{"product_id":"sam-walton-made-in-america-6","title":"Sam Walton: Made In America","description":"In this “sure-fire all-American success story” (The New York Times Book Review), the founder of Wal-Mart describes the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to build the largest retailer in the world.\n\n“[A] wise and inspiring autobiography—Walton tells his quietly fantastic story with conviction and makes no bones about his mistakes.”—San Francisco Chronicle\n\nMeet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America’s heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into the retail giant Wal-Mart.\n\nIn Sam Walton: Made in America, he tells his extraordinary story in his own inimitable words. Genuinely modest but always sure of his ambitions and achievements, he shares a revealing perspective on the elements of his success along with his philosophy of life and practical business advice, including:\n\n• Competition: I’ve always had a passion to compete. Our story proves that spirited competition is good for business\n• Partnership: Individuals don’t win; teams do. Wal-Mart is just a spectacular example of what happens when people find a way to work together.\n• Money: Success has always had its price and I learned that lesson the hard way.\n• Celebrity: I’m not sure I ever really figured out this celebrity business. Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dog around in, a Rolls-Royce?\n• Family: The kids received your everyday heartland upbringing based on the same old bedrock values: a belief in the importance of hard work, honestly, neighborliness, and thrift.\n\nA compelling self-portrait, Sam Walton: Made in America is an inspiring ode to the American Dream.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0553562835\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0553562835.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Walton, Sam\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass Market Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
