Meet Andrew Kap

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Andrew Kap. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Andrew, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

As an author, with my current main focus being on the Law of Attraction, I first discovered it about 20 years ago, in my search for the “secret” to happiness and success.

It was just one modality of many, and for the longest time, I always viewed it as very “hit-and-miss” — an inconsistent theory (rather than an absolute law) — not realizing that the only inconsistent part of the equation — was me.

It wasn’t until about four years later, when I lost my longtime girlfriend and business all within a few days of one another, that I had to take a long look in the mirror and take responsibility for my complete lack of progress in my life.

It was then that I had a simultaneous epiphany and moment of indignation, when, looking back on the prior four years, I realized that things in my life actually began getting better ANYTIME I actually practiced methods related to the Law of Attraction — only for things to quickly fizzle when I’d quit doing the methods for no good reason whatsoever.

I then told myself, “I don’t care what happens, when it happens, why it happens, or how it happens — I’m done “quitting” this process. I’m going ALL IN on this whole ‘law of attraction’ thing once and for all. And by all in, I don’t mean all day, every day — that’s an impossible recipe for failure. I simply mean what I had already done in the past that started getting me results before I quit — just a few minutes a day. Of gratitude. Or visualization. Or just feeling good while thinking about what I have or what I want. And just to make sure I don’t blow it this time, I’m going to modify the manifesting methods I know AND create new ones to make sure EVERY one that I do EVERY single day is genuinely FUN. That way, failure will become impossible. I’ll do it for as long as I have to, and it won’t feel like a chore because every day will be something to look forward to, regardless of any results.”

Once I made that decision, my life was almost like a movie. Within two weeks, I felt WAY better than anyone with a broken heart had any business feeling. Within three months, I was in a brand new, way healthier relationship with someone who was so much more aligned with me. Within four months, I was making more money than at any point in my life before then. And within six months, everything was different. I was waking up happy and fulfilled and was in the best shape of my life. And I basically learned the hard way that this “Law of Attraction” thing — whatever it actually really is — it works when you work it.

I waited eleven years after that before finally giving myself permission to write a book about what I learned. And when I began working on it in 2019, I made myself a promise to only publish it if I genuinely believed I could bring something new that no other law of attraction book had ever offered it’s readers.

Five years, thousands of positive reviews, and over 150,000 readers later, I’m grateful to be living this purpose of adding clarity to a topic that so many tend to overcomplicate, providing content in various formats around this area of life, along with any others that inspire me as well.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

In terms of having a business or “job” — or however else one might describe their own unique fit in life — some are lucky enough to discover it, while others are bold enough to decide it. I’ve sort of simultaneously done both. My gifts come into play through my ability to focus on topics that many often find overwhelming (or overcomplicate for themselves), and I then condense those topics into actionable, user-friendly, more consumable content.

It’s usually books like “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read,” which, as the title implies, provides readers with a unique understanding of the topic that no other so-called “expert” or book has ever been able to do — by going the extra mile of addressing WHY people who get excited about using manifesting methods and techniques STILL can’t manage to get into a habit of using them for even just five minuets a day. I solve this for them, once and for all, by showing them where the block really is, along without to finally get past it.

Or it’s books like “3 Words I Used To Sell 100,000 Books,” which I wrote in answer to all of the people who kept asking me how I, an unknown independent author with no big-time publisher or marketing team behind me, was able to sell so many books, bank thousands of five-star reviews, and keep my law of attraction book on top of various Amazon best-seller lists for years.

Basically, if I’m interested in it, and people are asking about it, and I’ve done it well enough myself to articulate a solution for it — that’s how I know it’s time to write a new book or offer some other kind of new content in some way.

What really motivates and excites me is in being able to spot these gaps wherever I may find them, and then letting my creativity come in to provide the right kind of solution for the right kind of person.

Case in point, my latest book “Just Feel Good” was written because readers of “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read” would write to me and rave about the book, but I’d also discover that they were hesitant to recommend it to others because they were worried or embarrassed that the stigmatizing concept of the “Law of Attraction” itself might make them seem too hokey to their friends and loved ones.

So I used “Just Feel Good” as my opportunity to roughly cover the same content — in a way more condensed format (at less than 100 pages), while managing to describe it without EVER using the terms “Law of Attraction” or “Manifest” in any of the explanations.

The best part about my “work” is I never know what I might write about next. It all depends on whatever gap I discover in the market that I’m excited to simplify for others. It can be anything, and the endless possibilities light me up every day.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, if I had to narrow it down to the three most important qualities to impact my journey, I would say they come down to: gratitude, resilience, and my willingness to learn.

While many pay tons of lip service to gratitude, they often don’t realize how significant and impactful it really is. By feeling good, grateful for what you have, appreciative of any and all people, experiences, moments, results, opportunities, etc., you’re installing a truly powerful multiplier to any momentum you might have in the moment. Gratitude turns pennies into dollars, ideas into results, and dreams into reality.

But when things aren’t going even slightly well on the surface, that’s where resilience and a refusal to quit really comes in for you. True resilience will bolster your enthusiasm in the face of failure and motivate you to stick with even the slightest bit of sustained effort, which can make all the difference when you’re trying to create something out of what seems like thin air.

But if you’re really going to get the most out of your gratitude and your resilience, you need to know that even your failures aren’t for nothing, and your successes have more lessons waiting for you than you realize. That’s why having a willingness to learn on both good days and bad, on experiences that are both inspiring and discouraging, when you’re on the cusp of something big or it feels like you just missed — will help make sure you’re building your skills, insights, and all the wisdom you’ll need to have an even better tomorrow no matter what. This is how I’ve not only invited my success, but compounded it as well.

As for the best way to develop or improve on any of these, the answer is deceptively simple and, until you build proper habits, surprisingly difficult as well. And that’s to just practice every day.

Practice begin grateful. That’s why one of my favorite methods that I teach is the “Gratitude Blitz,” where all you do is set a timer for a few minutes and think of as many things to be grateful for in your life as possible.

Practice being resilient. Failure isn’t the end of the game, it’s part of it. Baseball hall-of-famers fail seven times out of ten. And what do they have to show for it? Millions in the bank, their families taken care of, priceless memories, a life fulfilled, and maybe even a world series ring or two. But only because after striking out, they’re right back up at the plate next time, ready to swing for the fences one more time.

And practice being willing to learn. Make it fun. Make it interesting. Make it second nature. Keep doing it, and then — use what you learn. That will make you even more enthusiastic about learning something else next time.

What would you advise – going all in on your strengths or investing on areas where you aren’t as strong to be more well-rounded?

More than we might realize, the best answer to “either-or” questions is often the third “hidden” option, which is “a combination of both.”

After all, while it’s easy to rationalize putting an emphasis on either going all in on one’s strengths OR focusing on weaknesses for a more well-rounded result … the truth is that a ton of value can be gleaned in either approach, which is why neither should be ignored.

Now that doesn’t mean I’m recommending a 50/50 split of each. I tend to lean in the direction of 75-80% leaning on strengths while reserving a solid 20-25% of focus, energy, and investment on reducing areas of weakness — especially when those areas might make a critical difference in one’s insight or understanding of their job or business.

For example, take someone making their living as an artist/painter. Obviously, in order for them to be as successful (AND fulfilled) as they can be, they must continually work on their craft, grow, and improve.

But their talent will do them little good when it’s time to be paid for their efforts. And unless they wish to be at the complete mercy of others who may or may not be trustworthy, the successful painter must also have a reasonable understanding of pricing, negotiation, marketing, and other soft or hard skills to help make sure they’re creating and enjoying the most opportunity possible in return for their talent and effort.

Me personally, for example — not only have I written and edited 100% of my books, but I’ve also designed every single book cover, personally recorded every audiobook version, and spearheaded every social media initiative.

This is important because not only do I have an experiential insight into all of these areas to help me grow within each of them myself, but I also understand each one more intimately and can better approach any scenario if I ever hire someone else to do any of it and there’s a disagreement on pricing, approach, or anything else.

On the other hand, since I’ve never worked on cars myself, if a mechanic ever tells me that works needs to be done on my car, and it’s going to be expensive, the only option I have other than paying the high price, is trying another mechanic to see if I get a better answer. But either way, in this specific case, I am not in control of the outcome to any measure that I’m comfortable with.

So my answer is …be strong in your gifts. But be well-rounded enough to honor and support those gifts as well.
