go-getter
Aggressively enterprising person
A go-getter is someone who pursues goals with energy and determination—ambitious, proactive, and willing to hustle.
The term is almost always complimentary: She's a real go-getter who started her own business at twenty-two.
It implies initiative rather than waiting for opportunities to arrive.
