ADHD-ish ™ Blog: Most business advice about ADHD product launch viral growth assumes a linear path: build a product, market it strategically, scale thoughtfully, celebrate. What it doesn't prepare you for is the moment demand outpaces every system you have, every boundary you thought you'd set, and every reasonable expectation you brought to the table. That's the conversation nobody is having—and the one that matters most for neurodivergent entrepreneurs who create from lived experience rather than market research.

Hiring a COO for a small business — or an operations manager, or an online business manager (essentially a really good VA) — is the most reasonable-sounding but fundamentally wrong move I see business owners with ADHD make.

And a significant percentage of the time, it's an expensive way to postpone dealing with the real problem.  

And before you come for me, let me be clear. I'm not anti-operations. I recommend operational hires all the time. But the order matters more than most business owners realize and getting it backwards costs them double.
