It is a time of self-employment. ADHD folks can be fiercely independent and they are go-getters. And nowadays, you don't have to work for anyone else. If you have a marketable skill or product, start your own business. If you think you can do something better, go do it. Build that start up, open that doggy daycare, sell your art.
It is a time of innovation. If anyone can build you a better mousetrap, it's someone with ADHD. If you can't find a job you want to do, then create one. Be a professional bridemaid. Or bring back phrenology. Review ice cream on YouTube. Start a lizard farm (I don't know where you will find lizard-sized tractors, but you'll figure it out).
It is a time of multiple income streams. How great is that when you have a bunch of interests that you bounce between? You don't have to have a job; you can have five. You can spend time polishing rocks and then do some coding and move on to brusking and call all of that work. It's okay that none of those is likely to support you because all of them will.
It's a time of remote work. You can work from literally (almost) anywhere! You can work all over the world while sitting in one place or you can work in one place while you travel the world. Restless, bored, looking for adventure? Well, then get up and get moving. Work can come with you!
It's a time of risk-taking. The big risks can pay those big rewards. There is value in being able to take that leap of faith, try that crazy idea, make the unpopular decision. Sometimes you just have to jump and hope the net is there.
This is a time tailor-made for the ADHD brain. You can live your big dreams. Or a bunch of small ones. You can find your passion and then live to work or work to live. You don't have to hold down a job. You don't have to live like everyone else. You can be you.

And that is what success is. Success is being comfortable with yourself, who you are, and just how f-ing cool you are. Success is living the life that fits you best. Success is joy.
I would love to hear from you guys. Leave a comment and tell me about your success.
