How much have you ticked off your to-do list today? How many tabs do you have open on your computer right now? How long have those tabs been open? ADD is a super power if given the chance. Being able to jump from topics, answer on-the-spot questions, even work on multiple projects, that's INSANE! It is not for you to feel shame or hide behind a familiar response pattern that has helped you make sense of your reality. Gabor Mate speaks about ADD as a trauma response to dissociation in childhood (paraphrasing here). The point being, you do not have a disorder, you have a super power, and it's important that you see yourself in that light. Starting with closing your tabs today.

Hello beautiful people! It's been such a beautiful time of growth and opportunity, and I thought I'd share some things that have been working: 1. Body Movement: move your body for at least 30 minutes a day. For best results, waking up earlier to train really activates the dopamine and alpha brain waves that fuel your day. 2. Prepping your week ahead of time: if you've got multiple projects on the go (#that'swhywe'rehere...), take time to separate your days, focussing on one project each day. It gives you the opportunity to build depth and make progress instead of working super hard and feeling like you haven't finished anything. 3. Move through the block: This is a big one. Our Alpha brain waves are essentially the muscle we are training. You know when you get to a challenging part of your work and instead of pushing through, you jump into something else? That's exactly the moment to return back to what you were doing and push through. Over time, it will be easier to flow through the work load. 4. TAKE COGNITIVE BREAKS: With ADHD, we will hyper-focus on something without realising how much time has passed. That's great, until you try to get back into the work and your entire system is depleted. Take breaks often, set timers, go for walks, shake your body, stretch. Whatever you do, just give your brain an opportunity to reset. 5. Put your phone away for an hour at a time-it's your biggest alpha brain blocker Using these practices-along with some intention setting and a great attitude-I have been finding a flow that helps me get sh*t done-using my ADHD as a super power! What are some things that work for you to stay focused?

In this new age, our most common form of connection is online. There are pros and cons to this, sure, but I want to focus on the opportunity we have here: I've noticed how inspired people get when speaking to others about what they do. I've seen ideas spark just from sharing experiences and lessons. I've watched strangers turn into business partners simply through the fluidity of new conversations. And so, I want to try do the same here: Please share in the comments what you do and let's connect. Maybe this conversation will unblock whatever needs to flow in your space? I'll start: I am a shamanic practitioner focussed on regulating the nervous system through practices to align the mind, body, and spirit connection. I used to work in the film industry and have over 10 years of experience and knowledge in all things production, editing, etc.. I am currently working on building a reforestation program here in South Africa. I would love to connect x Much love dear friends Michaela x

Last month, we ran a 30-day Scattered to Focused challenge and a ton of you participated! (If you're still making posts - don't stop now! Keep going until you finish your 30 days!) The goal of this challenge was to help people set a goal and make daily progress. And I am happy to report that that goal was a massive success! Just look at what came of this... @Alisha Norris set a goal of challenging herself to break out of her comfort zone every day. And boy did she do it!!! From smiling at strangers to making cold calls to going to the park by herself and dancing out in the open, Alisha really showed us what's possible when you COMMIT to a goal! Check out Alisha's recent success post. She made a breathwork meditation for us all! Great job, Alisha. @Rebecca Bautista set a goal of reaching 100 members in her Skool community, Unmuted Money. She managed to hit 76 members AND she watched most of Alex Hormosi's courses on money models! Even though she didn't hit the 100 member goal, she grew faster than we even did here at Focus Founders! @Sebastian Schroeder set out to land 2 new clients for his coaching business. While he didn't quite land that goal, he did get paid DOUBLE from the one client he did land - which is basically 2 clients! So as far as I'm concerned, he hit his goals. Plus, he got more comfortable pitching to strangers! Huge wins in my eyes! Sebastian is in our Accelerator. What do you think of it, Sebastion? Drop a comment :) 🤩 Tired of doing it alone? Apply to the Accelerator waitlist! Doors open soon.
