Andy Andrews

At one point in his own life, author and speaker Andy Andrews needed some motivation for himself. But now, he’s been requested to speak by four different presidents and has written a book explaining how to find success within yourself.

His latest book, “Mastering the Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success,” is a step-by-step instruction manual on how to be a better person. Andrews knows from experience the hard work it takes to master that feat in life.

For Andrew, it was a long way to success. At 19, his mother died from cancer and a car crash took his father away — leading Andrew to drop out of college and become homeless.

He talks with Growing Bolder about how a library card helped transform his life for the better.
