It took many years of riding on what I call ‘the hot mess express”- feeling frazzled, unorganized, and overwhelmed- before I was ready to take the driver's seat and encourage others with ADHD.
Tyler Dorsey
Focus Forward Founder
Hi, My name is Tyler Dorsey, I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 5th grade and struggled throughout my school career to keep up with projects, stay organized, and maintain a schedule. In my early 20s, I realized I needed to make some drastic changes if I wanted to become a more successful human, and I began to seek out resources.
I found a support system, developed a plan, and built a toolkit of concepts and tips that I could lean on. I went from feeling like I was always running behind, to taking control of my life and opening my own business so that I could help others who are struggling with the same obstacles that I faced for so long.
Welcome to Focus Forward. Let us help you find your superpower in the chaos of ADHD.
WHY I CREATED FOCUS FORWARD...
