Do you suffer from frustration intolerance? If you're an ADHD entrepreneur, you probably do.

In this episode we're talking all about this issue (which I have a different name for) and helping you get equipped so you know exactly how to handle it, and make more progress in your business.

Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.

And welcome to "The Weeniecast."

The Significance of Frustration Tolerance in ADHD and Coachability

Frustration tolerance can have a massive influence on individuals with ADHD, and their ability to absorb coaching.

In the episode I emphasize the importance of managing emotional dysregulation, which is crucial for personal and professional progress.

You'll understand why this is a priority for tackling once you've heard the full episode but let's just say that this element of emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in shaping your learning behaviors and relationships as an ADHD entrepreneur.

Also, your childhood responses can play a part. These are learned and amplified by educational systems which favor ease over challenge, can sculpt an individual’s lifelong self-assessment and their tenacity when facing adversity.

Persistent Growth from Persistent Challenges

I'm going to take you through some stories that showcase the necessity of frustration as a catalyst in the growth journey.

These stories are tailored to reinforce the notion that the process of learning inherently includes facing and overcoming difficulties.

The good news is, perseverance and adaptability are skills that can be honed, and they're not just innate characteristics.

Oh, and you'll definitely understand why Leonardo da Vinci offers a lot of learning for us ADHD entrepreneurs, when we study his approach to frustration intolerance.
