Relearning Motivation as an Entrepreneur with ADHD

So many of us with ADHD have real challenges with motivation. That comes in many forms and we see it in all areas of our lives. Motivation challenges us from simple tasks at work, getting up enough energy to go to the gym or complete large projects. And motivation even challenges us when we need to do basic things such as clean the house. Jandra Sutton is back on the podcast, founder of the Wildest Company a full-service creative agency. Jandra also offers various coaching services and has been featured in many major publications. She was officially diagnosed with ADHD right before the pandemic and has some perspective on what it takes to create meaningful and effective motivation. **Please support the podcast at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/overcomingd One of the top ways that Jandra has looked at motivation is the focus on the process rather than getting excited about an entire project. Sometimes it takes just a little bit to get us off the mark. Jandra talks about what prompted her to write an article for the Metro UK about motivation. She has learned about what it takes to get motivated as a person with ADHD running a business and she shared some of her advice in that article. Dave and Jandra also talk about whether many with ADHD take a look at motivation incorrectly and whether we look at the mountain we cannot climb or whether we are better at picking away at small parts of a larger project. Dave and Jandra also talked about how the ADHD brain responds to motivation differently as we may require different types of prompts to get started. Jandra talks about what works for her and she has her tips for motivating herself as an entrepreneur with ADHD running a business. As you'll find out, some may surprise you but they work for her. And the bottom line of this conversation is that you need to find what works for you because every person is different when it comes to motivating factors.
