ADHD Business Coaching: Week 1-My One-Day Course Creation

Hey there! Welcome to the first issue of my Dopamine to Dollar newsletter – the no-BS behind-the-scenes of my ADHD business coaching journey.

I just came back from an overseas trip, feeling fully refreshed and ready to go.

But honestly? I was still unclear about what to tackle first.

I had a bunch of work for my Little Moppet business – Facebook ad strategies that needed planning – but I just didn’t feel like doing it.

Ready to dive into everything.

But my brain? It said, “No thanks.”

I told myself: “Okay, okay. I’ll just chill for a day or two. Then get back to work.”

When ADHD Hyperfocus Strikes (Thanks to a Random Facebook Ad)

So there I was, just mindlessly scrolling through Facebook when BAM! I got an ad for this course called “Tiny Visual Course.”

And you know how our ADHD brains work whenever we see courses, right? 😂

It was just $25, so I immediately went in and bought it.

And honestly? I was AMAZED. It really spoke to me as an ADHD person because I get so tired watching those long, drawn-out courses with endless modules that go on for hours.

But this was different – short, visual, and perfect for my brain.

And then — the real game changer — it introduced me to the Gamma app.

Oh my god. Gamma.

This thing lets you make slide decks with the power of AI. Like, actual pretty presentations without touching Canva.

I immediately got the pro version ($10/month — totally worth it).

(You can see how it works inside my new “Finish What You Start Toolkit” because I used it there!)

From One Spark to a Whole Damn Fire

Before this, I’d wanted to create a “Finish What You Start” toolkit because my 7-day business revival experiment was insanely helpful.

That experiment helped me understand exactly why I quit businesses. Though I kinda knew the reasons already, doing it publicly forced me to identify the exact friction points.

But after the experiment ended, I just wasn’t feeling the mojo to create this toolkit. I left it sitting there.

Then this Tiny Visual Course came along and holy **** – it was like rocket fuel for my brain!

One Day of Pure ADHD Hyperfocus Magic

The whole original course video was just 30 minutes, but it triggered my hyperfocus like crazy.

I went full ADHD tornado.

1. I researched dopamine.
2. Created my own damn framework (Dopamine to Dollar Framework — yes, it now has a name).
3. Designed a 30-minute ADHD-friendly video.
4. Wrote 4 super-useful printables.
5. Built the landing page.
6. Uploaded the course.
7. Put it on the Everything Page.
8. Informed my team about the new course.

All in one day. ONE. FREAKING. DAY.

I even made slides, visuals, and designed everything exactly how I wanted it. I felt so proud.

ADHD isn’t lazy. ADHD is explosive energy at the right spark.

The ADHD Crash After the Creative Sprint

While creating the toolkit, the images came out EXACTLY how I wanted.

That one hyperfocus day was enough to finish the toolkit, add it to my Everything page, and basically complete a week’s worth of work.

I couldn’t do anything else!

According to the course I bought, they suggested creating one course, then an upsell, and so on. But forcing myself to create an upsell just didn’t feel right.

Then, since my hyperfocus lasted only one day, I crashed for about one and a half days afterward.

During that crash, I had time to think.

Breaking Free from Traditional ADHD Business Coaching

This whole experience made me realize that traditional coaching methods don’t actually work for me. They just create pressure.

When I started this ADHD-focused business after stopping e-commerce client work, I wanted to build it organically – sharing the behind-the-scenes of everything.

But then the imposter syndrome crept in: “You don’t even have an audience who will follow you!”

Still, there were 51 amazing souls who trusted me and followed my 7-day revival experiment. They cheered me on through emails and it meant so much.

I spent a lot of time talking to myself about this.

I even used my “ADHD Clarity Coach” – a custom ChatGPT I created specifically for ADHD brains.

(I know, I know – I’m becoming crazy talking with ChatGPT, but it gives advice that isn’t filtered through traditional methods!)

And you know what it said?

“Those 51 people trusted you.
They showed up.
They followed along and felt inspired.
Even if one person finishes the toolkit and feels seen — that’s a success.”

That changed everything.

My New ADHD-Friendly Business Approach

After all this reflection, I decided to dump the traditional coaching approach.

Instead, my ADHD business coaching strategy is going to be:

1. Create courses when I want to, when I feel like it
2. Focus on this weekly newsletter sharing the BTS of my week
3. Take it from there, because thinking too far ahead makes me tense

I’m still in a coaching program that costs thousands of dollars with a one-on-one sales coach who helped me make 10K per month last year.

She’s amazing, but she’s into high-ticket coaching and doesn’t really understand my ADHD brain.

When neurotypicals hear about our “crazy” tendencies, they often don’t get it. They think we’re just overthinking.

For my “Finish What You Start Toolkit,” I originally priced it at $25. My coach told me it was way too low.

But for an ADHD brain, that price point makes sense!

We’ve all spent so much on courses, and I don’t want my audience spending more than necessary.

I want to be transparent and help people gain clarity without the huge expense I went through.

So for launch week, I’m offering it at just $11 with the coupon code “FINISH” just for 48 hours after publishing this blog post.

Finish What you Start Toolkit 🛠️

In this toolkit, I’ll show you…

• How to work WITH your ADHD brain chemistry instead of constantly fighting against your natural tendencies.
• The strategic “Dopamine Dollar Framework” that turns your hyperfocus periods into maximum profit without burnout.
• How to build “Safe Landing Systems” that keep your business running even when your motivation and interest completely disappear
• The exact process for identifying your unique “Friction Points” so you can prevent project abandonment before it happens
• My secret  approach for automating the boring parts of your business that typically send you running
• Why understanding your unique ADHD pattern is the missing key to completing projects without exhaustion, guilt, or shame.

The Birth of the Dopamine to Dollar Newsletter

After resting for those one and a half days and talking with my Clarity Coach, I figured out my approach.

I want to make money from this ADHD business coaching business, but not through high-ticket offers – just low-ticket, non-pressurizing ways that still deliver results.

So I’ve decided (for now – it might change!) to create this “Dopamine to Dollar” newsletter where you’ll see:

• What I’m doing every week
• Insights into tools and strategies I use
• The real ups and downs of running a business with ADHD

I created an AI image for it see above 👆. My daughter said the green is too overpowering, but I like it!

I’m stopping the habit of asking others if they like my design choices because I’m going to use what I like. Design pressure is too much for me!

How This Newsletter Works

This is the first issue you’re getting now, and hopefully I’ll still be sending Week 1000 someday!

I’m not naming them by month – just Week 1, Week 2, and so on.

I’ll send a short email every week (you can subscribe to it here ). The full breakdown will be here in the blog.

For this post, I dictated the whole thing as a 15+ minute audio into Chat GPT, created a project called “Dopamine to Dollar,” and had it organize my ramblings into a better document.

Then I took that document and turned it into this blog post in my own voice.

The email version might be more concise, but this blog has all the details.

And if you’re not an email person, I have a Telegram channel too. I thought about WhatsApp, but it’s too intrusive and requires phone numbers, while with Telegram you can just join via a link.

Systems I Used This Week #1

Here’s exactly how I used each tool to make this week’s hyperfocus magic possible:

1. Tiny Visual Course – Triggered my hyperfocus and showed me a new approach to course creation (worth the $25!)
2. Gamma App – Used it to create all my course presentations, printable pdfs, printable worksheets visuals and notes instead of Canva – the “ADHD Cliff” visual came out perfectly ($10/month for Pro)
3. OptimizePress in WordPress – Created the sales page using this because it’s the best landing page creation tool – I use it for all my websites
4. Systeme.io – Created and uploaded my entire course here, and built the “Dopamine to Dollar$” newsletter and funnel system all in one platform
5. Chat GPT- I dictated this entire 15+ minute audio into chatgpt, created a “Dopamine to Dollar” project, and asked it to organize my ramblings into a structured document
6. My Custom Clarity Coach – When I crashed after my hyperfocus day, I literally talked to my ChatGPT-powered coach to get clarity on my business direction
7. My “Everything” Page – This is where I added my completed toolkit (I’ll tell you more about this system another time)

These systems worked WITH my ADHD brain instead of fighting against it – I didn’t have to force myself to maintain focus for days on end!
