I am afraid that I, also have ADD. I didn't realize it until a few weeks ago, when someone else made the observation that I couldn't focus on one task for more than a few minutes. I thought this was about marketing. Maybe it is. Maybe the lesson is that our clients have ADD and once we realize that, then we will understand the Better. Anyone agree? I have bypassed Todd Brown's messages for the last six months. Why? Because I have had to FOCUS all of my attention on getting this website about the <a href="http://www.composttumblersite.com" rel="nofollow">compost tumbler</a> so that's what it takes. I can't understand why it's still on page 35 of google still. But then, I got distracted, didn't I, by getting into this comment situation? Hal Yes, I like this discussion.

Many things bore me quickly except brain stimulation. i just dicovered the film "The Secret" and this got me really going. I can stay focussed on the internet for far more than 14 hrs. Thank God i work on a ship and we sail out every day or i wouldn't sleep anymore. I am now down to 6 hours of sleep per day and all i need is 10 minutes of meditation to keep me going strong. The interesting reading on this website sure helps to keep me upbeat ! Keep it up everybody, feel good and good things come to you, Remember that your life is a mirror of your previous thoughts.

I was finally diagnosed with ADD 2 years ago when my daughter in high school was also diagnosed. It was a lightning bolt. I have accomplished more things since the diagnosis than I had in the previous 40+ years, and that has been a lot, but not efficiently or profitably. I am now in your strategic profits class and I am looking forward to finishing the multitude of unfinished projects, businesses and books so that I may finally become profitable. I have followed some of your previous students and hope one day I may be among them. Dear Rich,

My World Vision Entrepreneurs monthly series (which is going out to high schools across North America for free) should do an interview with you on this topic if you could spare 10 minutes by webcam. Not only does this turn a negative into a positive for all these potential young entrepreneurs, but they will see that this mental perspective shift can be applied to anything. Love your manifestos! I will send u a copy of our first DVD when final edit is done, then when you see our unique angle on entrepreneur education, and the quality of our production, maybe you will consider being a guest! ttys V.
