Success with ADHD?
ATTENTION: Successful Entrepreneurs – Please Share your Secrets!
Have you be formally diagnosed with ADHD? And, have you found success either in spite of or because of your ADHD? Please share what you’ve done to overcome the challenges of ADHD with others.
There are many adults diagnosed with ADHD who struggle and suffer because they haven’t been able to step over the hurdles ADHD challenges present. The statistics are staggering. Divorce rates, substance abuse, criminal activity (24% of prison inmates diagnosed with ADHD) suicide and even homicide rates include numbers much higher than the norm in the ADHD population. ADHD is not some cute disorder. It is a very serious disorder. The greater number of co-morbidities involved the higher these stats go.
Having said that, I also know that ADHD individuals account for a higher number than the norm of entrepreneurs and other highly successful people. Alan Meckler, chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia, Paul Orfalea, founder of the copying empire, Kinkos; Diane Swonk, a world-renowned economist; Charles Schwab, pioneer in the discount brokerage business and David Neeleman, founder and CEO of JetBlueAirways have all been diagnosed with ADHD. What’s different?
I know what’s different in my life. And, I’ll save that for another time. For now, I would love to hear from you. And, many of my readers would like to hear from you too.
Please, share with us the secrets to your success in spite of the challenges ADHD presents. Would you answer these two questions:
- What challenges did ADHD present for you?
- What was it that you did to turn things around?
