Are you an Adrenalin Junkie?

I once had a client here in Israel who was a neurologist with extensive work with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In a moment of levity (or not?) he once told me: "Really, Ronnie, you don't think Israel is an ADHD country? How often have you felt that people here have zero ability to put off anything, which is a cardinal symptom of ADHD".
Mmmm….I really laughed because I too have encountered this thought in my mind, albeit without the "ADHD country label".

Yet, on the more serious side, we all know or have experienced in ourselves or with others the need to continually be in action, to be on the go, to be do-do-doing something, God forbid a lull in the action, we might get depressed and start wilting away…

Do check if you are an "adrenalin-junkie" and, if yes, take steps to control it.
 Adrenalin is a great thing to have if you want to push ahead but when it manages you, your decisions in life, career or business, watch out!
I have seen time and again business owners make horrible decisions because they did not have the time to think, reflect, consult and allow for processes to happen.

Don't be one of those…cheers!
