Andy Andrews
Biography

Hailed by a New York Times reporter as "someone who has quietly become one of the most influential people in America," Andy Andrews is an internationally known speaker and author. Among his New York Times bestsellers are the classic novels, The Traveler's Gift and The Noticer. Leaders from the world's top organizations--including four U.S. presidents--regularly seek him out as a trusted resource for unlocking extraordinary results.

With a quick glance at his track record, it's easy to see why.

Companies have more than doubled their results after hiring Andy as a consultant.

"In the first year of our relationship with Andy Andrews, Fairway doubled its business volume--from $5.4 billion to $11.2 billion. Presently, we are ahead of that year's pace by 57 percent." - Steve Jacobson, Founder and CEO -- Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation

The U.S. Special Operations community and those in command of America's most elite military personnel and intelligence agencies trust Andy for ongoing guidance.

"Andrews understands the challenges faced in today's world. His astounding ability to identify tiny, yet critical components of a larger picture makes him invaluable to any organization struggling through change in a complex environment." - Lt. General Marshall B. "Brad" Webb, Commander -- Air Force Special Operations; Former Commander--NATO Special Operations

His bestselling books--including his latest release, The Little Things--have been translated into over 40 languages and transformed millions of readers' lives worldwide.

"Andy Andrews is a Life Whisperer. He has a way of taking life's most confusing issues and simplifying them, allowing us to harness principles and reach our fullest potential." - Dave Ramsey, Nationally Syndicated Radio Host and Bestselling Author

An In-Demand Speaker, Consultant, and Coach

There are three reasons why corporations, associations, civic groups--even entire cities--invite Andy again and again to address their executive teams, employees, clients, or members:

1. He is "one of a kind".
Andy is that extremely rare communicator who can hold an audience spellbound for as long as he remains with them--whether on stage in front of thousands of employees, or in the boardroom strategizing with executive leadership.

2. He logically proves principles that produce results.
Corporations insist that, "Andy is not a motivational speaker! He is a teacher." And the story- driven principles he teaches dramatically affect people's climate, culture...and even revenue.

3. He produces real, lasting change.
While many speakers will leave your organization feeling inspired for a few days, the evidence of Andy's guidance remains visible long after he exits the stage.

Did you know the past 9 college football national championship teams--Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Florida State, Auburn, and Florida--have all used Andy's books and/or strategies to maximize their performance?

As SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey puts it, "Andy Andrews has a knack for detecting the little things that are the difference between winning and losing. Frankly, it's why Andy has become recognizable to 'football people.' Our officials have studied his material, the coaches listen carefully to what he says, and direct their players to read his books."

As you read earlier, Andy is consistently getting these kinds of results with businesses, teams, non-profit organizations, cities, and leaders...and he's doing it again and again!

Arguably, there is no single person on the planet better at using the power of storytelling to reveal life's greatest principles for success.

The Bottom of the Poolby Andy Andrews

The Bottom of the Pool

by Andy Andrews

This is how it's done. This is why it's done this way. This is the result you can expect if you do it.

These three pieces of information inform a conclusion about every part of each of our lives. Yet it is these three pieces of information that most often set an insidious trap--a trap that has held the imaginations of generations captive to the belief that because they are doing the best they can do, they are accomplishing the best that can be done. And while each of these three statements are true, not one of them is the truth.

Dive deeper with bestselling author Andy Andrews as he shares his unique philosophy regarding foundational thinking. Through his unique and captivating storytelling, Andy helps you search for the reality that lies beyond the boundaries established in the name of "best practices," "industry standards," or "the way things are done." For it's at the bottom of the pool that you discover a pathway to extraordinary results that most people in your position do not even know are possible.

In the first year of our relationship with Andy Andrews, Fairway doubled its business volume - from $5.4 billion to $11.2 billion. The second year with Andy, we cracked $17 billion, and the third year we moved past $22 billion. - Steve Jacobson

The Traveler's Giftby Andy Andrews

The Traveler's Gift

by Andy Andrews

A New York Times bestseller with over 1.3 million copies sold! Only a few months ago, he was a successful executive. Now he's a desperate man. Join David Ponder on an incredible journey to discover the Seven Decisions for success that can turn any life around, no matter how hopeless a situation seems.

Forty-six-year-old David Ponder feels like a total failure. Once a high-flying executive in a Fortune 500 company, he now works a part-time, minimum wage job and struggles to support his family. Suddenly an even greater crisis hits: his daughter becomes ill, and he can't even afford to get her the medical help she needs. When David's car skids on an icy road, he wonders if he even cares to survive the crash.

But an extraordinary experience awaits David Ponder. He suddenly finds himself traveling back in time, meeting leaders and heroes at crucial moments in their lives--from Abraham Lincoln to Anne Frank. As David speaks with each of these historical figures, they share their personal philosophies with him. By the time his journey is over, he has received seven secrets for success--and a second chance. Among these crucial decisions for success are:

  • The buck stops here, and I am responsible for my past and my future
  • I will seek wisdom and be a servant to others
  • I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit, and I will forgive myself
  • Today I will choose to be happy and be the possessor of a grateful spirit

The message is simple: Life is about choices. While we have little control over the events that occur in our lives, success is determined by the choices we make daily. The Traveler's Gift will challenge you, inspire you, and give you seven decisions that you can employ to determine your own personal success.

The Noticerby Andy Andrews

The Noticer

by Andy Andrews

A New York Times bestseller! From the author of The Traveler's Gift comes a story of common wisdom based on the remarkable true story of "Jones," a mysterious old man who has a knack for showing up in people's lives at just the right time, providing priceless lessons about love, life, and the importance of perspective.

Orange Beach, Alabama, is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach have their share of problems--marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, businesspeople on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses.

These situations can seem like dead ends, but to an old drifter named Jones with a gift for seeing what others miss, there is no such thing as a dead end. It only takes a little "perspective," he says, to recognize the miracles in our moments, the seeds of greatness tucked into our struggles.

Appearing when things look darkest, the mysterious, elderly man with white hair carrying a battered old suitcase shows up when he's needed most. "Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely," he says. "Don't squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure...and they matter forever."

The Noticer will provide you with:

  • A better understanding of life's challenges and proper perspective for tackling them
  • Practical yet powerful methods of motivation, encouragement, and resolve for those struggling
  • A fresh and insightful perspective on how people can change their view of the world, find strength, and move beyond their problems

Based on a remarkable true story, The Noticer beautifully blends fiction and allegory in an entertaining and inspiring instruction manual for better living. The story of Jones continues in The Noticer Returns and Just Jones.

The Seven Decisionsby Andy Andrews

The Seven Decisions

by Andy Andrews

Just one of these decisions can alter the course of a person's life. What if you decided to master all seven?

In this revised and repackaged version of Mastering the Seven Decisions, master storyteller and life coach Andy Andrews has fast-forwarded the concept of success and what it takes to make it stick. Seeking out what separates the ordinary life from the extraordinary, Andrews has spent much of his life dissecting countless biographies and spending time with some of the most successful people on the planet in an effort to understand the principles that propel them toward greatness.

The result: seven simple principles that - when applied consistently- render extraordinary lives. Through his entertaining, down-to-earth style, Andrews introduces these principles and offers all the tools necessary to make lasting changes in your life.

  1. The Responsible Decision
  2. The Guided Decision
  3. The Active Decision
  4. The Certain Decision
  5. The Joyful Decision
  6. The Compassionate Decision
  7. The Persistent Decision

The consistent application of the Seven Decisions brings about what can only be called miracles: What was once labeled "impossible" actualizes. Opportunities that once eluded you are now attracted to you. Dysfunctional relationships transform into harmonious ones. Life, which was once a struggle, now becomes an exciting adventure!

The Little Thingsby Andy Andrews

The Little Things

by Andy Andrews

Wall Street Journal Bestseller

Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time and energy thinking about the big challenges in our lives when all the evidence proves it's actually the little things that change everything? That's right... Absolutely everything.

Little Things embodies Andy's own approach to life and work, detailing for the first time some of the exclusive material that he uses to teach and coach some of the most successful corporations, teams, and individuals around the world. In his unique humorous style, Andy shows how people succeed by actually going against the modern adage, "don't sweat the small stuff". By contrast, Andy proves that it is in concentrating on the smaller things that we add value and margin.

Discover a new perspective and a game plan for meeting various challenges, such as:

  • Managing life in a society that seems to be constantly offended by something or someone
  • Creating change that is permanent and not short term
  • Dramatically increasing results by harnessing the fraction of margin between second place and first
  • Understanding our spiritual connection with God and how that affects planning and outcome
  • Identifying the very moment when asking the question why? multiplies the success of an endeavor
  • Recognizing the smallest details that ensure the greatest success

The Heart Mender

by Andy Andrews

Can natural enemies make peace? Actually...can they fall in love?
