    As we approach 2026, many neurodivergent entrepreneurs are planning to build courses, create content, launch products, scale communities, and show up on every platform. But here's the truth: you can't do all of it at once, and you definitely can't do it alone.

    • The power of quality over quantity for ADHD entrepreneurs
    • Five essential non-negotiables for 2026 success

  • 193: Forget the Trends: 5 Real Predictions for ADHD Entrepreneurs in 2026
    Dec 16 2025

    Full Show notes Here: https://linkly.link/2KK1Z


    Tired of prediction fatigue? These 5 predictions for 2026 focus on what ADHD entrepreneurs actually need: sustainable systems, authenticity, and self-knowledge.

    Prediction fatigue is real. AI this, recession that, new platforms, algorithm changes...everyone's telling ADHD entrepreneurs what to pay attention to, and it's overwhelming. But here's what most people are missing: the biggest trend that matters to neurodivergent entrepreneurs in 2026 isn't about the market at all.

    In this episode, Alyece Smith cuts through the noise and shares the five predictions that actually matter for ADHD entrepreneurs in 2026. Spoiler alert: none of them are about the latest social media platform or AI tool.

    The entrepreneurs who thrive aren't the ones chasing every trend—they're the ones who understand themselves. While everyone else is looking outward at market changes and competitors, successful ADHD entrepreneurs are looking inward, asking: How does my brain work? What's my energy pattern? What actually matters to me?

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why prediction fatigue hits ADHD brains harder (and how to filter the noise)
    • The hidden danger of "more, faster, bigger" thinking for neurodivergent entrepreneurs
    • Why the ADHD brain is actually BETTER at filtering trends than neurotypical brains
    • How constant micro-adjustments destabilize your business
    • The truth about AI, automation, and shiny object syndrome
    • Five real predictions for 2026 that focus on YOU, not the market
    • Why authenticity is becoming the new productivity
    • How community building is your competitive advantage
    • The revolution of unmasked ADHD entrepreneurship

    Alyece shares personal stories about burning out from late-night hyper-focus sessions learning every new tool, and how she discovered that sustainable success comes from mastering fundamentals...not chasing trends.

    This episode is for ADHD entrepreneurs who are tired of feeling behind, overwhelmed by predictions, and ready to build a business that works WITH their brain instead of against it.
