Despite the fact the people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) find it hard to focus, this nature has its purpose and it is extremely beneficial for idea generation and taking risks others dare not do. In short, they're perfect for entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurs are different from others in that it is their inherent instinct to wager. Psychiatrist Ned Hallowell tells Entrepreneur that he sees ADHD as a plus attribute to this trade. Here is the reason he states: Individuals with ADHD possess innate energy, grit, creativity, originality, insight and interpersonal skills. Without this chain of prerogatives, entrepreneurship would cease to exist.
Of course, there is also a flip side to it, as there is with almost every undertaking. People simply cannot have it all. For practicing entrepreneurs apportioned this predicament, the organization is a problem.
Every person that have spoken to with ADHD hates bookkeeping and has a very hard time with it, researcher Johan Wiklund of Syracuse University remarks to ResearchGate in an interview. Because of this, it is vital to have people aid such businessmen with this task and supporters to help them concentrate more, especially in dealing with pivotal business cases.
On a more positive note, this challenge is actually a blessing in disguise. Without entrepreneurs, what would become of the world we live in? How will businesses start and more so, how can we thrive without diversity? We may not know it but entrepreneurship has influenced the world into what it is today.
There are many famous people diagnosed with this or have shown symptoms to ADHD and these thinkers and artists have fared pretty fine. According to Psych Central, they are Albert Einstein, Galileo, Mozart, Walt Disney, John Lennon, Henry Ford, Stephen Hawkings, Robin Williams, Beethoven, Sylvester Stallone and many others. Wouldn't you want to be a part of this list?!
What may be perceived as a roadblock, may very well be a detour towards the right direction. When the path meant for us is followed, we meet our destiny and live to the fullest.
