Prisoner of the Truck

For 4 years, from age 8 to 12, Fred worked up to 100 hours a week on his father’s vegetable truck. At age 12, two 5-minute conversations with his Pa taught Fred that a positive Attitude, Courage, Enthusiasm and Determination would affect his life’s direction.

He finished business school at age 16, tops in his class. At age 17, he bought his mother and eight brothers and sisters a six-bedroom home. He became an entrepreneur at age 24 and a multi- millionaire at 34. He built a ski resort, golf course and condominium community.

And then he faced failure. Fred applied the same lessons he learned at age 12 to turn adversity and failure into success. His genuine and heartfelt stories inspire others.
