Why I Closed My Business (It Wasn't Failing)

Описание: If you've ever kept pushing a project that wasn't working because you "should" see it through, this one's for you.

I launched the ADHD Growth Lab in Valencia last September. A co-working space built specifically for entrepreneurs with ADHD. Good conversations. Decent interest. But after three months, I'm closing it.

Not because it failed. Because it didn't pull me forward.

This isn't a "pivot" video or a motivational reframe. It's what it actually looks like when a founder with ADHD has to make a hard call and move on.
If you're an entrepreneur stuck on something that's draining you more than it's building anything—watch this before you sink another quarter into it.
