MenuWhat tools and resources would you recommend for those who have ADHD, who have decided to start a business?
What resources can help for the underside of ADHD (difficulty following through, shiny-object-syndrome, sometimes lack of confidence, etc.)
Answers
You know I have never come across such tools. I did get a chance to work with an entrepreneur who has ADHD, I served as his business adviser. Our setup was that he did not spend time on things unless we talked about it first and I held him to super tight schedules. It workout great! His tool sales business is doing fantastic here in Glendale,AZ.
On another note, I think every entrepreneur suffers from this but we call it drowning in opportunity! Lol.
Best of luck in all that you do!

Unthink Strategy
You should use systems and tools that are intuitive and effectively designed with an emphasis on visual interfaces that minimise 'noise' and what your brain considers 'unnecessary' information . For example , pipedrive is much leaner than salesforce for keeping track of business opportunities . Simplify , simplify , simplify ! For the ADHD entrepreneur , business model canvas is so much better than a traditional business plan . Also surround yourself and delegate to extremely organised people around you . People who understand you and can follow up in your slipstream with organisation and ordered discipline . Visionaries and ideas people often have ADHD and its part of what makes them amazingly different . Happy to discuss if you want more help.
I have had to deal with that problem with myself all my life. Your only hope is practicing concentration on one thing and one thing only. If you continue allowing your mind to wander you will reach a fraction of the potential that you could have reached. With your problem it tells me you have a brilliant mind but uncontrolled it will cause you to have a lot less in life than you where capable of. You need to write what's the one thing you need to do today and follow that only no matter what. And the carrot for your mind is it can have whatever it wants if it will focus for the day. You have to convince your mind that it's in it's best interest and it's true, it's logical. Once your mind really gets use to focusing in one direction this will cause you to make $500 in a day rather than $50 and then it can do whatever it wants with all the money it will co-operate.

How can I start a brainstorming strategy service to help novice entrepreneurs?
I think as others have said, that idea itself may not be quite right and you are looking to us to brainstorm. However, I do know someone who does exactly this, for free. He makes his money by facilitating the ability of others to think outside their proverbial boxes, using what at the core, is basically workshop facilitation. That's an easier sell than 'professional ear' as the market is kind of there already. You don't have to know much about the business to facilitate a workshop or coach per se, as you need to concentrate on the facilitation. Many people like me can't think and facilitate at the same time. :-D Especially if you're too close to the problem. So effectively you get called in ad hoc to facilitate workshops to allow all the firepower in the room to concentrate on the problem at hand. It doesn't mean you can't structure a session where you give advice at certain points or when asked. However, that risks exposure. You can always help by researching after the fact, where the team has found key questions they want answering. Write them on a post it and take them with you. If you become a millionaire off these ideas. I'll take 10% ;)Ethar AlaliEA

How can I learn how to successfully build an online platform/ecosystem for a niche industry?
There is so much to unpack in your question. To best answer, I would need to understand much more about your product, vision, customer base, team, and what you mean by "strategic help." You obviously have some questions in mind that need answering, without more details, I cannot answer those questions specifically. I'd be happy to book a call with you to discuss further. I have a few posts on my website that may help, again, without knowing what you're looking for, it is hard to answer you directly. =) 1. https://www.shaunnestor.com/how-to-find-clients-as-a-freelancer/ (Replace "Freelancer" with whatever title you give your platform) 2. https://www.shaunnestor.com/how-to-build-an-online-business-with-little-to-no-experience/ I've found that those two articles generally give people the next steps they are looking for. Again, feel free to book a call with me, if you'd like to discuss specifics. All the best, -ShaunShaun NestorSN

What does the evolution of a company profile (staff,rev,etc.) look like of growing a tech consulting company from startup to $1M of revenue look like?
Traditionally agencies and consulting firms grow vertically through a pyramid structure adding junior layers and mid level professionals who can be paid at a lower level and then billed back at higher rates to the clients as they scale once the rainmaker fills the pipeline. Another option is to grow horizontally and compensate people for bringing in work thereby gaining leverage through a network effect of casting a wider net. Both ways can work it is a matter of strengths and preferences.Paige Arnof-FennPA
