In this episode, we’re exploring why so many ADHD Mums are drawn to entrepreneurship with Paula Maidens, a business consultant and a mum of two. Paula has been helping entrepreneurs build high-performing teams in her own business for over 14 years. Paula shares her personal experiences as an entrepreneur and a mum, offering practical advice on how ADHD entrepreneurs can thrive in business without burning out.

Key topics covered:

• Jane and Paula discuss why ADHD brains are so suited to entrepreneurship, from the creativity and fast-paced thinking to the desire for independence.
• Paula explains why clarity is critical for ADHD entrepreneurs and shares simple strategies to get clear on your goals and avoid overwhelm.
• Struggling to let go of tasks? Learn how to hire the right people, set clear expectations, and build a team that supports your vision without feeling like you have to do it all yourself.
• Paula opens up about her own journey as a mum of two and entrepreneur, sharing how she defines success and sets boundaries to maintain work-life balance. Jane adds her own experience about the impact of clear communication in business and home roles like cleaners. 
• ADHD entrepreneurs often have a constant stream of ideas. Paula talks about how to prioritise, handle multiple projects, and avoid burning out your team.
