Why ADHD Owners Crash When Money Systems Change Too Fast (Diane Gardner)
If you've ever tried to overhaul your finances in one weekend only to abandon the system a few days later, you're not alone. According to Diane Gardner, that's exactly why most financial systems fail for ADHD business owners.
Diane Gardner is a Mastery-Level Profit First Professional, certified tax strategist, certified cash flow strategist, and bestselling author who helps home service business owners build stronger cash flow and lasting profitability.
In this conversation with Skye, Diane explains why profit isn't something that's left over—it's something you intentionally build. They explore why ADHD business owners often approach money with an all-or-nothing mindset, how tiny 1% changes outperform complete financial overhauls, and why consistency beats motivation every time.

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
