It only makes sense for America, a country whose success has come from its entrepreneurs and their willingness to take action and work hard to reach their goals and dreams. Siamak Taghaddos, co-founder of Grasshopper (a virtual phone system designed for entrepreneurs) strongly believes that National Entrepreneur’s Day should be day recognized on the calendar.

It would be a day in which the country honors entrepreneurs for the hard work they do. It makes sense to me; we honor administrative assistants for the work they do and mothers and fathers for the dedication they have shown. Why not give credit to the entrepreneurs of this country. The courier industry is especially rich in innovative and determined entrepreneurs; surviving in one of the oldest forms of business takes all of the talent an entrepreneur has to offer as the CEO of Naparex, Monte O’Hara, is well aware!

So what are the steps being taken to make March 20th, 2011 the first National Entrepreneur’s Day? An online petition has been started to ask President Obama to agree to create this day. To receive President Obama’s attention to the goal is to gather 1 million signatures for this petition. 1 million signatures sounds like a lot but with the help of social networking website Twitter there is currently “A Twitter Petition to the First Ever President on Twitter”, now the goal doesn’t seem so far out of reach! Business blogs all over the country are picking up this story and including the links in their blog and on their twitter accounts to get this petition through! Many prominent entrepreneurs have already lent their support by signing the petition, including Wordpress’s Matt Mullenwed.

It is a really exciting idea that entrepreneurs all over the country are working together to be recognized by their country for their hard work and dedication!
So if you believe, like we do, that entrepreneurs deserve a day of recognition then visit this website and lend your support!
