from The Business Engine · host Paula Burgess
What if the problem isn't that you're bad at business, but that you're trying to run your business using systems that simply don't work for the way your brain works?In this episode of The Business Engine Podcast, I'm talking about the realities of building and running a business when you're neurodivergent, whether that's ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or simply being someone who thinks and works differently.We explore some of the challenges neurodivergent business owners can experience, including decision fatigue, time blindness, hyperfocus, overcommitting and executive dysfunction—and, more importantly, what you can do differently.I share practical strategies for creating a business that works with your brain rather than against it. We also look at the other side of neurodivergence, the creativity, lateral thinking, empathy, problem-solving and ability to see things differently that can become genuine strengths in business.You don't have to run your business the way somebody else tells you it should be run. The goal is to understand how you work best and build the right people, systems and support around you.If you're ready to build a business that works better for you, visit beyondthemaze.com.au to find out how we can help.
