Jeff Rice: ADHD and Entrepreneurs

Does this sound familiar? You have big dreams and goals but struggle with planning and follow-through due to ADHD. You’ve been told to simply try harder or just focus, but despite your efforts, you still feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and stuck. It’s time to break free from these ineffective actions and discover practical strategies to overcome your challenges and achieve success.

About Jeff Rice:

Jeff Rice is an Executive ADHD Coach, entrepreneur, CrossFit coach, and gym owner. His mission in life is to have a positive first-order impact on the lives of adults with ADHD. His upcoming book, “Your Future ADHD Self: An ADHD-friendly Guide to Planning and Goal Setting” will be published in August 2023 and addresses the common challenges that ADHD adults face in creating an intentional life.

In this episode, Jennie and Jeff discuss:

  • Mastering Adult ADHD Challenges
    Vast numbers of adults live with undiagnosed or untreated ADHD due to a lack of awareness and understanding about the condition in the past. Challenges such as chronic forgetfulness and high distractibility often disrupt the ability to achieve life goals and maintain healthy relationships. 
  • Embracing Adaptive Behaviors for ADHD
    Adults with ADHD often need to adopt adaptive behaviors to manage their symptoms and achieve their objectives. This process requires a deep understanding of their own brain wiring and a willingness to make a consistent effort. 
  • Leveraging Tools for ADHD Management
    Embracing the right tools can be a game-changer for adults struggling to manage their ADHD. Resources such as Google Calendar can provide support in organizing schedules, reducing the mental burden of planning. Tagging and searching important emails rather than striving for inbox zero can also lead to better time and energy management. 

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Overcome Adult ADHD challenges with expert coaching.
  • Embrace adaptive behaviors for thriving with ADHD.
  • Discover powerful tools for managing ADHD effectively.
  • Develop your personalized ADHD-friendly playbook for success.
  • Embrace the ADHD mindset and achieve self-acceptance.

“QADHD people think multi-directionally, whereas non-ADHD people tend to think more linearly. So we’re going to come up with creative solutions. We’re going to spot potential risks and problems that other people won’t come across until they get there.”
