Welcome back to ADHD-ish, the podcast focusing on the intersection of entrepreneurship, creativity, and the strengths and struggles of ADHD.

Today I’m focusing on some uncomfortable truths that can really make or break your business success: the difference between being ready and merely wishing you were.

Whether you're contemplating a pivot, rebranding your business, changing your service offerings, or even considering a new entrepreneurial adventure, understanding this distinction can save you time, money, and a lot of frustration.

If you’re new here, I’m Diann Wingert, dynamic business strategist, certified coach, and former psychotherapist with over two decades of experience.

I’m passionate about helping driven, creative, and ambitious individuals transform their lives and businesses by providing actionable insights and strategies tailored to their unique challenges, especially those stemming from ADHD.

Through this podcast, I combine my deep expertise with a no-nonsense approach to help you navigate the complexities of business and personal development.

5 Key Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:

Learn how to identify The Wishing Phase - thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck in a perpetual cycle of planning without action.
Discover why reaching a peak pain point can be a powerful motivator for genuine change.
Understand the importance of being willing to push through the discomfort and awkwardness of new beginnings.
Get the scoop on evaluating your practical and emotional readiness for change with a handy self-assessment checklist.
Find out how tiny, daily actions (Micro Commitments) can set you on the path from wishful thinking to real progress.

🤓 Fun Fact from the Episode:

Did you know that collecting endless amounts of information without taking action or implementing them is a form of wishful thinking?

It's called the "tipping point fallacy" – thinking you'll magically 'do' once you know 'enough.' Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work that way!
