Many people overlook how essential it is to strive towards becoming the best version of themselves. During the podcast, Jeff references a quote from Andy Andrews' video Seven Decisions: “If decisions are a choice... and our thinking dictates our decisions, then we are where we are because of our thinking.”The phrase “Decisions Determine Destiny” vividly illustrates how our choices shape our lives. By becoming more aware of who we are and the decisions we make, we not only impact our own lives but also influence those around us.If you're eager to improve yourself and discover your true potential, check out the video below or seek other ways to gain clarity.

Pastor Jim Townsley invites Evangelist John Hamblin to share with us a few things that will encourage and strengthen the Christian and the many decisions that we have to make.
Ever read a book that leaves you on fire?!I read The Travelers Gift in one sitting .... WOW that never happens!! BUT let me tell you, it's just that good. Today I'll share what the 7 decisions are and give a brief summary of each one and how they work in our lives. My hope is you'll go pick up both of these books and study them and then take action on them! https://www.amazon.com/Travelers-Gift-Andy-Andrews/dp/0785273220/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1W4QW4AG61SQI&keywords=the+travelers+gift+by+andy+andrews&qid=1679582535&sprefix=the+trave%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-1https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Decisions-Understanding-Personal-Success/dp/0529104350/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1JATT5K62ELYO&keywords=the+seven+decisions&qid=1679582657&sprefix=the+seven+decisions%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-1If you are gaining value from this podcast, do me a HUGE favor and leave a 5 star rating and written reviewAnd share it to your social media and tag me @whoiserikdale on IG
Do you have a dream in your heart but going anywhere fast? Have you been saying, “someday I'll…” Write a book, change careers, start a family, learn a new skill…but some days never seem to come? Do you know what to do to make your purpose a reality but freeze up instead of moving forward? Today is part 4 of our personal growth series. You've learned fulfilling your destiny all starts with your beliefs. Your beliefs affect your thoughts, and your thoughts determine your words. Well, your words produce something that moves the ball down the field toward your dreams. Today is for you if… If you're tired of saying “someday” to your dreams. If you need help removing the block holding you back from progress. If you're ready to take action that will produce the results you desire instead all the stuff you don't. About ten years ago, I finally started to have a dream. If anyone ever asked me what I wanted during that time, I would say, “I'm going to write Bible Studies one day.” Except for one day never came…until I read The Seven Decisions by Andy Andrews. The Deathbed exercise brought me back to reality. I was saying one day but never took any action. “Your beliefs become Your thoughts. Your thoughts become Your words. Your words become Your actions… –Mahatma Gandhi Your Words create your Actions. Belief creates> Thoughts create > Words create > Actions Here are three steps to creating the actions that fulfill your destiny–your God-given purpose. Examine Current Actions Are your actions leading you to the life you desire or not? You've got to know where you're starting to get to where you want to go. If you're getting up every day watching Netflix and scrolling social media, those actions won't get you anywhere near your dream. Pick a New Action What new Actions do I need to take to get me to the right destiny? Maybe, you dream of sharing your story or the message God gave you, and you want to do that through speaking. Example: What action can you take right now toward that dream? Take a course on speaking. Make connections with event planners or people who know event planners Create your talk Test out your story or message on social media posts or lives. If you are unsure of the right path or purpose, check out the podcast series starting with “Episode138 - What's your biggest wish for the new year” to get you started. Also, you don't have to have 50 new actions…start with one or two that get you moving and move the ball down the field. Reverse Engineer the New Action Reverse Engineer the action to produce the results you desire Belief > Thoughts > Words > Actions What new Words do I need to speak to create the action? What new Thoughts do I need to think to create the new Words? What new Beliefs do I need to embrace to create the right thoughts? The new beliefs, thoughts and words are the FUEL to actually do the new actions. Fear is one of the biggest obstacles to taking action and changing our beliefs, thoughts and words. If you've been making excuses for years, isn't it time you live fearlessly free? Get my three habits to live fearlessly free and jumpstart your courageous life today. heatherbunch.com/courage Thanks a bunch for listening! You got this, and Father's got you!

Discussion on Andy Andrew's "Seven Decisions" on important business principles.
Do you quit when it gets hard? Do you quit when you can't win? Do you quit when it's not perfect? Do you quit when it stops being fun? Today is for you if you have a dream but find you're getting nowhere fast. It's also for you if you have a habit of quitting. And I'm especially talking to you if you feel like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. I'm not just a professional hider; I'm also a professional quitter since my childhood. I've missed out on all kinds of things for decades. Quitting gets us nowhere fast, and we can never fulfill God's call on our life if we keep giving up. “When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.” - Andy Andrews in the Seven Decisions. Here are three simple steps to go from professional quitter to professional committer: 1. Never Give Up–Never Surrender Keep moving forward even if you don't feel like it, even if you're afraid, and even if it gets hard. 2. Go for No Commit to doing the journey no matter whether you win or not. Keep moving forward, no matter the results. Do that thing anyway, even if it's not perfect. 3. Debunk the Excuses Fear is really a pretty package wrapped in an excuse. Unwrap the fear, expose it for what it is and how it's stopping you. Then do steps one and two: Never Give Up–Never Surrender Go for No Commit to fulfilling your dreams, and you'll discover the solutions to move you forward no matter what. You'll never regret trying and failing, but you'll always regret not trying and escaping. If you need help overcoming the fear that's been wrapped in those excuses, pick up my free resource, Three Habits to Live Fearlessly Free, at https://www.heatherlbunch.com/. This worksheet will help you overcome the fear holding you back from fulfilling your dreams. You got this! Thanks a bunch for listening! Until Next Time, Live Fearlessly Free!

Do you have a dream but find yourself saying, “I'll do that tomorrow,” but tomorrow never comes? Have you gotten caught up in the day-to-day of life and stopped pursuing your dreams? Today is for you if you find yourself saying you'll get to your dreams tomorrow. If you've said I'm going to live a life of significance, but you've turned around, and you realize you said that a year ago, a decade ago, but haven't done anything towards your dream, I'm talking to you too. Twenty years from now, am I going to say: I regret… Or I did it Let this exercise be a catalyst so you can say, “I did it!” Deathbed Exercise (from Seven Decisions by Andy Andrews): Answer the following questions: 1. What was my life's work about? 2. Who was affected as a result of my actions? 3. Who was made a better person because of me? 4. What are the three most significant events that happened because of me? 5. What will I be remembered for? 6. How is the world different because of me? Write your Eulogy based on these questions–what do you want people to say about you when you're gone? Remember, this is a jumping-off point.

The Traveler's Gift, a book written by Andy Andrews, is about the divine adventure of a desperate man, David Ponder. Lauren, Gabe and I highlight the amazing lessons for life and success so eloquently described and intertwined in the Traveler's Gift. It is a visit back in history but the Seven Decisions is extremely relevant today! Are you feeling stuck and need some inspiration then this is worth the listen...and read! Lauren Nanni is a certified Life Coach and owns Life Coaching with Lauren where she focuses on helping women (and men too!) create and LIVE lives they love. She developed her love of coaching at a young age, although she didn't know what it was necessarily called at the time, she felt the profound impacts on her own life and knew she wanted to give back in a similar way. Lauren's mission today is to promote the possibility, show people that they are not stuck where they are, and the option to create a new path is always available. Gabe Adams is a Growth Consultant for Empire Growth Partners as well as Co-Owner of West Bank Golf Club, Downtown Cleveland's first and only golf simulator venue and bar. He graduated from Baldwin Wallace where he played football and ran track, and most importantly where he met his wife Lauren! Now he and Lauren love to travel, patio hop with their dog Bane, and enjoy all things Cleveland Browns!

Episode 78 - Acts 3 and @mauibrewingco NITRO coconut Porter - You Gotta EARN it! Recently I read the book The Seven Decisions by @andyandrewsauthor and there was one sentence that really stuck with me so much that I think about it multiple times a day. He said, “Yes God said that he would feed the birds, but he doesn’t put the food in their nests, they have to go out and get it!” This is powerful and so true! God is ready to bless us beyond measure, he’s already provided everything for us, it’s up to us to go out and get it. It’s up to us to earn it! You want a fit body? You gotta earn it with exercise. You want that promotion at work? You gotta earn it with experience and expertise. You want that dream vacation home in an island paradise? You gotta earn that too! Even the lame man at the temple gates that Peter healed had to earn it. He took Peter’s hand and stood up. He was only healed once he stood up. He had to EARN IT! And after my 3.5 mile run today, I EARNED this @mauibrewingco Nitro Coconut Porter. The nitro in this brew adds an incredible layer of depth to a fantastic beer. I think the subtle flavors are more pronounced due to the finer carbonation of the nitro brew. It’s definitely one I wish we had on the mainland! As we head into this next week, let’s remember that yes, God provides for the birds... he provides everything they need...but they gotta earn it. He’s ready to bless you beyond measure. You just gotta earn it! Cheers friends - BBB

Once in a while I will read through my past newsletters to remind myself how important it is stay motivated and inspired each day in order to reach our goals. When I came across this newsletter I wrote back in February 2011, the topic made me smile. Why? Because I had just finished giving a speech about how we have to make strong affirmations and say them out loud and convince ourselves how we are one with our affirmation, we have to own it, be passionate about it and believe it and repeat it throughout the day. We become our thoughts. These seven decisions will change your life! Subscribe, rate, and review my podcast wherever you get your podcasts so you don't miss an episode!

New York Times best selling author, Andy Andrews, shares The Seven Decisions that determine personal success. He explains how each decision effects each of our daily lives. He shares how one man's decision at the Battle of Gettysburg completely changed the fate of the United States of America forever. SUBSCRIBE TODAY at www.NathanOsmond.com/Podcast
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. Andy lived a relatively normal life until the age of 19 when both his parents died just months apart—his mother from cancer, his father in an automobile accident. “I took a bad situation and made it much worse,” he says, reflecting on the series of poor financial decisions he made during this tragic period of his life. Within a few years, he found himself literally homeless, sleeping occasionally under a pier on the Gulf Coast. It was then that Andy asked the question that sparked a search for what would ultimately affect millions of people: Is life just a lottery ticket, or are there choices one can make to direct his future? To find the answer, he went to the library. Over time, he read more than 200 biographies of great men and women—from George Washington Carver to Anne Frank—and discovered one common thread that existed between all of them: They had each made a handful of decisions at critical junctures in their lives that ultimately determined their success. Life was not a lottery ticket—they had chosen their fate. The “Seven Decisions” (as he calls them) became the engines Andy used to carry his life in a dramatically different direction. Eventually, they became the outline for The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions That Determine Personal Success, which was featured on ABC's Good Morning America as a book-of-the-month selection and remained on the New York Times bestseller list for more than four months. This stunning story of one man's time-traveling search for meaning and fulfillment has since been translated into over 40 languages. His subsequent releases—including the New York Times bestsellers The Noticer and How Do You Kill 11 Million People?—have continued to earn Andy praise for his ability to weave subtle yet life-changing lessons into riveting tales of adventure and intrigue. But Andrews is more than just a successful author. He is in such demand for personal appearances that he occasionally speaks to multiple audiences in the same city—on the same day! And still, his personal schedule requires that he decline more engagements than he accepts. Corporations, associations, civic groups—even entire cities—have invited Andy Andrews to address their executive teams, employees, clients, or members. According to those who have witnessed what he accomplishes on stage, there are three things that differentiate him from any other consultant or speaker they have seen. Did you know the past nine college football national championship teams—Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Florida State, Auburn, and Florida—have all used Andy's books and/or personal 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, nonprofit 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 most powerful principles. Show Highlights A lot of people live their lives and never figure out that you can't always believe everything you think. That really stuck with me. —Andy AndrewsWe need momentum in our personal lives.

On this week’s episode, I’m answering a listener question on the value I found from reading the same book, three times a day, for 10 months. Somebody got Robert Smith started on the book The Greatest Salesman in the World in high school or early college. The story is about a wealthy person and a young boy who heard he was the greatest salesman in the world. The boy went to the man and asked how he could be like him. The man gave him 10 scrolls and instructs him to read each scroll three times a day for a month, then move on to the next one. Robert did the 10 months, and then did it again. He told me how huge of a difference it made, and said he would do the ten months again with me. If you’ve read The Traveler’s Gift, then you know the inspiration for the form of that book. Jones was the old man that got me reading the biographies and that’s how I found those Seven Decisions. When I presented them in story form using the David Ponder character, I wrote about the same kind of process where he was instructed to read these things. I have gone through that book and done the 10 months four times. A lot of people ask, “Why do you have to do it again?” If you’ve read something multiple times, at some point you go, “Wow! Okay. I understand that now.” I heard someone say the reason you read a book again is because if you put a couple years in between readings, you are a different person. You’re reading and understanding it from a different perspective and you can gain more. Obviously this is over the top, but it’s only a couple pages that you’re reading. It really shaped me. Tune in to hear Andy reading the fifth scroll from The Greatest Salesman in the World. Questions for Andy Would you like to run something by Andy?

On this week’s episode, I’m finishing the discussion of my career pivots and how I transitioned out of comedy into what I do today. I was on a bus with Kenny Rogers and we were talking about how we had grown up and sharing times in our lives. At some point I told him about the Seven Decisions, living under the pier, and Jones. He said, “You ought to start talking about that on stage,” and I’m like, “Where on stage? It’s not funny.” He told me I wasn’t a joke teller but a talker and a storyteller. I starting throwing it in and transitioning back into comedy, but people were telling me that the serious part was their favorite part. I realized more people asked me to speak on serious topics than were asking for the comedy. This odd thing developed where I was funny, but it had a point. I realized that God has used all these crazy things in my life to make me into a very different kind of speaker. As I transitioned into speaking, I put together the Storms of Perfection books. Then The Traveler’s Gift came along and I started writing the story that was born from living under the pier, and that developed into being more of an author. The writing forced me to think. To sit there and think, read through something, take notes, and ponder is not too hard, but people think it is and they choose not to do it. Tune in to hear about the process of “getting to the bottom of the pool” and how that’s forcing me to learn new ways of explaining the topics in the next book I’m writing.

On this week’s episode, we’re finishing up our series on discussing my office and the items that bring me a spirit of gratefulness, belief, opportunity, and achievement. Tune in to this week’s episode to hear about: The book that I’ve read in its entirety every month for over 30 years. (I’m shocked that I still get new understanding from some of these things…) The award from the Center for Healthy Families that reminds me to be obedient, seek wisdom, and that I make a difference. The gift Adam made me for Father’s Day. How islanders would pull sharks to the shore hundreds of years ago. The item Civil War officers used to brush the day’s dirt away, and why it reminds me to move forward and look towards another day. What started me on the path towards learning the Seven Decisions.

On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on how I’ve learned more about the Seven Decisions since writing The Traveler’s Gift. I am kind of shocked that, at some point, most of the stuff I talked about in the Seven Decisions seminars were things I learned after writing The Traveler’s Gift. At first I thought of the concept of the principles like a rock, but now I think of it more like an onion. You can know how to use a principle, and change the world with it! But there are other layers that can be peeled away to expose new potential. It’s not enough to know what works; you have to know why it works. When you know why a principle works as it does, you can use it in different areas of your life or business—even when they seem to have no connection to one another. A hallmark of successful people is that they always want to be better. That’s a healthy attitude to have, toward one’s self and one’s work. When you want to increase your effectiveness, a lot of it has to do with your mentality. Take golf, for example. There is a certain amount of talent that a person has to have to be a successful golfer, but what sets those at the highest level of the sport apart is usually something mental. I really believe that no matter where you find yourself in life, there is more. When I started doing the Seven Decisions seminars, it was a 3-hour event, and I was using that time to explain everything I knew. Now, I could do at least an hour and a half on each decision. Tune in to the full episode to hear how Andy’s golf cart ride with a golfing legend further illustrated to him that mentality can be more powerful than experience or expertise.

On this week’s episode, I discuss the little-known benefit of the hard times in our lives—and how my greatest struggles led me to my most important realizations. During the time I was living under the pier and reading biographies, I was graphing out in my mind what had worked to make these people turn out like they did. I was at a point in my life when I had a tough time with, “Is there more?” I thought, were these people born this way, or was it something they did? What did they do and how long did it take them to do it? After reading that many of them, you start to realize the things these people have in common. I realized they weren’t habits, or theories, or really even mine. But I saw that they worked every time, and that they were principles. I began to think what happens to somebody who knows all seven? A lot of people don’t understand there is huge value in tough times. To back this up this statement, my idea for the Seven Decisions came from a horrible time in my own life. I would not have read these biographies had I not been living under a pier. When you’re struggling in a certain area, you build muscle in that area. For the rest of your life, you are able to call upon that muscle. Tough times can often force us into different ways of thinking. The situations that have been the biggest wins for me have been because I was forced to think differently. If everything were always in our control, none of us would ever struggle. The “worst” thing can actually turn out to be the greatest thing that ever happened to you, but ONLY if you allow it. If you know people who would benefit from Andy’s books or materials, this episode would be a great one to share. It’s a great entry point to get people up to speed on who Andy is and what he wants to help you accomplish. Take a moment and forward this episode to a friend!

On this week’s episode, I talk about how you can win tickets to see me (along with many other awesome speakers) speak at Dave Ramsey’s SMART Conference! This is going to be an amazing event at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas, TX—with speakers: Dave Ramsey Rachel Cruze Dr. Henry Cloud Dr. Emerson Eggerichs Joy Eggerichs Dr. Meg Meeker Andy Andrews People forget that Dave had to learn his financial stance as an adult after battling bankruptcy. His daughter, Rachel, grew up watching the changes happening in her family as a child, teen, and young adult. She has been raised to understand these principles, and I am excited to hear her perspective. I have already pre-ordered my copy of their book, Smart Money Smart Kids: Raising the Next Generation to Win with Money. Follow the link above to pre-order yours now! Why is it important for people to attend events like this? I work with coaches, teams, organizations, businesses—I can’t afford for people to have average results. Without results, I’m just a guy who can talk fast and is a little funny. The key is to help people truly understand how much they need to learn and how much they don’t know. Have you ever been absolutely sure you know something in your life…and then a couple months later you found out that it wasn’t exactly correct? Could there be something in your life right now that you are wrong about? If that’s true then we don’t know what that might be—there is a lot beyond what we know. It’s amazing to me that I wrote The Traveler’s Gift 15 years ago and people still find it valuable. I do Seven Decisions seminars and I’ll talk for six hours on these decisions. 90% of the stuff I talk about is things I learned after I wrote the book. My approach was to actively pursue more wisdom on these decisions. Make sure you are on our email list. In the next week you will get all the details to win tickets to this amazing event on March 29th. Check out these books from the other speakers! Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know—by Dr. Meg Meeker Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life—by Dr. Henry Cloud Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs—by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs Questions for Listeners Do you have a question?

On this week’s episode, I answer listener questions about time-travel and my switch from comedy to whatever it is that I do now. Would you rather go into the future to meet your great grandchildren, or travel backward and meet your great grandparents? If I went into the future to meet my great grandchildren, I wouldn’t learn anything from them that will change my life and in turn allow me to change their lives. The best I could do is try to convince them to do something or not do something. If I went back into time, I think it would give me a lot of insight as to why my family dynamic came along the pathway that it did. Wisdom is a little beyond knowledge. I hear people say, “My grandparent was such a wise person,” and then turn around and ask where all the wise people are today. Technology makes things so fast and allows for an amazing flow of knowledge and information. However, I really believe wisdom requires quiet and time. How did you know when it was time to change speaking platforms from comedy to what you do now? I had always been interested in communicating something, but there was no way that I could be just a speaker in my twenties. I’m not saying that people in their twenties can’t provide wisdom. Comedy was just my way of being on stage. I can remember when I was on tour with Kenny Rogers, and we started talking about Jones and the Seven Decisions. He said that I should put some of the Seven Decisions talk in my show between jokes. Slowly I kept adding in a little more, and eventually more people were talking about the “serious” bits that I did. It kind of shifted on its own. It’s a strange platform but it’s fun and flexible. If you want to see a blend of my comedic side with my serious side, you should check out my DVD Not Normal: The Power to Be Different. It’s a live presentation of some of my funniest and most inspirational material. Questions for Listeners Do you have a question? Call in and your question might be featured on the show!

My son Nick is a personal trainer and has helped me immensely in my journey to lose weight and get healthy. Recently, I reconnected with him to help me with some new health goals for 2013. Frankly, I had been slacking off during the holidays and needed to get back on track. When we reached the halfway mark in my workout, I knew I was in trouble. I was struggling severely and was upset for allowing myself to fall behind. Being the good coach he is, Nick smiled at me with encouragement and said, “Just wrote yourself a check didn't you?” I looked at him a bit confused. He explained, “A reality check”. As we begin 2013, I am bombarded with all kinds of advice and motivational tips to help me succeed in the New Year. I want to join the fray and offer you one piece of advice. Write yourself a reality check. When you look back at the last twelve months and measure your progress, are you where you expected to be? If not, ask yourself why. Be honest with yourself and examine areas you could improve. I have my iMac home screen set to The Seven Decisions from Andy Andrew's best selling book, The Traveler's Gift. It is a constant reminder of the principles that determine personal success. Decision Number one is “The Buck Stops Here” and here is a quote from Harry S. Truman: If decisions are choices…and our thinking dictates our decisions- then we are where we are because of our thinking. Avoid blaming anything or anyone for where you are. I had to take responsibility for my exercise shortfalls. Take responsibility for your attitude, your success and your life in 2013. Go and make it happen. Happy New Year! Pierce
Features and benefits are essential to your product or service, but we can't forget that people are doing the buying, and those people love a great story; especially one they can relate to and retell. Steve Jobs said, “Story is job one.” Andy Andrews read biographies that led to The Seven Decisions and his best selling book The Traveler's Gift. He is a master storyteller and the power of these stories helped Andy connect with his audience and sell hundreds of thousands of books and build a worldwide platform. I recently read a blog from Kimanzi Constable explaining the struggles he experienced selling his first two e-books. I asked him to elaborate and he responded, “I would tell people why they NEEDED the books and how they'll benefit their lives, no one would listen. I even had close friends that stop being friends with me on Facebook because of the spamming.” “I figured out the best way to connect with people is through my story, so instead of posting the links and sharing the benefits, I started sharing something specific from my story. People clicked because they can relate to the things I did and was going through. They just didn't want to be preached at.” Kimanzi stopped spamming and started connecting and went on to sell over thirty-thousand books and is becoming a sought after speaker around the world. Ask yourself, am I pushing or pulling people? Anytime you take short cuts and try to close the deal without leading people through the proper steps of a sales process, people feel pushed and they will resist. Take the time to connect by telling a good story. Listen closely to theirs. When they know you better, they may like you and trust you. Then you will have earned the right to ask for their business. Have a good week! Pierce
Andy answers an interesting listener question about the seven decisions from his first novel, The Traveler’s Gift. Andy answers a listener question: “How did you come about identifying the seven decisions from The Traveler’s Gift? I’ve never come across a book that encapsulates those ideas the way yours did.” · The first chapter of The Noticer actually tells a lot about how Andy found the seven decisions. · An old man named Jones got him to start reading biographies. Andy was instantly hooked after reading about Winston Churchill. · Eventually, he read more than 200 biographies from the library. He began to ask himself, “How did these amazing people turn out this way? Were they born like that, or was it something they did?” · Andy eventually identified seven things these people did that made them great. These became the seven decisions in The Traveler’s Gift. Andy began to realize that if you asked these great people if they knew they were doing these seven things, they might know that they embodied three or four of them, but there would at least be a few of which they were unaware. · He began to ask himself, “What happens to somebody who knows about all seven and actively pursues them?” · Eventually, Andy came to realize that these seven “things” weren’t just “things”—they were principles, which are at work whether you are aware of them or not · The crazy thing is that 30 years later, Andy is still discovering new things about these principles · The power of the principles, however, lies in how you apply them to your life Questions for Listeners · Which of the seven decisions has affected your life the most? In what ways? o Phone: 1-800-726-ANDY o E-Mail: InTheLoop@AndyAndrews.com o Facebook.com/AndyAndrews o Twitter.com/AndyAndrews
