However, his determination to improve himself and learn from others set him on a trajectory of rapid growth.
When he was 18, his best friend's older brother offered him a job selling cars at a local dealership, promising Andy a potential income of $5,000 a month.
His career in the automotive industry began with an auspicious start — on his very first day as a car salesman he accidentally sold a car, surprising even his managers.
One of his managers gave Andy some life-changing advice.

Within a year Andy had bought a new house and a Corvette.
