About Me: My Story with ADHD
Welcome to The Work at Home Blogger!
Hi, I’m Ana, and I’m an entrepreneur navigating the exciting yet challenging world of business with ADHD. I’ve always struggled with focus, procrastination, and distractions—but I believe these challenges don’t have to define us or our success.
Like many of you, I’ve often felt overwhelmed and lost when trying to juggle multiple tasks, especially when running my own business. My ADHD makes everything a little more complicated, but it also gives me a unique perspective, creativity, and an unshakable drive to find new ways to succeed.
I started this blog to help people just like me—entrepreneurs with ADHD who want to build a successful business but feel like their brain is constantly working against them. Here, you’ll find practical tools, productivity tips, mindset shifts, and real-life insights as I share my personal journey toward overcoming ADHD challenges and building a business that fits my needs.
I believe that with the right strategies, ADHD can be a strength rather than a hindrance, and that’s the message I want to share with you. Whether you’re looking for ways to boost focus, deal with procrastination, or just need someone to relate to, I’m here to help.
If you’re ready to take control of your entrepreneurial journey and turn your ADHD into an asset, I invite you to join me as I test out different strategies and share what works (and what doesn’t). Together, we’ll build a business that feels like a true reflection of who we are—ADHD and all.
My Journey Hasn’t Been Without its Hurdles.
As an introvert who prefers the comfort of my own space, I’ve faced my fair share of mental health challenges, including burnout, anxiety, and financial stress due to my impulsive thinking. These struggles have taught me the importance of prioritizing mental wellness and mindful budgeting, especially in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship.
Here at The Work at Home Blogger, I’m committed to providing practical advice, resources, and inspiration to fellow entrepreneurs who are navigating similar challenges. Whether you’re seeking tips on launching a business with limited funds, strategies for maintaining mental wellness while working remotely, or insights on budgeting for success, you’ll find it all here.
I believe in the power of authenticity and vulnerability, so I’m dedicated to openly and honestly sharing my experiences. Putting myself out there is not always easy, but I know that by sharing my story, I can create a supportive community where others feel seen, heard, and empowered to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever received came from my supervisor. When I confided in her about the struggles I face with ADHD, she told me, ‘ADHD is my superpower.’ At first, I wasn’t sure what to make of it, but over time, I’ve come to see how ADHD can be a strength. It gives me creativity, energy, and the ability to see possibilities others might miss. Now, I’m on a mission to help others embrace their ADHD as a superpower too.
There is a Light at End of Tunnel
Learning new skills has never been easy for me. As someone with ADHD, my mind is always jumping from one idea to another, making it incredibly hard to focus or stick with one thing long enough to master it. For years, I struggled in school, often feeling “dumb” because my teachers and even family didn’t understand what was going on. I changed majors multiple times in college, never really knowing what I was good at or what I wanted to pursue. This left me feeling lost, with little confidence in myself.
As an adult, without a degree or any specialized skills, I decided to take a leap and start my own online business. And even though I still haven’t reached the success I hoped for, I’m proud of what I’ve achieved so far. I’ve made money through affiliate marketing, and that’s a huge step. But the reality is, it’s still not as consistent as my weekly paycheck. I’ve come to realize that success doesn’t always happen overnight, and consistency takes time, especially when ADHD is part of the equation.
But what I’ve learned is this: ADHD is not something that has to hold me back. It can actually be a source of creativity and energy if I learn how to channel it. Even on the hard days, I remind myself that every little step I take is progress. And that’s why I’m here, sharing my journey with you—because if I can keep going, even with all the obstacles I face, I know you can too.
My Plans to Pivot This Blog and Why I am Changing Routes
There are a few things I have in mind for this blog. I came to the conclusion that this website is meant as a resource for y’all. I learned from watching YouTube videos and TikTok how many of you want to start a business with a low budget or have to deal with mental health such as depression, anxiety, and fears and struggle daily to open up due to fear of being judged.
I deal with these things in my life. It’s something that I carry with me, and it’s heavy. I am no longer going to be posting blog posts to promote affiliate links. This website was only an “affiliate marketing” website. That is no longer the case.
Please bear with me as I make this change. I am changing not just the look but also a few posts. Pivoting is not easy, but is something I must do.
My end goal for this blog is to discuss more about things that matter, such as mental health, budgeting, and starting a business, and no longer about just making money.
What’s most important in life is to care for our wellbeing, not just our pockets. So, I will talk about why having a mental health check is important. It is something I believe is crucial to keep in check. Just like we take care of our bodies, teeth, and our pockets. Mental health needs TLC too.
It’s for our well-being after all.
Taking care of our mental health is important, especially when running a business or even if you’re a remote worker. Even if you’re not working, mental health is something we can no longer ignore.
It’s why I decided to include mental health topics (coming soon) because I deal with this daily. And I know that I am not the only one struggling with this.
I will also add topics about budgeting and saving money because these are my personal struggles when running a business. I will share my journey with you as I am dealing with this.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s embrace the power of mindful budgeting, prioritize our mental wellness, and build businesses that align with our values and aspirations.
Warmly,
Anita
