That seems to be a recurring theme with these types (me included).
I don't want to sit and learn how to do something. I want to be DOING IT and I will be learning the whole time.
Doing something new is exciting for me and gives me an awesome high that is ten times better than anything somebody could buy from any dealer.
If I am doing something fun (luckily, I consider business to be fun and it excites me more than just about anything), I am going to learn at a much quicker pace.
While my peer is sitting there learning how to do something, I am already doing it and teaching myself along the way. It is also a huge time saver. By the time they're ready to get started, I've already finished it, taught myself what I needed to know and have moved on to the next fun and exciting thing.
Many of my friends are the same way. One of the people I admire most was a dot com millionaire and is now a big shot at Cisco. He is the most A.D.H.D. mother f'er I have ever met in my life. He is also a genius in every sense of the word.
He skipped college and was adding up the value of his stock while our friends were walking across the stage to get their college diploma. That A.D.H.D. -- which prevented him from being successful in the typical learning environment -- was and is the key to his success.
