“success is solely the result of its slow-and-steady approach to growth and expansion. Walmart has undoubtedly flourished for many reasons. Apart from Sam Walton being the founder, though, I don’t know what other factors have led to its success. I can rattle off a list of things from various business books and articles written on Walmart, but I don’t know if they were the cause or the effect of its success. But I do know that taking calculated risks and staying robustly healthy have had a strong correlation with its accomplishments over sixty years.”
