ITL307: The Potential Dangers of Success

In this episode, we conclude our discussion of the story of The Traveler’s Gift.  The Traveler’s Gift shaped Andy’s career.  Andy continues to gain a deeper understanding of the 7 Decisions.   The publisher wasn’t interested, the bookstores weren’t interested, and the public was unaware.  Andy knew that God hadn’t taken him this far just to fail. He bought copies from the publisher and gave them away. Eventually, the book ended up in the hands of Robin Roberts, who featured it on Good Morning America’s “Read This!” book club segment. Andy enjoys writing a lot more now that he’s seen the end result of what can happen in people’s lives.  Andy cares more about getting his books to people who haven’t read them than pumping out more books just to have them out there.  Andy has given away 20,000 copies of The Traveler’s Gift. Over 2,500 schools use his free curriculums.  Tune in to hear about Andy’s meeting with...David Ponder. You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer.

ITL306: The Story Behind The Traveler’s Gift: Part 2

In this episode, we discuss the story of The Traveler’s Gift. The Traveler’s Gift wasn’t successful right away.  Fifty-one publishers rejected it over three and a half years. When the book was finally published, it didn’t sell through its initial 10,000 copies. At one point, Andy lost an entire chapter and had to rewrite it from scratch.  It took Andy about a year to write the book.  Andy knew the ending and main points before he started. Andy asked his friends which historical figures to include. He wanted to write something to leave behind for his kids if he died before they had a chance to know him.   Kenny Rogers was critical.  Kenny encouraged Andy to use the 7 Decisions in his show. This helped Andy realize that he could talk about serious topics.  You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer.

ITL305: The Story Behind The Traveler’s Gift: Part 1

Mac Richard

In this episode, we discuss Mac’s new book, The Trust Protocol. Forge credibility through integrity and action.  Focus on being a reliable person. Connect with other reliable people. There is no community without accountability and no accountability without community.  Trust is critical to any community.  “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). If you want to create a community or business that people will be loyal to, build trust.  Everyone has experienced betrayal.  If we’re not careful, we can let betrayal define our future in ways we’re not even aware of. Forgive: people can sense bitterness in others and won’t do business with them.  Trust is critical to parenting  Explain to your kids why you’re telling them what you’re telling them. If they learn to trust you as toddlers, they’ll know that you have their best interest at heart as adults.  Tune in for wisdom from Pastor and author Mac Richard.

ITL303: The Secret to Maintaining a High Level of Energy

In this episode, we answer a listener's question on change.   People believe that you have to hit rock bottom to change.  Hitting rock bottom can be what facilitates change but it's not necessary. This can happen and thus it is true but not The Truth.    You can live your life without ever approaching rock bottom.  Figure out ways to open your eyes before you get to rock bottom. Direction, not intention, determines destination.    People use intention as an excuse.  They say things like, “I never intended for this to happen.”    Tune in to hear about Austin Andrews mingling with celebrities.

ITL301: Which Character Qualities Lead to Success, with Guest Brian Buffini

In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on raising children. Don’t just raise great kids. Raise kids who become great adults.  You can force your child to be a great kid, but only while they’re in front of you. Teach them how to think, not what to think. Teaching a child how to think requires long conversations about what you believe and how you came to believe that. Spend time with your children one-on-one.  Discipline your children while they are young.  Most parents excuse bad behavior while their kids are young and grow more strict as they age, causing them to push back. If you focus on disciplining your children while they’re two and three, you can loosen the rules when they’re teenagers. Teach them self-discipline.  Tune in to hear a Bible verse on parenting that is commonly misinterpreted. You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer.

In the Loop with Andy Andrews

On this week’s episode, I respond to a question about reading biographies to children and my thoughts on fiction. I would read biographies to the boys when they were younger and paraphrase to make it more age-appropriate.       With biographies you can foster an interest in history and good lessons.      Non-Fiction will inform and teach, and I believe it is important to be able to explain why a certain thing will work.   I find it weird when people have a sort of snobbery toward fiction.       When you read fiction, it will ignite your imagination in a way that nonfiction cannot do.      It’s knowledge and imagination that drives the great breakthroughs on our planet.      You need both to create a successful life.  You want the kind of fiction that sparks the right kind of imagination.       Be careful what you and your children are reading.      Your imagination is so crucial to making a great living, having awesome relationships, and being a great parent or spouse.  The Kid Who Changed the World is a clever telling of how much we all mean to each other and the difference we can make, while also teaching history.

I would read biographies to the boys when they were younger and paraphrase to make it more age-appropriate. <ul> <li>     With biographies you can foster an interest in history and good lessons.</li> <li>     Non-Fiction will inform and teach, and I believe it is important to be able to explain why a certain thing will work.</li> </ul>  I find it weird when people have a sort of snobbery toward fiction. <ul> <li>     When you read fiction, it will ignite your imagination in a way that nonfiction cannot do.</li> <li>     It’s knowledge and imagination that drives the great breakthroughs on our planet.</li> <li>     You need both to create a successful life.</li> </ul> You want the kind of fiction that sparks the right kind of imagination. <ul> <li>     Be careful what you and your children are reading.</li> <li>     Your imagination is so crucial to making a great living, having awesome relationships, and being a great parent or spouse.</li> </ul> The Kid Who Changed the World is a clever telling of how much we all mean to each other and the difference we can make, while also teaching history. <a href="http://www.andyandrews.com/product/the-kid-who-changed-the-world/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to learn how to get your own copy of The Kid Who Changed the World.</a> Questions for Listeners Do you have a question?

ITL145: What kinds of books should you and your children read?

On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question about balancing the items in your life and how to know when you’ve taken on too much.   Before we get into this week’s episode I wanted to say a few things about my new children’s’ book Henry Hodges Needs a Friend.  I’m excited about this book because it’s my first rhyming book. The artist Colleen Madden did such a fantastic job the illustrations. I’m also excited because I finally got dedicate a book to a lady who has been so important to our family.    I don’t think there is anyone who has accomplished anything great that didn’t feel like they’ve taken on a little too much.  I don’t know anybody who has accomplished anything great that sleeps 7-9 hours a night consistently. Sometimes we need to catch up, but we can go for periods of time “running and gunning.”    When you find yourself dropping the ball on things you’re committed to, then you may be taking on too much.  I think you can balance more things in your life more than you think you can, but you do have to place barriers around your important goals and principles. It’s inevitable that as you get busier there will be people who do not understand why you don’t live your life like you did in junior high school.    Questions for Listeners Do you have a question?

ITL177: Balancing Life: How to Stretch Time and Add More to Your Plate

In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on getting students to believe they’re learning helpful information.   People can only accomplish what they believe they can accomplish.  I call this “belief imposition.” What you believe controls how you behave—whether it’s true or not.    If you want someone to change what they believe, you need to know how change works.  As harsh as it sounds, people don’t implement your suggestions because they don’t believe you. Two elements are required for true change: 1. What’s in it for them, and 2. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Your presentation of these elements is key.    Tune in to hear about a conversation Andy had at dinner with some military officials.

ITL283: How to Influence Others to Act on Your Suggestions

Patsy Clairmont

On this week’s episode, we have very special guest Patsy Clairmont in the studio to talk about her life and have some laughs.   I was on tour with Patsy for three years while touring with Women of Faith.  If I kept a list of my favorite speakers, I don’t know if it would be her or Zig Ziglar at the top. I can honesty say, professionally, watching her speak was the best experience I’ve ever had.    Listen in to hear Patsy talk about the small group workshop in her home, and tell stories about finding creativity (including a time when someone called her “the worst student I’ve ever had”).   Go to PatsyClairmont.com and check out Shaking Your Tree to hear more from Pasty on how she can help you develop creativity and confidence.   Questions for Listeners Do you have a question?

ITL152: Release Your Creativity with Special Guest Patsy Clairmont

On this week’s episode, I address the question of how to balance contentment and the things you want in life. There are several things I want to do and want to have. Before anything “goes up on our refrigerator,” so to speak, I see if it fits my criteria…  Does this line up with my mission in life? Would it make my mission more vibrant and successful? Can this thing be a tool to help people?  We are very joyful whether we get to do something or not. There is an understanding that we don’t need certain things to feel fulfilled. I am very aware of blessings beyond need.   We have a house, but I have proven in my life that I only need a pier to sleep under. We have blessings beyond what we need cultivate a grateful spirit. Gratefulness will make you into a content person. In my quiet time, I will examine the things beyond what I need and determine if I should pursue them.  Gratefulness is right in the middle of this question. You’ve got to have a grateful spirit and understand that if your needs are met, everything else is gravy.

ITL140: How to be Content and Ambitious at the Same Time

In this episode, we demonstrate how to harness the two ingredients of real, lasting change with a chapter from The Little Things.   Why does change give us such a hard time? It has to do with our three incorrect beliefs about change.  Myth 1: It takes time to change. (Real change happens instantly) Myth 2: A person must want to change. (People change when acquiring new information) Myth 3: A person won’t change until he hits rock bottom.    Instead, true change doesn’t occur without these two ingredients:  What’s in it for me? Proof beyond a reasonable doubt    If you want to create change, you must harness these ingredients. Tune in to hear a chapter from Andy’s book The Little Things.

ITL290: How to Create True, Lasting Change

In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on self-promotion.   Are you promoting your product or yourself?  If you promote your product successfully, you’ll become known without having to promote yourself. The Bible says you’ll be known by your works.    Give your product away strategically.  Explain the value of your product. What will the product do for people’s lives? If what you’re selling really has value, it will catch on. Market your product differently for first- and second-generation buyers.     Tune in to learn how Andy marketed his first-ever book.

ITL286: How to Self-Promote Without Sounding Conceited

On this week’s episode, I respond to a listener question about discussing the topic of depression and suicide prevention.   This week’s topic comes from a father who lost his daughter to suicide in a nationally televised story.  I know it must be one of the hardest things in the world when somebody you love so deeply makes a decision to do this. I heard in your letter that she left behind two boys, 3 &amp; 7. Navigating this for them is going to be tough. As they get older, they will need your presence and your son-in-law’s guidance.    You may have heard people or doctors say this kind of thing runs in families.  I’m not a medical doctor, so I can’t speak to the actual working of the brain. But I take a different view. I think when a family member commits suicide, it brings that up as an option. Unless it’s dealt with, I think other family members can think, “well, so-and-so did this, and this is how they dealt with that.”    The tough thing about this will be to separate your daughter from the act and remember the love that she had.  I can imagine that as sad as you are about this, you might be a little mad too for her child and husband. I really feel like forgiveness is the reset button that needs to be pushed here.    I want you to be very aware of how grateful you can be for her life.  I am sure there are many moments you can call upon that were times of joy and excitement that she added to your life. In the midst of your sorrow, remember to be grateful for that gift of her life and what it meant to you, your wife, and so many other people.    Questions for Listeners Do you have a question?

ITL151: When Someone in Your Life Commits Suicide

On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on what it really takes to have a successful marriage. Occasionally you hear people say, “We don’t have any problems. We don’t fight ever.”  Anytime I hear that, I always think that somebody is being fooled. I don’t know how two people can exist and not have to work some things out. If you have ever been involved in a long-term friendship, there have been moments that you could have walked away from the friend and never done anything with them again. A marriage is more than just a long-term friendship.   Polly and I have a working marriage. It’s a consistent work in progress.  I think we all go through moments where we feel like we can’t stand a person anymore. That’s human nature. The commitment to how things should be has to be larger than a momentary feeling of disagreement.  Our first couple of years were the hardest part of our marriage.  We got married, and to our horror, found out how different we were from one another. I panicked for a little while. I remembered Jones telling me that if two people were exactly alike, one of them would be unnecessary.  I think that the kids knowing that your decisions are for your long-term future really affects them.  Even though we disagree or get mad, there is a larger purpose that the boys know they are a part of, too.  I think the best marriage book ever written is Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs. It firmly grasps the idea of what both people need. Questions for Listeners Do you have a question? Call in and your question might be featured on the show!

ITL136: How Does a Successful Marriage Work?

In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on overcoming hardships.   God knows what He’s doing.  We have a limited understanding. Sometimes parents allow their children to go through difficulties because they want what’s best for their child.    Hardships can be a blessing.  Adversity builds muscle. I wouldn’t have chosen to live under a pier, but today I see the benefits of that time in my life.    You can choose how you view hardship.  Be on the lookout for massive blessings because of your hardships. Just because we don’t know what God is doing, that doesn’t mean He isn’t doing great things.

ITL018 : Parenting Show - How to help your kids see the world differently

On this week’s episode, I talk about the business that my son, Austin, started based on lessons he learned in the garden.    I often ask people what they would do with their lives if money were no object, and then what value that activity has for other people.  These are the kinds of things that Austin, my oldest son, has heard me talk about at the house over the years. Around 10 years ago a hurricane wiped out all the trees at our house. Austin was just a little boy then, but when we were figuring out what we were going to do, he said, “Plant trees that will do Like orange trees.” He was 13 years old when he came to me with the idea of helping other people grow their own citrus trees.    One of the most important lessons people who want to make money need to learn is that they must adopt the mindset of wanting to solve some kind of problem.  Austin told me, “Most landscapers treat citrus trees like any other tree and that’s why they don’t have fruit.” A woman from Dallas, TX, contacted Austin because she wanted to grow citrus trees where she lived. This request prompted Austin to devise a plan for growing citrus trees in pots so they can be taken in during the winter. The word about Austin’s activities eventually got out, and before long, he was asked to talk about citrus production with the local garden club, and then the Orange Beach City Council. This resulted in the mayor himself recruiting Austin to maintain the city’s various citrus trees, making him the youngest contractor in the history of the city! The local newspaper put him on the front page, touting that finally someone was “bringing the oranges back to Orange Beach.”    In honor of Austin’s company’s recent success, we’re offering listeners of In The Loop HALF off the regular price of a custom citrus tree maintenance plan until May 31st. No matter where you live—Minnesota…Maine…Manitoba—you can grow your own citrus tree at home…in a pot! Want a great Mother’s Day gift? A fun and unusual family project? Do you like fresh navel oranges, Meyer lemons, or Ruby Red grapefruit? For just $24.50, Austin will customize a step-by-step plan that includes photographs detailing exactly how you can produce the citrus fruit you want by growing citrus trees in pots! Simply email Austin@SportyCitrus.com and tell him where you live and what kind of citrus you’d like to grow. Be sure to put “In The Loop” in the subject line and Austin will get back to you shortly!

Talk to your kids about where they want to go in life.  Teach them to make choices that move them toward what they want.

ITL019 : How to turn your passion into a career, Andy's Amazing Nashville team

On this week’s episode, I answer two listener questions on how to lead a more balanced life, and what to do if you don’t believe in yourself.   We feel more balanced in life when we’re learning and moving forward in what we’re becoming.  I learned dramatically more and gained more wisdom when I started looking for something and reading with a highlighter in my hand. The primary reason for reading with a highlighter is to find something worth highlighting. When you’re actively looking for something, you read in a totally different manner.    A lot of people get into a situation where they don’t believe in themselves because they’re operating way outside of their purpose.  If you don’t see any purpose in what you’re doing, write down a list of both the aggravations and the benefits of doing it. You need to look at where you are and what you’re doing. If you can’t figure out any benefits or can’t picture those benefits guiding you to your purpose, you need to shift gears and allow your passions to give you a clue.    Stop just listening to yourself and start actively talking to yourself.  If you can’t remember the last time you wholeheartedly believed in yourself, you’ve begun to see yourself in the light the world would have you see yourself—average, ordinary, just one of the masses. Really talk to yourself and you’ll be listening to what you are purposefully saying.    Tune in to be reminded of a simple gesture rarely used these days that will show friends and family just how important they are to you and so many other people.

ITL245: What to Do When You Don't Believe in Yourself

In this episode, we discuss a listener’s follow-up question to last week’s episode about being offended.   Make sure no one in your family is easily offended.  If you want to raise kids who become great adults, teach them not to take offense. You can never have the best for your family without knowing the truth.    Easily offended people are often unwilling to have conversations about it or look at any other side.  The truth is only one thing. Something can be true, but not the truth. The quality of your questions always determines the quality of your answers.    Tell them you’re sorry they feel that way.  Let them know you are sorry they feel offended, but don’t apologize for telling the truth.      Tune in to hear about the conversation Andy had with someone who was offended that he hunts deer.   You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer. Just go to AndyAndrews.com/podcast for details.  Do you have a question for Andy?
