Tearing Down Walls: How Walton Rose To The Top

Sam Walton passed away in 1992 but his legacy lives on. It is estimated that if the Wal-Mart chain was its own economy, it would rank 30th in the world, behind Saudi Arabia. The company’s revenues continue to grow at roughly 10% a year, likely surpassing half a trillion dollars in sales within the next decade. The international division of Wal-Mart is also its fastest-growing division, which indicates that the company is continuing to increase its presence around the world. If Sam Walton were alive today, he would be the richest person in the world, with twice the fortune of Bill Gates. How did a farm boy from Oklahoma accomplish all of this?

Lesson #3: Everybody Deserves The Opportunity To Succeed

“I just wanted to make a million dollars,” says Gardner. “But I couldn't sing and I couldn't play ball, so I said to my mother, ‘How am I going to make a million dollars?’ And she said to me, ‘Son, if you believe you can do it, you will.’” He couldn’t sing, he couldn’t play ball; he was also homeless and he was black – Gardner definitely had the odds stacked against him. However, he took his mother’s lesson to heart and was determined to succeed regardless.

Lesson #3: There is a Danger in Dreaming Too Big

“Many persons are always kept poor, because they are too visionary,” Barnum said. “Every project looks to them like certain successes, and therefore they keep changing from one business to another, always in hot water, always ‘under the harrow.’” When Barnum was struggling to find his way in the work world, he did just that – struggle. His early career paths were as varied as could be. From a lottery agent to a store clerk to a newspaper editor, Barnum tried his hand at a number of different ventures. However, he learned the hard way that was a danger in spreading himself so thin. None of the schemes proved especially successful, forcing Barnum to reexamine his priorities, interests and capabilities.

Lesson #3: Make Your Company a Lean, Mean, Operating Machine

Helu dislikes being compared to Warren Buffett, not because he does not admire the American investor’s long list of shrewd business acquisitions, but rather because he feels it is an inadequate assessment.

He wants to make his companies practical and lean operations, bringing efficiency to their every move. And, most importantly, he wants to do it himself.

Skyrocket Your Success - Work Harder On Yourself Than Anything Else

This week I received an article by a very successful entrepreneur Alexandria Brown. Here's what she says: Over the past several years I've immersed myself in learning.
