About this listen
I've been a bit hesitant to push send on this one.
You see, there's been a number of research studies* showing that ADHD brains are, depending on the study, between 2x and 5x more likely to become entrepreneurs.
I often cite this research in things I put out in my content. But there's one question that I consistently get back, that deserves an answer:
"Does ADHD make you a great entrepreneur?"
Based on my research and my own experience, the answer is...yes and no.
Yes, ADHD super powers can make you more likely to embrace doing your own thing and being an entrepreneur.
But also, no because it's challenges can keep you from succeeding to the degree you know you can.
In this week's Rocket Ship Founder podcast episode I go through the pluses and minuses of being an ADHD entrepreneur:
How ADHD superpowers help you get launched
Why those same superpowers can turn into entrepreneurial kryptonite.
How to leverage the strengths and avoid the pitfalls to give you the best chance of success.
