Andy Harrington Review: How Good Are The Live Events?

I’ve been researching Andy Harrington and today will share my opinions.

Across the world, there are more and more speakers coming to the stages every day. But can they genuinely get you results?

Time to review Andy Harrington and his training program based in the United Kingdom, Singapore and Australia. Also, I read his Power to Achieve book.

Let’s jump straight in.

Andy Harrington Review

There are speakers who have spoken on stages for 5 minutes and call themselves ‘gurus’, then you’ve got Andy Harrington, someone who has been doing it for decades.

But then, does he actually deliver on what he claims? Since there are times where certain speakers make such sensational claims in order to get credit cards out.

See – I’ve been around the block for almost 10 years. In fact, I started this blog in 2011 and have been to just about every personal development seminar out there.

Some would call me a personal development junkie. That’s one hat that I’ll wear with pride.

In that time, I’ve seen the best from the rest. When I recently had the opportunity to head along to a 3-day event with Andy Harrington speaking, I was actually sceptical. While I didn’t think it was a scam, I just had my guard right up.

On the other hand, there are people with toxic positivity. They can’t see the stains on the carpet and believe in manifesting instant millions.

I’ve felt there is a lot of BS going around the industry nowadays. Extravagant claims on stages globally that just can’t be backed up with conclusive data and results.

For that reason, I think you’ll find this Andy Harrington review to be quite raw.

Power to Achieve Weekend Bootcamp

This is Andy’s premier 3-day event. He runs them around the world including Malaysia, Singapore, the UK and Australia. They are paid events as is Professional Speakers University as Fully Booked Bootcamp and Millionaire Mentor.

Also, there is Message to Millions and 1-day Passion into Profit events. These are really just teaser style events without much of the deeper content that I crave.

(It’s clear that Andy Harrington runs numerous events with his Jet Set Speaker company)

Power to Achieve starts on a Friday at 9am sharp. At registration, I found it very easy and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Presumably, they have all been through his training weekends before.

Waiting out in the foyer was 100+ people. A mixed bag really – young and old. I was curious about what these people did for a living since it was Friday. I’m fortunate in that I have an online business that gives me massive flexibility.

Now, I have read Andy Harrington’s Passion into Profit book which I can summarize as: “Your passion could be the secret ingredient in which to build a business that lights you up in the morning. For most, that requires transcending the limitations on what we think is possible in order to get our message out to the world.”

Was this 3 day weekend a live version of this? Yes. While you can learn plenty via books, there is fantastic value to be found in a room full of likeminded people who are eager to change their lives. This included multiple live exercises and I took plenty of notes.

The event itself

All 3 days were fantastic in terms of actionable content. As I’ve been to so many seminars, I’ve realized that they often just tease people with information. Not here.

Andy delivered the goods and provided us with a concrete plan of what to do so we can monetize our passions. His success stories mostly comprised of those who help others make more money, as opposed to dog training or knitting.

That said, if you’re eager to launch a YouTube channel then this is one way to get some momentum happening without wasting years of your time.

Downsides? A couple.

Firstly – lunch wasn’t included. Not a problem for me (dietary restrictions) but it was raining for most of the weekend so was tough to head outside for some people without umbrellas. Uber Eats was a godsend.

Secondly – the upsell. Experience has taught me that free seminars always have upsells, otherwise, how would they make their coin, right? Andy Harrington did sell an expensive consulting program ‘Speakers Academy’ but it did offer great value if you wanted to save yourself a lot of time.

While not everyone’s cup of tea, I love upsells personally as I enjoy seeing the message, the pitch and final offer. Nope – I didn’t buy, my journey is different.

All in all, one of the better events I’ve been to. He’s clearly been in the industry for a while and is professional in his approach, with much praise from other attendees.

Andy Harrington Net Worth

Curious to how much he’s made over the years with his various business and current assets? Me too, so I went searching online for the answer:

Andy Harrington’s Networth as of February 2020 is approximately $2,700,000 USD according to a recent report. He’s generated millions of dollars and a good portion of his wealth through his main company Jet Set Speaker based in East London.

What I’ve noticed is that there are 500 people in the audience for every 1 professional speaker. It’s certainly a high-income skill to have in the quiver.

Wrapping up

Did I enjoy the event? Definitely with great value for money.

But then, is Andy Harrington for everyone? Nope. If you think this is a scam, then it’s not for you. Public speaking and his Speakers Academy programs are highly praised by dozens of his students.

Most people were highly engaged during the weekend bootcamp I attended. Some people left early as it wasn’t for them. What’s evident is that there is a lot of value upfront, so people are more willing to enrol at the end as students.

In other words, Andy needs to do is very best to provide as much as possible. It’s that old saying “If I can help enough people get what they want, then I’ll get what I want…”

Then again, is the ‘position yourself as the expert’ strategy for coaches and consultants a good fit for everyone? No. It’s going to require really getting out of your comfort zone, as we did numerous times over the boot camp.

Instead, some people will find more value in building an online business from home. The type of business where they can start small and grow over time.

That’s the type of business that I like the best, and one that I’ve been building for years. I find the more successful I become, the less I share on social media.

While the weekend bootcamp was legitimately awesome and Andy’s students are doing well, being silently successful is an avenue I choose to go down instead.
