Andrew Griffiths

Known for his ability to entertain, to inspire and to energise, Andrew Griffiths has become a highly sought after keynote speaker.  Andrew is an entrepreneur with a real passion for small business, who has a colourful background that has made him the man he is today. Inspired by a constant desire to see others reach their full potential, Andrew is also a passionate campaigner for numerous not for profit organisations.

From humble beginnings as an orphan growing up in Western Australia, Andrew has owned and operated a number of very successful small businesses, starting his first enterprise at age seven, a newspaper round in the seedy red light area of Perth. Since then he has sold encyclopaedias door to door, travelled the world as an international sales manager for a large Japanese shipping company, worked in the Great Sandy Desert for a gold exploration company, had his own SCUBA school and retail shop and worked as a commercial diver throughout Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Andrew has written ten hugely successful books (eight are bestsellers), with many more on the way.  His "101 Ways" business building series offers small business owners practical, smart and realistic advice. The series is now sold in over 50 countries, it's easy to see that Andrew's concepts cross both cultural and geographical boundaries.  Andrew wrote the book "Bulletproof Your Business NOW" which was designed to help business owners to overcome the challenges faced in tough economic times and ideally making their business bulletproof so that it won't be vulnerable in the future. There is no doubt that Andrew Griffiths has become a major force in the world of small business, within Australia and around the world.

Andrew's first personal growth book was the ME MYTH, it has been featured on Sunrise, Good Morning NZ, Triple M radio and many more national and international media. It has won acclaim as one of the most inspirational self improvement books ever written by an Australian author.

Andrew can be engaged to present anywhere in the world. He can talk with authority on a range of topics and the success of both his business building books and his self development books gives him the credibility that will make any audience sit up and take notice.

Perhaps most importantly of all, Andrew is an entertaining speaker. People will laugh out loud at his own stories and anecdotes, which he shares very freely. It makes him a very real and down to earth presenter who can connect with his audience regardless of where they are from or what their business may be.

He is passionate, he is fun and he packs a punch.

Andrew is also an ambassador for Act for Kids, an organisation charged with eliminating Child Abuse once and for all. Andrew is also actively involved with the Salvation Army, Harald's House for homeless kids and many more. He truly does walk the talk!

Client Ovations: Andrew was exceptional. He engaged everyone in the room, he made us laugh, he made us think, he made us sit up and take notice. He is a remarkable man and we will certainly be getting him back to inspire us.
