About this listen

Sam Walton is best known for founding the retail chains of Walmart and Sam's Club. Founded in 1962, Walmart continued to expand internationally for the next 30 years and by the year 2010, it had become the largest company in the world.

Walton had already stepped down as the CEO of Walmart in 1988 when he was 70 years old. However, he continued to be involved in the affairs of the company until the day he died on the 5th of April, 1992 at the age of 74 due to cancer.

Even though Sam Walton died more than 15 years ago, his life, his story, and his teachings about how to succeed in the business world continue to inspire many start-up entrepreneurs. He made Walmart one of the biggest retail chains around the world and, even after his death, it continues to be at the top.

This book is an attempt to look at his life and his philosophy about succeeding as an entrepreneur in the retail business.
