Hi, I’m Andrew Holt, creator of The Journal for Goal Achievement. I’m an entrepreneur in the cloud software industry, a chartered IT consultant, lifestyle enthusiast, and the face behind the Andy Holt YouTube channel, where I share insights on fitness, lifestyle, and goal achievement, focusing on personal growth and development.
My mission is to help others achieve their goals and create the lifestyle they’ve always dreamed of. I developed and tested a system for goal achievement that helped me transform my own life, and now I share these methods so others can do the same. You can explore my Trustpilot reviews for more on how people have benefited from this approach.
I live in North Manchester with my family, enjoying life as a business owner, frequent traveller, and project enthusiast. I’m passionate about lifestyle design through goal-setting, productivity techniques, and maintaining health and fitness as the foundation for success.
My Journey
I come from humble beginnings. At six, I tragically lost my mother, and my early years were spent with my father and two brothers in a working-class environment. Growing up in a tough neighbourhood, I decided at an early age—around 12—that I didn’t want that life for myself. I committed to studying hard, getting a job, and climbing the career ladder. My career path led me through various roles in engineering, construction, project management, and eventually as a technology specialist.
Despite achieving professional success, I realized that I was following a path set by society, not one driven by my own dreams. In 2013, I decided to go my own way and started my technology consulting business. It wasn’t long before I took the next step: transitioning from a consultancy to a software company. Though I knew little about building or selling software at the time, I bootstrapped my way through, learning the hard way by overcoming inefficiencies and gaining valuable lessons.
By 2019, I found myself at a crossroads. I had made poor decisions in my business, neglected my health, and my personal relationships suffered. Despite working tirelessly, everything seemed to fall apart. This was a wake-up call, and I realized that my intense focus on work had caused me to neglect the most important aspects of life: my health, well-being, and relationships.
Determined to change, I began studying human performance and mental mastery. I also sought the guidance of an executive coach, which transformed how I approached goal-setting and personal development. By implementing better systems, I was able to regain control of my life and significantly reduce my work hours while dramatically increasing my productivity.
Today, I work 12 to 15 hours a week, achieving three to four times more than I ever did working 60 to 80 hours a week.
“I went from working sixty to eighty hours a week to working just twelve to fifteen hours a week, while achieving three to four times the output.”
-Andy Holt
I’m proud to say that I rescued my technology business, transforming it into a thriving enterprise that now serves regulated industries such as nuclear, defence, rail, housing, and infrastructure.
Health and Personal Growth
In addition to rebuilding my business, I overhauled my lifestyle. Through a new fitness regime and diet, I lost over 25kg of body fat and built lean muscle. Health and fitness are now central to my success, and they’ve become non-negotiable habits in my life. I share these principles regularly on my YouTube channel, where I discuss the power of whole-food diets and disciplined training.
One of my greatest achievements, beyond the business or material successes, is the restoration of my family relationships. Through understanding how to build healthy, supportive relationships, my immediate and extended family have grown closer, and we now support one another in our shared goals.

My Creative Philosophy
Everything on this website, from the photos to the videos, was created by me. I take pride in my authenticity and originality, whether it’s content on my YouTube channel or the images I’ve captured on my travels. I don’t use AI narration or faceless content in my videos because I believe in the power of real, authentic connection.
While AI can be a useful tool, I insist on maintaining a personal touch in everything I create. It’s important to me that the work I share comes from my own experiences and perspective.
As for the pointing in my photos? It’s just a bit of fun. Keep watching, and all will be revealed soon!
