Episode 79

Question Your Fear

Published on: 9th November, 2021

In the years I’ve been coaching bold, brilliant, badass female entrepreneurs, I have never once encountered one that was not capable of more than she was experiencing in her business success.  

Sometimes the issue was skill, occasionally it was will, but nine times out of ten,  it came down to fear.  Fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of being envied, fear of embarrassment, fear of proving someone right, even fear of betraying their roots are just some of the possibilities.  

Fear is something we need to learn how to manage if we want to move to a higher level of influence, impact, or income in business.  Until we do so, we will stay right where we are, and with the world moving forward at an ever-increasing pace,  staying in place is falling behind.  


The lowdown on fear we will cover in this episode:

  • What we are actually afraid of 
  • The 85% error factor 
  • Worst case scenario thinking & why we resort to it 
  • Fear and secondary gain 
  • The alternative to letting fear hold us back 


Freebie Alert

In order to transform our relationship with fear, we need to re-train our thoughts and reactions. If you have decided to start working on your fear, so you can uplevel your game, grab your copy of the handout that accompanies this episode:

You’ll hear how entrepreneurs navigate delegation, accountability, executive function challenges, decision fatigue, and burnout prevention. Each episode blends personal experiences with actionable strategies, showing you how to harness your creativity and energy without burning out.

Diann brings decades of experience helping ADHD business owners stop fighting their brains and start building companies that work with them. Through candid conversations and success stories, she highlights how ADHD entrepreneurs can grow intentionally, lead authentically, and design systems that support their unique strengths.

Listeners will find encouragement, clarity, and community in every episode. Whether you’re launching your first venture or scaling an established company, ADHD ish™ helps you embrace your entrepreneurial spirit while managing energy, focus, and decision making in ways that feel sustainable.

This podcast isn’t about fixing ADHD—it’s about leveraging it. ADHD ish™ proves that success doesn’t come from forcing yourself to think or work like everyone else. It comes from building a business that honors your brain, your creativity, and your drive.
