A clear plan can also lead to increased revenue in your business because we can often hold ourselves back income-wise when we don’t have confidence in how we are managing our money!
Our brains are wired to chase new ideas and excitement, making it tough to stay on top of routine tasks like budgeting and saving. But don't worry—I've got you covered with some practical financial management hacks that will make the process a lot less overwhelming and maybe even (dare I say) a bit enjoyable.
Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room: can we create routines as ADHD entrepreneurs? Or are we setting ourselves up for failure by setting the expectation that we need to have a rigid routine? I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. I can’t think of a catchy name for it right now, so for now, let’s call it routine-ish! 😆 Having a rough outline of a routine but allowing ourselves flexibility is where I find the sweet spot. So how can you find yours?
Procrastination comes in many different versions with ADHD, but they all tend to have the same outcome. Either we miss a deadline or due date, or we stress ourselves out to bend over backwards to still get the thing done in time despite all the procrastination. So, if you are procrastinating because the task isn’t urgent enough yet, you really hate it, or you’re current hyper-focus is pulling you away, I’ve got a list of things you can try to help you move out of procrastination mode!
Getting stuck in distraction mode can happen for a variety of reasons. For me, currently, I’ve been sitting for too long and playing post-vacation catch-up, so as soon as I’m done with this, I’m rewarding myself with a chapter or two of my current book. So there’s my first tip, wrapped up in what I’m applying personally!
What can we do to help keep ourselves moving forward in our businesses and lives? There is no magic bullet, but I’m here to share some things that help me grow my financial coaching business and help my fellow ADHD entrepreneurs gain confidence with their business and personal finances! 🤑
