Title: It was fun, raw selling and hustling
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2018
Review: Got this book on Wednesday June 20th and will have it finished tonight, June 22nd. The picture of Cal Sr. driving his mothers 1955 Pontiac sums up what took this mom and pop store to a whole new level. It was fun, raw selling and hustling, good old fashioned unsophisticated business. Mind you, business was a whole lot easier in the 50's and 60's, but you have to admire Dollar General for being a force all these years. Almost bought their stock, but I would never want to compete with Amazon or Walmart.

Title: The trials and successes of a family business that grew very large
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018
Review: I found "My Father's Business" to be interesting and engrossing, as it shed light on the astonishing growth of Dollar General and its transformation from a seat-of-the-pants family business to a Fortune 500 public company. Along the way, family relationships needed to give way for the business to fulfill its mission. The missional, indeed religious, dimension of the book helps sets it apart, as does its ease of reading. I was impressed by how forthcoming Cal Turner, Jr. was in telling his story and that of Dollar General. I now know a good bit more about the DG store I drive past nearly every day.

Title: Well done

Review: A must for fans of business biographies with a sound moral tone. It suggests what is still possible and why it is important to do things the right way. It makes one nostalgic for the days when doing things the right way for the right reasons was more common. Reminds me of "Daves Way" for all the right reasons.

Title: A story worth telling that is told very well.

Review: I have a bookshelf full of half-read books, but this is not one of them. My Father’s Business reads more like a conversation with the author. Cal Turner will give you lots to think about, and you will likely find yourself reading it again some day.

Review: My Father's Business is a very helpful look at the personal and corporate growth that took place inside one of America's most successful retailers. Cal Turner's honesty is refreshing and inspiring.
I was particularly inspired by the way Cal Turner's faith and sense of purpose guided his leadership at Dollar General.
There is a lot of wisdom in here. I recommend for anyone who wants to see the intersection of faith and work.

Review: My Father's Business is a great story about a family that gave IT ALL to their amazing business for such a simple mission, "Serving Others". It is refreshing to have such a successful CEO open up and share personal stories that molded him, his family and the business that he led to huge success. The book starts and finishes with a genuine message from the author about how important his faith played a role in his life and how he hopes this book helps the reader find their own path to success in carrying out their "Father's business". Must read!
