But first, here's how dyslexia helped make me a millionaire.

You've probably heard by now that I was a pretty bad student at school,

but what you might not know is I now consider that my biggest asset.

I've wrestled with details like letters and numbers my whole life.

I was a quiet kid in the classroom and spent my time sizing up the kids and navigating

the choppy waters to avoid feeling embarrassed.

I didn't want to feel embarrassed in front of my peers and my teachers and my biggest fear all day long was that I would be called on to read out. my and not be able to read the way they read. A few weeks ago I talked about how my

lousy report card built my business but today I want to talk about how it

built me as a person and as a business leader.

Dyslexia has given me great empathy and absolutely no errors.

When you're labeled a loser as a kid,

you develop empathy and kindness toward others

because you need it so much shown toward you. You can't look down at anyone
