The Go-Getter: A Timeless Parable of Ambition, Honesty and Success
First published in 1921, Peter B. Kyne's classic The Go-Getter: A Story That Tells You How to Be One is a humorous and inspiring tale of determination and entrepreneurial spirit that has imparted key lessons in achieving success to generations of readers. This complete original edition also includes the bonus book A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard.
The Go-Getter follows the story of Bill Clegg, an ambitious young salesman who is set on a seemingly impossible task by his crusty old-timer boss, Cappy Riggs, to test his mettle. With charisma and incredible determination, Bill charmed his way into Riggs's employment and is resolved to exceed his expectations no matter the obstacles. Along the way, Clegg exemplifies the critical values of drive, honesty, and integrity that fuel true ambition and success in business and life.
Told with delightfully old-fashioned prose yet carrying a timeless message, The Go-Getter is an inspiring parable of the perseverance and resolve required to achieve any goal. A must-read for anyone seeking motivation and guidance on the path to personal and professional improvement.
