Katie McManus (business strategist and money-mindset coach) urges business owners—especially those with ADHD—to consistently post about their business online because potential clients can't pay for services they don't know exist. She compares online posts' reach (TikTok/LinkedIn views) favorably against door-to-door outreach, frames posting as low-cost and high-impact, and offers a 30-minute "generate income strategy" call as a next step.

If you're a business owner and you're having a hard time showing up for your business online, then I want you to remember this. No one else is going to do this for you. At least not until you're making enough money that you can hire someone else to do this kind of stuff for you. Hi. I help ADHD business owners make more money in less time with fewer distractions. I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach. And if you want to have a successful business, you have to remember that you cannot be a secret and a success at the same time. Because for you to be in business, you have to have paying clients. And for you to have paying clients, there have to be your ideal clients out there that at least know that you exist. And how are they going to find out that you exist and that you can help them unless you show up online for your business? I mean, the alternative here is that you can go door to door. You can stand on a street corner with a big sign that you can spin around while you're wearing, like, one of those, like, fancy dancing, noodling things. And I don't know how fast you can walk, how fast you can knock, and how fast you can talk to people if they answer the door and want to talk to you. But you know when you first start on TikTok and maybe you get 200 views, that's still more than you can talk to. If you go door to door, a post on LinkedIn where you get 5,000 views and maybe 20 comments and 40 likes, still more people than you can talk to if you go door to door or stand on a street corner. Also, you'll look a lot less crazy because those things are nuts. And I know posting about yourself and your business is super scary the first couple dozen times you do it. The only way to get over that fear is to stop being a weenie about it and just do it. Also, it's free. Like, posting to social media is one of the best things that we've ever invented because you can literally promote your business for free to thousands, if not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people every single damn day. And if you're letting a little fear hold you back from taking advantage of that, I'm sorry, but this business thing might not go your way. And I know you can be braver. And if you need help, if you're not sure how to do this and you just want to be able to do it correctly and not waste time, then here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to my bio and I want you to click on the link and then I want you to click on the generate income strategy call and you're going to book a call with me. This is going to be 30 minutes. We're going to talk about your big juicy dream for your business. We're also going to assess what you're getting stuck on while you're trying to figure that this out on your own.

If it's not a fit, then I will point you in the direction of some resources that will be massively helpful to you and your success. But I want you to promise me right here, right now that you're not going to be a weenie about posting about your business anymore. Deal. Now, like and follow, if you found this helpful.
