Yes,

I have owned a successful company for 15 years. I have never and could never work for anyone else. Because of my ADD it would never work for me. I try to surround myself with organized, kind people who make calculated decisions. I need them to help me trim my “spending at times’ and rash decisions. I also have them deal with the small stuff that would make me react (I would get frustrated with the simple things people did)

After some time ,when I trusted them I could let them in on my situation and let them know when I rant , interrupt and finish their sentences etc (you know the rest), it wasn’t because I didn’t respect them or what the had to say but that I have this thing in my life. That being said, some of the ideas that “flood” me have made us successful. I just needed help deciphering them.

One employee even had a great idea, when someone is speaking to me if I pinched myself or slightly bit my cheek every time I wanted to interrupt or blurt, it would remind to focus on their words and not interrupt. Being self employed also allows me to leave or walk out for a while if I am having a rough time so I dint react towards others. ADD is also a blessing to me. Sometimes it frustrates others I care about and some decisions made are a bit hasty but it makes me who I am.
