Deborah's been an entrepreneur since she was young. She was just creating. Not everyone understands that they're an entrepreneur. Deborah's biggest challenge is gathering the right team around her to help her decide what to say no to. Try things. Don't be afraid. Face your fears. You have to want to go somewhere and take risks. Then you learn. Deborah wanted people to identify with her story. There are so many distractions today. Deborah wants to share the mindset of "I've reached my summit, but now there's more." The biggest challenge is throwing out stuff you love. Does it move the story forward? Let go of it if it doesn't move the message and purpose.
