When Amadeo Peter Giannini (better known as A.P.) was only 7,
his father died in a fight over one dollar. Times got real hard.
Eventually A.P.s mother married a man in the produce business.
At age 14 A.P. quit school to work with his stepfather. By 19 he
was a partner in their thriving enterprise. It was here that
A.P. built his reputation for integrity and honesty. At 31 years
of age he had all the money he needed or wanted, and announced
his retirement.
At 32, A.Ps real career started when he was asked to join the
board of the Columbus Savings & Loan society. It wasn't long
before A.P found himself at odds with the other directors. He
wanted the bank to loan money to hard-working immigrants, but at
that time banks catered only to business men and the wealthy.
His ideas of loaning money to the working class were scoffed at.
But A.P. had the vision and the will. He raised $150,000, and
bought a converted saloon across the street from the Columbus

opened the Bank of Italy. It was considered improper and
uncouth, but A.P. began ringing doorbells and talking to
everyone he could about his bank. He advertised. He kept the
bank open longer hours and on weekends to fit into working
people's schedules. Business boomed.
But making money wasnt A.P.s sole measurement of success. He
believed in making other people's dreams come true, too. He
helped the California Wine Industry get started. He bankrolled
Hollywood when they were trying to make movies popular. When
Walt Disney ran $2 million dollars over budget on Snow White, he
stepped in with a loan.
A.P.'s story exemplifies the secret to success -- a strong
vision and the will to overcome obstacles thrown your way.
OK, I Gave Away The Secret -- Now Here's The Formula
Integrity combined with "giving back" is the formula for
success. This was A.P.s success formula. What began in 1904 as
the Bank of Italy is now the Bank of America the world's
largest bank. And what about A.P.? Did he die a billionaire?
When he passed away at age 79, A.P.s estate was worth less than
$500,000. This was purely by choice. A.P. looked down on great
wealth. He believed it would make him lose touch with the people
he wanted to serve. He worked without pay for years. One year he
was given a surprise $1.5 million bonus and promptly gave it to
the University of California. It's a winning formula --
integrity plus "giving back."
Theres One More Thing
By every standard, Amadeo Peter Giannini was a success. But his
true measure of success was making a difference every day of his
life. I hope that will be your measuring stick as well. To
achieve success, youve got to have a strong vision, and the
will to overcome the obstacles that will come your way permeated
with integrity. Add to that giving back to your community and
youll be successful indeed!
