“’Success is Never Final’ helps me to understand
Bill’s success as a competitor and as one of the most remarkable
businessmen of our times,” said Tom Pritzker, Executive Chairman of
Hyatt Hotels Corp.
“Bill Marriott: Success Is Never Final” was written by Dale
Van Atta, a New York Times best-selling author and journalist who has been
nominated five times for the Pulitzer Prize. He co-authored the world’s
most widely syndicated news column with Jack Anderson, reaching 50 million
readers.
In 2018, Shadow Mountain Publishing traveled to Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H.,
and interviewed Bill at his lake house along with several family members.

On the Marriott.com blog, Bill recently stated regarding his biography,
“Over the decades, I’ve learned you have to trust yourself and
follow your instincts. We almost lost the company in 1990 due to a confluence
of events beyond our control: the real-estate recession, the Gulf War and the
Japanese stock market crash. I feared, at the time, that I had let my father
down. Thankfully, we pulled through but not without growing pains...I hope
I’ve passed on some important life lessons.” Bill also shares
with his blog readers that his “biography is transparent about some of
our mistakes, too.” Read more at https://www.blogs.marriott.com/.
