Feeling Stuck in “I’m Not Ready Yet” Mode?

You keep circling the same course, mentor, or offer. It’s in your cart. It’s in your DMs. It’s in your head.

And yet… you don’t move.

You tell yourself:
“I want this so bad, but I can’t invest right now.”
“I’m not ready.”
“What if I spiral again?”

Sound familiar?

This episode is your mirror. It’s not here to shame you. It’s here to show you what that “not ready” loop is costing you—and how to finally move forward, even with ADHD.

“Avoiding the decision doesn’t protect your money. It costs you momentum.” – Alyece Smith

✨ Inside This Episode: Why You Stay Stuck—and How to Shift It

ADHD Makes Decisions Feel Heavier

It’s not because you’re flaky. It’s because your brain is scanning for danger anytime you try to change something. Fear becomes the strategy, not clarity.

“You’ve been burned. You’ve started and spiraled. So now your brain says ‘Let’s wait.’ But has waiting made anything feel safer?”

🔁 The Real Loop: Self-Trust vs. Self-Sabotage

Every time you don’t move, you reinforce the idea that you can’t trust yourself. That you won’t follow through. That you’ll ghost the coach, waste the money, or freeze again.

“It’s not a money problem. It’s a belief problem.”

🚫 Learning Mode Is Not the Same as Growing

ADHD entrepreneurs love to collect info—but rarely follow through. In this episode, Alyece challenges you to break that loop and move from consuming to implementing.

🔥 What You’ll Learn

✅ The sneaky ways fear is running your business (even when you think you’re playing it safe)
✅ How to shift from stuck to starting—without waiting on motivation
✅ Why investing before you feel ready actually builds self-trust
✅ The difference between “I’m not ready” and “I’m scared it won’t work”

💡 Real Talk: The Book Story

In one of the most honest moments of the episode, Alyece shares how she went from unfinished Google Docs to fully completing her autism parenting book in just one week—after six months of circling.

“It took one decision. One burst of momentum. And it changed everything.”

That’s the power of proof. ADHD brains don’t need pressure. They need evidence.
