How to Break the ADHD Business Cycle

In this solo monologue, Jim Ebbelaar explains the recurring pattern many entrepreneurs with ADHD experience: an initial surge of hyperfocus and excitement for a new idea, followed by a dopamine dip after a week or two that triggers doubt and a desire to pivot to the next idea. He shares his personal ten‑year struggle with this cycle and how he transformed from a chronic procrastinator into the founder of a 7‑figure agency. The key insight he offers is that lasting change comes from an "inside‑out" shift—reworking one’s self‑image, limiting beliefs, and mindset—rather than relying on external productivity tools or hacks. He concludes by inviting viewers to comment "AI" to receive a free AI‑driven self‑assessment that includes short videos and deeper reflective questions to help them understand themselves better.
