Growing up, Tom Golisano watched his father, an immigrant from Sicily, struggle to support his family through bigotry and other challenges. He learned early on the value of thinking outside the box and not letting perception sway your view of reality. As a young man, Golisano took $3,000, a maxed-out credit card, and a business concept that no one thought would work, and turned it into a $44-billion market cap company, Paychex. Along the way, he started the Independence Party in New York state, running for Governor as an independent two times, and purchased a failing NHL franchise, the Buffalo Sabres, and saved it from having to move to a new city. On top of that, he has helped fund two children's hospitals donating over $300 million through various charities. Now, for the first time, Golisano shares the political shenanigans, behind the scenes stories, and key characters from his remarkable life. Filled with humor and wosdom, THe Italian Kid Did It! is sure to entertain and inspire readers of all kinds. Be entertained and enlighted by Golsano's stories and dry sense of humor throughout. Learn the secrets behind much of Golisano's success and how to apply them to your own life. See the world differently in terms of what's possible despite what others may have you believe. Tom Golisano shares his stories, wisdom, and insights (and,yes, some big mistakes too!) on the keys to living a successful life." -- from the rear outer cover. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tom Golisano founded Paychex almost 50 years ago and is proud to say that he still is Chairman of the Board, even after taking the company public in 1983 -- a point in a corporation's life at which Wall Street often chooses to replace incumbent CEOs. Who would have thought an Italian kid from Irondequoit would have ended up building a business that today employs 15,500 people and services 670,000 customers?. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 006611
