A new edition with expanded content is available now, “The Go-Giver, Expanded Edition: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea” An engaging book that brings new relevance to the old proverb “Give and you shall receive” The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day, desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman. Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of “go-givers:” a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the “Connector,” who brought them all together. Pindar’s friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving. Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving—putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives—ultimately leads to unexpected returns. Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb “Give and you shall receive.” From the Hardcover edition.

What is the blue vase? asks author Peter Kyne towards the end of The Go-Getter, his classic, inspirational parable about one mans near impossible quest to secure a blue vase his boss demands to prove his resourcefulness and loyalty. Just as Bill Peck, the hero of the story, has to face his fears, his weaknesses, his insecurities, and inconvenient life circumstances in order to prevail, we also face obstacles like this one every day. Since we all have blue vases, how do we overcome our fears, limitations and difficult life circumstances? Sometimes, you dont know what your blue vase is; other times, you know what it is but may be paralyzed by fear. Counselors are here to help you identify your blue vase and help stir up your inner go-getter to develop a smart strategy to not just locate that blue vase but to chase that one down and identify and go for many others as well. Go-getters dont just read about success. They are men and women of action. Now get up and go get it!

One of the most popular fiction writers of his day, Peter Kyne gave us his most famous character in Cappy Ricks, curmudgeonly Scottish sea captain. This is-contrary, perhaps, to logic-not his final story, but only the second of several bestsellers Kyne produced about Ricks' oceangoing exploits. In this installment, a satisfying chunk of classic pulp fiction, Cappy Ricks sails up and down the Atlantic coast plying his trade while war rages in Europe. (The story is set several years before the book's 1922 publication date.) From sickness at sea to "the most inconceivable trades" being "consummated daily," this is a tale of early-20th-century nautical escapades that will delight fans of maritime adventure. American novelist PETER BERNARD KYNE (1880-1957) was born in San Francisco, California. From early on it was clear that he had a gift for writing, and his time in the army during the Spanish-American War and World War I gave him plenty to write about. Kyne's novels include The Three Godfathers (1913) and The Go-Getter (1921).

Hey, fellow goal digger. I am guessing you picked up this book because you have a goal you want to reach? Maybe it's that new house you want to buy, the book you always dreamed of writing or the new business you want to start. Whatever it is, goals must be set because goal setting is a map to help get you where you want to go in your life. Goal setting should be something that is practiced on a regular basis if you want to ensure that you are always growing. I am a firm believer that goal setting should be a requirement, but many people stroll through life looking at goal setting as optional. This causes feelings of frustration because the goals feel important but the actions don't align with it. In order to reach your goals, it is going to take some serious action. You cannot set a goal and wait for it to fall into your lap. You have to have a strategy and not just any old strategy but one that actually works. There have been many articles and books written about reaching your goals. In The Goal Getter Guide, you will learn a simple strategy that you can implement no matter how big or small the goal is that you are working on. The great thing is that the process is broken down into small bite size chunks teaching how to take a once overwhelming and tedious process and making it seamless. Let's make those goals your reality.
