Living with Dyslexia:
Gifts, Talents, Dyslexia and the Entrepreneurial Mind
Academic studies and scientific research continue to validate the link between dyslexia and entrepreneurship. In one study, thirty-four percent of the business owners surveyed stated they were dyslexic. These studies showcase how dyslexia can be the gift of innovation and the entrepreneurial mind. For decades, the focus has solely been on the weaknesses of the dyslexic brain. To fully utilize the gifts and talents of individuals with dyslexia we must shift the focus to what the dyslexic brain can achieve.
