Julie Logan at the Cass Business School found that entrepreneurs are three times more likely than the general public to have dyslexia. And many entrepreneurs credit their ADHD with giving them an edge in making their businesses successful. I'm not sure it's because their mental differences give them a performance edge. It's not like there's a secret code that only dyslexics can read. No, I think it's because their outlier tendencies made it clear to them early on that they would be less likely to be picked. Less likely to be at the top of their class or chosen by the fancy college or recruited by P&G. Precisely because they didn't fit in, they had little choice but to pick themselves. And once that choice is made, it becomes a habit.
