Just Start!
Starting your creative process as an ADHD entrepreneur can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with a blank page. Whether you're brainstorming business ideas, developing a product, or crafting your brand's story, that initial step often feels like a huge hurdle. But the key is simply to start—just begin, even if your thoughts seem messy or incomplete. The first draft is rarely perfect, but it's essential. Once you begin, ideas will start to flow. The hardest part is pushing past the fear of not having everything figured out from the beginning.
A practical way to get started is by asking yourself key questions about your project. What problem are you solving? What does success look like for you? Is it about creating a bold new solution, or refining an existing one? By breaking down your idea into smaller, manageable questions, you begin to shape your vision. For example, if your product is meant to streamline workflows, ask yourself: What pain points does it address? How does it make life easier for users? Each question helps to clarify your direction and push through the starting block.
From there, your focus shifts to the "who." Who are you serving? What do they need, fear, or aspire to? Your product or service isn't separate from the world it exists in—it's shaped by the needs of your audience. Is your target customer a busy professional struggling to stay organized, or a creative mind looking for tools to enhance their process? The more you understand your audience, the more grounded and authentic your solution will feel.
Once you have clarity on your vision and your audience, you can think about the bigger picture—how does your product or service evolve, and what’s the next step? Business development, much like worldbuilding, involves layering decisions that build on one another. As your project grows, one idea leads to another, and before you know it, you're crafting strategies, solving challenges, and building something dynamic.
It's crucial to understand that every question you ask about your project, your audience, or your strategy is part of the process of building something bigger. Each step forward brings clarity, even if the path feels chaotic at times. Allow your ideas to evolve naturally without expecting all the answers at once. ADHD often brings bursts of creativity and exploration—lean into that.
Ultimately, the most important step is starting. Even if your first draft feels rough or disorganized, it's the foundation of something greater. Every question you ask, every idea you explore, contributes to the process. So embrace the beginnings, trust that each step leads to the next, and watch as your vision comes to life.
