So there you have it. The five reasons dyslexics make such great entrepreneurs.

1. We are imaginers and visionaries who see new possibilities.

2. We are big-picture thinkers who keep things simple.

3. We embrace failure making us super resilient and persistent.

We are passionate questioners – we don't accept the status quo.

We are 'people' people – great leaders, team builders and empathisers.

But of course not all successful entrepreneurs are dyslexic, but what this course has shown is that dyslexics tap into the skills they are hardwired with to approach business differently. And this gives them a competitive advantage.

So if you are a dyslexic thinker, now is the time to lean into your Dyslexic Thinking skills to launch your startup or accelerate your business. And if you're not a dyslexic thinker, you'll have learned about the Dyslexic Thinking skills that turbocharge entrepreneurs and can use them to drive your business forward. And remember the most successful entrepreneurs are driven by the three Ps: Passion, People, Product. They dream big and jump in. As Richard Branson says, 'Imagine what could be created, imagine what other people are not creating, and just say, let's do it and let's give it a go. And magic can come from that.'

Thanks so much for taking this course. Please share the DyslexicU courses with your community, your friends and family. Because each ripple, however small, will lead to a sea change in how Dyslexic Thinking is understood and harnessed across the world.
