How Rejection Sensitivity Holds ADHD Entrepreneurs Back [Ep 326]
The Missing Piece was designed specifically for those with ADHD. If you are in a season of "stuck" and ready to break through it. 12 weeks of support for only $600! Check it out today!
_________________________________________________________
For ADHD entrepreneurs, rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) can quietly sabotage your business. It’s not laziness, it’s the way your brain processes rejection. Even perceived rejection (like no response to a DM) can feel like a gut punch, leading to over-delivering, procrastinating, or quitting too soon.
Whether you’re a coach, consultant, copywriter, designer, VA, or service provider navigating ADHD, this episode will help you understand RSD and build workarounds that keep your business moving.
You’ll learn:
- What RSD is and why it affects nearly every ADHD entrepreneur
- How it shows up in business (avoiding follow-up, over-delivering, delaying launches)
- The stories RSD creates that keep you stuck
- Practical workarounds to neutralize rejection and keep going
This is the real truth about growth, especially for neurodivergent service providers who need strategies that work with their brains, not against them.
