Adult ADD: Using ADD To Make More

In our last articles we discussed finding a way for you to get more money and how this works when you have attention deficit. But number one, you?ve got to know how much more money you want. It?s not okay just to say, ?I need more money.? How much more money do you need? That way, you can figure out whom you?re going to target to get what you need.

If you?re in a business where you sell a product, or you sell service by the hour, let?s say if you need $1,000 more dollars a month and you charge $100 an hour, it?s very simple math to figure out that you need 10 more clients. But finding them and the money you need doesn't need to bring on your ADD anxiety.

Actually, ADD blends well with this situation because you can make a game of getting where you need to be by saying, ?If I need 10 more clients, I bet if I find 100 prospects I?ll get 10 clients.?

Now if you make a game out of finding 100 people that you might be able to impress, or at least find something that will get yourself remembered, and then it?s simply a numbers game. All you can do from there, which is so much fun as well, is say, ?Let?s see if I can get these new clients in three weeks,? and you make it a game. You use your capabilities of attention deficit to make it fun, number one, and to make it into a game?a challenge. People with ADD love a challenge.

Number two, be persistent, and people with ADD are very persistent. We have the ability to go, not even an extra mile, but ten miles just to make something happen. These qualities of attention deficit can work for you immediately.

The whole point of this part of our series is to get you to stop thinking about what you don?t have and to start thinking about what you want.

There are places that you can look at online to find the information you need. You can go to any of the job websites, like Monster or CareerBuilder, to can post your resume. I would highly recommend that you do something interesting, because of the ADD low threshold for boredom.

Number two, is you can go to a website called Elance, if you?re a service provider. Here, you?re bidding on a job. Be careful not to bid lower than everyone else because you need to get paid to do what you want to do. It?s a way of matching yourself up with people who are looking for your skill set and are willing to pay for it. You may need a bit of the ADD persistence here, too, but keep at it.

But if you're not a contractor and are looking for a better job, here are some tips:

*Get noticed by doing something unusual. For instance, use a picture of a pair of socks and caption it, "If you hire me, I'll knock your socks off." Of course, that's been going around a while and a lot of people have already seen it, so think of something similar and something in line with your own personality. Use your ADD creativity!

*Write a paragraph in the same "voice" as the company you're targeting. Study their annual report or other literature to figure out what that is. The paragraph should detail your leadership qualities and your ADD ability to solve problems. Put this at the top of your resume. Remember, you only get about 30 seconds to make an impression.

*If possible, email your resume, but paste it into the body of your email, rather than sending an attachment. Attachments sometimes carry viruses and can be snatched by the antivirus or spam filter.

*Don't use your accomplishments as the organizing factor

*Don't use special fonts, bold, italics or other special characters. You want to look professional, not flashy.

These are loose guidelines, and you can find much more information online about preparing a resume. Use your ADD tenacity to ferret out the best information. Sites like SmartMoney, Monster, and CareerBuilder have lots of tips for you.

The most important thing about finding the money you need is to use your ADD creativity and persistence and make it fun, so your attention deficit won't make you bored. The key is: Don't drop the ball, until you have what you want!

I bet that you can't tell me that Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote, ?The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.?

Truly, the manifestation and realization of such discoveries, creations, and innovations is nothing more than the mastery of the creators? passions.
