🧠 “Entrepreneu-ADHD: How I Built a Business While My Brain Ran Marathons”

If you’ve got ADHD and you’re an entrepreneur, welcome to the circus—we’re the ringleaders, the clowns, the lion tamers, and sometimes the flaming hoop all at once.

Being a business owner sounds sexy until you realize your brain doesn’t come with an off switch. You’re up at 3AM building a new landing page in your head. You forgot to email a client back but designed a new logo for a product you haven’t launched. You finally organized your desk, but now you’re an hour late on invoices. Yeah—welcome to the duality of chasing freedom while wrestling chaos.

But here’s the thing: ADHD isn’t a curse. It’s a high-powered engine. You just gotta learn how to steer it.

I learned that the hard way.

When I first started out, I was trying to run my massage business, help my sons, juggle part-time training, and somehow not completely lose my mind. My focus wasn’t linear—it was like trying to walk a tightrope in a windstorm. But I had two choices: use my ADHD as an excuse or as a strategy.

So I started building systems. Not fancy ones—just ones that worked for my brain.

I time-blocked like my life depended on it. I started doing “brain dumps” every morning—no rules, just empty the chaos onto paper. I built routines I could repeat even when I was exhausted. And therapy? Lifesaver. Not because it “fixed” me—but because it helped me stop trying to be neurotypical.

ADHD makes you creative, adaptive, and insanely resilient when you lean into it instead of fighting it. Some days I still drop the ball—but I’ve also built something real, something that matters. And not despite my ADHD, but partly because of it.

If you're an entrepreneur with ADHD: you're not broken. You're just building in a different language.

Build anyway.
