About this title

Synopsis

What is success? Is it available to everyone? Does it come at a cost? These are just some of the questions Fritz Grupe explores as he reflects on his journey to becoming a nationally recognized leader in real estate development, a California farmer, and a member of the U.S. Equestrian Team.

In ENJOY THE RIDE, he shows how the same principles that form the basis for personal happiness—having a strong faith, a commitment to health, and rich relationships with family, friends, and business partners—create the foundation for professional success and build resilience in the face of failure.

Through engaging anecdotes—ranging from his first business selling eggs at nine years old, to developing his first master-planned community at the age of twenty-eight, to competing at the Equestrian World Games at the age of sixty-eight, and much more—Grupe shows that true satisfaction lies in achieving not achievement and shares his guidance for those looking to reach their goals—and enjoy the ride along the way.
