Business Building For ADHD Minds
Because traditional business advice wasn’t written for how we actually think
You’ve probably noticed that most business advice assumes your brain works in straight lines. Set goals. Make a plan. Execute consistently. Review quarterly.
If you have ADHD, you already know the problem: your brain doesn’t work that way. And that’s not a deficit to overcome – it’s a different operating system that needs different tools.
I’m Orla – web designer, business strategist, and fellow ADHD entrepreneur who’s been self-employed for 20 years. I work with people building businesses that match how their brains actually function, not how business books say they should.
The ADHD Business Reality
❌ What doesn’t work:
- Rigid business plans that are outdated before you finish them
- “Just be consistent” advice that ignores executive function
- Marketing strategies requiring daily posting on algorithmic timelines
- Productivity systems designed for neurotypical attention spans
- Business models that assume you can context-switch smoothly all day
✅ What does work:
- Clear structure without rigidity
- Variety in daily tasks to maintain engagement
- External accountability and body doubling
- Business models that leverage hyperfocus
- Permission to work with your rhythms, not against them
- Tools and systems that reduce decision fatigue
How I Work
Co-Creation, Not Handoff
I don’t disappear for weeks and deliver a finished website you don’t understand. We work together in real-time, so you learn the system, understand every decision, and maintain full control of your digital assets.
This works especially well for ADHD brains because:
- Immediate feedback – no waiting weeks wondering what’s happening
- Built-in accountability – scheduled sessions mean work actually gets done
- Decision-making support – I help when choice paralysis hits
- Understanding, not just delivery – you know how everything works

Hi, I am Orla
I’m a web designer and business strategist with 20 years of self-employment, an economics degree, and ADHD. I work from rural Kerry, Ireland, as the sole income earner for my family with two young children.
I understand the gap between business advice written by and for neurotypical entrepreneurs and the reality of building a business with an ADHD brain. I also understand the economic pressures of self-employment and the need for sustainable business models that don’t require burning yourself out.
My approach combines:
- Real-world business experience (20 years, not 2)
- Economics lens on sustainable self-employment
- ADHD-informed systems and workflows
- Values-first business building
- Co-creation methodology that works with neurodivergent thinking
