A British Study, conducted by Tulip Financial Research, has found that millionaires are significantly more likely to suffer from dyslexia, says The Sunday Times of London. "Psychologists who analyzed the mental makeup of business winners found learning difficulties are one of the most important precursors of financial success. About 40 per cent of the 300 [peope] studied had been diagnosed with the condition--four times the rate of the general population. Experts believe one reason may be that dyslexics, who tend not the be good at details, learn to excel by grasping the bigger picture and producing original ideas." For instance, Sir Richard Branson, a billionaire tycoon, admits he did not understand the difference between net and gross profit until it was explained to him in 2001.
Don't let learning difficulties diminish your own belief in what you can achieve.
