    [S6] How to be more consistent when you have ADHD

    [S6] How to be more consistent when you have ADHD

    Today we're chatting about how you can be more consistent in your content, showing up and in your business in general when you have ADHD. 



    Because fun fact, when you have ADHD, not only, are you more likely to suffer from burn out but you also have a very hard time waiting for things which means if you do traditional methods like batching out all of your content, you might find yourself posting three times a day when it was supposed to last you for an entire month. Plus, we can get really bored with parts of the content creation process and even get sad when things are finished we're gonna tackle all that in the six minute episode.



    I share a bunch more tips about being a CEO who has ADHD over on my Instagram like this post here, so be sure to give me a follow there.

Danny J Nanny ,

Yes! Listen to Kate

I looooooove this show. I blast it in my ear holes as often as I can. New episodes. Old episodes. They are all amazing. Kate is the real deal. Her advice is timeless, she is basically the Beatles of solopreneurship - at least the Paul.
Since listen to her show from understanding nil about email marketing, lead magnets, and copy writing (to name a few) I have been hired as an Engagement Strategist and began selling my works - white label style - to other business owners in my industry. It’s amazing. Check out her stuff. You won’t regret it. And hey, if you’re not sure, just keep listen to Kate.

Doing the brave thing

I’ve been following Kate for years now and I’ve learned so much! She’s so laid-back, honest, and encouraging. I look forward to each new episode so I can follow her practical advice. 🥰

Kemomilo ,

Kate is the best!

I love Kate and her podcast. She gives you permission to be yourself and let the world see who you really are. Her tips and strategies have made me lots of money! Ashley The Money Mindset Podcast
