Did you know that when he died, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was the world’s richest man?
Interestingly, when he started his business he faced adversity that almost led to its failure. You see, Sam Walton had an economic crisis when bankers refused to lend him money, and some of his product suppliers created a credit crisis for him when they forced him to agree to pay cash on delivery before they would ship products to his stores.
For Sam Walton to succeed, in those early and difficult days, took a singularity of focus, passionate leadership, and a never say die attitude! He had to overcome his own fear of failure and refocus himself on what to do to succeed.
Where he still alive today it is estimated Sam Walton’s personal worth would be around $125 Billion. A true example of an entrepreneurial “rags to riches” success leadership story!
Positive belief, positive leadership, positive outcomes.
