successful entrepreneurs. They have natural charisma, risk-taking ability, creativity, and more.These “natural” entrepreneurs are able to dedicate the time and effort needed to be successful because they are driven by internal factors. They are passionate about their work and are motivated to achieve their goals.The second school of thought is that anyone can become a successful entrepreneur if they put in the hard work and effort. This includes developing the necessary skills and traits but also learning from failures and making adjustments along the way.This group believes that entrepreneurship is a journey of trial and error. By learning from their mistakes, they can grow into successful entrepreneurs over time.So, what’s the truth? Is it all in your genes or are other factors at play here, too? The majority of us don’t deliver sonnets like Shakespeare or compose masterpieces like Bach out of the womb. It takes time, and it requires lots of work.But some entrepreneurs are born with innate skills and engaging personalities. These people are like unicorns.

These greats simply understood that success took a formula—or, more specifically, a three-step process.

In seventh grade, I realized that I had a crush on my best friend. With horror, I decided I must be a lesbian—13 years old and living in a sheltered suburb outside Philadelphia, I thought this was the end of my life. I had never seen or known of any real-life lesbians. The future I assumed that I would have went *poof*, and I could no longer imagine living through it. Who was I to pave the way as the first lesbian ever? A year or so later, I had the stunning realization that I had a new crush on a boy in my class. Thank god, I thought, I must be straight. Life as I know it can go on.

If you find you don’t have the life you want, the very first place to start is to ask yourself better questions—ones that make you accountable for everything you are experiencing, good or bad.

Stress, according to most doctors, is the number one trigger for health issues and many different conditions. This puts stress higher up the ladder than tobacco or alcohol. Stress releases chemical hormone compounds in our bodies causing a series of issues, from heartburns and cardiovascular problems to liver damage and kidney conditions. These are the physical signs of stress; the more serious issue is the psychological impact it has on a single individual.

Children and teens with attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD) are notoriously disorganized — which can lead to messy rooms, frustrated nagging, angry blowouts, and hurt feelings.
