Successful AD/HD Business Owners Aren't Panicking

In my book, Odd One Out: The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD, I make a distinction between those adults with ADD who are happy and successful, and those who are not. I point out the 5 essential ADD management skills that the happy and successful ADDers have worked to build.

Lately, I've made a somewhat similar observation: The happy and successful business owners with ADD are not panicking in this economic slowdown.

Rather, these business owners recognize that:

1. The economy moves in cycles. It slows down, and it will pick up again.
2. A down economy presents different opportunities than we find in a thriving economy.
3. Leaders will emerge amid the turmoil. Now more than ever, your client and customer base need you to take a leadership role and prove to them that you and your company have valuable contributions to offer.
