Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋

I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪

...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!

It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.

I worked the 80+ hour weeks for years to reach the elusive "6-figures per year" goal.

But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son in 2018, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.

So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!

For the past 5+ years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?

For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.

She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.

Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.

She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.

What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.

Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

Testimonial from Huguette Charles, sharing how Steph Blake helped her find her true purpose and provided transformative business guidance in a supportive mastermind, resulting in clarity and belief in her ability to build her dream business.

Embracing Neurodiversity in Entrepreneurship: A Journey to Success with Michael Regina

September 29, 20244 min read

"Be in the moment and try to remember that worrying about the future doesn't make sense." - Michael Regina

As entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves on unique paths filled with challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons. One of the most powerful aspects of this journey is the diversity in our experiences and how they shape our approach to business. Recently, I had the honor of hosting Michael Regina on The Simple Business Show, and his insights on being a neurodivergent entrepreneur were nothing short of enlightening.

Here are a few takeaways from the conversation:

Understanding Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variations in the human brain that affect cognition, learning, and behavior. Individuals who are neurodivergent may experience conditions such as ADHD, autism, OCD, and anxiety. It's essential to recognize that neurodiversity is not a deficit; rather, it's a spectrum of differences that can lead to unique strengths and perspectives.

During our conversation, Michael shared his personal experiences with clinical depression, OCD, and social anxiety. As someone who has navigated both the challenges and advantages of being a neurodivergent entrepreneur, he shed light on how these experiences have played a significant role in his journey.

The Power of Embracing Differences

While the conventional workspace can often feel limiting, entrepreneurship offers a canvas of possibilities where individuality is celebrated. Michael emphasized how neurodivergent traits, often viewed negatively, can be transformed into strengths. For instance:

  • Attention to Detail: Many neurodivergent individuals have a keen eye for detail, making them exceptional problem-solvers who can create thorough and unique solutions.

  • Innovative Thinking: Embracing unconventional perspectives can lead to innovative ideas that set businesses apart in their respective industries.

  • Empathy and Connection: Personal experiences with mental health challenges often enhance empathy, allowing neurodivergent entrepreneurs to connect deeply with clients, partners, and audiences.

Nurturing Mental Health

One of the critical takeaways from my conversation with Michael was the importance of prioritizing mental health in our entrepreneurial journeys. Here are a few strategies that can help:

  1. Open Communication: Be open about your challenges and needs with your team and clients. Creating a culture of transparency fosters understanding and support.

  2. Coping Mechanisms: Develop strategies to manage anxiety and stress. Whether it’s mindfulness practices, journaling, or taking a moment to breathe, find what works best for you.

  3. Set Boundaries: Recognize your limits and don’t hesitate to say no to opportunities that may overwhelm you. Protecting your energy is vital for long-term success.

  4. Seek Support: Surround yourself with a community that understands and supports your journey. Whether it’s through networking groups or online communities, connection is key.

Final Thoughts

Our differences make us unique, and embracing neurodiversity in entrepreneurship can lead to remarkable outcomes. As we continue to support one another on this journey, let’s remember that every story matters. Whether you identify as neurodivergent or simply have your own challenges to navigate, recognize that you can create a thriving business by harnessing your strengths.

I encourage you to listen to my conversation with Michael on The Simple Business Show for more insights and inspiration. Together, let’s continue breaking barriers and redefining success in the entrepreneurial world.

For more updates, tips, and inspiration, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter and follow me on social media.

Let’s keep the conversation going!

Warmly,

Steph Blake
