Episode 47

Idea Overload: Taming the Chaos and Taking Action

Published on: 30th March, 2021

If you heard my last solo episode, the one I called Do the Thing,  you’ll see that I am on a roll. You see, I work with creative female entrepreneurs and while each of them is unique,  many of their struggles are far too common.  

This week, I’m going to share my thoughts about how having a super creative brain, which is always spouting one amazing idea after another is actually a problem. Not a problem as in you should feel sorry for me, boo hoo, #thestruggleisreal kind of way, but it does tend to lead to trouble knowing which one to focus on,  trouble sticking with it after the shiny wears off, and trouble even thinking any of them is worth doing because the best idea ever is the one you haven’t had yet. 

In this week’s solo episode, we are going to talk about endless creativity, difficulty focusing, and struggling to recognize our own brilliance, and most importantly, what to do with all of it.   

Our Pod Praise (podcast review) this week comes from Gwendalyn, a serial entrepreneur listener, who writes:

About the Podcast

ADHD-ish™
ADHD Business Strategy for Business Owners with Busy Brains
Running a business with ADHD isn't hard because you're distracted. It's hard because most business advice wasn't built for your brain.

Many entrepreneurs with ADHD try to solve business challenges with more productivity hacks, stricter routines, or systems they can never quite sustain. Others keep chasing new ideas, opportunities, and strategies, hoping the next one will finally make everything click.

The result? More cognitive load, more unfinished projects, more decision fatigue, and often more burnout.

ADHD-ish™ is the podcast about ADHD business strategy for business owners with ADHD who want to grow a successful company without forcing themselves to think, work, or lead like everyone else.

Each episode explores the real-world challenges of running a business with ADHD, including ADHD business growth, delegation and accountability, decision-making, executive function in business, burnout prevention, leadership, and building business systems that actually work for your brain. You'll hear practical strategies, honest conversations, personal stories, and expert insights designed to help you make better decisions, follow through on what matters most, and create sustainable success.

I'm Diann Wingert. As a business coach, former psychotherapist, serial entrepreneur, and the creator of ADHD-ish™, I've spent years helping entrepreneurs and business owners with ADHD stop fighting their brains and start building businesses that work with them.

Whether you're an ADHD entrepreneur, an ADHD small business owner, or a founder trying to scale a business while managing the realities of ADHD, this show will help you lead more effectively, grow more intentionally, and build a business that's designed for the way you think.
