You must click through today’s first HARO to check out Peter Shankman’s blog post, “Why Don’t You Do Some Work?”:
So Let’s translate “why don’t you do some work” into what it really is: “How come your job lets you fly all over the place, and have meetings in really cool places, and why can’t mine? Your job certainly doesn’t seem like work, why does mine?”
The truth hurts!
I wish Peter wrote long blog posts like this more frequently. His writing is fantastic — honest without being accusatory, optimistic but also realistic, intelligent but in no way pedantic. I’d enjoy reading his thoughts on other “horizontal” issues, as we say in the biz. Guess I’ll have to wait for his next book.
This post also reminded me of another openly ADHD entrepreneur, Katey Nicosia from One Good Bumblebee, an online retailer. She also has a great blog post describing how she was able to turn her diagnosis into a positive, for herself and her business.
Peter and Katey, you guys should meet! And, on a side note, if you’re of the crafty persuasion, I highly recommend One Good Bumblebee’s Jar of Whimsies.
