About this audiobook

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 Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world. The undisputed merchant king of the late twentieth century, Sam never lost the common touch. Here, finally, inimitable words. Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitions and achievements. Sam shares his thinking in a candid, straight-from-the-shoulder style. In a story rich with anecdotes and the "rules of the road" of both Main Street and Wall Street, Sam Walton chronicles the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to lasso the American Dream.

Ratings and reviews

Great book about Sam Walton's business building. I recommend all Walmart associates to read it. It may change your whole point of view about Walmart. The ending was sad though -- Sam passed away.

Very good book. What an interesting life he led. He was a brilliant man. This book also has some gold nuggets for people in retail, weather you are the owner or the employee. Or if you plan opening a store.

Great app to use if you want it to screw up and deliver like 2 items from you shopping cart while paying delivery fees and tips. Idiots.
