Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

Having a good day, I hope.<\/p>\n

Listen, I was reading a ton of posts on my blog and thinking about how many times people with
\nbipolar disorder get excused of all kinds of things that they don’tdo.<\/p>\n

In other words, “Don’t jump the bipolar gun,” so to speak.<\/p>\n

Look, I have an organization that has done great because most of the people that are running it have a mental illness.<\/p>\n

Believe me, this is on purpose.<\/p>\n

I’ve had problems in my business before.<\/p>\n

Now, don’t jump the bipolar gun and assume it was with people who had bipolar disorder, or other mental illnesses!<\/p>\n

In fact, it was just the opposite!<\/p>\n

The biggest problems…<\/p>\n

The biggest disappointments…<\/p>\n

The biggest personality clashes…<\/p>\n

The biggest losses of money…<\/p>\n

ALL came from people who did NOT have a mental illness!<\/p>\n

It’s kind of amazing, actually.<\/p>\n

I can totally count on the people with a mental illness, but many times I can’t count on those
\nwithout one.<\/p>\n

It’s a sad fact, but true.<\/p>\n

I am actually amazed myself.<\/p>\n

Long ago, I found out that the stable person with bipolar disorderis truly incredible.<\/p>\n

I talk about the ways to get stable
\nin my courses\/systems below:<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

\nhttp:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n

SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
\nVisit:
\nhttp:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
\nVisit:
\nhttp:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a>
\nBut as long as the person is taking their medication as prescribed and not having any problems with it, they can be stable.<\/p>\n

And as long as they are seeing a doctor, psychiatrist, and\/or therapist on a regular basis, they can be stable.<\/p>\n

Couple that with some other things, like the right amount of sleep, exercise and a healthy diet…<\/p>\n

Very little stress in their lives…<\/p>\n

Balance between work\/school and\/or volunteering…<\/p>\n

Being productive, yet also spending some leisure time (and also having a social life so they don’t isolate)…<\/p>\n

Having a daily routine…<\/p>\n

Being balanced professionally, personally, in their family life, socially, physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and financially…<\/p>\n

Having a good, strong support system…<\/p>\n

And if they have a good relationship with their supporter…<\/p>\n

Then they can have stability with their bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

Good, solid stability.<\/p>\n

And THOSE are the people who make the best leaders…<\/p>\n

…the best employees…<\/p>\n

And those are the people who work for me.<\/p>\n

Do you know why?<\/p>\n

Because somehow stability with bipolar disorder gives them certain qualities (maybe some that they had before, but they seem to be heightened either by their bipolar disorder or by
\ntheir stability):<\/p>\n

1.\tCreativity
\n2.\tIntelligence
\n3.\tProductivity
\n4.\tAttention to detail
\n5.\tLoyalty
\n6.\tFlexibility
\n7.\tIndependence (don’t need
\nto be watched over)
\n8.\tDependability
\n9.\tProactive
\n10.\tSolution-oriented
\n11.\tGood thinkers
\n12.\tCan accomplish what they
\nset out to do
\n13.\tGood at setting goals
\n14.\tGood for company morale<\/p>\n

That’s 14 things!<\/p>\n

14 reasons why I hire people with mental illnesses over people who don’t have them!<\/p>\n

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not prejudiced, and I do follow best practices when it comes to business – I will hire the best person for the job, whether they have a mental illness
\nor not, so let’s understand that.<\/p>\n

It’s simply that I’ve found that people with a mental illness like bipolar disorder seem to try harder at their jobs than people who don’t have one.<\/p>\n

Have you seen the same thing?<\/p>\n

Does your loved one fall into the above category?<\/p>\n

If you have bipolar disorder, do you have the characteristics I listed above?<\/p>\n
