From one of the greatest business visionaries:

Business Leadership

"Each Wal-Mart store should reflect the values of its customers and support the vision they hold for their community."

"Capital isn't scarce; vision is."

On Managing:

"High expectations are the key to everything." "Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish."

"Appreciate everything your associates do for the business. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free and worth a fortune."

"We're all working together; that's the secret."

Perseverance

"I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time."

Thinking Outside the Freakin' Box

"There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else."

"I have always been driven to buck the system, to innovate, to take things beyond where they've been."

"There's a lot more business out there in small town America than I ever dreamed of."

"We let folks know we're interested in them and that they're vital to us. Cause they are."

"The key to success is to get out into the store and listen to what the associates have to say."
