It Wasn't Easy

By Joe Zipley

"I never thought that I'd become a millionaire, but I did. How? I found a profession, honed my sales skills, and kept pressing as hard as I could. You can do it, too. Read my book to learn more." Joe ZipleyThe youngest child of Italian immigrants, little Joe Zippilli grew up in a mostly black neighborhood on the edge of Philadelphia. At 15 he went to work for his older brother's roofing company. By the age of 27, he had his own roofing firm and a few years later opened a wholesale building supply business.But his success did not come easily. Beginning with Mother Dorothea of Holy Angels parochial school, Joe's path was strewn with challenges. Eighteen months in Okinawa, ax-wielding customers, not one but two embezzelers, a devastating fire, clients who wouldn't pay, union toughs, amorous housewives, even being chased by an angry bull -- Joe dealt with them all and managed to enjoy life at the same time.Joe's reminiscences will entertain you while reminding you of what is possible when a man combines ambition with hard work, perseverance, and a positive outlook.
