Some of the biggest names in science, trade, and movies struggled in school with their thinking and learning differences. It may be hard to believe, but many people we know that made the world a better place were, in fact, dyslexic.

Richard Branson and Steve Jobs are mega-successful dyslexic entrepreneurs who turned their brainchild into billion-dollar companies.
