Portuguese term or phrase: levar o mundo à frente

Used in the context of a young entrepreneur talking about his initial reactions when faced with what seemed insurmountable problems. He would close himself away and try to "levar o mundo à frente". I suspect it may be "leave the world behind"... but am not certain. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
