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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51541823553824,"sku":"NEW0345538447","price":16.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":51541823586592,"sku":"USED0345538447","price":8.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/content_bc0e582b-e483-4b1c-86f1-03c28592ea5a.jpg?v=1777546287","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sam-walton-made-in-america-my-story-0345538447","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
