Procrastination Pivot Guide

I've been a 'business owner' for more than half my life now - but I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until my early 40s.

I tried over and over again - and there was nothing wrong with the business, it was all down to me.

Every time I failed because I was

unable to get work done to deadlines
spending days or weeks on work that wasn't needed or a new shiny object
absolutely sick of myself when I kept procrastinating even when I really needed to get work out the door!
feeling like a complete fraud: but knowing that every time I had a regular job, I burnt out in double quick time.

The reason I couldn't get unstuck was my ADHD (with a side order of autism).

ADHD was ALSO the reason I kept coming up with brilliant ideas for new products, new businesses and absolutely hated being in a 9-5 working for someone else!

Executive functions have nothing to do with briefcases or wearing suits!

They are how our brains connect and communicate. They control how we interact with the world around us and the jobs that we have to do.

What many people don't realise is that until we know how to build 'scaffolding' for your Executive Functions, you'll just keep repeating the same problems. It's why the planners, the apps, the new smart watch... don't fix the problem.

But YOU can learn how to help YOUR brain - and become unstoppable.

I spent my life feeling really confused: if I was so smart, why were 'normal' things so difficult? Why did basic business things - finishing emails, completing quotes, sending invoices, defeat me?

When I grew up in the 1970s nobody had heard of ADHD. I was finally diagnosed in my 40s and I began to look for information and support. There really wasn't much around in Scotland, so the procrastination pattern continued until I discovered ADHD Coaching in the USA.

From that moment, my ability to work, to get things done, to be persistent (and consistent) all began to change. I loved it so much that I retrained as an ADHD Coach with the top USA academy & became an Advanced & Family Certified ADHD Coach with over 350+ hours of training and even more client hours, working with amazing people who were stuck too.
