With ADHD in the mix, a scarcity mindset can hit even harder. Why?: Our ADHD brains can amplify feelings of anxiety, impulsivity, and urgency. If you’re always worried about not having enough, that can translate to impulsive spending (when you have money), avoidance of big opportunities, or holding back on investing in yourself or your business. You might feel like you can’t afford to spend on help, education, or tools that could actually propel you forward, which can keep you stuck in a frustrating loop of doing everything yourself and never quite hitting your potential.
Long-Term Habits for Better Credit
Improving your credit score is a long game, but the right habits make it much easier. Here are a few additional habits that can support a strong credit score over time:
Each step is designed to give you the stability and structure needed to manage your business finances without feeling overwhelmed. You don’t have to tackle everything at once—pick one step and make it part of your routine, then move on to the next. ADHD entrepreneurs can thrive financially; it just takes a bit of planning and consistency to get there.
Figure out how many hours you can work in a week or month and then use that to calculate how many clients you can take on or how many products you can create. And don’t forget to include an estimate for non-client tasks and admin work in your numbers too. Knowing this number will help you figure out how to price your services so you’re not working around the clock just to make ends meet.
From personal experience the level of clients you welcome into your business gets higher as your pricing aligns with the value and impact you have on those that you work with! It is so strange, but the number and level of clients I welcomed into my business have really demonstrated this to me!
Once you start understanding your finances, you’ll find that a lot of the fear and anxiety starts to fade (I know it seems too good to be true, but trust me, I see it all the time with my clients). You’ll feel more in control, more empowered, and more prepared to take on the challenges that come your way. And here's the kicker: when you're not subconsciously holding yourself back, you open the door to more opportunities and more income.
