Currently reading: Sam Walton: Made In America
Lots to unpack from this book, but one thing that I quite like...
In the super early days of his business, out of necessity, Sam bought a small airplane and became a pilot so he could save money and get things done faster. It allowed him to go wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
He credits much of the success of Wal-Mart to that airplane. It allowed them to expand to multiple regions in a time before computers, as he could be in many places at once.
When COVID is over, I want to get back to traveling within the US. Even if it's going somewhere for a day, why not?
