If you're a business owner and you have ADHD and this year has started a little wonky for you and you want a little do over, then listen up because I'm doing something completely different this year and I want to share it with you. Oh, and hi. I help ADHD business owners make more money in less time with your distractions by showing you how to discover your profitable niche, how to create an offer that they actually want to buy and spend big money on, and how to market and sell your services and your time without wanting to vomit. I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money mindset coach. Anyway, this year has not gone too planned for me and I'm sure it hasn't for you either. And a little backstory. So a couple days after Christmas, I was felled by the worst viral sinus infection I've ever had in my life. I was literally in bed for seven days. Like, couldn't get out of bed and like walk around for more than a few minutes without needing to just go and lay down and, and nap and, and take care of myself. And for days afterwards, like, I would need like a four hour nap every single day. And it's been just barely a week since I really felt better, but I'm still dragging. Like I still have very little energy. So all that said, I normally do this whole end of year routine and ritual to get myself like in the mindset of saying goodbye to the old year and embracing the new year and really creating strategies and plans for how I want to be and how to how I want to tackle all my different goals and get organized for it. Right? And of course that did not happen this year. I was dying. And since I started feeling better, I really had a hard time because I didn't realize how much I love my end of year ritual and not getting to have it. I felt like I was robbed of like my starting, you know, this whatever the start sound is in races. I'm not athletic at all, but you know what I mean? But then I remembered that it's my life and I make the rules and it's your life and you make the rules too, so we get to make up whatever rules we want to do. So I started casting about for like, okay, do I want to just have January be an in between month? Do I want to start my year in February? And then I was like, well, wait a minute, there's another new year, There's a lunar new year that's coming up and it's on February 9th. So the new year starts on February 10th. And the cool thing about the Lunar New Year, this year in the Chinese zodiac. So the Chinese Zodiac is a 12 year cycle and I'm 36 this year and I was born in Year of the Dragon. And this year year is the Year of the Dragon. So I've just decided this is going to be the Year of the Dragon. It all kicks off on February 10th. And everything that I do up until then will be organizing for this massive, ferociously ambitious year. And I share this with you in case you also got sick or something happened and you didn't get to finish or start your year on your terms. You make up the rules. I just want to remind you, this is your life. This is your calendar. The dates are arbitrary. You get to choose when you want to start. And since I bought a book on this, if you want to put in the comments what your Chinese zodiac is, I can tell you exactly what this year will bring for you and what you should be focusing on. And I'll be creating these videos over the next few days. So go and share with me what your Chinese zodiac is. If you're not sure, you can look it up and I won't know. Anyway, happy almost New Year.
