Must read by enteprenuer..

The print quality is so poor the font faint and hard to read low quality paper and cover and on top of that l've got it in bad shape I was excited to read it and I’m sure it’s good but it’s not reader-friendly

You don't need to like Sam or Walmart at all for this one! I thought it was gonna be boring as hell, but man, this guy tells his story from his childhood to the success of the worldwide famous retailer like a chief. You just keep reading how a simple guy from the sticks made it out by getting inspiration around him and a high ambition. The story is full of life inspiring tips !

Great business growth story from the early pre-Wal-mart days upto around the mega machine of the 90s with lots of insight into retail business practice from Sam Walton himself and lots of contributions from his associates. Remains a fascinating, undated, and easy read whilst not delving too deep into financial and technical understanding. Gives a thorough insight into his philosophy and methods. To my mind this book focuses more on the business story rather than the personal glorification that can be found in some other business bibles reflecting the reported humble nature of the man, making it an excellent read for students of business and those looking for inspiration in their own retailing or business practices. At times some of the balance is not quite right, it would have been nice to see more insight from lower level employees and an international perspective on Wal-mart's later growth. It does touch fairly indirectly upon some of the criticisms of Wal-mart, the impact on smaller traders, labour relations, and the impact of cheap food on consumers and suppliers, but clearly these are from the perspective of the founders and more independent criticism can be found elsewhere.
