I have been setting goals in one form or another for years. Every now and then, I stumble across an old list of goals. I am always fascinated by how many of the things I write down come to pass. And, I must confess, it often happens despite the fact that I do nothing more than write it down.

For example, the New York Times bestsellers list claims that it’s “Rankings reflect sales, for the week ending [current week], at almost 4,000 bookstores plus wholesalers serving 6,000 other retailers, statistically weighted to represent all such outlets.”… All the mass market outlets like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Costco, and Sam’s and Christian bookstores (some 2,300 stores or so).

I created a top-level organizational chart that answers that question. You can double-click on the chart for a larger view.

Sam Moore, the former CEO, who had held the job for forty-seven years, will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Board…. At the Shareholders’ Meeting, Mr. Moore gave me a five-fold charge: Make your family your top priority and remain faithful to your wife.
