Happy New Year

So the Edge Question for this year is “What are you optimistic about and why?” I guess only famous people get to answer that question, but I am going to answer it here: I am optimistic about my ability to make a difference in the lives of people who want to start and grow businesses, whether they are in the US or somewhere else, and whether they are privileged or deprived. The ever-widening series of entrepreneurial initiatives that come into my head are a manifrestation of something, and I am going to go with it in 2007!
