Feeling scattered? This could explain it.

Feeling scattered? This could explain it.

As business owners we talk a lot about getting caught up in the whirlwind of daily demands.

And the chaos that engulfs us!

But what is there’s more to this than just a packed schedule or needing better business skills?

Have you ever wondered why some people build phenomenal agencies, work normal hours, and glide through the day with ease?

Sure, a lot of it boils down to down to systems, delegation, the right tech, leadership skills etc….

 

But could it also be something deeper?

-          Now I’m not a doctor, but every second recruitment agency owners I speak to seems to tell me they have ADHD!

 

Could there be something to pay attention to here?

-          Did you know that 2.5% of the population have ADHD? So clearly, we all know a few.

 

Many accomplished entrepreneurs, musicians, Nobel prize laureates are among them.

Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan, Walt Disney, Mozart, John Lennon – all people with unique minds who channelled their energy towards remarkable lives.

Interestingly, the allure of running your own business sure satisfies the high octane, interest-based nervous system of somebody with ADHD!

Just yesterday I took a few online ADHD tests for fun.

 

No surprise, landed right in the “red zone”.

For years I felt the struggles with many of the below traits of ADHD but thought it was “just me”.

Oh!, when I read this list – I had to tick a few; quite a few.

  • Lack of focus
  • Inattention
  • Hyperactivity
  • Impulsivity
  • Mood Swings and emotional dysregulation
  • Fidgeting or restlessness
  • Poor time management and time “blindness”
  • Forgetfulness and poor working memory

 

I realised, the trouble focussing, (in particular), drove me to build structures in my life so I could operate at a high level.  

Maybe it’s why I’m so passionate about helping others do the same, because I know how hard it can be.

I don’t know.

However, if this is resonating, maybe it’s something to explore further so you can look at creating a more smooth-running modus operandi and enjoy life more.
