Serial Entreprenuer = ADD = Post Traumatic Stress
Yes and no. Usually yes. However there are levels of ADD. There is ADD people that can’t function and others that can. Some take meds, others drugs, others booze, broads or baseball… everyone needs an outlet…what you need to watch out for is a serial entreprneur that is burnt out - that is usually someone who has usually successful and burnt his own house down so to speak. He then typically will try to start a million things at once (i’ve been guilty of this) and will fail at all of them because he won’t have the balls left in him to operate, he’ll just do a lot of things half ass - now they may all be good ideas and great work - but he’s just not ready for the commitment.
A serial entrepreneur that just recently had a blowup at his own expense is like someone who just broke up with his wife, not because he cheated but because he spends his life at the office and his would have PREFERRED that he was cheating, at least he’d be home sometimes. The dozens of half ass startups are like the bimbos you date for quick flings after a breakup…nothing that will last, a little pleasure and then you cry.
So what to do?
Stay away for a bit, let them cool down, usually takes about a year. The guy has fucking post-traumatic stress disorder, he was just shot in battle because he didn’t look before crossing the street. Give him a break and sometime and don’t write him off. He’ll be back and probably be more successful then you. He just needs time.
