Summary: are you a go-getter?
Review: The Blue Star Navigation Company has a problem. It hasn't been able to find a manager who will stick to his mandate once he is sent overseas and away from immediate supervision. The company needs a "go-getter", but how will it find one?
Along comes Bill Peck, a war veteran who will not take "no" for an answer. He asks for a job, any job. The company relents and gives him a sales job, selling lumber that nobody in their right mind would want. He proves himself worthy by excelling in his sales position despite the odds. He is now ready for the ultimate test.
From this point on, he encounters obstacle upon obstacle. As you read this story, consider at which stage you would give up. The Go-Getter displays just how much one person may accomplish if they decide to go beyond their usual point of giving up.
Do you ever catch yourself saying, "I tried but...", "If only I had more time/money/resources...", "I'm just not good at..."? Read this little treasure and you will discover that in all likelihood you are selling yourself short. You'd be amazed at what you can do, by simply deciding it shall be done.

Summary: Get This Book and Go For It!
Review: The Go Getter is an excellent little book, packed powerfully with motivation! I would recommend that this little gem be required reading for all students before they graduate. What motivates you? How hard would you be willing to work for your dream? How quickly do you give up or are you motivated to accomplish the task to the very end? Read this book and find out how the challenge was met and conquered! You WILL be inspired! This is book is a very quick read and I actually read it twice to make sure that I did not miss anything! This book can be applied to anyone at any job doing any thing! One thing is for sure - you cannot help but be motivated after reading this book and probably changing your attitude from a negative one into a positive one! I highly, highly recommend this book!

Summary: Be a Go Getter at all costs?
Review: The one good thing I learned from this book is that to be successful you have to live with the motto "it shall be done".
While the author thinks this is a great motto to live by, I question if this is really a good motto for someone to live by. For example if you want to make 10 sales each day, and you work 14 hours a day to make it happen every day for years on end - thereby forgetting about your family and relationships, you may have attained wealth, but you will not have a balanced life. Ok. You get my point. It's good to be a go-getter, but you need a balance too. I highly recommend you read Cheryl Richardson's book, Take Time For Your Life, together with this one.

Summary: One of the top five books I have ever read!!!
Review: There have been times in my life when I was behind the eight ball and I remembered the story of the go-getter. It has gotten me through many a tough situation. It is not a very long book. If it takes you more than an hour to read, then you have reading problems. However, it is the story that makes the book amazing. I have read hundreds of books, and I would rank only four or five of them five stars, and this is one of them. If you want to succeed at something then read this book first. You will not regret it!!!

Summary: It Shall Be Done
Review: This book is a must read for businessmen, educators, coaches, and anyone who feels like they are in need of a lift! The parable in this book is a great motivator. In today's world where most everyone is trying to find the easy way out and pass the buck, this book teaches you to be on the lookout for what may seem like a dubious task, but in actuality is a "blue vase" test! I read this book in about two hours, easy reading! Should be required in all schools.

Summary: The best tool any salesman could have!
Review: This book was given to me by the President of a Lumber Company I once worked for. It is what I've patterned my sales technics after... Always going the extra mile. In short... Service above all. I recommend it not only to all sales people, but to anybody who's job it is to service the public. Oh, by the way, the Lumber Company President?... He's my best customer!

Summary: Chase the vase!
Review: This is a great word picture of what a go-getter looks like. Even when the task didn't make any sense, he kept going. I love this story and appreciate it's brevity.
