Let’s sweep the brain…
?"Goals come from the mind and are often task-oriented, but intent comes from our souls and represents our deepest desires." Mallika Chopra ?
In Mallika's TEDx talk , she asks three meaningful questions that I'd like to share with you:
When we set intentions, we take responsibility for the outcome and are no longer a victim of circumstance. In entrepreneurship, we must understand why we've created a business from ground zero. (AKA our Intent).?
Intention fuels our goals and actions.
The pandemic created a pause to ask myself who I am, what I want, and how to serve. In 2020 I was working for a food manufacturing facility and working towards their intentions, aka their goals, their dreams, and their why. In reflection, I'd spent several jobs working to the ceiling only to find that lesson again.?
There was something more I was meant to do. And this time, I was ready.
Some answers to 'WHY" we start our own business that I often see entrepreneurs share are:
What would you add to this list? Feel free to use some of mine listed above ;)
Now that we know our intention, we then decide what we want in our business according to our values and set goals for our next action.
Simple. Not Easy.
When I started Chickbook Creative , I thought I would "go back to bookkeeping.” It's where my experience brought me into a few family-owned retail businesses. But, as I began, something felt wrong. Being a bookkeeper didn't fulfill my reason for making a change.?
My purpose was greater.
I persevered until I realized that it was the gift of supporting Minds Of All Kinds and matching 25 years of business with 17 years of executive functioning experience. This unique combination allows me to help the brains I love working with to achieve their goals and support them in building a business they are proud of.
Where do I see entrepreneurs get stuck??The gap between intention and action.
Intention without ______ is futile.
But Jamie, I have the intention! I need help with the space in between! WHY?!
(Next week, we’ll dig more into how our brains get in the way for Manage Your Mind; Intent)

What I’m reading:
All’s fair in love and chemistry. It’s 1960s California and there are certain things that women just don’t do. When scientist Elizabeth Zott finds herself the host of a television cooking show, she kicks off a revolution that does more than just challenge the status quo. You will fall in love with the cast of characters in this debut novel that has already been picked up as an Apple TV+ series.
What I’m listening to:
Seasonal planning is an incredibly efficient, though potentially underutilized, approach to productivity. Using the seasons within our lives to choose what’s best for us not only helps us manage our energy, it gives us built-in permission to embrace variety and keep things interesting. This week, episode 160 of the Positively Living Podcast is about seasonal planning for neurodiverse entrepreneurs!
In this episode of the Positively Living Podcast, my guest Erik Fisher shares his productivity wisdom on why seasonal planning works for us, especially those of us who are multi-passionate and neurodiverse, and gives you actionable steps to take right now to accept change as it comes and embrace this seasonal planning approach.

Oh, Hi! I’m Jamie Chapman
This is me with my new glasses, what do you think?
I’m a Small Business Consultant who recognizes you might do things a little bit different, and I’m here for it. I help support small businesses in a wide variety of industries, and have a special place in my heart for neurodiverse entrepreneurs and ADHD business owners.?
If you find that you’re often dancing to the beat of a pen tapping against your desk instead of your own drum, I see you and get you. And I want you to keep on dancing.?
I value getting to know the whole person as a business owner and taking a holistic, human view of their needs. I meet you where you’re at and support you in getting to where you want to go.?
I love watching small business owners thrive and feel proud of what they’re building.?
Founder and Owner of Chickbook Creative, I’ve gained years of career experience in systems, processes, accountability, leadership, and project management. I bring a multi-faceted approach to problem-solving and extensive knowledge of executive functioning, habit formation and the neurodiverse and ADHD entrepreneur’s mind.??
I see and understand the ADHD entrepreneur brain at work, and I'm passionate about supporting neurodivergent business owners in a way that lets them shine their light and bring their gifts to the world for all to see (and pay them for!).?
