03:38 His specialty is bringing psychological insight and assistance to entrepreneurs.
03:51 “I think we should rename ADD the Entrepreneurial trait.”
04:00 Ned has been working with ADD patients for 30 years.
04:13 “I thoroughly abhor the term Attention Deficit Disorder. Rename it the entrepreneurial trait.”
04:27 Probably 90% of you in this room have it and It’s really because of it that you are achieving remarkable things.
07:49 “A psychiatrist is kind of like the Fool in classical literature. We’re paid to whisper insights to people who might not want to hear."
08:05 The arc of the entrepreneur: Begins with some kind of success.
10:35 “Don’t wonder if your ideas are crazy. Wonder if they’re crazy enough”.
11:22 All entrepreneurs need faith to succeed. Faith is the assurance of things of things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen.
11:36 The avid and faithful pursuit of an idea then leads, almost always, to disappointment. After disappointment, one of the key qualities of the entrepreneur kicks in – “Grit”
12:36 Intervention comes next. Someone gives you an idea, you partner with the right person, something happens that gets you past that stuck place.
13:06 Realization of the dream is the last step in the process
13:34 “The world has never teamed with so much opportunity for so many people.” Never.
13:40 The only obstacles now are psychological.
14:10 Now is the greatest time to be alive. If ever there were a time for an entrepreneur, this is it.
14:45 “I tell people, I don’t treat disabilities, I help people unwrap their gifts. These conditions are markers of talent.”
15:00 My motto is “You have a Ferrari engine for a brain, with bicycle brakes.” I’m a brake specialist.
15:30 5 common pitfalls for entrepreneurs to watch out for:
15:32 1. Don’t give in to the devil of negativity.
16:45 Recognize it and then subject it to rational analysis. “Worry is a disease of the imagination.” It’s the imagination turning against itself.
17:57 Never worry alone but pick your worry partner wisely. The minute you partner with someone, the two key variables in toxic worry go away.
19:19Modern paradox: We have super-connected electronically, but we’ve been disconnecting interpersonally.
20:42 2. Don’t become the victim of your own enthusiasm. Overcommitment creates chronic frustration and keeps us from full maturity and growth.
21:55 Consider that you might have ADD if you are a visionary, pioneer, full of ideas and trouble with follow-through, impatient, low tolerance of frustration, tendency to procrastinate.
22:17 Remember, the treatment in no way takes away your “special sauce.” Quite the contrary, it allows you to use it.
22:27 Analogy: Having ADD is like Niagra Falls. Niagara Falls is just a lot of noise and mist until you build a hydroelectric plant. Then you light up the state of NY. That’s what treatment can do.
23:15 3. Don’t let success turn you into a jerk.
25:23 Use a simple intervention that Dan Sullivan teaches: If someone is exhibiting a difficult behavior, you don’t have to have a year of psychotherapy, just tell them to cut it out! If they’ll listen, it will save them a lot of time and money.
25:47 4. Be careful how you satisfy the entrepreneurial itch for more.
26:50 The maladaptive ways of scratching the itch cause enormous trouble. Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, extreme danger seeking.
28:17 Find adaptive ways of scratching the itch. At the top of the list is connection. The other vitamin “C”. Vitamin Connect is infinite in supply and it’s free, but people don’t take it seriously resulting lethargy, loss of ambition, loss of hope, low grade depression.
29:12 Turn off electronics, and sit down and talk to somebody.
30:37 Get physical exercise. Exercise is miracle grow for the brain.
Find a creative outlet.
31:36 5. Don’t fail to take seriously and develop your loving connections.
All the studies on health, longevity, and happiness in life come back to the importance of one word: Love.
31:51 Take it seriously. Honor it. Nourish it. It will pay you back over and over again.
