Walmart isn't your average mom-and-pop operation. It's the largest employer in America. As such, it's the trendsetter for millions of other employers of low-wage workers.

You can't compete with Walmart. But you can have smaller businesses that are successful.

There are going to be some people who never want Wal-Mart. That's OK.

The key to competing and surviving against Wal-Mart is to focus your business into a niche or pocket where you can leverage your strengths in the local marketplace.

I love Wal-Mart. You can put that down. I love Wal-Mart. My husband and I hang out there.

When you compete with Wal-Mart, even if you think you've found a niche don't ever become complacent.

More people work at Walmart than anywhere else in the United States, but you wouldn't know that from our literature. I'm trying to get at the reality of this country by portraying the lives of many of my friends who I left behind in Pittsburgh.

People have to follow their hearts, and if their hearts lead them to Wal-Mart, so be it.

Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world's most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day.

Now I know that Wal-Mart's policies do not reflect the best way of doing business and the values that I think are important in America.
