Description

More than a Hobby takes readers inside the mind of a low-key, likable Oklahoma entrepreneur who has created a unique shopping experience. How did his company go from a $600 loan to $1.3 billion in annual sales in just thirty-one years-especially when he wasn't groomed for this work either by heritage or by education?

Green was willing to go against the tide, allowing faith to play a huge part in the business. More Than a Hobby describes how this wildly successful business was built not on business-school theory, but on the founder's own experience as a grassroots store manager.

Chapters include:

- Why I Love Retail

Part One: Out Front

- A Creative Frenzy

- The Shopping Atmosphere

- 90 Percent Off?!

Part Two: Behind the Scenes

- Three Ways to Guard the Bottom Line

- What Computers Don't Know

- Keep It Simple

Part Three: The People Factor

- Leading By Example

- Taking Care of Families

Part Four: More Than A Hobby

- This Is Not a "Secular" Business

- Taking Risks

- So What?

Great book

This was very well written. If you are looking for principles to run your business, wow what an example to follow! I did not know much about Mr Green and would to read a more detailed account but this gives a brief background and then some great insight.
