Do you suffer from frustration intolerance? If you're an ADHD entrepreneur, you probably do. In this episode we're talking all about this issue (which I have a different name for) and helping you get equipped so you know exactly how to handle it, and make more progress in your business.Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.And welcome to "The Weeniecast."The Significance of Frustration Tolerance in ADHD and CoachabilityFrustration tolerance can have a massive influence on individuals with ADHD, and their ability to absorb coaching. In the episode I emphasize the importance of managing emotional dysregulation, which is crucial for personal and professional progress. You'll understand why this is a priority for tackling once you've heard the full episode but let's just say that this element of emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in shaping your learning behaviors and relationships as an ADHD entrepreneur. Also, your childhood responses can play a part. These are learned and amplified by educational systems which favor ease over challenge, can sculpt an individual’s lifelong self-assessment and their tenacity when facing adversity.Persistent Growth from Persistent ChallengesI'm going to take you through some stories that showcase the necessity of frustration as a catalyst in the growth journey. These stories are tailored to reinforce the notion that the process of learning inherently includes facing and overcoming difficulties. The good news is, perseverance and adaptability are skills that can be honed, and they're not just innate characteristics. Oh, and you'll definitely understand why Leonardo da Vinci offers a lot of learning for us ADHD entrepreneurs, when we study his approach to frustration intolerance.Timestamped summary00:00 Identifying fake business gurus.05:22 Golf skills don't guarantee coaching ability.09:05 Being pressured into uncertain financial decisions is wrong.12:28 Results not guaranteed, so seek professional financial advice.15:21 Ensure client testimonials are documented for credibility!18:55 Video testimonials help show who clients really are.22:08 Guard against impulsivity in decision-making, especially purchases.Prefer to watch?

This episode was all about tearing apart why those one-size-fits-all business plans are a big fat nope for us folks who struggle with impulse control and can't seem to stay focused if our lives depended on it.Success, ADHD-Style: Crafting Your Own Damn Rulebook!I've watched way too many brilliant ADHD peeps get totally bummed out by stiff structures and strategies that might as well be straightjackets. We're talking about battling the whole shebang - from the hell of time management to chasing every shiny thing that catches our eye.

'Noping' New Year's Resolutions: The ADHD Entrepreneur's Guide to Lasting Change!In the latest episode of The Weeniecast, I delve into the common misconception of "New Year, New You," debunking the notion that the turning of the calendar will inherently bring about personal change. Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.And I'm here to explore the pitfalls of conventional New Year’s resolutions and emphasize the necessity of creating tangible, lasting changes to facilitate goal attainment. I discuss the value of setting a word or intention for the year and stress the need for physical representations and consistent reminders to maintain focus.Embracing Intentions and Creating DisciplineAs I share personal experiences and insights, I highlight the significance of making structural changes in one's life to accommodate personal aspirations. From the impact of sleep on mental health and productivity to the importance of seeking guidance when venturing into uncharted territory, I encourage listeners to prioritize rest and learn from experts to achieve ambitious objectives. Setting intentions and making room for new pursuits in one's schedule are key to realizing our goals.Balancing Realistic Expectations with Action PlansAdvising against goal-setting centered solely on results, I draw from examples like Jim Carrey to underscore the importance of aligning goals with actionable steps. Emphasizing the need for flexibility and adaptability in goal pursuit, I share insights on how to approach goals within the framework of attainable actions. I urge individuals to commit to making time and energy available for achieving their goals while seeking professional support when necessary.Your next steps after listening Wanna get this content earlier, and totally unbleeped?

My online business manager Heather Lawson-Bradfield has been supporting me in my business for a few months now.

With Heather's distinctive background, she shares invaluable insights into managing ADHD's intricate web, revolving around prioritization and task management, which are pivotal for maintaining focus and mitigating the overwhelmed state that entrepreneurs often face.Oh if you're one of our particularly eagle-eared listeners who heard us talking about the Mars Rover - here's the link.Your next steps after listening Realising it's time to work with me?

ADHD and goal-centred discipline Hey there, it's Katie McManus here, and in this episode of The Weeniecast, I dive into a topic that I get asked about all the time: how to build discipline when you have ADHD. It's a question that many people with ADHD struggle with, especially when the traditional idea of discipline feels out of reach. We need to let go of the vision of perfect discipline and understand that for individuals with ADHD, discipline looks different. It's goal-centered, built in sprints, and relies on momentum rather than motivation. I use the example of building a workout routine to illustrate this point. Instead of overwhelming ourselves with complex fitness plans, we need to set low expectations and celebrate the small wins. Oh, and if you're an ADHD entrepreneur who.... ermmmm like me.... likes to keep up to date with axe cutting news, I've got this rather lovely TikTok channel you can follow. https://www.tiktok.com/@bradley.thor Another oh, if you're reading this, and your name is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, call me!

The Power of Listening: getting out of Squirrel mind during conversations in Business Relationships In this episode of The Weeniecast, we're talking all about ADHD communication. Specifically, we're exploring how to go from being a 'squirrel' to a 'shark', and in turn, becoming a better listener.  As an ADHD entrepreneur, it can be challenging to keep ourselves from oversharing in conversations, especially with clients. We often get so excited and end up going off on tangents or revealing too much. But fear not, because I have some strategies to help you navigate this common challenge. First, we'll discuss the three different levels of listening. Most of us spend the majority of our time in the first method - the squirrel method, where we're constantly thinking about what we should say next instead of truly focusing on the other person. To become a better listener, we need to tap into our other brain levels, where we listen more deeply and tune into what's not being said. This ability to read the room and understand the emotions of others is vital in building connections and relationships. So, get ready to exit squirrel brain and go into deeper waters... and become a better listener in your business. Whether you have ADHD or not, these communication strategies can benefit anyone seeking to improve their listening skills and forge stronger connections in the business world. I'm Katie McManus, your business strategist and money mindset coach. This is the latest episode of The Weeniecast, the podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs looking to level up their business strategies. The Three Levels of Listening So one of the things I learned at 'coaching school' was one of the most valuable lessons I still use to this day. There are three different categories of listening: the squirrel method, the cougar method, and the shark method.  Most people with ADHD spend the majority of their time in the squirrel method, where they are easily distracted and focused on their own thoughts rather than fully listening to the other person. This can lead to massive amounts of oversharing.  The cougar method involves deeply listening to what is being said and what is not being said. This level of listening requires tuning into body language and nonverbal cues. Then lastly, we've got the shark method. And it's this level of listening that's especially useful in business situations and can make individuals appear more observant and trustworthy. I'm hoping I can help you get started with practicing this after you've listened to this week's episode! The key moments in this episode are: 00:35 Avoid oversharing: a common ADHD struggle. 05:15 Sitcom-based vulnerability-dumps. 09:31 Questions reveal hidden emotions, fears, and aspirations. 13:35 An anxious leader in a meeting creates suspicion. 15:27 Unconscious energy reading; key coaching skill. 20:40 Observing public spaces brings attention and safety. 21:36 Relatable stories for connecting with clients, book recommendation.

Also, let's not forget the importance of taking care of our mental health, managing anxiety, and building support systems to navigate these challenges.  But it's not all doom and gloom. There are some incredible strengths of being an ADHD entrepreneur, such as our capacity for creativity, our ability to make unique connections, and our knack for coming up with quirky metaphors.  If you're ready to shift gears from being a Weenie to running a profitable business, I'd like to invite you to book a free generate income strategy call with me at weeniecast.com/strategycall.

Manifestation Secrets for ADHD Entrepreneurs Welcome to another episode of Weeniecast, the podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs looking to level up their business strategies. I'm Katie McManus, your business strategist and money mindset coach. In this episode, we're getting a little what some would call 'woo' and taking a look into the world of manifestation from the perspective of being an ADHD entrepreneur.  Look, for some it might seem a bit out there, but there is a real science behind the power of manifestation and the law of attraction. And it's my goal to get you opening your mind, and embracing it as part of your journey as an ADHD business owner. But still, we have ADHD. We understand that the conventional approaches to manifesting may not always work for us neurodiverse individuals, and that's why we're here to explore a better way. So I'm gonna be breaking down the unique challenges faced by ADHD entrepreneurs when it comes to focusing, experiencing positive emotions, and dealing with the details of manifestation. Get ready to unleash your manifesting potential and learn how to bring your business goals to life. Let's discover how people with ADHD can truly manifest what they desire. Understanding Manifestation for ADHD Entrepreneurs So to begin with, we explore how people with ADHD can effectively manifest their goals and desires. We acknowledge that traditional manifestation techniques often cater to neurotypicals, so we're here to discuss a better approach for ADHD individuals. By understanding the basic principles of manifestation and focusing on positive emotions, ADHD entrepreneurs can tap into their unique strengths to achieve their desired outcomes. Embracing Positive Focus and Letting Go of Details Before we can make any kind of change, we need to be focusing on positive emotions and letting go of the need to control every detail. ADHD entrepreneurs are known for their innovative problem-solving skills, but this approach may hinder manifestation. I'd love it if you listen to this episode and then feel empowered to imagine your desired outcomes and focus on the benefits, rather than getting caught up in the logistics or negative aspects. For instance, instead of worrying about filling a mansion with furniture, I'd say get yourself excited about hosting yourself some kickass parties and enjoying the company of friends in this dream space!

Are you an ADHD entrepreneur who's needing to keep juicing your goose with your routine? Hey there, delightful weenie - in this episode, I want to talk about a topic that many ADHD entrepreneurs can relate to - what happens when your routine stops working for you?  How can you ensure you keep 'juicing your goose'? We all know that feeling when everything seems to be flowing smoothly, and then suddenly, it all falls apart.  It could be due to a change in schedule, a move, or even something as simple as a seasonal shift.  But when your routine is disrupted and you have ADHD, it can feel like being lost in the woods with no way to find your way out.  It's overwhelming, frustrating, and you're left wondering how to prioritize your never-ending to-do list. One common catalyst for routine breakdowns is transitioning from a corporate job to being self-employed.  As ADHD entrepreneurs, we thrive in structure, but struggle to create it for ourselves.  So I'm here sharing my own experience of having a perfectly dialed-in routine while working in the solar industry, only to see it fall apart when I started my own business.  Watch the episode promo To ensure your routine keeps juicing your goose, it's important to regularly redesign it based on your needs and desires.  Whether it's consciously designing a routine for a few weeks or months, or making adjustments as needed, variety is key.  What are you craving more of? More creativity? More leisure? More movement? By identifying what you truly need, you can tailor your routine to incorporate those elements.  ADHD entrepreneurs - contains ideas for routine remaps! I'll share some insights on how I recently remapped my routine to fill my whimsical cup.  Remember, routines have expiration dates for ADHD-preneurs, so be open to redesigning them when necessary.

ADHD entrepreneur? Stop with trying to eat the frog. Psst - Click to join the waitlist to be invited to our weeniecast hyperfocus community!  In this week's episode of The Weeniecast, I'm talking about the concept of eating the ice cream first before tackling the tough stuff, which neurotypicals refer to as 'eating the frog'. I will talk you through a whole bunch of stuff that will ensure you never look at grocery stores the same way again. Mostly because you'll learn that their entire layouts are designed to psychologically tap into our minds and manipulate our behaviours. This also ties into my explanation of why it's important for ADHD entrepreneurs to prioritize their rewards and give themselves ice cream before biting into the frog. After listening, you'll also understand why this episode's artwork features me enjoying a moment with Tom Hanks.... Check out all my previous episodes and interact with the show via my website at weeniecast.com Watch the episode promo ADHD entrepreneurs - try eating your ice cream first! Hi! I'm your host Katie McManus and in this episode of The Weeniecast we're taking an unconventional approach to productivity for ADHD entrepreneurs. We explore the concept of prioritizing rewards before tackling the most challenging tasks, rather than following the traditional advice of "eating the frog" and completing the hardest things first. We discuss how neurotypical individuals benefit from a dopamine-driven reward system throughout the day, while ADHD individuals struggle to maintain motivation without sufficient dopamine levels. This episode challenges the societal norms of productivity and encourages listeners to find strategies that align with their unique neurodivergent needs. Click here to download our free guide to winning social media marketing strategy for adhd entrpreneurs Reshaping productivity Strategies  I'm here challenging the notion that productivity should follow a linear trajectory, where the hardest tasks are completed first and rewards come later. For individuals with ADHD, this approach often leads to procrastination, lack of productivity, and feelings of failure. Instead, I'm here to tell you that reshaping productivity strategies to incorporate rewards and enjoyable activities earlier in the day is the way. By acknowledging that ADHD individuals may have lower dopamine levels in the morning, this alternative approach focuses on finding motivation and satisfaction in tasks throughout the day, rather than relying on willpower alone. The key moments in this episode are: 00:00:26 Unhealthy food placement influences consumer choices. 00:05:33 Weekend tasks delay leads to unproductiveness. 00:07:16 Saturday mornings: coffee, dog, and movies. 00:10:43 Struggling to stick to morning routines and schedules. 00:13:38 Missed reading, found value in new moon circles. 00:18:25 Base pay low, commissions not reliable. Incentive system harmful, outperform with guaranteed pay. The next steps for you after you’ve listened to this episode are: Book a call

Strategies for managing emotions as an adhd entrepreneur! Psst - Click to join the waitlist to be invited to our weeniecast hyperfocus community!  Do you intellectualize your emotions?  Hey lovely weenie! Welcome to another episode of The Weeniecast - the podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs seeking business strategies. I'm your host Katie McManus.  As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of starting a business and dealing with the pressure and expectations that come with it, I understand the importance of addressing our emotional well-being. We often get so caught up in the intellectual side of things, trying to make sense of our feelings, that we neglect to actually process and release them.  Watch the episode promo Don't be intellectualizing emotions!  It's essential for ADHD entrepreneurs to learn how to fully feel and process their emotions, both the good and the bad. By doing so, we not only gain a better understanding of ourselves, but also enhance our ability to connect with others and build successful businesses. Emotions should not be seen as obstacles to success, but rather as tools that can support and guide us on our entrepreneurial journey. I, myself, have had to to the work on this thanks to PTSD caused by a brain injury, and I recognize the importance of therapy in supporting my business endeavors. Do you know, children with ADHD often struggle to communicate their emotions effectively, leading to emotional dysregulation? Many individuals with ADHD learn to intellectualize their emotions rather than process them fully, resulting in trapped energy and unresolved feelings. This can be detrimental to both personal and professional growth. The stigma around your natural emotions when you have adhd The episode highlights the misconceptions and stigma surrounding emotions, particularly in the business world. Emotions are often seen as obstacles to success rather than valuable tools for understanding and connecting with others. Katie challenges this perspective, highlighting the importance of embracing the full range of emotions to live a fulfilling life and run a successful business. She acknowledges the difficulty of processing negative emotions but emphasizes the necessity of doing so in order to fully experience positive emotions like joy and love. The key moments in this episode are: 00:00:52 What really helps when coping with trauma and stress. 00:03:18  Crying is stigmatized; emotions are intellectualized. 00:07:02 Children's movie showcases importance of emotional intelligence. 00:12:03  Acceptable reasons to take time off work. 00:15:41  Thrift shop finds to help process emotions. 00:17:53  Don't suppress emotions, ignore false promises.

ADHD entrepreneur - here are the qualities you need to seek in your business 'comrades'! Welcome back to another episode of The Weeniecast - the podcast for ADHD entrepreneurs seeking business strategies. I'm your host Katie McManus and in this week's episode I’m reflecting on my own entrepreneurial journey and sharing the five key qualities I look for in others as an ADHD entrepreneur.  Without wishing to make it sound like we're filling in a dating app shopping list, it's really important to make sure you're always right swiping on the people who lift you, not hold you back. From genuine passion for their work to a strong focus on impact and creative problem-solving, these qualities are essential for building a supportive and thriving business network.  But that's not all – I’m also going to talk about setting boundaries and valuing your own worth as a professional.  How to surround yourself with individuals who understand the value of mutually beneficial transactions and are not afraid to ask, "What's in it for me?" We’ll also look into why being asked to work for free is an absolute nope and why you need to walk away from people who think it’s OK to do that! Watch the episode promo Qualities to Look for as an ADHD Entrepreneur Ok, so there are a few qualities that are important for building a successful business and maintaining motivation.  I just want to name that it's crucial to surround yourself with people who genuinely love what they do and are passionate about their work.  And I mean obsessively, fandom creating-ly passionate! Money shouldn't be the sole measure of success; instead, it's important they, and you, focus on the impact you have on clients and the world. Being resourceful and having a can-do attitude is also essential for overcoming challenges. It's also hella important to surround yourself with supportive individuals in your industry and those who are comfortable with transactional relationships! Overcoming Challenges and Being Resourceful Surrounding yourself with peeps who are always being resourceful and having a 'can do' spirit is crucial in entrepreneurship.  And especially so when you have ADHD! Rather than giving up when faced with obstacles, successful entrepreneurs see challenges as opportunities to tap into their creativity and network. And if they're really smart, that network includes you! They find ways around the walls and barriers and maintain an optimistic mindset. Surrounding yourself with individuals who have this problem-solving mentality can greatly benefit your own entrepreneurial journey. The key moments in this episode are: 00:02:58 Avoid lone wolves who view business as a cutthroat game 00:04:08 Surround yourself with confident, transactional people 00:04:52 It’s ok to say “no”.

Navigating ADHD and executive dysfunction in business In this episode, I'll be discussing how I'm bouncing back from a disastrous launch due to my ADHD. I'll share how my executive dysfunction and overcomplicated plan contributed to my own failure. I'll explain how I dealt with the situation, kept my audience informed, admitting my mistakes and received supportive emails. And how despite my initial fear of being seen as a failure, I embrace my ADHD and share how I'm using it to recover and relaunch. (Psst! here's a Free resource for you, my lovely weenie listener! - weeniecast.com/adhdsocialmedia) I experienced massive amounts of rejection sensitivity dysphoria after admitting to a mistake in my business program launch. I was convinced that people would see me as a failure, even though my audience would never do that. I know this. But RSD was fired up and raw. This sensitivity to rejection caused me to feel activated and anxious about admitting that I did something wrong. However, I was determined to bounce back from this setback and recover from it. If you haven’t yet listened to my previous episode, go do that first. This one will make more sense if you do. After recording that episode, I took a week off to rest and recharge because I was exhausted and a little burned out. I realized that when I was tired and lacking creativity, it was difficult for me to come up with a strategy and plan for promoting my program. This episode tells the story of how I managed to center and regroup. Watch the episode promo A supportive community The overall response from my audience was supportive. I mean, I don’t know why I’m surprised at that – I shouldn’t be.  More and more people responded positively to my admitting my mistakes and correcting them.

The Truth About Laziness and ADHD: Dispelling Misconceptions and Promoting Productivity (Psst! The resource Katie mentions in this episode is here - weeniecast.com/adhdsocialmedia) "Sometimes being lazy is just a massive sign from the universe that you need to hire someone else to do this for you or get some help. It's not a reflection of your capabilities, it's a strategic decision for your productivity." - Katie McManus Hey there, my ADHD tribe! In this episode of the Weeniecast, join me, Katie McManus, as we dive into the misunderstood world of laziness and ADHD. Discover the truth behind executive dysfunction, the need for rest, and the difficulty in shifting gears.

Here's the link - https://bookkatiemcmanus.as.me/Strategycall Stop Calling Yourself Lazy Let's shake up that story we've been telling ourselves, the one where we call ourselves 'lazy'. Ouch! When we hear people call us that it's like pouring salt in a wound and it's as far from the truth as a chihuahua is from a T-Rex. We're not lazy – far from it. We're simply prioritizing in a world that often seems to be spinning faster than we can keep up. 🌍 In our latest Weeniecast episode, we're taking that tired ol' 'L' word and tossing it in the trash! Why? Because it's not serving us. Instead, let's dish out some kindness and understanding to ourselves. 🙌 Sometimes, what looks like inaction is just our brains needing a pit stop or seeking some much-needed help. It doesn't mean we're deficient. On the contrary, it's a sign of wisdom - we're not stupid, we know when to take a breath and re-evaluate our game plan. 🧩 Remember, you're not lazy, you're simply a strategic prioritizer! Delegating and Hiring Help Ever stared down a task that felt like you were trying to herd cats? Been there, worn the fur! Trust me - there’s no medal for trying to wrangle the un-wrangle-able. 🐈 Here’s the secret sauce: Delegation. It's an unsung hero in our ADHD toolkit and a game-changer when it comes to managing executive dysfunction. It's not about being 'lazy' (let's fire that word off into the cosmos, shall we?). It’s about being a smart player on the chessboard of life. ♟️ In my latest Weeniecast episode, as I have in previous ones!, I’m hoisting the flag for delegation and outsourcing. You know those 'lazy' tasks (the ones that seem about as easy to tackle as herding cats)? Well, they could be someone else's piece of cake, their 'zone of genius.' 🎂 So here’s the big reveal: It’s perfectly okay not to do everything yourself. In fact, it’s pure genius. Reach out, delegate, and watch your game level soar like an eagle on jet fuel. It’s all about playing smart, not hard. 😉 The Importance of Rest Think 'rest' and 'lazy' are synonymous? Let me tell you, they're about as similar as apples and hedgehogs. In the ADHD entrepreneur world, it's easy to believe that rest equals laziness. But that's about as far from the truth as...

So, how about we reserve our energy for the stuff only we can ace, and let's let others handle the nitty-gritty! Then, we can focus on the big picture! Mastering The Art of Systems One word: systems. Yep, as unsexy as it sounds, these babies are the secret to running a smooth operation and keeping overwhelm at bay. ADHD entrepreneurs, this is your sign to jump on the Asana and Trello bandwagon, and give time-blocking a whirl. With the right systems in place, you can keep your ship sailing smoothly, and hit those business milestones with less stress and more success.   Direct quote from episode The $200,000 Plateau Blues Ah, the dreaded revenue plateau.

But it's about going beyond the numbers and diving into the world of authentic relationships! When we take an active role in the online community, when we show up for others and truly engage with their content, something magical happens.

If you're feeling like you're in a tail spin because your carefully crafted social media posts aren't generating the engagement and sales you desire... then I want to name that you are not alone! Lots of us ADHD entrepreneurs struggle with the pressure to present a perfect and polished image online, but this can actually hinder our ability to build trust and community with our followers. And ultimately this hurts our bottom line because we're not turning them into clients!  Now don't misunderstand your ol' friend Katie here, embracing vulnerability and imperfection can be uncomfortable! Yet, if you try it, it allows for a more authentic connection with your audience. Instead of trying to hide your flaws, share them with your followers and let them see the human behind the brand. This transparency can lead to more meaningful relationships and ultimately, 'real' success on social media, not just the vanity metrics that we all think we're here for... And I'll be covering more on that topic, in the next following episode (37) so make sure you're following this podcast so you don't miss it... Promo Accessibility: click to read a written-to-be-read transcript of the episode Building Trust with Imperfection In order to connect with potential clients and create a supportive community, you've gotta present yourself as genuine, relatable, and beautifully imperfect! By sharing our imperfections, we make ourselves more approachable and relatable, allowing audiences to see us as real people rather than experts with unattainable qualities.  This creates a bond of trust between you and your audience, which ultimately leads to a stronger and more loyal community of followers. Sharing our struggles, whether they're small everyday mishaps or larger personal challenges, can help entrepreneurs build trust with their audience. In this episode I want to recognize that sharing vulnerabilities is going to be especially challenging if you have ADHD and its common co-pilot rejection sensitivity dysphoria. But my goal with this episode is to talk you through starting slowly and then if you work with me on it, we can gradually build you up to new heights as you grow more comfortable sharing your stories with your audience. Sharing Scars, Not Wounds Now I appreciate that I just spent the entire previous section talking about how sharing our vulnerabilities is important, but let's not be hasty. Have a listen to the episode because it's essential to differentiate between how to share and how not to share. Like with most things in business and indeed life, there's nuance to this! Sharing in the wrong way can lead to trauma and tailspins, so let's prep this powerful new you that you're gonna bring to your socials, k? Hey, what are you...

Avoid Business Chaos: Create a Smooth Client Onboarding Process "Personal development is really hard for so many people, so these clients who are going through a really tough phase of working with you when it comes to paying you for the next month. That is an opportunity for them to decide, you know what? I don't wanna do this anymore. Which is sh*%ty for  you because it means that you've lost a client and this client that you've lost, you haven't lost in a really clean way where you've talked about completing together and you're ending this relationship consciously." - Katie McManus, Brave Business Coaching&nbsp; Struggling to get clients on board and seamlessly making payments within their business lots of ADHD entrepreneurs don't realise how simple it is to fix a disorganized onboarding process. And it's exactly that which is causing the problem! So I'm here to help you stop being a weenie with your business systems, and fix any difficult situations to help you realize the benefits of creating a streamlined system.&nbsp; Creating a Good Client Experience A key component of business success is providing a positive client experience. This includes not only the services provided but also the ease with which clients can access and pay for these services. A streamlined payment process contributes to a more enjoyable client experience and increases the likelihood of repeat business or referrals. Initially I myself, Katie McManus, struggled to implement efficient payment systems. It is common for new business owners to face similar challenges, but I want to reassure listeners to the Weeniecast that there is always room for improvement. By prioritizing professional systems, businesses can retain clients and promote positive word of mouth, bolstering their reputation and growth. The Problem with Complicated Payment Systems Do you think sometimes we can try to be too clever? When starting a business, entrepreneurs often focus on getting clients and accommodating them, leading to disorganized payment systems. This not only hinders business growth but also confuses clients and can result in lost revenue. Inefficient payment systems lead to frustration for both business owners and clients alike, diminishing any sense of professionalism and trust. With multiple clients paying through different methods, it creates difficulty in managing finances and keeping track of due payments. So I'm urging you to listen to not only this episode, but the part two of this episode I've shared on my exclusive premium podcast, "The Weeniecast for Winners" so you can reassess their payment systems and ensure it follows a streamlined approach to avoid any complications or misunderstandings.&nbsp; This episode that's all about stopping being a weenie ADHD-preneur with your business systems, covers: 00:00:58 - The Problem with Complicated Payment Systems 00:04:14 - The Impact on Your Business and Clients 00:09:23 - Changing Your Billing System 00:12:03 - Simplifying Your Business 00:14:20 - Importance of Proper Systems 00:15:01 - Creating a Good Client Experience 00:16:38 - Starting Small and Growing 00:18:21 - Choosing the Right System 00:20:54 - Why Simplicity is Key&nbsp;Psst!!
