What's your goal? Are you ADD focused on becoming financially independent, on making so much money that you never have to worry about money again? That's a great goal, and it can be done, but you really have to go about it the right way.

Here's where the ADD procrastination kicks in.... You're thinking so big that what you want becomes overwhelming and unimplementable.

We have people calling us all the time that say "I wanna be a millionaire this year," and we say, "Great, how much are you making right now?"

They say, "Zero."

"And you want to be a millionaire this year? Okay, fantastic. All you need to do is make $83,333.33 per month starting now. Are you ready to do that?" See how overwhelming that can be? It comes out to just under $4,000.00 a day, seven days a week.

So then we say, "How about we start out with just getting out of debt, and getting stable?"

When you're thinking that I need to make $10,000.00, $20,000.00, $30,000.00, $50,000.00, $80,000.00 a month, that adds to the crisis because you've never done it, and you don't know how.

All we're saying is be kind to yourself as you're doing your work and as you're becoming a millionaire. We have no doubt that that's gonna happen for you, it's not going to happen tomorrow. Because you've got other more important things to worry about right now, and every millionaire starts out this way – you've gotta get stable first. Sometimes people tell us they have a plan.

Tellman learned something about his own plans, and when he was very unsuccessful, though still working very, very hard in everything that he did, when he was very unsuccessful financially, he always made his own plan, and he was really ADD creative. He knew he was smart and he knew he could figure out a way to do what he wanted to do. And that's exactly what he did. He set his ADD hyperfocus to on and worked on figuring out ways to do what he wanted to do.

Now, the problem was every time he figured out a way to do something, there would be something else that he overlooked or hadn't experienced or hadn't learned along the way yet because he just simply didn't have the experience yet. So every time he'd run into one of those things, he'd need to modify and adjust his plan, which took him some time, because every time you need to modify and adjust your plan, you have to slow down, recalibrate, readjust, change your mindset a little bit, re-focus your ADD on what your new plan is, and then move forward. For some people with ADD, this can be daunting and they'll stop right there. Just don't do it!

One thing that Tellman learned was that he needed to stop making his own plans and to start following the plans of others who already accomplished what he wanted to accomplish – at least the first time or two that he tried to accomplish that particular thing. It doesn't matter whether it's talking about getting in shape, eating nutritious food, making more money, changing careers, going to school – whatever it is.

This is the biggest thing.

And then you follow the plan, and then your chances of success become much, much, higher because you don't have to take all that time to run into a problem and recalibrate and figure it out again because most of those problems have already been avoided because you learned from someone who'd already done it.

Never think that your ADD intelligence is a replacement for experience. It doesn't matter how brilliant you are – experience is more brilliant, every single time. If you want to be a millionaire, you need to get stable, financially--first. Then, you have to set your ADD focus to modeling others. If you don't do things that way, your ADD procrastination issue will kick in and you may never reach your goal.
