Now, back to this episode...
How do you beaver up your business?
I was scrolling through my social media feed the other day when I stumbled upon the most peculiar video: a beaver diligently collecting household items to create a dam inside someone's bathtub.
It struck me how instinctual it is for these creatures to obstruct the natural flow of water—and then I realized, isn't that what we often do in our own businesses?
I’ve now coined the term: "beavering your business as a result of this lesson I've learned."
Often, ADHD entrepreneurs unconsciously create energy blocks that prevent success, clients, and money from flowing naturally.
How do we create dams in our own success?
It's all about the stories we tell ourselves—stories about our ADHD, our relationship with money, or our skill sets.
Instead of treating these as minor hurdles to overcome, we magnify them into insurmountable obstacles.
For instance, constantly blaming ADHD for our challenges not only limits our actions but also keeps us in a perpetual state of powerlessness.
We even use our "bad relationship with money" as a convenient excuse to avoid asking for the compensation we deserve.
By acknowledging and tackling these stories head-on, you’ll learn how to redirect that blocking energy into something more constructive.
After listening to this episode, you'll gain valuable insights into recognizing and dismantling the barriers you've been unknowingly placing in your own path.
We’ll cover practical strategies for transforming your mindset around ADHD and money, empowering you to step into a position of control and opportunity.
You'll be better at identifying the sabotaging narratives you tell yourself, and more equipped to make decisions from a place of strength rather than weakness.
Whether it's overcoming your fear of failure, rejection, or just breaking a long-held belief that you “can't” succeed because of your ADHD, this episode will arm you with the tools to stop being a weenie and start running a successful, profitable business.
