2009 - The Year Of The "Every Day" Hero

2009's economic challenges, pale in comparison to the extraordinary circumstances some Americans have found themselves in this year.

First there was Captain Sully, the Hero of The Hudson and the entire crew involved in that rescue.

Then there was Captain Phillips, who gave himself to Somali pirates in exchange for the safety of the men on his ship and the entire crew involved in that rescue.

Every day, entrepreneurs navigate the rapids of an economy no one has ever seen before. They are adopting game changing business models, filling unmet needs, hiring new employees and retraining existing ones.

Here in the midst of all the bad news being broadcast is the opportunity for the every day hero to turn this economy around. Courage and leadership are the true bail-out plan that will rescue this economy.

2009 will be "The Year Of The Every Day Hero" and the entire "crew" involved in the rescue.
