The ADHD Perfectionist Cure: Be Sh*tty At Stuff!

The Weeniecast: make more money, create an impact

If the thought of starting a business makes you break out in hives because you're terrified of sucking at, well, pretty much everything, then this episode of the Weeniecast is exactly what you need.

Hey, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach, and this is my podcast "The Weeniecast!"

Now, back to this episode...

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: intentionally failing at stuff is the key to building resilience and telling perfectionism to take a hike.

We'll dive into why those of us with ADHD tend to have such a hard time with failure, and I'll hook you up with three tactics to practice being absolutely terrible at things.

You'll find out how failing on purpose, correcting instead of beating yourself up, and embracing the "half-assed" approach can help you stop spinning your wheels and actually make some progress in your business.

By the time you're done listening, you'll be itching to go out there and epically suck at something new.

You'll be ready to tackle all the crazy skills you'll need to learn as a freshly minted business owner, from sales and marketing to tech stuff that makes you want to pull your hair out.

And you'll have the tools you need to keep putting one foot in front of the other, even when you're not magically amazing at everything right out of the gate.

So come along for the ride as we take a hilarious, no-holds-barred look at how to dropkick perfectionism to the curb and develop the resilience to fail your way to success.
