My father died and i suddenly need to operate his buisness, but the issue is that im retarded, like really stupid and its a fact (not just depressive opinion). He knew that he have a stupid son, so he kept me away of things and now he's dead and i need to do this anyway.

People are going to say that world is not fair, when they've got nothing from their parrents, while imbeciles like me got a fortune. They will never understand my point of view, because now im in a possiton that requires from me to be smart enough to not ruin my father work and legacy, which is hard, coz i struggle with almost everything

Rich and sadge...

Bit cliche but maybe a therapist could help you? Because if they have a higher IQ than you, maybe they could help guide you to make the right decisions. Maybe one that helps with problem solving and solution finding and one who directs you more instead of getting you to direct yourself.

Or could you hire people who are smarter than you to do all the work for you?

But yeah I'm sorry, it must be horrible to have a low IQ :( lots of low IQ people out there seem to have happy lives though. I mean look at some of the people on reality tv lol- some of them are dumb af and still end up happy.

I would first and foremost review if your IQ assessment is accurate. Second it's not really about IQ but, overall capability: can you run the company successfully or not?

If you're incapable or unwilling to run the company, you can delegate, or sell it. Rich people often leave their companies in the hands of experts.
Ask the bank for advice. Selling the company and then doing safe investments, is a viable choice.

Even high IQ people can end up with an asset they can't manage efficiently. Managing a business, just like any other job, requires more than raw IQ.

Sell the business. Invest the money sensibly.

You don't need to be the smartest to run a business. There are many, many, many successful business owners who do well not because of being smart but because they work the hardest, or because they are good with people. And many of them would have been in the same position as you are in right now.
If you find the technical stuff difficult that's what your professional staff are for, you only need to know the gist of things.
If the company is big you'd have managers with good people skills, learn from them it requires a different sort of intelligence.
You can make this work by picking good staff, learning people skills and focusing on actions and results (not worrying about details in between).
