Who is my Hero?
When I finally retire and write my memoirs, the small business owner will be my true hero. They face harsh economic conditions
underequipped. Sacrifice is their middle name. They work tediously long hours for a financial scraps in the first couple years of
establishment. Many of them will perish in an unequal struggle with the forthcoming recession. I want to celebrate these humble but
exhausted heroes and help them to become equipped when faced with the battle of their lives. Where do I get my fervent belief in
Australian small business? From recent history. Who helped Aussies pull through the extensive episodes of lockdown? The partisans of the
business world: the small business owners.
They employed the tactics of the resistance: the speed, the surprise, and the mobility. In a short period of time, the troops were
assembled, bolstered by local businesses that had acquired a thorough knowledge about e-marketing and rolled out online stores – with
full logistical support (including delivery). They did not act as competitors but as a helping hand. Our partisans will escalate their
resistance once again to combat this looming ugly recession.

When change is being ushered in as quickly as it has been lately, we have to respond equally fast.
But there’s two ways to respond to a changing and uncertain landscape: we can panic, or we can remain calm.
