I like the sound of Sam Walton, he had guts and determination. It’s a pity we have to fight for things sometimes, it would be great if we could be listened to and heard and then negotiate so that we can all have a win win.

But it’s always great to have the courage to speak up when things aren’t right. Regardless of the outcome, speaking your truth is important. No change can happen if you don’t.

Did Sam Walton list his company on the stock exchange because he needed to raise money so that he could keep expanding his company? Is this the big reason that most companies take on investors?

I think that once you take on investors, you lose control of your own company. You can’t do what you want with it any longer. I think what you do is driven by how happy your investors are with the money you’re making them. But, maybe I have it wrong.
