What I Wish I Had Known When I Started My Business... πŸ€”

You know that saying, "if it was easy, everyone would do it?"

I never thought running a business would be easy.

Alexis from TV show Schitts Creek is sitting on a bed.  Caption reads "Thank God you're here because I have so many questions"
 

But I wish I had known that starting a business would mean I would have to be ok with not knowing how something was going to turn out and just go for it. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I also figured out pretty early on that even though I "get" technology, it's not always my best friend. That's why my virtual assistant, Julie, is my right-hand help when it comes to all things techy. πŸ€—

For the longest time, I thought there was only one way, "the" way to run a successful business. I mean, that's what all the biz gurus were saying. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

It's funny how some of these same things are what trip us up with our ADHD.

How many times have you been paralyzed by perfection so you don't start on a task?

Are you still trying to do something the neurotypical way because everyone says it "should be easy?"

Did you know not all ADHD presents itself in the same way? A strategy may work for one ADHDer but may not for someone else. There's no one size fits all...for ADHD or business.

I'm glad I learned the best way to help women who have recently been diagnosed with ADHD or live with ADHD-like symptoms build their emergency fund: with accountability, consistency, and by trying differently not harder.

What are you waiting for? Are you ready to build your $1K, $5K, or $10K emergency fund?

Let's do this!

Love, πŸ€—πŸ’ž
