00:00:00 Dr. Lola Day discusses the statistics of ADHD individuals starting businesses and the challenges they face due to lack of consistency. Dr. Day, a Pediatric Cardiologist, coach, and founder of LLY tasking, shares her personal experience of gratitude and self-reflection during her 40-day challenge. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing the unique wiring of ADHD brains and turning perceived weaknesses into strengths, using the analogy of Superman and his vulnerability to distraction as a metaphor.

00:05:00 Dr. Day emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting ADHD as a part of one's identity rather than a hindrance. She emphasizes that ADHD is often misconceived and that individuals with ADHD may have developed strategies to cope without realizing it. Dr. Day also mentions that ADHD tendencies can be noticed at a young age, but intelligent individuals with ADHD may go undiagnosed until their strategies no longer work. She shares her own experience of being diagnosed during medical school and how she had always known she needed to overstudy to compensate for her ADHD symptoms. Dr. Day encourages women to recognize if ADHD has always been a part of their lives and if their strategies for coping are no longer effective, it may be time to seek a diagnosis.

00:10:00 Dr. Lola Day discusses the importance of identifying and diagnosing ADHD for individuals who may be experiencing symptoms but are unsure of the cause. She emphasizes that comparison with others can be detrimental and that proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Regarding the question of whether it's better to medicate an eight-year-old child diagnosed with ADHD or focus on skills and lifestyle changes first, Dr. Day advocates for an individualized approach, suggesting a three-prong approach of skills, pills, and lifestyle changes. She believes that early intervention is essential, but the specific course of action depends on the severity of the symptoms and the child's response to various interventions.

00:15:00 She shares her personal experience of raising a child with ADHD and the strategies she has implemented to help her daughter succeed without relying on medication. She emphasizes the importance of creating structures and making homework time enjoyable. However, she acknowledges that medication may become necessary in the future, depending on the child's progress. Dr. Day also discusses the benefits of ADHD coaching and lifestyle changes, such as proper sleep, diet, and limiting screen time. She reflects on her own diagnosis with ADHD and how it led her to start Lolly Tasking, her organization and productivity coaching business, in 2019 while still working as a full-time Pediatric Cardiologist. Dr. Day explains that her ADHD diagnosis did not define her intelligence or abilities and that she uses her experiences to help overwhelmed moms and clients manage their own ADHD.

00:20:00 In this section, Dr. Lola Day shares her personal experience of living with ADHD and how she turned it into an opportunity to help others. She started speaking openly about her condition and inspiring others to embrace it, drawing parallels between ADHD and being left-handed in a right-handed world. Dr. Day emphasizes the importance of accepting ADHD and learning to work with it rather than fighting against it. She also discusses her dual passions of being a Pediatric Cardiologist and helping those with ADHD, and the individualized coaching methods she uses to help her clients manage their ADHD through systems and lifestyle changes.

00:25:00 Dr. Day discusses the importance of implementing systems to help individuals with ADHD achieve their goals. Systems, according to Dr. Day, include strategies, the right environment, and support. By identifying and putting in place specific operating procedures, individuals can create a regimented routine that reduces the need for constant thinking and decision-making. Dr. Day provides an example of creating a system for children, focusing on homework, and emphasizes the importance of delegation and rewards to prevent overwhelm. She also mentions the use of protocols in medicine as a comparison to the importance of systems in everyday life.

00:30:00 She then discusses the importance of creating systems and protocols for productivity, especially for individuals with ADHD. She emphasizes the need to write down tasks and deadlines to avoid wasting time and becoming overwhelmed. Using her real estate business as an example, she explains how checklists and supervision help ensure tasks are completed efficiently. Day encourages women, in particular, to be more project managers or CEOs of their lives and delegate tasks to others. She also mentions that people with ADHD are more likely to start businesses but less likely to succeed due to inconsistency and lack of structure. To help address these challenges, she introduces the Doctors and Dollars 5-day Financial Challenge, a free presentation offering expertise and knowledge to build a solid financial foundation.

00:35:00 Dr. Lola Day uses the analogy of a track and field race to describe the challenges faced by business owners with ADHD. She explains that these individuals can start strong but often struggle to finish tasks due to distractions. Dr. Day suggests solutions such as delegating tasks, building protocols, and hiring virtual or personal assistants to help business owners cross the finish line. The speaker shares her personal experience of accepting her weaknesses and hiring help, and emphasizes the importance of understanding one's strengths and weaknesses for effective cost management. She also mentions her own business, which provides virtual assistant services, and encourages individuals with ADHD to pursue their passions and build businesses around them.

00:40:00 In this section, Dr. Lola Day shares the origin story of her virtual assistant (VA) company, Afre VA Hub. She had long advocated for getting a VA and helped others find one, but during a trip to Nigeria, she discovered a pool of talented individuals with degrees who were unemployed. Seizing the opportunity, she started the company to connect these VAs with businesses in need. Realizing the challenges of managing international VAs, especially for those with ADHD, she implemented a manager system to oversee the VAs. Afre VA Hub vets candidates, provides project trials, and delivers two top candidates for interview. The company has been successful in creating opportunities for both the business owners in the US and the VAs and their families in Nigeria. Dr. Lola Day, as the Chief Visionary Officer, delegates 95% of the work and focuses on the impactful aspects of the business.
