Finding Copywriting Success with ADHD - Caleb's Story (Episode 281)

About this episode

Caleb shares his journey from teaching to copywriting and how he leverages his ADHD as a strength.

Like many Comprehensive Copywriting Academy students, Caleb was a burnt out teacher looking for a different career. On this Build Your Copywriting Business podcast episode, he’s generously sharing how he made that transition, including how he’s learned to use his ADHD as a strength. Several people in the community have asked about working as a copywriter with ADHD and, whether or not you are managing it yourself, Caleb’s tips are wildly helpful. As he says, he can’t just rely on “feeling” like working, but has to set up his environment so that getting started is the easiest thing to do. And when he’s working, Caleb uses the “sprint” method to avoid the mid-day fog. Listen to hear him explain these tactics—and others (and let us know if you try any!!). -------------- Mentioned in the Episode Caleb’s LinkedIn How to Put Together a Copywriting Portfolio (Even With No Experience) Ep. 37: Improve Your Copywriting Productivity and Professionalism Ep. 237: AI is Going to Take My Job!!! … But Is It Related Links Finding Your Copywriting Flow State BONUS Laser Coaching: Tips for Neurodivergent Copywriters Ep. 256: From Teaching to Copywriting While Facing Life’s Biggest Tests – Joanna’s…
