Summary:
No one who charted Bruce Halle's early years would predict that the poor kid from New Hampshire might achieve greatness as an adult. Halle created one of America's most respected companies, rising to join the Forbes magazine list of the four hundred richest Americans and serve as the role model for the ordinary Joes who seek out success at Discount Tire Company. Six Tires, No Plan maps Halle's journey out of poverty and failure and reveals the deceptively simple values that drive success--for him, his company, and his thousands of employees. --from publisher description
