I was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD late in life. I was in my late 40’s for dyslexia and my early 50s for ADHD and had run through many jobs and businesses up until that point.

I had spent most of my working career trying to get organised, trying to prioritise, trying not to become distracted when I should be focused.  I had also spent so many hours searching for meaning, trying to understand why I did not fit in or why I struggled to hold down a job.

There were feelings of rejection, of not being good enough and low self-esteem.

And in business, time-management, to-do lists, emails and financial management were all massive challenges that I struggled to overcome or even make sense of.

But then I was diagnosed and suddenly, the lights went on. Although there wasn’t an immediate change in how I did things, in my success or in my emotional state, I finally understood. And I now had a starting point. A baseline.

It meant I finally understood who I was. I finally understood why I wasn’t, nor ever would be like ‘them’ or who ‘they’ wanted me to be. It also meant I could begin the journey of deeper discovery. I had a mission to my life.

I jumped into learning and discovering all I could about what I had thought of as diseases and discovered that I was not alone. Millions of other men and women experienced the same things I had for so many years. I discovered how the brain works and what differences there are in dyslexic and ADHD brains. I learned what effect these differences had and I discovered how many very successful entrepreneurs dealt with these conditions.

My biggest win came a few years ago when I discovered that the ‘dreams’ I had been chasing for so many years, were dreams that motivational gurus, business mentors, friends and even family believed I should pursue. I realised that I am not them. I am not what they want, what they think or what they believe about me.

I have learned to embrace my differences and discovered the liberation in them. I discovered my WHO and then my why!

Now I work with entrepreneurs and other people like me, to educate, motivate and empower.
