The All-Or-Nothing Trap: Why ADHD Entrepreneurs Struggle With Consistency

 Ever feel like you’re either ALL IN or completely checked out?

One day, you’re hyper-focused, knocking out your to-do list like a machine.

The next day? You’re overwhelmed, avoiding everything, and promising yourself you’ll “start fresh on Monday.”

🚀 You’re either doing EVERYTHING… or NOTHING.

This is called the all-or-nothing trap, and if you have ADHD, it’s probably the #1 thing keeping you stuck.

Let’s break down why this happens and, more importantly, how to break free from it.

Why ADHD Entrepreneurs Struggle With Consistency

ADHD brains aren’t wired for steady, predictable motivation. Instead, we thrive on novelty, urgency, and dopamine.

But when those things aren’t present, we fall into one of three common traps:

😵‍💫 Dopamine Crashes

When something is new and exciting, your brain gives you a dopamine boost, making it easy to start.

But once the novelty wears off, that dopamine drops—and so does your motivation.

This is why you:

• Get excited about a new project and then lose interest halfway through.
• Start working toward a goal and suddenly feel “meh” about it.
• Feel like you should want to keep going, but you just… don’t.

😩 Perfectionism Paralysis

If you can’t do something perfectly, your brain sees it as a failure—so you avoid it entirely.

This is why you:

• Wait for the “perfect time” to start.
• Procrastinate on projects because they feel too big.
• Feel like if you can’t do everything today, you might as well do nothing.

🚀 Task-Switching Overload

ADHD brains crave novelty. When we hit a boredom wall, we jump to something new.

This is why you:

• Start 5 projects and finish none.
• Jump between tasks but never feel like you’re making progress.
• Get distracted by a new idea instead of following through on your current one.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

The good news? There’s a way to break this cycle.

How to Escape the All-Or-Nothing Trap

The secret isn’t trying harder. It’s working WITH your ADHD brain, not against it.

Here’s how:

✅ 1. Use a Flexible Goal-Setting Method

Most ADHD entrepreneurs fall into the all-or-nothing trap because their goals don’t allow for flexibility. Instead of feeling like you either succeed or fail, you need a system that adapts to your energy levels.

✨ Inside the 6-Figure Show Up Formula, I teach a simple, ADHD-friendly goal-setting method that removes the all-or-nothing pressure—so you can stay consistent, no matter how you’re feeling that day.

✅ 2. Set Smaller, Achievable Targets

If something feels overwhelming, your brain will avoid it.

Break your goals into tiny, bite-sized tasks.

Instead of saying, “Launch my offer,” break it down into:

• Write the first draft of my sales page.
• Pick a launch date.
• Send 1 email.
• Post 1 teaser.

Small wins keep your momentum going.

✅ 3. Build a Routine That Works for YOUR Brain

Forget what productivity gurus say. Rigid routines don’t work for ADHD brains.

Instead, design a flexible system that adapts to your energy levels.

Ask yourself:
➡️ What time of day do I feel most focused? Work during those hours.
➡️ What tasks feel easiest to start? Do those first.
➡️ What drains my energy? Minimize or outsource those things.

A system that works for you = consistency that actually lasts.

You Don’t Have to Stay Stuck in the All-Or-Nothing Cycle
