Stop Being Your Own Worst Client: ADHD Edition
Picture this.
You've got a coaching client who shows up every week saying:
"I meant to finish my email opt-in page… but, life."
"I was too slammed to write that chapter of my book."
"I completely forgot about the webinar slides. Again."
You'd look her dead in the eye (with love, of course) and say,
"Friend, this isn't working."
You'd never let your client run their business like that. You'd dig in, get curious, find the executive dysfunction traps, and help her figure out what needs to shift. Because that's what you do—you help people build businesses that work for their brains.
So why are you still letting yourself fall through the cracks? It's time to implement some strategies for self-management and prioritization. Start by setting clear goals, breaking them down into manageable tasks, and using tools like time blocking and to-do lists to stay on track.
Why is your most valuable client—you—the one getting your worst time, your leftover energy, and the "I'll do it later when things calm down" treatment?
ADHD Entrepreneurs: We Do Not Have a "Later."
"Later" is a fantasy world where we suddenly become neurotypical, and the dishes do themselves.
Spoiler alert: That's never coming.
And neither is the perfect moment when all the client work is done, the inbox is empty, and your brain feels magically calm enough to write a launch plan or outline that course.
The truth? If you keep treating your business like it's optional, it'll keep treating you like you're optional too.
Your Business Is Not a Side Hustle—It's Your Mission
You didn't create this business to stay stuck in client delivery forever. You built it to grow. To make an impact. To change lives—including your own.
And that starts by putting YOU on the calendar.
That's right. Book an appointment with the CEO version of yourself—and honor it like you would a call with your most high-maintenance VIP client. For example, you could schedule a weekly strategy session or a monthly planning day, and treat it with the same respect and commitment as you would a client meeting.
Let that time be sacred. No rescheduling. No 'just one quick email' distractions. No convincing yourself that laundry counts as self-care. This is your time to nurture your business and yourself, because you deserve it.
Use that time for real growth:
Build your next group program
Brain-dump your book chapter
Write those launch emails
Pitch the JV collab you've been too chicken to send
Not because you 'should,' but because you deserve to live the life this business can create in the future. You are worthy of success, and it's time to start believing it.
It's Time to Become Your Own Best Client
This is your permission slip to stop sacrificing your dream at the altar of everyone else's deadlines.
You are not just the coach, the strategist, the content wizard, or the launch whisperer for other people.
You are the visionary. The founder. The soul of this whole thing.
Treat yourself like it.
