I’m a bit boggled when I hear that there are more ADHDers amongst risk-taking entrepreneurs than the general population. It sounds like an overwhelming and stressful endeavor.

It is. It's why most endeavors crash and burn if they even get off the ground to begin with. Yet, being the owners of our own labor through taking the risk of starting a self-owned-and-operated business is the only way for those of us who need control over our schedule to be able to do so without it held above our heads when push comes to shove.

So Catch-22: do you want control over your work-life balance and have the freedom to work at your own pace, in the way you find most comfortable, or save yourself the stress of needing to manage all the complexities of running a business in the current economic landscape?

Sadly, under capitalism, we can't have both.
