Thanks to Alan Murray, editor-in-chief of *Fortune*, for reminding me of these rules. They'e worth considering. After all, Sam Walton used them to build Walmart to No. 1 on the Fortune 500 list and the Fortune Global 500 list. Not bad for a business that started out as a 5-and-10 store in Northwest Arkansas. Here's a summary: 

• **Commit** to your business.  
• **Share** your profits with your associates.  
• **Motivate** your partners.  
• **Communicate** everything you possibly can to your partners.  
• **Appreciate** everything your associates do for the business.  
• **Celebrate** your successes.  
• **Listen** to everyone in your company.  
• **Exceed** your customers’ expectations.  
• **Control** your expenses better than your competition.  
• **Swim** upstream.
