Sam Walton, the founder of Wal Mart, was once America's Richest Man but this title didn't come easily. He worked hard, took chances, and was a strategic businessman from humble beginnings. He was fortunate that his wife was patient and went along with his ideas.
One thing I took away from his story is that a goal and hard work are what is needed for success. A dream is simply waiting for something to happen.
The biography, although not authorized by Sam Walton, was nevertheless well researched and many of those who knew Sam Walton were interviewed.
