Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition glossy photographic boards. Includes Introduction; Afterword; Bibliography; Index; Photo Credits and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed, inscribed and dated (May 1993) by the author Robert B. Pile, with black pen on the blank second free front endpaper. The success story companies in the volume are: Lewis Brittin; L.L. Bean; Walt Disney; Bruce Barton; Nathan Cummings; Bud Hillerich; Sam Walton, Rose Titino; and John Johnson. "This book is about success. Each chapter tells the story of how a man or woman started and built a successful business. The people in this book are neither star athletes, nor TV celebrities, nor musicians, nor astonauts. No, they are business people. You may feel that business people cannot possibly be interesting. Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, when you finish this book, I hope you will agree that the people you have read abouot in these pages have done exciting things, and have achieved - without exception - fascinating and even spectacular results. Each person in this book had qualities that all successful individuals seem to have. You will meet these people and learn how these qualities contributed to the success of the companies they created. The business leaders whose stories you will read were, or are, remarkable human beings, so remarkable that you may feel that their abilities make them superior individuals. But if you think about their lives, you will realize that each one is a lot like you. Each started with an idea or a goal. Then he or she took that idea and built it into a company that provided either products or services. A product, of course, is different from a service. As example of a product is a Louisville Slugger baseball bat. An example of a service is Northwest Airlines. We usually call people who have good ideas "creative." And we often associate the word creative with the ability to draw or write music or poetry. Of the people in this book, only Walt Disney could actually draw pictures. So, most of these people were not creative as we might normally think of the word.this book will give you a look at successful people - people who started and built famous companies. Perhaps this book wll inspire you to business success also. For success is not a matter of having exceptional talent, but rather of using whatever talent you have. When you use that talent and combine it with the determination to try and try and try again, your idea has a chance to succeed. Your chance for success, like the success of the people in this book, is in your own hands." - excerpt from the Introduction. Signed by Author(s).
