So Sam Walton is considered one of the greatest entrepreneurs to have ever lived.

And certainly, his results would prove it.

Sam started with a single store

in Rogers, Arkansas, in 1962, to become the largest retailer in the world. As of his death in

1992, Sam had over 1,700 stores in 25 plus countries and employed more than 380,000 people.

Walmart is still one of the largest companies in the world by revenue,

generating hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue.

Sam's four-air still sit at the top of the Forbes 400 list.

That is a hell of an entrepreneurial legacy.

had to figure out a long while ago when he was hired to introduce Sam at an award ceremony

for the Sales Hall of Fame. Tom only had 90 seconds to two minutes to say his piece, or the

mistress of ceremonies, Barbara Walters, would cut him off.

Tom thought, oh my God, how do I do this? How do I sum up all of what Sam Walton is in 90

seconds? So Tom decided to call Sam's friend and colleague of 30 odd years, David Glass,

who succeeded Sam as CEO. He asked David, if you had to give the life and times of Sam in 90 seconds,

what would you say? David replied, well, there are a lot of lovely things that you can say,

but he said, clearly and unmistakably, at the top of my list, I would say Sam was unafraid to fail.
