Our challenge to you is to follow through with those ideas and abilities and develop innovative ways to create your own future. The book also explores the benefits of starting your business at this time in the global economy. It helps you dissolve apprehensions that may stop you from decisions that can positively affect you, your family, and others around you. Your options depend largely on your knowledge base, skill set, passion, and goals; these will get you from milestone to milestone even if you consider any of them insignificant. The key is momentum. Challenges are inevitable, but the way you handle them and react (or not react) to them will determine how they impact what you are seeking to achieve. You will find that in going into business for yourself, the biggest challenge is you.
