- I'm not perfect. And you don't have to be either.
I'm not perfect. And you don't have to be either.
I have a serious confession.
I’m not the person I appear to be.
I spend all day preaching (to you and my clients) about ADHD and techniques and strategies.
But if I’m being completely honest with you.
I’m far from perfect.
I still:
↳ doomscroll for an hour here and there.
↳ forget to stick to my routines some days.
↳ get lost in new ideas and “important” projects I won’t finish.
↳ occasionally stay up too late because “I’ll just finish this one thing.”
↳ put off emails until they start to form mountains.
↳ get caught in perfectionism, making sure every detail is “just right.”
↳ treat myself to a cheat meal out with my son.
At the end of the day, I am human.
But whilst I’m guilty of all those things. I do them WAY less than I used to.
I do them in MODERATION.
So yes, those behaviors come out occasionally, but most days I:
↳ keep my phone well away from me during work hours
↳ keep to a super simple routine that gives me a sense of control.
↳ focus on progress, not perfection.
↳ take breaks so I can actually recharge.
↳ get 7+ hours of sleep
↳ and everything else I preach about
and when you add all those things up… the good behaviors WELL outweigh the bad.
and that’s what is important.
You don’t have to be perfect to succeed.
I’ve built a six figure business, I’m in control of my ADHD, and I love my life every single day.
That didn’t happen overnight by being the perfect human.
But instead by compounding more good behaviors than bad ones over time.
So, next time you compare yourself to the gurus online (me included)
Don’t beat yourself up too much.
Remember: Win small battles, and you’ll win the war. Success doesn’t require perfection. It requires persistence.
See you tomorrow,
Ian
📍P.S. Building a life and business you love while navigating ADHD takes time, support, and practical, ADHD centred strategies that actually stick.
If you’re ready to start winning those small battles, reclaim control over your ADHD, and make meaningful progress on your goals, then our 90-Day Accelerator is built exactly for that.
I will guide you every step of the way, working with you to build a life and a business that actually works with your ADHD instead of against it.
It’s a focused sprint toward real results, with 1:1 support, accountability, tailored strategies, and a community that gets you.
Because we work so tightly with everyone on it, there are only 2 seats remaining for November’s cohort of the accelerator and there’s only 2 days left to sign up.
Worried you can’t afford it? You can join us for as little as $100/mo. And I guarantee you’ll make your money back within 90 days - and if you don’t I’ll refund the entire cost of the program.
