"I work with people of substance
to build businesses of substance"
andrew griffiths, the entrepreneurial futurist
G’day, I’m Andrew Griffiths
Thanks for making the time to visit my website. I'm known as The Entrepreneurial Futurist - because I specialise in helping entrepreneurs and business owners to future proof themselves. And let's be honest, in a world spinning ever faster, where we all struggle to keep up with the rate of change, it's very easy to lose relevance, and once lost, it's impossible to regain.
If I can sum up what I do in one sentence - I help people of substance to build businesses of substance. I draw on my own 35 year experience as a business owner and entrepreneur in all that I do. I share what I've got right as much as what I've got wrong, through a host of platforms and tools.
As a bestselling author, entrepreneur and global presenter, I get to work with some extraordinary people and organisations. I've written 14 books, sold in over 65 countries around the world and presented over 750 keynotes, workshops and presentations for a huge range of organisations in 25 countries. My clients include everyone from new and aspiring business owners right through to global companies and organisations including the European Union, CBS, Hewlett Packard and many more.
At the same time I’ve built a strong reputation as a trainer and mentor, helping people to become world-class communicators through writing books and building their speaker skills. I run all kinds of specialised training programmes and workshops, where I share the knowledge and expertise that has helped me to build a successful global business.
My belief is that there are a number of strategies behind future-proofing ourselves, either as individuals, business owners, companies and even industries. I draw on my frameworks and experience developed over many years to give practical advice on the futureproofing process.
If you're looking for any of the following, I can certainly help -
- Do you need a highly experienced, international standard speaker for your event?
- Would you like to build a strong, solid and sustainable business?
- Do you want to write a high-quality book to grow your business and your personal brand?
- Are you ready to develop your speaker skills and perhaps your speaker business?
I can help with all of the above and a lot more. All of the information is on my site. Or you can email me directly at if you'd like to discuss working with me.
If you've ever felt that you simply don't charge enough or get paid enough for what you do in your business, then this is the book for you.
The culmination of 40 years in business and my fourteenth book, this is without a doubt, a must for every small business owner.

Zero to Hero
Some might say that mine is a ‘rags to riches’ story, and I guess that’s true. But, if you’re thinking I shot to fame in some kind of overnight success, you couldn’t be further from the truth…
I don’t know exactly when or where I was born, I just know that my start in life was as an orphan. Like thousands of other kids in this situation, I ended up in the system. That could have led to the sad and predictable story, but I refused to be a victim.
Cut to 35 years later I’m an entrepreneur on the global stage, the best selling author of 14 books and a ‘small business authority’ in the media. I teach big business how to talk to small business, small business how to think big, and individuals to build the business they have spent their life dreaming about.I've had incredible life experiences, I share these through my speaking, my writing and my training - and I'm passionate about helping others find that unique spark buried within them.
This video is a TEDx talk I did titled "Imagine if we were 33% less angry". Enjoy.
