Abstract :
You know what an engineer is, but what about an entrepreneur? Roget\´s Super Thesaurus, 1995 edition, describes an entrepreneur as "one who starts and runs her own business" with synonyms including "go-getter," "producer," "enterpriser," and "employer"--all descriptive of the business life of Stephen Hagemoen (except for the "her" part). You may wonder how he became an entrepreneur, a successful, respected one. Was he born with a silver spoon in his mouth? Was it pure chance? Far from it!
