"Being successful is one thing. Being successful because you had a plan and executed it well is still another. Doing that several times is extraordinary. Sharing the lessons you've learned in the process with the world is truly a gift, and that's exactly what Sean McCauley has done with this book."
Scott Allen, About.com Guide to Entreprenuers and co-author "The Emergence of The Relationship Economy"

"'DNA of The Young Entrepreneur' is very straightforward and explains simply and clearly the step-by-step processes for building and managing a successful company. What strikes us about Sean and reading DNA is this: it is one thing to be so completely successful as an entrepreneur at such a young age, but to then have the ability and talent to write the HOWs and WHYs so straightforwardly make this book a must read."

"'DNA of a Young Entrepreneur' was a very good read...I saw lots of practical applications that I could use in my own business...There were lots of Wowies that caused me to pause and think about my own situation...now I have to go back and do some of the hard work to bring them to realization! This is a real rags to riches story of a young man who started in the fields and ended up in the boardroom. This is his story, his life, and his own 'pull yourself up by your boots straps' strategies and disciplines. This is written by a young entrepreneur that is still in the battle. As a result, it is a unique and fresh approach that will help you create your own successful story, no matter what your circumstances."
