About
Andy Bailey can cut through organizational BS faster than a hot knife through butter, showing organizations the logjams thwarting their success and coaching them past the excuses we all use to avoid doing what needs to be done. He doesn’t ask for what’s easy, only what’s possible, and with his assistance the possible often expands to include the formerly impossible, as organizations learn that one step at a time gets you a long way when you step up to the challenge everyday. After all, as he tells his clients, 100% annual growth is only 2% growth every week. It’s not easy. But certainly possible. Andy learned to build great organizations by building his own great businesses, starting in college then, growing into an Inc. 500 multi-million dollar national companies then successfully selling and exiting. He founded Petra Coach in partnership with Gazelles to pass on to other entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders the principles and practices he used to build his successful enterprises, which are rooted in the Rockefeller Habits methodology
In addition to building successful companies, Andy founded the Wireless Reseller Council, served as the Global Membership Director for the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, encompassing 140+ worldwide. He is a two-time finalist for Nashville Executive of the Year and has been honored as Nashville’s Volunteer of the Year. Regularly speaks to groups of business leaders and finds time to climb 14'ers in Colorado as well and compete in several Tough Mudder races each year.

Personal Highlights
Andy Bailey lives mostly in Franklin TN, a small civil war town just south of Nashville and some of the time at the beaches along the gulf coast in the panhandle of Florida with his Wife of 25 years Nicole and his two girls, Madison now attending Belmont University and Gracen is playing volleyball at Loyola. Oh, and a dog and cat. He regularly is running races, mostly 1/2 Marathons or Tough Mudders and takes a annual trip to Colorado to climb the 14,000 summits of several mountains on a quest to maximize his fitness level.
“Success in business comes from a company’s ability to focus and execute its strategic plans. Andy Bailey and his philosophy of ‘No Try, Only Do’ has been proven to dramatically increase both the probability and speed of success in any business.”
“I have been in and around the FENG (Financial Executives Networking Group) for 10-15 years now. I have heard a lot of presentations but Andy’s presentation today may have been the best I have heard, and potentially the most impactful.”
“I sat in on Andy’s seminar this morning at the Country Radio Seminar, and I have to say it was the BEST session that I was part of this week. I run 23 radio stations and resonated with all the topics/points that you brought up concerning time management, being interrupted, etc. I took a lot away from the program and it is greatly appreciated!”
“I can’t wait to really dig into the materials Andy presented to us last night. The Petra Planning Playbook will be my constant companion from here on out. My business bible. When I need the answer to a question involving my business, I’ll just ask ‘What would Petra do?’”
