From Street Kid to CEO

Vince Weber grew up on the tough streets of New York City during the Depression and World War II, and went on to become a successful banker, businessman, and entrepreneur.  In From Street Kid to CEO he shares what he’s learned the hard way over the years, through trial and error, in all kinds of circumstances—what he calls the “Seven Rules for Success in Life.”  Every success he’s had, both personally and professionally, has been the result of following these rules: tenacity, education, honesty, confidence, originality, flexibility, and loyalty.  

If you understand the power of the Seven Rules and follow them diligently with your mind and heart, they will help you achieve success in whatever you do, no matter how you define it, if you’re willing to pursue that success in a methodical, disciplined, and self-aware way.

Through hard work and determination, Vince Weber became the first in his family to attend college.  He received a Bachelor’s degree from Fordham University and a Master’s degree from the New York University Graduate School of Business Administration.  He and his wife Betty have been married 60 years and have four children, all of whom have successful careers and families of their own.
