ADHD and the Entrepreneurial Spirit

My wife has been telling me for years that I am ADHD. That’s Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity Disorder for those of you who tuned out for a minute… She’s on the OCD side, so you can imagine our relationship gets interesting from time to time.

We all have personality traits that will affect our ability to succeed. It probably helps to be well balanced, but if you have the ability to recognize, seek out, and work with people that have skills and traits that complement your own you’ll probably do well.

While there are benefits to working with likeminded people, don’t confuse having common beliefs with similar talents and personalities. It’s probably best to pair a visionary with a technically gifted pragmatist. A singer with a piano player. A technologic phenom with a brilliant marketer.

And someone who’s detail oriented with someone who can see the big picture.

Individually we as people have far less ability to succeed than we do when paired with the right people.

Here’s to the adventure of bringing them together!

BTW, Just celebrated 30 years with my better half... You know, the pretty but OCD Blonde one...
