If you’re a neurodivergent entrepreneur who is making more than $10k monthly in revenue, but each month you sit and ask yourself, “Where did all that money go?” Then keep reading.
You’re about to see what the problem is and how to fix it.
It’s really frustrating to know how smart you are, to turn those ideas into income, but at the end of the day, you have no clue where to even start with your finances.
That polarity of “I’m so capable and somehow… I’m not” is exhausting.
Each month your bank account fills with paid invoices and deposits, but by the end of the month, it’s all gone.
You stare at the dollar amount in your bank account and you just don’t know how you can make so much and it’s disappeared faster than a Houdini card trick in a few short weeks.
It makes it impossible to invest, to get more support. You don’t know how much to pay yourself, and forget about saving for taxes or larger purchases both business and personal.
But here’s what I’ve found after working with more than 50 neurodivergent entrepreneurs over the past several years.
Most neurodivergent entrepreneurs are not financially supported. Even the simple things like having your transactions categorized into income or expenses, most times you don’t have that.
And even more, you need help with the ENTIRE financial side of your business.
But when you try to get help, they immediately ask you questions about your numbers that you don’t even know where to begin to answer.
What I noticed is my clients aren’t just battling entrepreneurship or making more money - they have executive dysfunction that makes money tasks 10x harder or even impossible to do.
For example, a lot of neurodivergent entrepreneurs go over and beyond for their client work. We have the capacity to do that because we love the work that we do and hyperfocus on it, and being able to do that is part of what has made us so successful in the first place.
But on the flip side, we have our weaknesses too. And neurodivergents don’t have excuses, they have legitimate reasons why things are harder or impossible for us to do.
Something that seems as simple as sitting down to review your transactions once a month turns into this:
You have to remember to do it every month (working memory & time management).
You have to remember to stay within a budget and not buy the sparkly new course or product that will 100x your income (self-control).
You have to set up & follow the same system month after month (flexibility & organization).
And let’s say you remember you need to do it, but actually doing it is a whole other executive functioning skill, task initiation.
Basically, the current financial industry doesn’t account for neurodiversity - it doesn’t care whether you have ADHD or dyscalculia or autism.
It’s spreadsheets or you’re bad with money.
It’s financial goals that are always accomplished or you’re just not trying hard enough.
And then you start to feel like you’re the problem.
So let me be clear - YOU are not the problem here.
In fact, you’re not bad at money despite hearing that from the world around you so much you’ve internalized it as just part of who you are.
The problem is the rigid financial systems and advice that doesn’t bend to your capacity, weaknesses, and strengths. They were designed for people who are neurotypical.
And there’s a better way to do money.
It’s called The Together System, and it’s the only way I’ve seen so far designed to support neurodivergent brains with the most complex, innovative, important, and ignored part of their business - their money.
It’s how I take my clients from being “bad” at money to knowing exactly what to pay themselves, and how to feel regulated, steady, and safe with their cash so they become a profit prophet of their business.
But don’t just take my word for it.
