Cre­ative­ly writ­ten to inform, inspire, and encour­age inno­va­tion and entre­pre­neur­ship across Amer­i­ca, The Roost­er’s Crow idea emerged as a solu­tion to a prob­lem. Our econ­o­my col­lapsed sev­er­al years ago, cre­at­ing a nation­wide domi­no effect lead­ing to high unem­ploy­ment. Small busi­ness­es, our eco­nom­ic dri­ving force, cre­ate 2/3 of all jobs in the Unit­ed States. Know­ing this, it’s clear that Amer­i­ca needs sus­tain­able small busi­ness cre­ation and growth to rebuild the econ­o­my, adding new jobs. This great chal­lenge won’t be easy, but it’s vital that inno­va­tors and entre­pre­neurs cre­ate and grow their busi­ness­es. There’s a role for every­one to play! I tru­ly hope this book’s con­tents and every Amer­i­can will inform, inspire, and encour­age those will­ing and able to ​“Answer the Call” by pur­su­ing inno­va­tion and entre­pre­neur­ship. This book is intend­ed to: Inform, inspire, and encour­age; Explore the Amer­i­can land­scape of inno­va­tion and entre­pre­neur­ship; Pro­vide valu­able resources; Intro­duce you to new and excit­ing con­cepts; Col­lec­tive­ly fund and sup­port the Amer­i­can spir­it; & Call to Action those will­ing and able to serve!
