About the Book: Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of NIKE
A refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like ... Its an amazing tale Bill Gates
The best book I read last year was Shoe Dog, by Nikes Phil Knight. Phil is a very wise, intelligent and competitive fellow who is also a gifted storyteller Warren Buffett
In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the boot of his Plymouth, Knight grossed $8000 in his first year. Today, Nikes annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of start-ups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all start-ups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognisable symbols in the world today.
