In the Loop with Andy Andrews

On this week’s episode, I give the inside scoop on my short story Socks for Christmas and also do a live reading of the entire book.   In this reading of Socks for Christmas, you will hear a childhood story about how the gift of socks is one of the greatest reminders I have for being grateful.   I love talking about the inside scoop on some of these books, and to see the way that people use these stories to help others.   In the picture below, Jan Burch in Key West, FL, organized a Sock Drive with her ladies club.   On the cover of Socks for Christmas, that is my sister Christie and me on Christmas of ’68. •            I was nine years old •            Christie was four   On page nine, that is a picture of me at May May and Granddaddy’s house on Christmas morning.   On page 12, for Christmas Eve we would have a birthday cake and sing happy birthday to Jesus and it was always great. My family still does that.   On page 21, that is a picture of Christie in Dothan, AL. This was the same year that she was “Little Miss Sunbeam” on the Sunbeam float in the Peanut Festival Parade.   I also love the pictures of the different popular presents at the time •            Matchbox Cars •            Operation •            Candy Land •            Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots   If you order Socks for Christmas from AndyAndrews.com, they all come with a CD of Andy reading the story. All copies ordered before Tuesday, Dec. 17 2013 will be autographed.   Questions for Listeners   Do you have a question?

On this week’s episode, I explain what a personal board of directors is, and how you can create one for your life and/or business without spending a dime.             I realized that most major companies and great speakers had a group of people that keeps them on track.             I thought to myself, why can’t I have a board of directors? •                My first answer was because I didn’t have any money •                However, you don’t have to pay someone to be on your board of directors…if they don’t know they’re on it!   I want to find people who are…. •                Better •                Smarter •                Wiser •                More productive   What’s important? •                My children •                My writing •                Speaking •                Finances •                Health   Mentally, I went though the people I loved and knew. I wrote down the people with long marriages or who were financially successful. I then started going through people who were in newspapers and were easy to follow. I called this group my board of directors.    This is a life application of the decision, I will seek wisdom.   I have 30 or 40 people on my board of directors.   Normal.dotm 0 0 1 158 903 Smith House Audio 7 1 1108 12.0 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria;} First thing: Make a list of important things in your life.
