When a One-Armed Veteran Redefined What's Possible
A wounded war veteran walks into a lumber company office after being turned away twice. He has one arm, no connections, and a job market stacked against him. Within two years, he's running the company's most important overseas operation. This isn't a feel-good fiction-it's the premise of a 101-year-old business parable that Steve Jobs kept stacked in his office, handing copies to employees facing impossible deadlines. "The Go-Getter" has outlived countless management fads not because it offers complex frameworks or revolutionary insights, but because it captures something simpler and more powerful: the alchemy that transforms ordinary people into unstoppable forces. In an age drowning in productivity hacks and leadership podcasts, this slim volume asks a more fundamental question-when everything conspires against you, what separates those who find a way from those who find an excuse? Bill Peck's journey from rejected applicant to company leader reveals timeless truths about character, determination, and the extraordinary power of refusing to accept defeat as an option.
