How Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs Can Build a Business That Works for Them
The challenges ADHD and Autistic entrepreneurs face, and how the right systems, planning, and support help you build a business that works with your brain.
Me and my business
You are the business and the person running it, so when your brain has a bad week, the company does too. A missed follow-up, a half-built website, a month where nothing got invoiced. It reads like a discipline problem. It's a systems problem, and the owner's wiring is part of the system. Build the business around how your attention works, and the bad weeks stop taking everything down with them. Below are a book, a podcast, and a channel for owners who think this way. The first call is free.

Book
How to ADHD
Jessica McCabe
Jessica McCabe spent years making YouTube videos about her own ADHD and interviewing researchers along the way. This book is what she built from all of it. Focus, time, getting started, and the shame that piles up when none of those work the way you were told they should. It reads like an insider explaining it to you, plainly.
Podcast
Translating ADHD
Asher Collins; Dusty Chipura
Asher Collins and Dusty Chipura are ADHD coaches who have ADHD, and their show covers the condition at work, in business, and in the daily routines that hold both up. They translate, which is the right word: what's happening in the brain and what to do about it at your desk. There hasn't been a new episode in over four months. For adults with ADHD running a career or a company.
YouTube channel
How to ADHD
Jessica McCabe
The channel a lot of adults watched right before they said "Oh. Wait, that's me."
Jessica McCabe has close to two million subscribers, and she got there by sourcing her explainers from research and having staff check the work. How ADHD works, focus, getting started, emotional regulation, and what to do the week after a diagnosis. Her site says she's not a trained professional. If you just got diagnosed, or you're a teenager, watch this before you read anything on social media.
