Do you suffer from frustration intolerance? If you're an ADHD entrepreneur, you probably do.

In this episode we're talking all about this issue (which I have a different name for) and helping you get equipped so you know exactly how to handle it, and make more progress in your business.

Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.

And welcome to "The Weeniecast."

Frustration tolerance can have a massive influence on individuals with ADHD, and their ability to absorb coaching.

In the episode I emphasize the importance of managing emotional dysregulation, which is crucial for personal and professional progress.

You'll understand why this is a priority for tackling once you've heard the full episode but let's just say that this element of emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in shaping your learning behaviors and relationships as an ADHD entrepreneur.

Also, your childhood responses can play a part. These are learned and amplified by educational systems which favor ease over challenge, can sculpt an individual’s lifelong self-assessment and their tenacity when facing adversity.

I'm going to take you through some stories that showcase the necessity of frustration as a catalyst in the growth journey.

These stories are tailored to reinforce the notion that the process of learning inherently includes facing and overcoming difficulties.

The good news is, perseverance and adaptability are skills that can be honed, and they're not just innate characteristics.

Oh, and you'll definitely understand why Leonardo da Vinci offers a lot of learning for us ADHD entrepreneurs, when we study his approach to frustration intolerance.

Hey there, ADHD entrepreneurs! In this episode we're diving headfirst into the shady world of business gurus and their sneaky-ass marketing moves. Ew!

Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.

And welcome to "The Weeniecast."

Ever seen those ads promising you'll be swimming in cash faster than you can say "squirrel"?

Yeah, we're talking about those guys in this episode.

I'm gonna rip the curtain back on these so-called "business wizards" and their high-pressure sales crap, flashy promises of making you rich overnight, and their parade of cherry-picked testimonials.

It's like a freakin' circus out there, and we're gonna dissect it piece by piece.

We're also diving into the juicy stuff about the recent FTC ruling.

This is big news, folks!

BIG NEWS!

It's all about making sure these gurus can't just pull testimonials out of their asses, which is what they apparently have been doing.

If they say their program turns you into a business rockstar, they better have the cold, hard evidence to back it up.

And no, "My cousin Vinnie said it was great" doesn't count hahaha!

And let's chat about those video testimonials – are they real deal or just another trick up their sleeves?

Sidebar - we're gonna get real about impulsive decisions.

You know the drill – something shiny comes along promising the world, and suddenly your credit card is out.

I'm here to say, "Hold up, think it through!"

So, if you're feeling the itch to join a business program after a guru's spiel, take a breath.

We're gonna learn how to spot the B.S. and find the real McCoy in the business mentorship jungle.

I'm here to arm you with the smarts and sass to navigate through these murky waters.

Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe swear a little (because that's how we roll) as we explore the wild world of business coaching and mentorship.

Forgive me for being just a little excited about this one, but in today's frickin' awesome episode of The Weeniecast, I'm sharing what it is that I do as an ADHD business coach.

And because there aren't that many of us around, I get to feel quite special!

Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.

And welcome to "The Weeniecast."

Let me tell you, as someone who's deep in the trenches of the ADHD business scene, I've always known the regular, boring-as-hell methods just don't cut it for us entrepreneurs who've sometimes got brains buzzing like a hive of hyperactive bees.

This episode was all about tearing apart why those one-size-fits-all business plans are a big fat nope for us folks who struggle with impulse control and can't seem to stay focused if our lives depended on it.

I've watched way too many brilliant ADHD peeps get totally bummed out by stiff structures and strategies that might as well be straightjackets.

We're talking about battling the whole shebang - from the hell of time management to chasing every shiny thing that catches our eye.

Personalization isn't just some nice-to-have; it's freakin' essential for us ADHD entrepreneurs.

Screw trying to squish our brains into neurotypical boxes!

We need custom strategies – ones that weave the wild tapestries of our lives right into our business models.

We gotta look at the big picture – our income goals, our dream lifestyles, our sporadic strokes of genius, and yeah, the faceplants we're bound to take – to create a business environment where we can thrive and be our vibrant, zany selves.

I'll be talking through my process and sharing some kick-ass stories of clients who didn't just hit their goals; they blew them out of the water, finding financial success while juggling the ADHD chaos.

These aren't just wins; they're blazing a trail for the rest of our community.

I'm all about getting quick, tangible results – that sweet, sweet 'dopamine drip' that keeps us going.

We also get into the nitty-gritty, like tackling our special brand of 'screw you' frustration and flipping rejection on its head to make us feel like unstoppable badasses.

Have a listen and learn why I'm here to help every single client carve out their path, one that doesn’t just spell success but resonates with the crazy, beautiful complexity of an ADHD brain.

In the latest episode of The Weeniecast, I delve into the common misconception of "New Year, New You," debunking the notion that the turning of the calendar will inherently bring about personal change.

Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.

And I'm here to explore the pitfalls of conventional New Year’s resolutions and emphasize the necessity of creating tangible, lasting changes to facilitate goal attainment.

I discuss the value of setting a word or intention for the year and stress the need for physical representations and consistent reminders to maintain focus.

As I share personal experiences and insights, I highlight the significance of making structural changes in one's life to accommodate personal aspirations. From the impact of sleep on mental health and productivity to the importance of seeking guidance when venturing into uncharted territory, I encourage listeners to prioritize rest and learn from experts to achieve ambitious objectives. Setting intentions and making room for new pursuits in one's schedule are key to realizing our goals.

Advising against goal-setting centered solely on results, I draw from examples like Jim Carrey to underscore the importance of aligning goals with actionable steps. Emphasizing the need for flexibility and adaptability in goal pursuit, I share insights on how to approach goals within the framework of attainable actions. I urge individuals to commit to making time and energy available for achieving their goals while seeking professional support when necessary.

Hello and welcome to a special edition of Freight Up, the go-to podcast for the latest buzz in the commodities and freight markets from FIS.

I'm your host, Fernanda, and boy, do we have a jam-packed episode lined up for you this week. And it's just as well because this is our last episode of 2023!

We've got Joshua Stern, Archie Smith, Hao Pei, George Huston, and of course, John Banaszkiewicz, centre stage to dissect the fluctuations that are setting the tone for both 2023 and the predictions that 2024 holds.

But it's not all charts and numbers; we'll touch upon the more personal side of our guests as they share their humanitarian efforts, their holiday cheer, and, yes, their plans for their four-legged friends during the festive season. Love going straight out to the Smith family doggos!

With the masterful breakdowns from our commodity connoisseurs, we're looking at market drivers like freight, iron ore, and the growth of the battery metals market with us lot at FIS setting the pace.

We're also zooming into the futures of Supermax, Cape, and more with eye-opening contract period interests that have surged before we all turn our calendars.

George Houston's ground-breaking venture into the fertiliser options market and Hao Pei's prediction on iron ore prices serve as testaments to the innovation and foresight pulsing through the veins of this industry.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Weeniecast, where we simplify the world of ADHD entrepreneurship and business strategy. Hi! I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach.

This week, I'd like to share a story about my high school graduation and the school janitor who made a lasting impact.

I just want to name the importance of creating genuine human connections in your content to attract ideal clients.

I'm gonna say it - relying on AI-generated content from your ChatGPT prompts may not be as effective as you think.

I'm here to reveal the key to empathetic marketing and the value of building meaningful connections in business.

Listen in to this episode for practical insights and memorable anecdotes that can transform the way you approach content creation and client engagement.

There's a reason I open this episode with a personal anecdote about my high school graduation speaker.

I want to illustrate the importance of making genuine human connections in attracting ideal clients.

We didn't ask any of the teachers to speak to us.

We asked the janitor.

Why?

Well, I get into that in the episode.

Suffice to say right now, the reason is the same less that I hope teaches you the impact of authentic, empathetic marketing in creating content that resonates with your audience of ideal clients.

AI-generated content is obvious. And it's bad news if you're looking building connections with those dream clients, especially for entrepreneurs with ADHD.

As well as telling the story about why my teachers didn't speak at my graduation, I'm also going to share my story about the young mom, her daughter, and two old men who met at the park.

If you're planning on hopping on to ChatGPT today to create your social media content for the next week, stop everything and listen to this first, I urge you.

Because it might just be the decision that leads to a change for the better in your entrepreneurial journey.
