If you've ever said, "I'm just not ready yet," this one's for you. In this episode of The ADHD CEO, Alyece Smith gets real about the cycle of indecision, self-doubt, and waiting that keeps ADHD entrepreneurs stuck. She unpacks the fear behind delayed decisions, the toll it takes on your business momentum, and how to start building self-trust even when motivation is missing.

From course hoarding to ghosting mentors, Alyece reveals the truth about what these patterns are really costing—and how you can shift from stuck to unstoppable without needing a ten-step plan or "perfect timing." It’s not about doing more—it’s about finally doing it differently.
