go-getter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'entrepreneur' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'heartless stuff on race with hesitation' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'race' could be 'tt' and 'tt' is present in the answer.
'hesitation' could be 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er) and 'er' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'puts' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for go-getter that I've seen before include "Thrusting, ambitious type" , "Person who is successful through aggression and energy" , "Enterprising person" , "Informally, an agressive achiever" , "Energetic and successful person - like retriever" .)
