Remarkably, in spite of the negative impacts, many successful entrepreneurs feel that their struggles inspired them to reach the success they experience today.

A growing number of innovators, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists have recently disclosed that their ADHD, managed effectively, has played a vital role in their success.
