What starting your own business means

Have you every heard about a woman named Elizabeth Holmes? What if you knew that she was a dropout from school and never finished her education? Would anyone think that she would be America's first female billionaire by the age of 30? Elizabeth Holmes revolutionized the healthcare system by starting a company at the age of 19 that invented a cheap, reliable, and fast way for medical offices or other personnel to do a full range of blood tests without the need for a ton of blood. Her vision has lead her to not finish her degree but yet she still managed to fulfill the dream of most every American setting out on their own to start a small business. She made money, and helped millions of people while doing it. CNN had an article on her and her company, along with a neat little instructional video here. The small businesses of our country have an absolutely massive role on our economy, and in this case our healthcare system, so they are best not to be ignored. There can be a future for any small business with the right idea and the right resources, just like Holmes had.
