About the author
Andrew Jobling
13 books8 followersAndrew Jobling started out as a passionate but clueless footballer. With a vision of and obsession about a long and lucrative professional football career in mind, little time was left to consider other insignificant things in life … reading, academics and education.
After being beaten around the head many times and in pain for most of his football career he decided to launch into in the health & fitness industry. After all the abuse he received from heartless fitness trainers in his professional sporting career, it was payback time! He spent the next 15 years passionate about helping people with their health and wellbeing.
In 2002 he made, what appeared to be, an illogical and irrational decision. At the time he was running two businesses, working 15 hour days and 7 days per week. He had a personal training business that was putting money into his bank account and café that was taking it straight back out again.
Nevertheless, with no qualifications, background, ability or time he decided to write a book!
With a powerful message he wanted to convey, committing small pockets of time to writing each day and with a strong desire to get it done, two years later Andrew was holding his first book Eat Chocolate Drink Alcohol and be Lean & Healthy in his hands. He is still quite puzzled but immensely grateful as to how it actually happened.
That seemingly accidental decision catapulted his career into a completely different direction and put him on a wonderful path as an author, speaker and mentor. He now passionately spends his time writing and helping people all around the world fulfill their dream of becoming a published author.
Andrew jokes that it happened ‘by accident’ and that he is an Accidental Author, but the truth is he believes that there really are no accidents in life;
‘We create our destiny by dreaming bigger than most people would think reasonable, by believing in ourselves more than most people would think sensible, by making decisions that most people would think illogical and continuing to act way beyond the point that most people would have given up.'

This is a book that i plan to add to my personal bookshelf and re-read regularly. The love that Jobling had for his mother is clear in the way that he continues to honour her even today, and by sharing the valuable lessons he learnt from her. I love how each chapter starts with a quote, and it inspires greater thinking and self care, as well as surrounding ourselves with love, support and positivity.
