FINDING YOUR FLOW:
best business practices for your ADHD brain
You have so many ideas.
Maybe you’ve even picked one (finally) to run with. You went ahead and bought that course or that program that was gonna be THE thing to help you actually launch this puppy. Then it never happened.
And you think to yourself, classic.
Let me know if these are a little too on the nose ...
- "If I see buy one more 90-day launch blueprint, I’m gonna hurl probably buy another one cause ya girl is a sucker and loves to spend and what if this one is THE one?!"
- “If I never buy another planner, it’ll be too soon. The pile I already have makes a good bedside table though (ooooh! New hobby-turned-side-hustle idea brewing!)”
- “Do the same thing every. single. day? Sounds about as fun as a 13-year-old me waiting for that dial up to finally go through (so I could hit those AOL chatrooms) … WOOF!”
- “Reach out to people on the internet? In this post-I-can-see-them-coming-from-a-mile-away-Hey-Huns-world? Do I look like I want people to hate me? No thank yew.”
- “If I finally finish … well, anything, lol … I’ll finally be successful, YAY! (Except, I suck at following through, so basically I’ll never be successful, yayyyy.) If only someone would tell me how the fuck to finish ANYTHING!!”
Everything in your body tells you that you don’t want to do business the way everyone says to, but you don’t know what else to do. You can’t keep trying all the things, cause it just ain’t working.
Here's the thing
You are probably sick and tired of trying all of the typical business advice, because it never works (or it never works for long).
But the problem isn't you (promise!) ... it's that you've been following advice that is not designed with your ADHD brain in mind.
Imagine running your business in a way where you can be yourself and let your ADHD run wild.
Enter: Finding Your Flow
Finding Your Flow helps big-hearted ADHD humans run their online business in a way that works with their brain, instead of against it.
In this 90-minute pre-recorded online class, you'll learn how 5 very common business practices don't work well for our ADHD brains ... and what to try instead!
The 5 common business practices covered:
- 90-day launch planning
- Inviting folks to your business
- Consistency
- Using systems
- Following through
After the class, you'll feel:
- Relief knowing the problem was the advice you've been getting all this time wasn’t meant for you
- Empowered with knowledge of how the ADHD brain actually works
- Excited to try out the various suggestions
And you'll be walking away with:
- New strategies for your brain when it comes to running a business
- Tangible ideas and tools to use
Some major takeaways from Finding Your Flow that students have shared:
- [I can] embrace my ADHD and stop trying to be like neurotypicals
- [I can]Â reward myself and follow my personal cycles
- [I know] it’s ok to procrastinate
- [I can]Â give grace in figuring things out, no more shaming
- [I can]Â trust my own system & intuition
FINDING YOUR FLOW:
the method
Here are the steps you'll learn in class
Step 1: Acknowledge the Shame Team
Wanna know the real problem with running a business as an ADHDer? It starts with the 3-member Shame Team, and it’s a real asshat. We’ll take a look at this team, what it’s been doing to you, and how you can begin to unlearn what you’ve been taught.
Step 2: Understand Time Horizon and why 90-launch plans don’t typically work for you
Those who have a neuro conforming brain can on average plan ahead 3 months (90 days) with minimal difficulty. The ADHDer? Can plan ahead with minimal difficulty about 24 hours … Enter: The Flex Plan, which is intentional, fun, and encourages little treats along the way!
Step 3: How Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria holds you back when it comes to “inviting” people to your business
You know how rejection suuuuucks? Well, it’s actually been shown to suck even harder for many ADHD humans. The good news is that by leveraging Recognition-Sensitive Euphoria, you can overcome rejection a little quicker and increase your belief in yourself and what you are offering.
Step 4: Consistency isn’t an ADHDer’s forte, so you need to try this instead
Consistency? You don’t know her. And that’s ok, because your brain finds doing the same thing day in and day out boring AF. What you can do instead, is follow the dopamine. Like a little treasure map!
Step 5: Understand how executive dysfunction impacts the use of others’ systems and why creating your own may be better
Following another person’s system requires some executive function skills like task initiation, sustained attention, and working memory (to name a few!) - the very skills that many ADHDers find challenging. It’s no wonder these systems haven’t worked for you. What about (hear me out) creating systems of your own? 🤯 Flowing with the spirit of your business might be the very thing that’s been missing.
Step 6: Understand the relationship between distractibility and follow through
The second D in ADHD might say deficit, but the truth is ADHDers have an overabundance of attention, which means you probably love a shiny object! The biggest change you will see here is when you unshame your overabundance of attention and shift your perspective on what it really means to follow through.
Maybe things are starting to click?
This online class teaches you how ADHD brains work and how traditional business practices likely won’t work for you - you’ll be equipped with new strategies to try and feel empowered with your new knowledge and tools, and so much more:
- You’ll save a bit of time when you’re inundated with the next course or blueprint that comes across your feed, because you’ll know that unless it’s designed with the ADHD brain in mind, you can scroll right on by!
- And not just time, you’ll probably save a nice chunk of change, since you’ll no longer be spending money on offers that aren’t for you. You’re welcome!
- You have been frustrated beyond belief and exhausted from all the time spent wondering WTF is wrong with you, when in actuality these methods have been taught by – let’s be honest, mostly cishet, non-disabled, white men – people who have NO IDEA how your brain works. You simply needed to understand your ADHD more and how it operates to feel liberated to do business your way!
- Burnout, stress, and anxiety have probably felt like baseline for a while now, and just by learning about yourself and how ADHD plays into your life as an entrepreneur can only help to alleviate some of that.
- If you’re no longer shaming yourself for being ADHD, and you’re allowing yourself to actually BE yourself, doing everything by working with your brain, imagine what that might look like for your business. If you’re showing up more, you’ll be more visible to potential clients, and potentially generate more income, right?
- There’s this Greek word, Eudaimonia - a state of human flourishing or well-being. It’s the opposite of burnout. When you align yourself with your ADHD in business, you’ll feel more engaged, more relaxed, and you’ll be resilient in the face of challenges.
- You might be feeling resentful of your business, or maybe you’ve become a little blah about showing up for clients, or perhaps you’re snapping at the people you love? Look, it’s normal to be unregulated when you’re stressed to the max - let’s figure this out together, so you can get back to loving your business and your humans, k?
- People are looking for you, but the real you, you know? Not the burnt out you, or the stressed you, or the frantic slash anxious you - and definitely not the you who has been trying to fit themselves into a box not meant for them. You deserve to show up as YOU in your business, ADHD and all, and you most definitely deserve to find your flow so your people can find you!
Let me paint a little picture for your future self.
Before, you had a bunch of courses and blueprints that are designed for the neurotypical mind, but now you have tangible ways to do business in a way that work for your brain.
Before, you were fucking frustrated having tried all the things, but now you are reenergized and equipped with new knowledge and tools to help you run your business.
Before, it was frantic energy of push push push (can’t stop, won’t stop!) or the couch-locked sloth and there was no in-between, but now there’s an understanding of the flow and your brain so there can be more ease.
Before, you were beholden to the shame team, but now you are beginning to unshame the messaging that has been on loop since you were little to grow a business in a way that makes sense for you.
Before, you were a Burnt Out Business Owner, but now you are an Empowered ADHDpreneur.
Hi,Â
I'm Taryn
I want to help you feel so fucking confident to put yourself out there, share your gifts with the world, while also not having to sell your soul or pretend to be neurotypical.
I want to help you take the mask off so you can just be YOU. I know you feel like you’ve never fit in and I know you are forever trying to figure out why you can’t just do what the “experts” expect you to and I know you’re afraid to fail. How do I know this? Because this was me. And it’s so many of my clients who I work with.
And my clients are amazing. They are super easy to work with because they are passionate about helping others, wear their hearts on their sleeves, don't have a bull-shitting bone in their bodies, are genuine, compassionate, and just have good energy you know? They have done lots of healing work, are silly and love to laugh, they love their family, they have an entrepreneurial spirit, and they give a shit.
I'm a former school counselor with a masters in counseling and have been coaching women entrepreneurs for over 10 years who, you guessed it, are ADHD - either formally or self-diagnosed (VALID).
For funsies, I love to hang with my family, take a group yoga class, find a hidden gem of a restaurant, and go to the movies. I've also gotten back into running and love to lift weights. You'll find me outdoors a lot, or at home singing along to my favorite music (which is pretty eclectic but let’s be honest mostly pop), and my favorite kind of TV is feel good shows like Schitt’s Creek and Ted Lasso.
