Hi all and thank you so much for the add to the Group. My name is Peter Ciaccia, mid 40s married for almost 20 years, father of 3 amazing kids! I was in construction for 20 years and had some amazing success then found out it was in business only because that’s when I found out I had ADHD at almost 40. Unfortunately my biggest lack of attention was to my marriage, so after 10 years I made the decision to walk away from everything I built to save my marriage and family and start a new Journey, I moved to South West Florida and me and my wife started a new journey together trying to grow a new business together in a world that I absolutely do not know. So here I am the boomer of all Boomers learning how to use tech and social media to grow a Philanthropic style business model. Kick in the ADHD and total chaos.

I'm gonna real with you guys... Being an entrepreneur with ADHD is fucking hard sometimes. I’m constantly second-guessing my ideas, tweaking my systems, questioning my offer, wondering if I should pivot… or start a whole new business altogether. Just last week, I almost convinced @Rex Loyer we needed to create another offer. But then I remembered... Success doesn't come from having the perfect idea or constant tweaking. It comes from staying with something long enough to let it work. Because every change has a fixed cost in focused energy. Switch your CRM? You lose hours (or days) learning the new one. Switch your offer? You lose 20% of the momentum you’d already built. Think of it this way: You’re pushing a massive boulder up a hill. It’s heavy. It’s slow. Your muscles ache. Then you spot another boulder off to the side that looks a little smaller, maybe smoother, maybe more colorful. You think, “Maybe that one will be easier to push." "If I could just find the right boulder, I can get to the top of this hill and push it down the other side.” So you drop the boulder you’ve been pushing and walk over to the new one. But guess what? It’s just as heavy. Sometimes even heavier. And the worst part? All that effort you spent pushing the first one…is gone. If you didn't maintain it, it starts rolling back down the hill. And now you’re back at the bottom of a new hill, starting from zero again. This time with more fatigue. Here's my point... Entrepreneurship isn't about the big glamorous "I made $1 million overnight" moves. For 99% of people, it doesn't work like that. It's a slow, painful grind over months and years. Without letting shiny object pull you in. I get it - it's pulled me in many times. I've switched businesses a TON. That's why I have people in my corner holding me accountable to sticking to one thing long enough to see it through. Because left to my own devices, my ADHD will pull me in another direction.
