The Blue Vase Mindset: How to Apply ‘The Go-Getter’ to Your Life and Career

Most people read ‘The Go-Getter’ and feel inspired. But what if you could do more than just admire Bill Peck—what if you could become him? The Blue Vase Mindset is about taking the story’s lessons and turning them into action. Whether you’re climbing the career ladder, changing industries, or just looking to overcome your own blue vase moment, here’s how to get started:

1. Set Bold, Clear Goals: Like Peck, define exactly what you want—and make it non-negotiable.
2. Prepare Relentlessly: Study, plan, and anticipate obstacles before they appear.
3. Embrace Rejection: Every ‘no’ is one step closer to ‘yes.’ Use setbacks as fuel.
4. Find Your Mentors: Seek out those who challenge and support you, just as Cappy Ricks does for Peck.
5. Take Calculated Risks: Don’t be afraid to stake something valuable for what matters most.
6. Celebrate Small Wins: Every blue vase you secure is proof that you’re moving forward.

The Blue Vase Mindset is about more than persistence—it’s about adaptability, humility, and the courage to keep going when the world says stop. Start applying these principles today, and you’ll find yourself not just reading about go-getters, but living as one.
