And it's a story about believing in your idea even when maybe some other folks don't, and about sticking to your guns." -- Sam Walton "Here is an extraordinary success story about a man whose empire was built not with smoke and mirrors, but with good old-fashioned elbow grease." -- Detroit Free Press "A sure-fire all-American success story." -- The New York Times Book Review

I can't put it down
In very simple terms and examples, Sam Walton shares the very simple, complex, gritty way that he and so many loyal, committed, relentless partners and team members built the retail giant, Wal-Mart. Amazingly, the narration with inserts from actual people who participated in the journey made it real, made it genuine, made you cheer for Wal-Mart. I wanted him to WIN - even though I knew how the story ends. For all entrepreneurial spirits, this is a must read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
