Being an entrepreneur who is dyslexic

A while back I have read an interesting article about dyslexic entrepreneurs. There are more of us that you think. Here is a little of what the article said:

Professor Julie Logan’s research at the University of Bristol in 2001 reported that 1 in 5 of the UK’s entrepreneurs she surveyed was dyslexic, twice the rate expected for adults in the UK. 

In 2008, Prof. Logan’s research at Cass Business School in London made business headlines when she reported that dyslexic entrepreneurs make significantly different decisions compared to non-dyslexic entrepreneurs in two key respects: 

The number of businesses they choose to set up, and how many people they employ. 

Dyslexic entrepreneurs did significantly more of both. This means that the actions of this group are important for economic growth.

Yet, there is little to no dyslexia specific support for dyslexic entrepreneurs.

As a dyslexic entrepreneur I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to secure dyslexia specific support for my self as an dyslexic entrepreneur and as a business owner. 

Questions for you to ponder? 

Are you a dyslexic or neuro diverse entrepreneur? 

What is your experience of support for yourself as a dyslexic or neuro diverse entrepreneur / business owner? 

Ok that's it for this blog.
