ADHD ENTREPRENEURS: If you’re waiting for the perfect time, the perfect plan, or the perfect energy to start… this episode is for you.

You tell yourself, “I’ll start when I feel ready” or “I just need to learn a little more first.”


But the truth? Waiting isn’t safer—it’s what’s keeping you stuck.


ADHD entrepreneurs tend to overthink, overconsume, and avoid action because taking risks feels uncomfortable. But the longer you wait, the harder it gets to start.

In this episode, I break down:
✅ Why waiting for motivation is keeping you broke
✅ How to stop overthinking and take fast, imperfect action
✅ The ADHD action plan to move forward today, not someday

If you’re tired of watching others pass you by and feeling like you’re always one step away from success… this is your wake-up call.
