How to Reverse Your ADD Traits Overtake Others in Your Career!

If like me, you have Attention Deficit Disorder or commonly known as (ADD), then you know how life can be such a drag on a daily basis. People with ADD commonly display symptoms such as social phobia, inattentiveness, carelessness and the inability to complete most projects they set out to do. Other problems include low self-esteem, temper issues, impulsiveness, difficulty maintaining focus, depression, and interpersonal relationship difficulties. Such problems are major roadblocks in life and it certainly is going to rob you slowly of your career and future. Therefore you need to take action to counter this problem.

In today's society, our career or source of income is an important part of our lives, without it, other areas of our life will also suffer. Therefore, people with ADD must know how to cope or get around the pitfalls that they face in their careers. Often times it is hard for people to understand ADD patients. However, people with ADD do have an advantage over others if they can use it to our advantage. It is similar to a latent power which lies untapped. If left untapped, life is going to be difficult. If you are able to tap upon it, then you are in for a treat as you will watch your life begin to unfold in many positive and prosperous ways which you have never imagined or dared to hope for before!

Now, the way to awaken your true potential if you have ADD is to actually trick your brain a little before you take on a task in your work. Before I go into details, lets familiarize ourselves with the concept of game shows.

Have you ever watched game shows such as Supermarket Sweep, Fear Factor or The Apprentice? If you pay attention, you will see that the contestants are all placed under one similar condition:

1) They have a task to complete
2) They have a time limit to abide to
3) They are all going for the grand prize

Under such conditions, they are all focused, dedicated and they give their best efforts. Even though most of the contestants seem to possess, and certainly displayed the traits to succeed in life, why aren't most of them very successful in life? Some even are working on menial jobs with a lot of debts and they seem to depend on the prize money as a means of getting them out of a rut! So why is that?

That's because when they leave the show, the mindset that helps them to win the prize is automatically turned off. It's back to their old laid back style again. Now by understanding this behavioral pattern, we are very much ahead of others in life. Let me show you why.

Before you go to work, spend 10 minutes alone and go through these steps yourself. Tell yourself that today your abilities will be tested in your work like a game show. Pretend that you are a contestant in The Apprentice. Know your tasks, time limits and set a reward for yourself when you complete your tasks at the end of the day. Set bonuses if you can achieve the extra mile. Imagine you are being watched in national television and that your loved ones and friends are giving you their highest morale support. This way, your mind will be laser focused and your work quality will take a drastic improvement!

You need to do this on a daily basis as no one can promise you an overnight cure to your problems in life. But with such attitude and mindset, you will very well wake up one day the CEO of your company or a mogul of an empire of your chosen industry! Good luck!
