But ADHD isnt just being able to focus on boring stuff.
Without my medication, I have no executive function. I can't forward plan, can't structure my day, can't work through problems quickly, without tremendous effort. Even then, my productive peak hours are significantly lower while unmedicated. I might be able to do 3 real hours of work in 8 hours instead of 5-7.

Not OP but I can shed some light. If you find something you want to sell, you can look up who the manufacturer/supplier is and call them directly. I used to sell trailer hitches (weird I know, but it sold) in Canada and all I did was contact the manufacturer for the particular one.
You can find them from some websites where you pay a fee to have access to a database of suppliers and manufacturers for example, and I just called them, told them what I was doing and we negotiated. By that point I had the business set up however (legal, tax id, etc) and some wont even talk to you without one.
Mine was a little different than OP because I drop shipped my stuff, meaning that I paid the whole sale price plus a small fee so that I didn't have to but my product up front. They also shipped everything for me and I hardly saw any of the product (besides what I bought to make sure the product was legit quality).

The potential is there for a good living sure. The problem is finding something to sell. I spent 85% of my time product researching, since I knew how to make websites, set up e-commerce stuff, graphic design already.
Once you find a product and someone to make it/sell it to you then you have to worry about product quality, returns, charge backs, and a bunch of other things.
There's also a LOT of people doing this, so finding a product that you can get decent margins on is TOUGH.
One bit of advice I will give though is 99% of the product that you can buy from "drop ship suppliers" are being used by THOUSANDS of people so margins are shit. Contact distributors yourself with a product you actually want and know a lot about.
