KELOWNA, BC, CANADA, February 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) "I've been afflicted with Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) all my life but I didn't know it was contagious and then I gave it to my business."
- Marilyn Strong, Author "Getting Paid to Pay Attention", Kelowna, BC, Canada.
Recent research shows there are at least 6 million North American adults with ADD/ADHD and these adults are three times more likely to start a business or work for themselves than those without ADD/ADHD. With a 60% failure rate in the first five years, ADD/ADHD adults really need help to make and keep their business successful.
Strong, local author of the just-released book, "Getting Paid to Pay Attention: Why Your Business Suffers from A.D.D. and How to Fix It", aims to help entrepreneurs, small, and solo-business owners end their "Business A.D.D." which she defines in her book as a syndrome occurring when business owners don't pay attention to and/or neglect important and integral parts of their business.
She goes on to say there are three characteristics common to the ADD/ADHD small business owners suffering from the syndrome: procrastination, distraction, and hyper-focus. "As an adult with A.D.D., it took me almost 20 years to develop three key coping strategies: Activate Your Vision; Build an Accountability Team; and Celebrate", said Strong. Linked to the strategies are 23 action steps she shares with other entrepreneurs and small and business owners through her book.
"I figured out how to get paid to pay attention to my business and I'm thrilled to be able to share the strategies and action steps so that other small business owners can get paid to pay attention too," she said.
The book officially launches Wednesday, February 29, 2012 on amazon.com. To order the book, consumers can go to http://www.gettingpaidbook.com for the link to Amazon, and, as a bonus for buying the book, become eligible for more than $3,000 in bonuses and gifts.

Dr. Stuart Dessner: Sleep Apnea Procedures by Dr. Stuart Dessner
People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have disrupted sleep and low blood oxygen levels, explains Dr. Stuart Dessner. When obstructive sleep apnea occurs, the tongue is sucked against the back of the throat. This blocks the upper airway and airflow stops. When the oxygen level in the brain becomes low enough, the sleeper partially awakens, the obstruction in the throat clears, and the flow of air starts again, usually with a loud gasp.
Dr. Stuart Dessner would like you to know that repeated cycles ...
