Podcast 214
Do you ever say, “I really should do X?” If you want to bring certain habits into your life, you must create space. In order to create space, you need to get rid of things that are not serving you first. On today’s podcast, we talk with Geoff Girvitz about working with your ADHD to build focus and calm.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How people with ADHD have traits that lead to successful entrepreneurship
- Being a proponent of systems over will power
- The term ADHD – It is vague and not a good description
- Clarifying the importance of tasks by using contrasting questions
- How you can become more present in your life and business
- Having kids is a great filter to understand what is really important in life
- Creating more bandwidth by getting rid of unnecessary stress
