What are the odds that a grade school dropout could found an agricultural-based, multi-industry, multi-national, multi-billion dollar business empire?
Impossible?
Yet it happened. And there are similarly improbable stories of spectacular business growth from unlikely sources in an unlikely place, the state of Idaho.
Idaho Entrepreneurs tells the stories of how it happened: Case studies pinpointing the decisive turning points and key qualities that turned dreamers into highly successful business founders. The lessons they tell are as applicable today as when these widely varied businesses – from creating new building materials to selling sheet music to hauling commercial products – were conceived and grown.
