Sam Walton's 10 Secrets of Success

We all know who Sam Walton is. He was the fellow who built the largest retail business in the world in on lifetime. So maybe his list of what he thinks it takes to become successful would be impressive. However, this list is so powerful, I think we should contemplate them one day at a time. Do you ever read a self help book straight through and never do any of the things that were recommended, even though they all made so much sense at the time. Me, too!

So, today, just one element of business success from Sam Walton.

Rule 1: Commit to your business. Believe in it more than anybody else. I think I overcame every single one of my personal shortcomings by the sheer passion I brought to my work. I don't know if you're born with this kind of passion, or if you can learn it. But I do know you need it. If you love your work, you'll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you - like a fever.

My view (humbly) - If you did only this, you will be successful.
