The Real Reason Your ADHD Mindset Won't Change (Mick Hawes)

You've read the books. You've tried to think your way into a better mindset. But the changes never seem to stick. In this episode, Mick Hawes shares why he believes that's because mindset isn't something you change directly. Drawing on more than 35 years coaching business owners in high-complexity industries like custom home building, he explains why your mindset is the result of the systems, environment, habits, language, and other external influences shaping your daily life. Skye and Mick explore why changing your environment often works better than relying on motivation, how to make decisions based on principle instead of emotion, and the practical daily ritual Mick uses to build momentum without waiting to "feel like it."
