Helps Keep me Focused & Accountable
This is a great community for ADHD Founders. I love the 'Eat That Frog' Sessions where I can show up to work with others, commit to getting something done, and celebrate actually doing the thing I wouldn't probably have done without this community. Bill and Rex are AMAZING! Highly recommended.

Where ADHD Entrepreneurs Actually Build
I joined Focus Founders because I didn’t need more advice—I needed traction and a community that understands how ADHD actually shows up for those of us trying to launch our own businesses. What I found was a group culture that’s generous, direct in a helpful way, and genuinely invested in boosting each other up. The tone is "online family," and the occasional (constructive) competition made it super-easy to show up consistently. I have made more progress toward escaping my 9-5 in the three months since I joined than I did in the previous fifteen years of struggling alone. If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur who wants support that turns into action and a room that feels like real humans supporting one another, then Focus Founders is worth a look.

I enjoy the incredible value but also how fun it is.
I enjoy the incredible value but also how fun it is. It’s one thing to budget and get back on track alone, but to do it in community is another. I can identify with others as well as share what’s working for me.

Thoughtful, informative and supporting community
I’ve really appreciated the quality of the resources inside The Empowered Money Circle. There is clearly a lot of knowledge, care, and intention behind the material, and I feel supported in learning more about my relationship with money. Lindsey is a warm, natural and wonderful person who genuinely wants the best for all of us. The community offers helpful guidance and a gentle approach to topics like budgeting and spending, which I find very valuable. I think it’s a thoughtful and supportive space for anyone wanting to build a more conscious and balanced relationship with money.
