Quick peek at what’s in the episode:

How do you go from a teacher with ADHD to a published author? Well Nicole says that a lot of entrepreneur have ADHD. She has been blogging about life with ADHD for 4 years. She really wants to make sure students with ADHD are served and their needs met. It’s what lead her to strike out on her own.

I especially like how Nicole breaks down her process min 9:30. There are steps involved , stages to go through.

One thing I am sure we can all relate with is that plans don’t always pan out. The families original plan included finding a lower cost of living area so that the money would stretch further. Hear about how it all unfolded.

We find out that Nicole had 3 clients before she took the leap. Also how she and her Husband are both entrepreneurs. She speaks to how they balance time and demands.
