Overview
Featuring the Classics A Message to Garcia and The Go-Getter
What separates those who take action from those who hesitate? Why do some rise to leadership while others remain stuck? Initiative. Tenacity. A willingness to do what others won’t.
Make It Happen bring together two of the most powerful, time-tested lessons in persistence, responsibility, and drive—Elbert Hubbard’s A Message to Garcia and Peter B. Kyne’s The Go-Getter. These two legendary stories have inspired leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-achievers for generations, proving that success belongs to those who step up, take responsibility, and refuse to make excuses.
- In A Message to Garcia, a single soldier carries out an impossible mission without hesitation—embodying the power of self-reliance and taking initiative.
- In The Go-Getter, a determined war veteran stops at nothing to prove himself, teaching the importance of perseverance, creative problem-solving, and relentless ambition.
“If men will not act for themselves, what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all?” –Elbert Hubbard, A Message to Garcia
