401
00:24:38,572 --> 00:24:41,830
on their relationship with money and get them a lot more
402
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:45,574
comfortable asking for the money that they want. That
403
00:24:45,612 --> 00:24:49,306
they kind of embarrassingly mention to. Me at the end of
404
00:24:49,328 --> 00:24:53,146
our sessions. Like, hey, something I'm noticing is that. Six is
405
00:24:53,168 --> 00:24:54,380
getting a lot better.
406
00:24:57,230 --> 00:25:00,918
Because. They'Re learning to ask for what they. Want in
407
00:25:00,944 --> 00:25:04,654
their money. It's not just staying there, they're getting.
408
00:25:04,692 --> 00:25:08,494
Better at asking for what they want in all other areas of their
409
00:25:08,532 --> 00:25:12,254
life. We suck at compartmentalizing. It does
410
00:25:12,292 --> 00:25:16,058
not work for us, and it's especially true for people with ADHD. So
411
00:25:16,084 --> 00:25:19,794
if you're struggling with something in your personal life, it's going to impact you
412
00:25:19,832 --> 00:25:23,474
in your business. They are interrelated. If you had a fight
413
00:25:23,512 --> 00:25:27,186
with your spouse, it's going to impact your whole day. If your
414
00:25:27,208 --> 00:25:30,230
water heater went out and you have to buy a new one. And it's super
415
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:33,480
expensive, that's going to. Cause stress in your business.
416
00:25:34,490 --> 00:25:37,866
It's so funny. When clients first start with me in the first few
417
00:25:37,888 --> 00:25:40,940
sessions, the first few group sessions, they
418
00:25:41,710 --> 00:25:45,418
very nervously usually ask, like, am I allowed to talk about a personal
419
00:25:45,504 --> 00:25:49,178
thing? And my answer is always,
420
00:25:49,264 --> 00:25:53,086
of course, because everything that's going on in your personal life is going to
421
00:25:53,108 --> 00:25:56,862
impact your business. And we're not designing a business that
422
00:25:56,996 --> 00:26:00,826
needs a robot of a human to be run. We're designing
423
00:26:00,858 --> 00:26:04,334
a business that can withstand a human who has
424
00:26:04,372 --> 00:26:08,098
emotions, who occasionally gets sick, who occasionally has a
425
00:26:08,104 --> 00:26:11,886
bad day, who occasionally is in executive dysfunction and knows
426
00:26:11,918 --> 00:26:14,578
all the things that they need to do, but can't seem to get themselves to
427
00:26:14,584 --> 00:26:17,942
do it. If we don't design your business to be able to
428
00:26:17,996 --> 00:26:21,734
withstand you running it, your business is not going to
429
00:26:21,772 --> 00:26:25,078
last long because you, my friend, are not a
430
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:28,806
robot. Some of the results that I'm most proud of, that my clients have
431
00:26:28,828 --> 00:26:32,586
achieved. My client, Lauren Lefkowitz, who started with
432
00:26:32,608 --> 00:26:36,394
me in January of 2021, she was able to leave
433
00:26:36,432 --> 00:26:40,134
her job five months after starting. She hit six figures
434
00:26:40,182 --> 00:26:43,934
in her first year, which is not typical. Like,
435
00:26:43,972 --> 00:26:47,406
if you're thinking you're going to hit six figures in your first year, I would
436
00:26:47,428 --> 00:26:51,114
caution you to be a little more conservative. Don't
437
00:26:51,162 --> 00:26:54,906
plan on it. But because we customized a
438
00:26:54,948 --> 00:26:58,738
strategy that would work specifically to her and her available time. In
439
00:26:58,744 --> 00:27:02,338
the beginning, when she was working her full time job and
440
00:27:02,504 --> 00:27:06,158
designed a program that she felt really proud of selling
441
00:27:06,254 --> 00:27:10,054
that worked for her and her ideal clients, she was able to
442
00:27:10,092 --> 00:27:13,702
accomplish that. My other client, Adam Kimmel, is another
443
00:27:13,756 --> 00:27:17,366
story that I'm really proud of. When he started with me, he was making 2000,
444
00:27:17,388 --> 00:27:21,114
$3,000 a month in his copywriting business. In about seven
445
00:27:21,152 --> 00:27:24,586
months, we were able to up that to $9,000 a
446
00:27:24,608 --> 00:27:28,010
month. We were also able to increase his
447
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,726
revenue for that year by about 50,000, give or
448
00:27:31,748 --> 00:27:34,430
take. And the following year, he made
449
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:37,982
$150,000, plus or minus some dollars
450
00:27:38,116 --> 00:27:41,886
from his copywriting business. His big goal with all this
451
00:27:42,068 --> 00:27:45,898
was to be able to retire his wife from the job that
452
00:27:45,924 --> 00:27:49,762
she hated. And he did all of this while also working a
453
00:27:49,816 --> 00:27:53,666
full time job. His goal was never to leave the full time job.
454
00:27:53,768 --> 00:27:57,602
So we were able to create a strategy that worked for him to
455
00:27:57,656 --> 00:28:01,382
build this business up to $150,000 a year while
456
00:28:01,436 --> 00:28:05,014
only working about 10 hours a week in his business, including doing
457
00:28:05,052 --> 00:28:08,902
client work. I have clients who work 40 hours a week and make six
458
00:28:08,956 --> 00:28:12,682
figures. I have clients who work half that and make six figures as well.
459
00:28:12,736 --> 00:28:16,490
But I certainly never had a coach like Katie before who was able
460
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,406
to add value on so many different prongs
461
00:28:20,438 --> 00:28:24,126
of my business. Katie's versatility is, I think, the
462
00:28:24,148 --> 00:28:27,360
difference maker that sets her apart from
463
00:28:27,730 --> 00:28:31,262
other coaches that are out there. There are people who can train you on sales,
464
00:28:31,396 --> 00:28:34,754
there are people who can help you with your mindset, there are people who
465
00:28:34,792 --> 00:28:38,370
can help you price a service
466
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,954
or a product. There are people who can help you with market research
467
00:28:42,152 --> 00:28:45,906
and can teach you about social media. And there are people who can
468
00:28:45,928 --> 00:28:49,478
help you with ADHD and can help you turn
469
00:28:49,644 --> 00:28:53,138
some of the typical challenges of ADHD
470
00:28:53,314 --> 00:28:56,854
into superpowers. But I don't think there's anyone who can do all of those
471
00:28:56,892 --> 00:29:00,506
things at the same time. When you're designing a business,
472
00:29:00,608 --> 00:29:04,266
you have to be very specific about what kind of life you want to
473
00:29:04,288 --> 00:29:07,946
have when it's full time because I
474
00:29:07,968 --> 00:29:11,118
can tell you there are a gazillion different ways to start a business and there
475
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:14,330
are a gazillion different ways to make that business super financially
476
00:29:14,410 --> 00:29:17,822
successful. However, if you're not
477
00:29:17,876 --> 00:29:21,710
intentional about the life you're going to have as you're building
478
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:25,326
it, guess what? You're not going to have that life. You're not going to trip
479
00:29:25,358 --> 00:29:28,674
and fall and land into your perfect schedule that
480
00:29:28,712 --> 00:29:32,514
optimizes your strengths and outsources the things that are super
481
00:29:32,552 --> 00:29:36,354
challenging to you. If you want to have your ideal business, you
482
00:29:36,392 --> 00:29:40,214
have to have a custom strategy that will help you get
483
00:29:40,252 --> 00:29:44,022
there and to wrap this up, that's the long story
484
00:29:44,076 --> 00:29:47,866
of what an ADHD business coach does. So to answer the
485
00:29:47,888 --> 00:29:51,434
original question, that is what I, an ADHD business
486
00:29:51,472 --> 00:29:52,970
coach, do for my clients.
487
00:29:59,390 --> 00:30:03,070
You. If you're starting a business and you're looking for support,
488
00:30:03,220 --> 00:30:06,894
you need to look for someone who can be dynamic in
489
00:30:06,932 --> 00:30:10,554
helping you overcome each one of these unique ADHD
490
00:30:10,602 --> 00:30:14,334
struggles. And because we have so many episodes on all of these
491
00:30:14,372 --> 00:30:17,890
topics that I've. Just touched on, we are including a. List
492
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,794

a business, if you're in the process of growing your business and you're
495
00:30:29,378 --> 00:30:32,854
feeling frustrated because the resources you've been turning to
496
00:30:32,972 --> 00:30:36,742
don't feel like a fit, or they frustrate you, or you've just
497
00:30:36,796 --> 00:30:40,042
given up on them completely to figure it out on your own and you're ready
498
00:30:40,096 --> 00:30:43,706

all cylinders, where we go from

00:31:12,136 --> 00:31:15,300
my relationship with my kids to
507
00:31:16,230 --> 00:31:20,040

operations, and then back to me

00:31:35,516 --> 00:31:39,014
forgetting the coffee on top of my car and driving off
513
00:31:39,132 --> 00:31:42,878

514
