Today, Andrew Griffiths is known for being a bestselling author and a global presenter. Of course, he is an overnight success right? Well like most overnight successes, where he is today is the end result of a lot of hard work, taking more than his fair share of risks, falling over often but always getting back up, dusting himself off, learning his lesson and keeping on going.

Over many years, Griffiths learned that there are three important keys to success – resilience, belief and determination. Master these and everything changes. See how it changed me…

A few of the things he is proud of achieving over the years are:

– Being an author for over 20 years, having written 13 bestselling books sold in over 65 countries (and #14 has just been released).

– He is also a frustrated zoologist, having been bitten, scratched, chased and held hostage by animals in every corner of the world.
– He is not Andy Griffiths the kid’s author, although they’ve had many cases of mistaken identity that are very funny.

Hopefully, he’s got lots more ahead.
