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. “[A] wise and inspiring autobiography—Walton tells his quietly fantastic story with conviction and makes no bones about his mistakes. ”—San Francisco Chronicle. Meet 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. In 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: Competition. : I’ve always had a passion to compete. Our story proves that spirited competition is good for business. 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. Money. : Success has always had its price and I learned that lesson the hard way. 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. 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. A compelling self-portrait, Sam Walton: Made in America. is an inspiring ode to the American Dream.
