Andrew Ford - The e-ttractionist

e-ttraction - "A force under the influence of which objects tend to move towards each other"

After a decade of leading the digital marketing strategies for some of the world's largest companies, Andrew turned his attention to discovering how people could best use social media and digital technologies to lead more fulfilling lives. Andrew has completed several business degrees, lectured at Australia's most prestigious Universities and worked for global corporations in international marketing roles. He is on the cutting edge of digital marketing and social media advising high profile celebrities and senior executives on personal branding and digital strategy. 

Andrew's difference is that he blends personal development with digital strategy in his unique e-ttraction methodology. Having grown up in an ultra hippy household in the 1970's, Andrew was introduced to personal development early in his life. Training in NLP and accelerated educational development since the age of 15 he has a unique perspective sitting on the line between corporate consultant and personal development coach. The balance of these two seemingly different paths is what impresses his clients and audiences alike.

Also wanted to thank you for all the help you have provided over recent years – it has made a huge difference and I really appreciate your advice.

Don’t know what you did when I caught up for that chat for 2 hours. Best $500 or whatever it was that I spent. Seems I’ve more clarity and now see and sell myself as a product in high demand. Will start reading the book that arrived. Bit worried it might have a similar effect. Thanks Andrew!

Better Body 12 Weeks

Build a Better Body for working dads

Build a Better Body for working dads

Apart from running a successful consulting business, Andrew is a single dad of two young boys.  He prides himself on keeping fit to maximise his business performance, set a good example for his boys and be able to keep up with their sporting passions. 

Andrew began his sporting career in an unusual way. He was raised by a single mother with hippy ideals – something that exposed him to a diverse variety of ideas and lifestyles. Vegetarianism, growing your own food, yoga, eastern philosophy, and alternative medicine were all part of his childhood experience. This might be hipster cool now, but growing up in suburban Melbourne in the 1980’s, this was quite strange!

Andrew wasn’t allowed to compete in traditional sports like football and cricket and instead, he expressed his sporting ability in martial arts. Studying Judo, attaining a black belt in Karate and full contact Maui Thai honed his training and commitment to fitness. 

This is not a short cut to massive arms or rock hard abs. It’s simple and effective advice from one dad to another. A better life through good health is the primary outcome. Download free.
