Firstly, congratulations!
Secondly, here are our five best ADHD entrepreneur tips to make sure you get your business off to the best start possible! Keep scrolling to find out more!
Accountability
When it comes to the best ADHD entrepreneur tips, it really doesn’t get much better than accountability.
Having somebody to keep me accountable changed my entire business…and life!
When I hired a virtual assistant, it meant that I had somebody to help keep me on track with my goals and motivate me to do tasks that I was procrastinating on.

Body Doubling
Next on this list of ADHD entrepreneur tips is body doubling!
Body doubling is a method that we teach to all of our ADHD-trained virtual assistants because this technique is so valuable.
This is the act of mirroring somebody else’s behaviour. To do this, you can hop on a Zoom call with your virtual assistant or meet them in person.
This technique is best used when you are struggling with procrastination or you have an urgent task that needs to get done.
Focus on What You Love
One of the best things about being an ADHD entrepreneur is that you get to focus on what you love!
However, as your business grows, you may find yourself falling out of love with your business because you have to focus on so many things that aren’t your main passion.
That is why it’s so important to start outsourcing tasks! By doing so, you free up more time to work on the business, not in it!
Regularly Set New Goals
One thing about ADHD is that we can sometimes struggle to self-motivate ourselves and we can always be thinking about the next big thing (thanks, shiny object syndrome).
Therefore by setting regular, realistic goals, each time we achieve a goal, we get a dopamine hit which in turn motivates us to hit the next goal.
Know That You Can’t Give 100% Everyday
Finally on this list of ADHD entrepreneur tips and arguably, the most important is that you will not be able to give 100% percent every day.
As a business owner, you can often feel that the pressure is all on you and at times, it can be difficult to deal with.
Recognise that some days you’ll feel far more motivated than others and that's okay. Learn to go with the flow!
