ADHD-ish™ ADHD Business Strategy for Busy Brains

Whether you're a solopreneur or small business owner, we all tend to have a neverending to-do list that can leave us feeling overworked and overwhelmed.

In this episode, I highlight the necessity of being aware of one's limitations and prioritizing high-quality tasks, especially as a creative problem solver. 

I also cover the importance of integrating novelty into business strategies without disrupting oneself and understanding one's motivations and genuine capabilities. It’s time to let go of tasks that do not contribute to meaningful progress and cut your to-do list in half while staying aligned with your core values. 

Here's what you will hear:

💡 Discover the true drivers behind your actions and avoid burnout 🚫

💥 Learn how to make decisions that truly move your business forward. 📈

🌟 Leverage the power of aligning your core values with your business decisions 

🔑 Assess your energetic bandwidth to create priorities and boundaries. ⏰

🗝️ Let go of tasks that don't contribute to your success & say YES to what truly matters.

On this episode of The Driven Woman Entrepreneur Podcast, we dive deep into the value of membership models for business owners who have reached capacity with one-on-one work or want to scale and don’t want to run a group coaching program.

Our guest, Lisa Princic, shares her insights into the flexibility of membership programs, which she has been specializing in helping coaches and consultants launch and grow for several years. We also discuss the key pillars for a successful membership program, including mentorship, education, and community, and how to align these with your pricing and value offerings.  

Lisa and I are both analytical and didn’t hold anything back in this discussion, including talking about potential pitfalls and considerations when choosing a membership model, as not all models work for every business or audience. They delve into specifics like who the membership model is suited for, pricing, and promotion, but first, they discuss the speaker's journeys in choosing a membership model for their business.  We even talk about why some popular membership programs ended up closing and why. 

During our conversation, I share some of the misconceptions I had about the membership model and how learning from Lisa helped me to see the value in the different types of membership structures that can appeal to different people. Tune in for a thoughtful and informative discussion on how to create a membership program that aligns with your values and unique abilities, while delivering scalable value to your clients.  

Bonus: To hear me get coached by Lisa on whether I should consider adding a membership to my business, check out our interview on Lisa’s podcast,  Scaling Deep by clicking here:  https://apple.co/45IU1Wj

Lisa Princic is a business owner with a passion for growth and human development. She believes that humans are naturally driven to push themselves and make a greater impact, while still maintaining their values and connections to others. Lisa's podcast and business are both named "scaling deep" as a nod to the balance between personal growth and staying true to oneself, which has been well-received by those who appreciate a more relational approach to business.

On this episode of The Driven Woman Entrepreneur Podcast, just in time for Independence Day here in the US, I wanted to share my thoughts with you on the subject of social media sabbaticals and why you might want to consider one this summer. 

Declaring your independence from social media can be a very effective way to gain clarity on your relationship with these platforms, reassess the value of your current social marketing strategy and help prevent burnout. 

By guiding listeners through a series of insightful questions, sharing the perspectives of other notable coaches and consultants and introducing a variety of options to customize a social media sabbatical to your goals,  this episode is full of actionable advice.

In emphasizing the importance of mental health and healthy boundaries, and reminding them of the need to treat their sabbatical like an experiment, I encourage listeners to consider the prospect of taking a break from social media that in order to focus on other important aspects of their business, self care, relationships and personal growth.  

Whether it is a one month break from all social platforms or a six month break from one platform that has become draining, straining, depleting, defeating or simply unsustainable, figuring out whether your investment of time, energy, effort and attention is worth the outcome or whether that energy might be better spent elsewhere. 

I am not the first or the only business coach or consultant to suggest that a social media sabbatical might bring multiple benefits to your business and life. 

During this episode, I  share how three of the women in my network and talking about creating more balance around their relationship with social media and how they are helping others do the same.  Mentioned in this episode are: 

• Andrea Jones: https://onlinedrea.com/
• Meg Casebolt: https://loveatfirstsearch.com/
• Nicole Kalil: https://bit.ly/46lRba9

As entrepreneurs, overcoming self-sabotaging behaviors is crucial to finding success in business. These behaviors can manifest in various ways, such as accepting too many commitments, avoiding creating systems and structures, or not taking responsibility for one's decisions. By recognizing and addressing these behaviors, entrepreneurs can improve their chances of achieving success and reaching their full potential. 

While everyone engages in self-sabotage at some point, being proactive in addressing these behaviors can facilitate personal and business growth. In this episode, in my typical No-BS style, I encourage you to be okay with stepping out of your comfort zones and to define your own benchmarks for success, instead of comparing yourself to others in your industry. 

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Discover the secrets to conquering self-sabotaging habits and transforming your entrepreneurial journey.
• Unlock the power to manage fear effectively and break free from the chains of self-sabotage.
• Learn the crucial role self-care plays in pushing your business to new heights.
• Master the art of organizing your time and tasks to ward off sneaky self-sabotaging traps.
• Dive into how invaluable mentorship and coaching can be for entrepreneurs to sidestep self-sabotage.

Beware of Summer Sabotage

During the summer months, entrepreneurs are faced with many distractions and might think they can just ignore their business and catch up in the fall. This can lead to a potential self-sabotaging trap unless a summer slowdown or sabbatical is built into their business plan. 

I decided to create the Boss Up Bootcamp summer coaching program designed to help entrepreneurs stay on track during the summer months. This program offers shorter engagements for those looking for support and guidance to keep moving their businesses forward during the summer season, by focusing on specific areas of their business that are being neglected and are holding them back. 

The Boss Up Bootcamp summer program has several options, from a VIP Day to a 4-week intensive.  The best part is that we identify the specific areas of your business that need to be updated, refreshed, or totally redesigned and get to work. The goal is not just to knock things off your To-Do List, but to rev up your engine for Q3 + Q4 so you finish the year strong.  Click here to take a look at the available options: https://bit.ly/43XxovI

Ever felt like you don’t know what to write to your email subscribers, or don’t even know why you have a list, to begin with?  If you find yourself spinning in circles trying to figure out how often to email your list, what to include in your emails, and what metrics to measure, you are not alone.

Most of the mass-marketed advice we have been subjected to is meant for course creators and coaches who build their list with Facebook ads, a 2% conversion rate, and plenty of unsubscribers just looking for the latest freebie, what are the standards for experts and thought leaders?   

Enter Bev Feldman, Your Personal Tech Fairy.  Bev is a seasoned email marketing strategist whose expertise in email automation and relationship building has made her a sought-after resource for experts and consultants looking to improve their email marketing game.

In this episode, Bev & I dig into:

• Focusing on an engaged email list instead of just amassing huge numbers.
• Personalizing email marketing based on the business model and individual persona.
• Selecting the email marketing platform suited to your enterprise needs.
• Engaging expert assistance in navigating complex email marketing systems.
• Establish lasting connections with clients through shared values and transparency.

The key to a successful email strategy lies in understanding your audience's requirements and tailoring your messaging accordingly.  During the interview, Bev mentioned our mutual mentor, Dr. Michelle Mazur,  who believes if you have a high-ticket, high-touch program with a handful of clients a year, you can probably just email your people quarterly and spend your time on other networking and relationship-building activities.

Have you been told that clear communication is the key to improving client results, but are still struggling with client expectations? Don’t know why some clients become raving fans and others are never satisfied with your work? 

Discover the secrets to clear  communication, effective decision-making, well-defined scope of work, and goodbye to the frustration of unmet expectations and hello to a thriving partnership with your clients.

By discussing the scope of work, boundaries, and communication preferences, business owners can avoid misunderstandings that could lead to disappointment or negatively impact the client relationship.

I strongly recommend establishing these expectations upfront to ensure that clients and business owners are aligned and understand their respective roles and responsibilities. But, I will also teach you how to assess a prospective client’s decision making style before you begin, insuring a better outcoming and eliminating unpleasant surprises altogether.  

During the episode, I shares my insights on the importance of being explicit about what services will be provided and how these services can help clients achieve their goals. For consultants and coaches, being transparent about the limitations of their expertise is also essential, as it ensures clients have an accurate understanding of the services they provide, the outcomes they can expect, and the level of responsibility consultants hold for their results.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Enhance your expertise in managing client expectations with strategic communication.
• Uncover compatible decision-making methods, supported by tailored guidance.
• Develop and negotiate unambiguous work scopes to protect clear-cut boundaries.
• Break free from wishful thinking by asking the most important questions upfront.
• Employ screening techniques to attain mutual satisfaction in client partnerships.
• Decide on guarantees, refunds or even terminate a client agreement with certainty

Expertise is often undervalued in today's online culture, especially when the coaching industry deems anyone an expert who is "two steps ahead" of their client, but Dr. Michelle Mazur is determined to change that. With a Ph.D. in communication, and a brilliant framework called "The Three Word Rebellion", author, speaker, podcaster, and messaging consultant, Michelle Mazur has a lot to say about expertise, the anti-expert bias that is flooding the internet with cookie-cutter programs, short-sighted advice and leaving people feeling duped. 

If you are a legitimate expert, chances are you think you suck at marketing and don't know how to stand out from the crowd without feeling like a sleazeball about how to help clients who value what you have to offer to find you and hire you. So, Michelle and I are here to break it down, like this: 

• The importance of owning your expertise in your messaging and marketing.
• The rewards and benefits of working with experts to create tailor-made solutions.
• Face the marketing challenges experienced by experts and skilled professionals.
• Streamline your marketing efforts by doing more with less.
• Accelerate your success by forging alliances with fellow experts

Meet Dr. Michelle Mazur

Say hello to Michelle Mazur, an accomplished expert in marketing and messaging for entrepreneurs. With a keen understanding of how to navigate the complex online world, Michelle has dedicated her career to empowering business owners to market their expertise effectively. She's also the founder of the Expert Up Club, a supportive community that encourages experts to embrace and showcase their skills and because I was already a fan, I jumped at the chance to become one of the club's founding members.

If you remember one thing from this episode make it this: 

Gaining confidence and a sense of control when it comes to owning and marketing one's expertise can be challenging for many entrepreneurs, especially when they face insecurities and potential backlash from the anti-expert community. This ownership should not be confused with arrogance, but rather an opportunity to showcase unique skills and knowledge. During the interview, Michelle pointed out that claiming one's expertise is an identity issue. Many individuals struggle with accepting and truly embracing their expertise, even when they have amassed years of experience and impressive credentials. Taking pride in being an expert allows entrepreneurs to focus on their clients while building a solid foundation for marketing.

From a licensed psychotherapist turned business coach perspective, the link between mental health and entrepreneurship seemed clear, but during Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to focus on the unique challenges female solopreneurs face.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Mental health trials faced by entrepreneurs, with a focus on female leaders.
• Factors associated with mental health challenges in the entrepreneurial realm.
• The value of self-care, nurturing relationships, and professional help
• Stress factors emerging from running enterprises in male-centric industries.
• Putting mental health first and being open to seeking assistance when in need.

Prioritizing Mental Health

Entrepreneurs that focus on self-awareness and self-acceptance to better understand their mental health needs can identify the warning signs of declining mental health and take appropriate preventive measures.

Mental Health and Entrepreneurship

The high-stress lifestyle that often accompanies entrepreneurship can take a toll on one's mental well-being. Acknowledging the potential issues and taking preventive measures to ensure mental health remains strong can be key to overall success in business. 

There is no "Good Time" to Prioritize Mental Health

Mental health deserves ongoing focus and attention, and there is no "good time" to start prioritizing it. Waiting for an opportune moment or certain revenue milestone may lead to dangerous delays or neglect of mental well-being, resulting in a mental health crisis.

Next steps after listening to this episode:

• Reach out for help: If you are struggling with your mental health, do not hesitate to seek help from a licensed therapist or mental health professional.
• Take breaks: It is important to prioritize self-care and take breaks from work. Schedule time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as exercise, hobbies, or spending time with loved ones.
• Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal time. Create a schedule and stick to it, and communicate your availability to clients or colleagues. This will help you avoid burnout and improve your overall mental health.
• Connect with others: Combat isolation by connecting with other entrepreneurs or business owners in your industry or community. Join networking groups or attend events to build relationships and find support.
• Utilize resources: Take advantage of resources specifically designed for entrepreneurs, such as business coaches, mentorship programs, or online communities

It's time to delve into the fascinating and often maddening topics of ambition shaming, gender bias, tall poppy syndrome, and the challenges faced in promoting equity and inclusion in both male and female-dominated industries.

Meet today's guest, Lisa Mulligan, who brings a wealth of experience and a global perspective working in the UK, Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand. Lisa is the founder of The Culture Ministry and host of the "A Dog Called Diversity" podcast.

In this episode, you will:

• Learn more about the hurdles faced by women in male-centric business sectors.
• Examine the effectiveness of diversity and inclusion endeavors in workplaces.
• Understand the far-reaching impact of the pandemic on diversity initiatives.
• Recognize obstacles groups encounter when rejoining the workforce 
• Identify the significance of diversity and inclusive environments in organizations.

So What is Tall Poppy Syndrome, exactly?

Tall Poppy Syndrome is a pervasive cultural phenomenon where ambitious individuals are targeted and their successes are belittled due to resentment, envy, or fear. Women, especially those who are highly ambitious and driven, are often victims of this syndrome. Addressing this issue is important for achieving true equality and balance in the workforce. In this interview, Lisa & I discuss ambition envy and the role that privilege plays in undermining the achievements and potential of capable women.

Mic Drop Moment: 

"If we don't have people that are ambitious, if we don't have people that see things differently if we don't have people that stand out instead of fitting in, where's the progress supposed to come from?" Diann Wingert
