Conclusions: ADHD diagnosis risk alleles impact on functional outcomes in two generations (mother and child) and likely have intergenerational environmental effects.
So, ADHD is frequently heredity based on certain genes?
Why oh why oh whyyyyyyyy must academics write like this still?? (I know the answer, doesn't stop me from complaining)
Jargon in academia is definitely overused, but in this case the terminology they're using has specific meanings, that this is meant to communicate to people within the field, that are lost or obscured when you attempt to simplify them.
As someone with ADHD who had shitty marks in HS, is probably going to drop out of college, and wants to be successful -- can you give any insight on how you got where you are?
Brush up on your social skills, hacking computers are nowhere near as valuable as hacking people.
Be CEO of something, dress sharp, get fit. How you look, act, and dress is your UI most hackers have a really shitty UI. Get a good logo, great cards and a good website / brochures. Pay others to make these things, use fivver, put everything out to bid, some people are really cheap, don't be afraid to hire people undercharging for their services. Tip them so you get prioritized.
Sell something repeatable, anything you can pay someone else to do, pay them. Get a lawyer, a good accountant, create your own contracts, run any serious changes by them.
Make sure you have quotes from your subcontractors, double it. Triple it. 10x it. Charge that to your clients. The more you charge the better you are.
Basically be the fucking man. Don't apologize for it.
Read everything by Robert Cialdini. It's a hacking guide to the masses. Read how to win friends and influence people it's a guide to hacking individuals.
Realize everyone is winging it and actors are doctors when they wear lab coats, lawyers when they wear suits and bikers when they wear leather. It's not hard to pass for anything wearing the right clothes.
Don't be afraid to bill $500 for something you paid $24 for. Never tell people how much something cost you or where you sourced it from.
Be really nice and highly complimentary to people.
Yes and no, it's about understanding their needs and providing a solution while also charging enough to pay for everything and future expansion. Also at the same time you need to cut costs to deliver efficient solutions in the future.
If you price everything based on living in a dorm, underpaying yourself, etc your business would fail.
If I didn't charge $500 for something with $24 in direct costs I wouldn't have time to meet with clients, go to networking events, pay for my time for all these things, pay for insurance, pay for nice clothes, pay my trainer, etc, etc, etc.
Initially it's best to think of things as massively over charging because it's way too complicated to actually figure out what things are really costing you. Plan for future expansion, etc.
But yes at a higher level people are going to try to get you to undercut yourself, if you give into the idea that you are over charging you'll end up being taken advantage of. So initially you need to be very strong in your boundaries until you have full time staff to do a proper analysis.
If you roll up in a Mercedes and a nice suit people take you much more seriously than in a beat up Toyota and some rags, you'll also project more confidence, people are buying you, not your product.
Also with all this stuff learn body language, slow down how fast you talk, slow down how you walk, do everything as if it's just a sure thing that's going to happen
I've picked up The Silent Language of Leaders and What Every Body is Saying for body language, and another for persuasion: The Like Switch.
Would you recommend learning how to shake hands/assert dominance like Trump, or is that something that might start being fazed out?
Also, when you get "fuck you money," will toning down on the theatrics hurt you in a major way, even if you've already shown you can be a BSD and preform?
