We all face the challenge of procrastinating where we let clutter pile up beyond our control. This is especially true with our fellow Neurodiverse, ADHD professionals.  This interferes with our work, business and lives and yet we fail to get organized and get clean.There is a very good reason for this and this is because we need to first declutter our brains.  There is a mental block that is preventing us from confronting this physical clutter.In this episode, I am joined by Kitti Andrews who helps professionals declutter both our minds and physical barriers so they can be more productive in life and business._______________Where you can find Kitti AndrewsDeclutter The BrainDownload your free Guide to 7 Easy Steps to Conquer your Physical & Mental Clutter_____________________Where you can find me:Website: https://www.josephkmuscat.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JosephKMuscatConsultingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/joseph-k-muscat-consultinigTwitter: https://twitter.com/JosephKMuscatYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCa7X1BiEAyMa74Ijp58v0wSocial Media Groups:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12586549/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/neurodiversitytakealeapandtransfoSupport the show

We all heard the saying, “Work on your business and not in your business” The problem is many business owners are in their business they don't know how to work on it, find the resources and tools that would give them the freedom they want. As Neurodiverse entrepreneurs, we are either over-focused, have difficulty transitioning or we just want to focus on our strengths that we can unintentionally distract ourselves from what we need to do.Sometimes we need to nudge in the right direction. A person who can provide an outsider's perspective, look at the big picture and identify the gaps that can free us.I am pleased to introduce you to business coach David Cassesus, who has a unique strategy that will provide you with the map you need._______________Where you can find David CassesusLinkedInWizeba_____________________Where you can find me:Website: https://www.josephkmuscat.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JosephKMuscatConsultingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/joseph-k-muscat-consultinigTwitter: https://twitter.com/JosephKMuscatYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCa7X1BiEAyMa74Ijp58v0wSocial Media Groups:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12586549/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/neurodiversitytakealeapandtransformSupport the show
