She started her working career in Lens Crafters and moved into management. This led her to meet her husband and create a new business together and move into public speaking and training. “Go for No” is the biggest thing that Andrea and her husband Richard created that people resonated the most with – dealing with the fear of rejection and failure in business. At a networking event, Andrea came across a client who asked about distance learning and this was a turning point for the growth of Andrea’s company. “People pleasing” can be a way of placating rather than using the power of saying “no”. Interpreting “no” can be a healthy way of using it effectively professionally and personally. When you get a “no” ask whether it’s a temporary “no”, if it isn’t permanent then check back with them. Andrea’s definition of happiness is about loving what she does and peace. Andrea’s morning routine involves an early morning coffee. Animals bring Andrea a tremendous amount of joy as well as live theatre, writing fiction with her husband and music. Andrea doesn’t have a strict routine but enjoys the change to allow for flexibility and enjoys having Disney World being on her doorstep to break the day-to-day routine. Walking is the biggest thing that Andrea rates as great people to do for their mental and physical health. Sarah Blakely (the Spanx creator) is a big inspiration for Andrea. Stand-up comedy and America’s Home funniest videos are a way to relax.
