An interesting read which popped onto my screen care of my delightful chum Dan.
Choice excerpt:
What have you learned about the way an entrepreneur’s brain works?
I’d always just gone and done something new and creative and innovate anytime it struck me. And building a brick-and-mortar business, suddenly I was dealing with stuff that wasn’t innovative, and suddenly I was losing my physical activity level. I was fidgety. But I’ve never had this kind of success. Everything was perfect, I was living the ultimate dream doctor’s job. And I knew inherently that if a giant boulder fell from the sky and destroyed my business and my entire life savings, I would be totally happy.
I was trying to figure out why this was. I had more and more tech people coming in, so I was dealing with more and more issues of hyper-creatives: Addiction, struggle, relationship problems, smoking, chronic fatigue, ADD. These are people who were burning themselves out. I had all these patients strating to come, people moving here from all over the world, diagnosed with ADD, trying to take Adderall. I don’t understand this diagnosis. It makes no sense to me. The description is like written for a 12-year-old boy who can’t get his homework done.
Sam, thanks for posting this. It is a very interesting read.
