Now that's sorted...

I'm gonna tell you something surprising about ADHD business owners—it's not what you think.

Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and welcome to The Weeniecast.

This topic might hit home for you: the rule of thirds, and why being bad at stuff is something we, ADHD business owners, are notoriously terrible at.

And it's a much bigger deal than you might realize.

So stick around, because I'm going to break this down and give you practical advice on how to tackle this head-on, transforming your business along the way.

Let me give you a little teaser of what's in store.

First off, we'll explore why ADHD folks tend to give up at the first sign of failure.

Trust me, it comes from a deeper place than just a lack of patience.

We'll also talk about how our brains are wired to only hyperfocus on things we're naturally interested in, which makes us super talented right off the bat in those areas.

But here's the kicker - when it comes to running a business, there's a mountain of skills you need that you probably don't have that natural inclination for and that can throw you for a loop.

From copywriting to sales to accounting, these aren't exactly your dopamine-packed playgrounds, right?

But don't worry, there's hope.

• What ADHD business owners often struggle with that leads to frustration.
• What is the 'rule of thirds'?
• Why you need to consider hiring help.
• Impact on neurodivergent individuals.
• How to build resilience for personal and business growth with ADHD.
• How to avoid the pitfalls many business owners face.

When I worked at Cisco Systems, a conversation with HR revealed that companies often spend between $30,000 to $40,000 a day just to bring in specialists for their teams.

You might think that's insane, but when you realize the work and networking that goes into landing these corporate contracts, it starts to make sense.

Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and in this episode of "The Weeniecast", I'm sharing three secrets you need to know to start winning corporate clients.

Trust me, this is practically a free $20,000 tip, because once you nail these points, you'll be well on your way to securing high-value contracts.

Imagine you're at the grocery store.

You're picking out some oranges, looking at cucumbers across the way, and a stranger comes up and pitches a $4,000 website build.

How likely are you to pull out your wallet? Probably not at all.

They have zero credibility with you.

I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and I want to help you avoid being the online version of that off-putting stranger.

In this episode of The Weeniecast, "Build Trust with Ideal Clients & Create 'Superfans,'" I'll guide you through the process of turning total strangers into devoted superfans.

You'll discover why sharing weird and seemingly mundane details about yourself is critical in building trust and memorability with your ideal clients.

You'll walk away from this episode understanding how to create a connection with your audience that goes beyond business.

No more blending in with the crowd and being 'just another expert' in your industry.

You'll feel empowered to be authentically you online, making your business not just memorable, but magnetic to your tribe.
