Are you multi-passionate or could you potentially be a woman with ADHD? What is ADHD? How do I manage everything if I have ADHD? Can I actually have empowerment in business with ADHD? With the help of Patricia Sung from the Motherhood in ADHD podcast, we are going to dig into the mystery if you could potentially have ADHD and how to find empowerment in business.

Learn To Build Empowerment in Business as a Woman With ADHD

If you are a woman with ADHD, you may love so many things that it is hard to pick just one thing. However, when you get excited about something, you are all in. You can be all-in on four different things, but can you do four things well? Your brain will hyper-focus on things and jump right in and within 30 days you can become an expert on something that you did not know a few months ago. What an advantage this can be in business!

What is ADHD?

It stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
It is a neurological medical condition.
It is something that people are born with.
It is how God created you to be.
3-5% of people have been diagnosed but now that parents are learning about the symptoms from their kids being diagnosed, they are noticing that it all sounds familiar for them as well.
There is a 50-70% chance that if you have it, your kids will have it.

When most people think of ADHD, they think about a five-year-old kid that is bouncing off the walls, but it looks different for everyone. Because we can’t see how other people’s brains function, we don’t realize that our brain is doing something very different than everyone else’s.

What does it look like to be a woman with ADHD?

It affects our executive function.
The executive functioning is the conductor of your brain that is telling everything in your brain what to do.
Organizing is not one of your strong suits.
You will see it in your restlessness.
Most people notice it as fidgeting or someone jiggling their leg. But it is also restlessness in wanting something new, a new challenge.
The last 10% of finishing a project is a killer.
Some have learned the skill to be finishers, but it is like pulling teeth because your heart is already drawn to and excited about the next new project.

How you can find empowerment in business if you are a woman with ADHD

The first thing you need to do is learn about your brain. How does it specifically affect you? There are so many pieces of the puzzle that can feel overwhelming so just start learning. Once you figure out how it is affecting you, figure out how you can take care of yourself.

Ask for help! What is the support you need for you?
Where can you get help and support?

Society expects us to be able to do all the things as women, moms, and entrepreneurs. Nowhere else in life is anyone else expected to be so well rounded, except in grade school. So what can you do to keep yourself on track?

Empowerment in business comes from your why

Why are you working so hard to keep yourself on track?
Because you want to enjoy your life.
You want your kids to see a happy mom who isn’t stressed all the time, a mom that isn’t caught up in her own mind all the time that she is missing the beauty around her.

Your plan to find empowerment in business as a woman with ADHD

Get your foundations and basic commitments in order, and figure out your to-do list.
Figure out what you need to do to design the life you want to live, enjoy, and love. That is when you see the changes come through.
You can tackle any goal you want to tackle when you are getting all the little things that feel like a burden done.
Having a successful business doesn’t fulfill you enough if you are focusing on your house not being tidy enough or some other distraction on your to-do’s..

All the millions of jobs you do as a mom, laundry, meal planning, cleaning, it all has to get done whether you enjoy it or not. If you create a framework where there is structure to your day, all these things are accomplished like automation. The framework is what allows you to enjoy and see the beauty in your life.

Being a woman with ADHD does not have to slow you down! You can build empowerment in business by following these tips to create a framework that helps you to get everything accomplished, then you too can enjoy the beauty in life.

If this feels like you and staying organized is not your strong suit, don’t be disheartened! You can still start and run a successful business. I have a free business blueprint that’s a complete checklist of everything you need to do to get your business going. Follow the steps to help keep you on track and focused on your big goal!

I pray this blesses you!
