Hey founders, real talk; Running a business with ADHD has it's challenges. Who knew?! But my ADHD isn't the reason I've gone quiet in here. It's actually because, since Rex and I split, I've needed to refocus my efforts on my main business: SEO for B2B SaaS. I've been doing SEO for nearly 14 years now. I've worked with companies like Monday, Oberlo, AppSumo, Ahrefs and, currently, Semrush. SEO was my second love (writing was my first). My runway for running the experiment of making this Skool community my full-time focus dried up a few months ago, and I've had to refocus on my main income earner. I've absolutely loved building this community - especially the defining moments, like celebrating getting the star and becoming a top 1% community with @Tommy Gan and @Izzy Piyale-Sheard. The past year has given me many moments to be really proud of. And many moments that made me want to rip my hair out. (Typical entrepreneurship!) Anyway, here's what that means for this community going forward: I'll commit to writing one post per week. No more, no less. I'd rather show up consistently with something real than try to run a full curriculum I can't sustain. You'll get my honest observations from the trenches of building a freelance SEO business with ADHD, including what's working, what's blowing up in my face, and what I'm learning about SEO in the age of AI. I'm also committed to being there for the Momentum Lab members. @Jen Ritchie @Alena Sladkovská @Emily Satel @Rachel Hasson @Stijn Van Den Bossche @Amber Kay. We've been meeting twice a week every week since this thing started, and they've done some cool shit. (Shout out to Jen for doing her 5-day challenge launch and hitting her MRR target! And to Emily for starting her private practice, to Rachel for launching her new offer and bringing in some new clients, to Amber for massively increasing her prices and finally bringing in a livable wage from her business.)

I’m trying to build something genuinely useful for ADHD brains in my country — in Czech, not English. Few weeks ago, I put out a survey and offered people the chance to connect with me for one-on-one online conversations about ADHD. Today I had my first call with someone from that survey, and honestly? I loved it. There were so many moments where I completely understood what she meant. She talked about constantly losing and forgetting things — one of those “classic ADHD” struggles that doesn’t hit me as hard personally. But the truth is, I’m aware that in my case it’s probably overcompensation. I check everything seven times: keys in pocket, phone in bag, car lights on. My brain basically runs on manual verification mode. One thing she mentioned really stuck with me though: the lack of understanding from people around her. Even her boyfriend thinks adult ADHD isn’t real. And I run into the same thing online all the time. Whenever I post about ADHD on Threads, there’s usually at least one comment along the lines of: “Yeah right, another person blaming ADHD for everything.” I was also at a lecture recently where the speaker made one of those jokes: “Nowadays everyone has ADHD, right?” And honestly, I couldn’t even tell whether he was mocking people like us… or reacting to the flood of trendy self-diagnosed content where someone jokes about forgetting the trash outside because they saw a squirrel on the way back in. The weird thing is: in the Czech Republic, a book about women with ADHD recently won the biggest and most prestigious literary award in the nonfiction category. Awareness is growing. And yet there are still so many people who think ADHD is either fake, overdiagnosed, or just “little hyper boys climbing chandeliers. ”The rise of “fake ADHD” influencer content really isn’t helping either. Have you experienced this too? How do you deal with being labeled — directly or indirectly — as lazy, irresponsible, or someone who’s “just making excuses”? And honestly… how do we get actual ADHD awareness outside the ADHD bubble? Because even if I start making YouTube videos, the algorithm will mostly push them toward people already interested in ADHD — not the people dismissing it in the first place.

This is the first community I joined when I joined Skool back at the end of October. Which feels so far away now! I am a therapist with ADHD and my speciality is ADHD. I joined Skool originally to host my course on ADHD. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I can say that I found a community. I've already made so many great friends on here. Over the last few months, I've been focused on learning Skool and navigating community building. I am a therapist and educator first and an entrepreneur second. It's a bit of a learning curve, but I am slowly figuring it out. During this time, I was withdrawn from most of the communities I joined. I am making an effort to increase my activity in other communities. So you will see me posting more in here. I am all about ADHD Neuroscience, understanding ADHD patterns, and giving people facts and real life strategies that they can use to better manage their ADHD. I truly believe that if you can understand the Why behind ADHD that is the first step to improving symptoms of ADHD. Please reach out with any questions - I am always happy to help!

Watched a client this week and noticed a pattern that's worth naming. He's letting a retainer client steamroll his scope. He's also dealing with two ongoing disputes he can't seem to close out. He's also not sleeping enough, eating like garbage, and skipping his morning routine. That looks like four different problems. It's not. It's the same problem wearing four costumes. If your boundaries leak in one place, they leak everywhere. The version of you that lets a client walk all over your scope is the same version that lets the contractor cut corners, lets the landlord short the deposit, lets yourself skip the workout you said mattered. The good news: This works in reverse, too. Hold the line in one place and it gets easier to hold everywhere. Boundaries are a muscle, not a rule. Pick one place you're going to hold the line this week. Just one. Could be a client conversation. Could be a "no" you've been avoiding. Could be "I'm shutting down at 7pm whether or not the work is done." What's yours? Drop your one line in the comments.
