How I Turned a Failed Book That Sold One Copy Into a $750,000 Goldmine

5 days ago | marketinglegend.medium.com | Andrew Wood

There’s a strange kind of heartbreak that comes when a product you know is good , solid, useful, d sits there collecting dust. That was me, staring at a book I’d written called Legendary Achievement, feeling slightly insulted by reality. It had sold exactly one copy. Now, let’s be clear. This wasn’t a bad book. It was classic personal development 101 — goal-setting, clarity, momentum. The kind of material that changes lives if people actually apply it. It just didn’t sell. Why?

5 days ago | worldsbestgolfdestinations.com | Andrew Wood

Most people think of Florida as high-rise beachfront condos, traffic, palm trees, crowded beaches, and Disneyland. But there is another Florida on the forgotten northwest coast. One where miles and miles of road wind their way just feet from the bays of the Gulf of Mexico with nothing more between you and the emerald water than a few rocks.
10 Unshakable Habits That Fuel Success

6 days ago | medium.com | Andrew Wood

These aren’t theories from a podcast or fluff from a self-help book. These are the habits I’ve lived by — through booms and busts, business wins and personal reinventions. They’ve served me for decades, and I believe they’ll serve you too. Reading is a skill everybody has, yet fewer and fewer people use it. Sure, you can listen to podcasts or watch videos — and I often do — but reading gives you speed and control.
From Zero to a Hundred Grand in 12 Months at 28

For a little more than a decade — from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s — I was immersed in the karate business. What started with one modest school in San Marcos, California, built on little more than a stubborn dream, eventually became a national chain of over 400 schools. I didn’t do it through black-belt skill or martial arts mystique. I did it through marketing. Not classroom theory. Not ad agency fluff.

Nigel’s Plans Have Gone Horribly Wrong!

1 week ago | marketinglegend.medium.com | Andrew Wood

Back in 1979, the British band XTC gave us the now-iconic “Making Plans for Nigel,” a song about a young man whose future had already been pre-decided by well-meaning parents and the corporate machine. Nigel, they sang, had his future “in British Steel,” and that was supposed to be a good thing. Stable. Secure. Sensible. But now, in 2025, Nigel’s plans have gone… well, a bit wrong.
When Markets Crash, Golf Clubs Feel It Fast!

Andrew Wood·Follow3 min read·--The Dow tanks. Portfolios shrink. Panic headlines flash across every screen. And just like that, even your wealthiest members start to act differently. It’s not always about how much money they’ve actually lost. It’s about how they feel. And when people feel poorer, they behave like it — even if they’re still driving a Mercedes and living in a gated community. For golf clubs, this psychological shift hits hard — and fast. 1.
The Boulders Resort & Spa - Twelve Million Years in the Making!

2 weeks ago | worldsbestgolfdestinations.com | Andrew Wood

As was the case with many of my resorts visits back in the ’80s and ’90s, the first place I ever saw the Boulders was a quarter-page ad in Golf Digest. It was 1985, and I’d just moved from Florida to Orange County, California. I was working as a gopher for a rich guy who would occasionally take me to play golf. I saw the ad with a giant boulder and knew at once I had to play there. The only problem was that an in-season room night, including a round of golf, was a third of my monthly paycheck.
Three Donald Ross Courses in One Special Resort

There are certain special places in the world that every time you visit, it feels like coming home. Pine Needles is one of those places: familiar, comforting, classic. The smell of the pine trees, dogwoods, and azaleas in the air. The view from the lounge balcony of the vast practice ground beckoning us range rats with its’ pristine turf and Titleist range balls. The huge putting green, the clock, the first tee, and the giant 18th green behind it.

Member-only storyAndrew Wood·Follow3 min read·--Mar-a-Lago, FL — In a stunning pivot from his infamous attempt to buy Greenland, former President Donald J. Trump has now reportedly made a “very serious, very classy” offer to purchase the Principality of Monaco. “Look, I gave Greenland a chance. Lots of ice, not a lot of glitz,” Trump told reporters while sipping Diet Coke from a goblet shaped like the Eiffel Tower. “Monaco? Now that’s luxury real estate. Very compact. Very European.
