Make It Happen: The Blueprint for Initiative, Leadership, and Success
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

Whether you’re climbing the career ladder, leading a team, or launching a business, Make It Happen provides a blueprint for taking action, overcoming obstacles, and standing out in a world full of hesitation. 

Stop waiting for permission. Stop making excuses. Start making it happen.
