The Go-Getter: A Story That Tells You How to Be One

By: Peter B. Kyne

Narrated by: Jason McCoy

In The Go-Getter, Bill Peck, a war veteran, persuades Cappy Ricks, the influential founder of the Rick's Logging & Lumbering Company, to let him prove himself by selling skunk wood in odd lengths - a job that everyone knows can only lead to failure. When Peck goes on to beat his quota, Rick hands Peck the ultimate opportunity and the ultimate test: the quest for an elusive blue vase.

Drawing on such classic values as honesty, determination, passion, and responsibility, Peck overcomes nearly insurmountable obstacles to find the vase and launch hia career as a successful manager.

In a time when jobs are tight and managers are too busy for mentoring, how can you maintain positive energy, take control of your career, and prepare yourself to ace the tests that come your way? By applying the timeless lessons in this compulsively listenable parable, employees at all levels can learn to rekindle the go-getter in themselves.

I always enjoy this classic.

Thiis book is highly recommended for anyone who needs to get things done. if you are in sales, you need this information

Excellent for the hungry

This book is an exceptional example of what a go getter is or can be. You'll need to make some room for the older usage of proper English however, you'll benefit immensely from how the story is told and what it will reveal about yourself if you pay attention enough

I go back to re-listen at least once a year

It’s my go to book for when I need motivation,this book will make you believe that the only thing that’s impossible is the word itself.
I’m actually considering tattooing “it shall be done” just so I can have a visual reminder,that’s how much of a motivation this book is.

Good listen

Narration is not my favorite. Word choice is very aged. Overall great listen just for the plot.

Great motivational book.

Short, but motivational. The tell of man who went quit and who never gave up. We should all be so tenacious.
