7 Warn­ing Signs You’re Suf­fer­ing From En­tre­pre­neur­ial ADHD

Have you been run­ning an on­line busi­ness for some time but you’re not get­ting anywhere?

You might suf­fer from what I call ‘En­tre­pre­neur­ial ADHD.’

It’s not a med­ical con­di­tion, it’s a psy­cho­log­i­cal one. One that makes you cre­ate a busi­ness that doesn’t work.

I speak from ex­pe­ri­ence. I’ve wasted years of my life dab­bling in busi­nesses with­out mak­ing much progress.

How Many Of These Signs For En­tre­pre­neur­ial ADHD De­scribe Your Business?

1. Your busi­ness is hav­ing fi­nan­cial problems.

  • You can’t pay your­self an ap­pro­pri­ate salary. 
  • You don’t have money left for a mar­ket­ing budget.
  • You don’t have money left to hire help or pay for tools and services.

In today’s open world it’s re­ally hard to con­sis­tently work on a rea­son­able busi­ness plan and not earn money. If you find you work a lot but aren’t fi­nan­cially suc­cess­ful, you need to stop what you’re do­ing and start fo­cus­ing on how to make profits.

2. Your busi­ness is turn­ing a profit but hasn’t grown in years.

Un­less you made a de­lib­er­ate de­ci­sion to stay small and not grow your busi­ness you should see at least a slight im­prove­ment every year. If you’re not grow­ing you might have lost focus.

Busi­ness isn’t get­ting eas­ier; cre­at­ing growth will put you in a bet­ter po­si­tion to sur­vive and thrive de­spite in­creas­ing competition.

3. You have sev­eral web sites with­out of­fer­ing any­thing a cus­tomer could buy.

Take a look at each web site you own. If sev­eral of them don’t have of­fers that can make your money, you know you’ve wasted your time.

You need to fo­cus on putting mon­e­ti­z­able of­fers on your sites.

4. You have lots of un­fin­ished projects and un­fin­ished products.

The road to hell is paved with good in­ten­tions. Hav­ing lots of un­fin­ished projects is a tell-tale sign of En­tre­pre­neur­ial ADHD.

The only way out of this mess is to com­mit to one project and dis­miss all oth­ers un­til it’s fin­ished and profitable.

5. You’re eas­ily ex­cited for every new busi­ness idea that comes along.

It’s self-ev­i­­dent that you’ll never build a prof­itable busi­ness if you’re chang­ing your busi­ness plans every few days or weeks.

6. You spend a lot of time wast­ing time.

do-not-disturb signCheck­ing your email every 30 min­utes isn’t go­ing to make you money.

Nei­ther are Face­book, Twit­ter, or Pin­ter­est. Or read­ing Google news.

But you knew that al­ready, didn’t you?

7. You’re liv­ing in the future.

If a big part of your think­ing re­volves around thing’s you’ll do and ac­com­plish , you won’t.

The only way to ac­com­plish some­thing is to ac­tu­ally work it.

Plan­ning it won’t get it done.
