Welcome to another episode of ADHD-ish, where we explore the intersection of business ownership and the strengths and struggles that come with ADHD tendencies. One of the uncomfortable truths about being self employed, whether you’re a consultant, creative, coach or independent professional is the reality of rejection. I’m joined for a deep conversation on the topic by Alice Draper, host of the podcast "My Rejection Story" and the founder of the podcast guesting company, Hustling Writers. She’s on a mission to make publicity more accessible by reframing the experience of rejection. We'll touch on the nuanced fears of rejection that even successful individuals face, the power of tapping into deep personal motivation, the importance of honest feedback from trusted sources, and accountability. Whether you're stepping into a new venture or coping with setbacks, this conversation is filled with wisdom to help you understand and navigate rejection with grace and determination.🎙️ Episode Highlights:Conquering the fear of rejection: Practical strategies for building your "rejection resilience muscle."The role of cultural conditioning in risk-taking, especially for women.Why knowing your "why" can fuel risk-taking and resilience Real-life anecdotes that illustrate the power of community support in overcoming setbacks.Connect with Alice Draper:Free podcast pitch template and guide: https://hustlingwriters.com/template/ Podcast: https://hustlingwriters.com/podcast/ Website: https://hustlingwriters.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alice-m-draper/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alicedraper/ The two most common reasons business owners struggle are: They are doing too much and fear of “putting themselves out there.” I have two openings for my signature coaching program for ADHD-ish solopreneurs, The Boss Up Breakthrough which turns your hidden gem into a stand-out, sought-after, profitable business based on your unique brilliance.
