Founder: Ventures of a Serial Entrepreneur

By Don Seehusen

Founder is a collection of stories accumulated over a lifetime of learning how to start and grow new business ventures. Told from the perspective of serial entrepreneur, Don Seehusen, from paper boy to Chairman of the Board, they share valuable insights into the schools of hard work, applied effort, simple luck, deserved success and even hard knocks. The lessons learned are experiential, not taught in school or business books. An engineering graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Stanford University, Seehusen could have enjoyed a steady, if less eventful, career in the Navy or corporate America. Instead, he set out on the road less traveled, modeling after successful leaders who "did their own thing", learning the skills to become an entrepreneur, and tenaciously following a good idea when he found it. Although most of Seehusen's business ventures center around the industries of construction and natural resources, the underlying "lessons learned" are driven by the individuals (or should we say characters?) he met and worked with along the way. Founder shares its insight about the accumulation of wisdom and the special knack of being an entrepreneur with simple charm and straightforwardness. It will leave you imagining that there are many more stories.
