Finding An ADHD Business Coach Right For You

Have you struggled when finding an ADHD Business Coach? If you’ve tried to juggle business priorities and your sanity as an entrepreneur you may have ADHD. Whether your curse is too many ideas, inability to focus, or hyper-focusing on the wrong things, time and resources are limited. Many entrepreneurs have great ideas, yet if you have few real results, you may need some guidance. So finding an ADHD business coach may be a good next step.

Did you know

Many entrepreneurs have ADHD. ADHD can enhance a person’s ability to make decisions, think on their feet, and take risks. The many long nights and endless resilience necessary during startup can wear anyone down. The classic ADHD superpowers of impulsivity, hyperfocus, and initiating action can be traits that an entrepreneur needs to succeed. And, this in a way is why the entrepreneur’s lifestyle can seem very attractive to someone with ADHD. However, these hallmark ADHD superpowers can also be devastating blind spots in business.

Many people with ADHD have seemingly endless creative ideas. However, turning a great big creative idea into a business requires many, many steps. And, there are limitations to what someone can feasibly accomplish and sustain alone. And while creativity and big ideas are incredibly helpful to birthing a business,  ADHD can also hinder your ability to get it all done. So if you find yourself strung out yet over a barrel chasing your business dreams, now may be a good time to find an ADHD business coach.

ADHD Limitations

Some of the difficulties for adults with ADHD are focusing on the right things at the right time, prioritizing and managing time, temper and irregular emotions, decisions, finishing tasks, planning, and staying organized. When you struggle with these things, it can really get in the way of launching, growing or managing your successful business. Finding an ADHD Business Coach can help you make decisions, focus on the right things, sequence tasks effectively so your goals are met more often, regularly review your schedule so you can prioritize and manage your time effectively. An ADHD Business coach can help you systematize your workflows, develop strategies and repeatable processes that once documented can be delegated to others. You don’t have to do everything all by yourself.

Difficulties when finding an ADHD Business Coach

Finding an ADHD Business Coach can be elusive, however. It seems like everyone is hanging a shingle out as a coach these days. So it has become a bit of a ‘Buyer Beware’ conundrum. Since many coaches work virtually, few have brick-and-mortar locations. So to find an ADHD Business Coach that is right for you will require research. Here is a great checklist of what to look for in a coach. You’ll want to check legitimate resources and lists to adequately explore the coaches out there and then decide.

ADHD Coaches are trained life coaches who endorse and accept the coaching definition and ethics of the International Coach Federation (ICF). Additionally, many have specific training and expertise in coaching people and/or groups affected by ADHD. Many ADHD coaches have extensive backgrounds and expertise in many areas so it’s important for you to do your homework into someone’s professional background.
