It takes a lot of courage, alot of passion and a lot of hard work to start your own business and succeed at it. So I think it is important to be recognized. Its our job, its our economy, its what keeps giving jobs to the Inland Empire. I think its amazing that all of these entrepreneurs are here and I think they should definitely be recognized for their hard work.
