Diann Wingert- Why ADHD Entrepreneurs Have Too Many Ideas to Finish One
from Gamify Business Tavern Tales · host Paul Pape
Why is having too many ideas actually more frustrating for ADHD entrepreneurs than not having enough? Diann Wingert spent 20 years as a licensed psychotherapist before becoming a business coach, and she's not just working with ADHD entrepreneurs from the outside. She has ADHD herself.In this episode of Gamify Business Tavern Tales, host Paul Pape sits down with Diann, a Focus Forger who knows the creature she calls the Distractor intimately. This monster doesn't attack, it beckons, showing up right when you're making progress and whispering about a better niche, a different platform, a pivot that might finally unlock everything. The paths it shows are real, which is exactly what makes it dangerous. It weaponizes the same pattern-recognition and possibility-generating gifts that make creative entrepreneurs powerful, ensuring nothing ever gets finished. Diann built her Boss Up Breakthrough approach to help ADHD entrepreneurs who are years into their business right-size it, combining strategy with the mindset work that actually makes it stick.This conversation explores how to tell a genuine strategic pivot from just another path to nowhere, why knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different problems with ADHD, and what it looks like to build a business your brain won't get bored with or sabotage. If you've been fighting the Distractor alone, this episode is for you.🎮 CONNECT WITH GAMIFY BUSINESS: Website: https://gamifybusiness.com Take the Quiz: https://gamifybusiness.com/quiz Book a Call: https://oncehub.com/GamifyBusiness60MinCall📚 PAUL'S BOOKS: The Creative Player's Handbook to Business- https://gamifybusiness.com/handbook The Creative Player's Workbook- https://gamifybusiness.com/workbook The Game Master's Guide to Business- https://gamifybusiness.com/game-masters-guide Quit Selling Your Shit!- https://gamifybusiness.com/quit-selling The Bard's Guide to Storycraft- https://gamifybusiness.com/storycraftBusiness is an adventure.
