Author of *Entrepreneurship with ADHD*. An honest, practical talk for entrepreneurs who know exactly what they need to do but just can’t seem to get around to it.

Many entrepreneurs aren’t held back by a lack of knowledge. They know what needs to be done. They just don’t get around to it. Arvid de Windt knows this from personal experience: he’s been an entrepreneur since 2006, has ADHD himself, and wrote the book *Entrepreneurship with ADHD: Peace of Mind, Control Over Your Workweek* (2026).

In his talk, he candidly discusses the toll a cluttered mind takes on an entrepreneur and how to regain control. No theory—just relatable examples from his own business and his work as a business mentor. Your audience will go home with a more accurate understanding of why entrepreneurship sometimes feels so overwhelming—and with something they can put into practice the very next day.

Topics that may be covered:

- You’re not lazy—your mind is cluttered
- Hyperfocus on the wrong things
- Planning for people who’d rather not plan
- Why that one project has been sitting idle for months
- Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you have to

This talk is suitable for entrepreneurs’ associations, networking groups, business circles, municipalities, and event agencies. Arvid tailors the length and content to your event and your audience. He speaks in Dutch and English.

Arvid has previously spoken at venues including Starthub at Wageningen University & Research (“ADHD in Business”), the Gelderland-Midden Safety Region, and the Boomerang Conference.

“His enthusiasm is contagious, and he has a natural gift for drawing people into his story. I would recommend him without hesitation as a speaker or motivational speaker.” – John Krijgsman
