Stop People Pleasing to Boost Your Profits

Published on: 7th December, 2021

I think it's really important as women and business owners that we understand how our culture has conditioned us to have certain beliefs, expectations, habits, and behaviors that interfere with our ability to achieve our goals and be successful. Most of us don't even realize all the things that we are doing that are killing our profits. So I'm willing to offend, to annoy, and even risk being a trigger because I think for those of you that are ready to hear the unvarnished truth and do something about it, you are going to be able to maximize your profits in your business without even having to hire me. You are welcome. 

We will cover a handful of obvious (and not so obvious) ways we leave money on the table,  limit our income, impose our own internal glass ceiling, and take a pay cut in our business.  We are going to dig into money mindset, imposter complex, avoiding the ask, pricing, discounts, bartering, raising your fees, and avoiding dealing with employees and contractors that are messing up your bottom line.  We also confront some of the more insidious (aka sneaky unconscious beliefs so many of us have, such as beliefs about money and greed, getting paid for our talents, and whether or not it’s selfish to make money for something you enjoy doing,  

Like all of my solo episodes, this one is a cross between a kick in the ass and a warm hug.  Hey, you don’t need me to flatter you,  blow smoke up your skirt or polish your pinkies.  My specialty is being the Speaker of Uncomfortable Truths because I want you to succeed. If you are serious about making a living while making a difference, you need to pay attention to the unconscious habits that get in your way, and most of all, what you can do instead. I am here to give you the straight talk, with a dash of sass!

Taming Shiny Object Syndrome in Your Business

Taming Shiny Object Syndrome in Your Business

Our edge as entrepreneurs comes from spotting trends and launching fresh ideas. The problem? Most of us have a graveyard of half-baked projects, forgotten launches, half-written newsletters, and more orphaned tech tools than we care to admit. Let's face it: innovation is our ADHD advantage, but execution moves the...

About the Podcast

ADHD-ish
For Business Owners with Busy Brains
ADHD-ish is THE podcast for business owners who are driven and distracted, whether you have an “official” ADHD diagnosis or not. If you identify as an entrepreneur, small business owner, creative, independent professional, or freelancer, and you color outside the lines and think outside the box, this podcast is for you.

People with ADHD traits are far more likely to start a business because we love novelty and autonomy. But running a business can be lonely and exhausting. Having so many brilliant ideas means dozens of projects you’ve started and offers you’ve brainstormed, but few you’ve actually launched. Choosing what to say "yes" to and what to "catch and release" is even harder. This is exactly why I created ADHD-ish.

Each episode offers practical strategies, personal stories, and expert insights to help you harness your active mind and turn potential distractions into business success. From productivity tools to mindset shifts, you’ll learn how to do business your way by
embracing your neurodivergent edge and turning your passion and purpose into profit.

If we haven't met, I'm your host, Diann Wingert, a psychotherapist-turned-business coach and serial business owner, who struggled for years with cookie-cutter advice meant for “normies” and superficial ADHD hacks that didn’t go the distance. In ADHD-ish, I’m sharing the best of what I’ve learned from running my businesses and working with coaching clients who are like-minded and like-brained.

Note: ADHD-ish does have an explicit rating, not because of an abundance of “F-bombs” but because I embrace creative self-expression for my guests and myself. So, grab those headphones if you have littles around, and don’t forget to hit Follow/Subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode.
