Getting to share my experiences with others, always hoping they will learn from my mistakes. And the lessons I've learned.
Andrea Michaels
I write about my experiences, which have always been inspiring. I am a lucky person in that I produce events all over the world, and I've met incredibly funny, warm, wonderful people. Some of my experiences will have you shaking your head, laughing and crying at the same time. Sometimes I feel like a magician always pulling rabbits out of my hat. But, it's a fun life full of hard work, inspiration and great reward.

I haven't experienced it yet, and I've been writing since I was 5 years old!

I met a young man who by age 16 was the CEO of several companies and is a model for what young people can and should achieve. He comes from a deprived background and has dreams of changing the world. I believe he will, and I want to write the book for youngsters to read and find a way in their own lives to model themselves for the better good.

I wrote the book for personal satisfaction AND because I hope that, in addition to being a fun read, it will inspire young people and women – two distinct populations I am dedicated to educating. Young people need to understand that their own power and internal drive can lead them to thinking creatively and decisively on more levels than tapping the keys on their computers for solutions. And women need to know that there is no “glass ceiling” if they can figure out a way to work around it. They have to believe that they can do anything, including raise a child, enjoy a marriage, run a business (do I sound like a Helen Reddy song?) and do it all successfully and happily without sacrificing any one of these relationships.
My stories are about survival – business survival, and about approaches to challenges and how to overcome them. Business is no more than one element of life, and surviving in business is the same as surviving in life. It’s all about approach and attitude.
