Katie McManus shares three signals she's spotted over 6.5 years running her business that might hold you back from six figures. The first: trauma, especially the chronic gaslighting people with ADHD face in neurotypical environments. She's clear this doesn't mean trauma stops success, just that it can get in the way.

There are three things that I have discovered in the last six and a half years of me running my business that tell me that someone is not going to be able to build a multiple six figure business. The first of these I'm going to be very clear as I say it is trauma and I'm not saying that if you've ever experienced trauma in your life that you're going to be unable to be successful. That is so far from the truth. I also want to acknowledge that if you have ADHD you've lived in our world which I mean unless you're an alien listening to this, everyone has. Life has been inherently traumatic for you. The amount of gaslighting that we experience as people with ADHD just growing up in a world that's designed for neurotypical brains telling us that what do you mean this should be easy, we'll just try harder. Oh just give it more time, just do this, just do that. That is inherently traumatizing.
