TERRI: Hey, I'm Terri Savelle Foy, your cheerleader of dreams.
Hey, I want to share something with you that's really special
to me and I've never done on a podcast before. Now, I've been
recording this little podcast for 10 years now, and this is
the first time I've ever done this. I wrote a book called
"Dream It, Pin It, Live It," all about how to make vision boards
work for you. Now, I'm a big believer in having a vision
board. In fact, you should see the one in my office. It's
massive because I've seen what it's produced in my life.
Everything from getting my books in bookstores to sharing the
stage with John Maxwell, motivating the Dallas Cowboys
cheerleaders, even meeting Oprah Winfrey. Well, I want to teach
you how to make a vision board to see your dreams come to life,
and I want you to understand why in the world you even need a
vision board. Now, I'm doing this by giving away this book
absolutely free. You just have to pay the shipping to help me
mail it to you. But, this is not a joke or a gimmick. We are
giving this book away 100% free, you just pay the shipping. But
first, let me explain. You know the famous Helen Keller, she was
blind and deaf, and they asked her one time, they said, "What
could be worse than having no sight?" She said, "To have sight
but have no vision." That would be the worst thing, to have
sight but have no vision for your life. Now, let me explain
to you why it's vitally important that you have a vision
and a vision board. Let's just imagine it's pouring down rain
outside. You jump in your car. You turn the car on. It turns on
fine. You turn on your lights, you turn on your air
conditioning, whatever it is. Everything seems to be working,
even the radio, except for one thing. Pouring down rain, and
your windshield wiper is not working. How many of you know
you're not going anywhere? See, as long as your vision is
impaired, you're going to stay where you are. And it's the same
with life. If you have no vision, then this year will just
be a repeat of last year. In fact, the Bible tells us in
Proverbs 29:18, "Where there is no vision, the people perish."
Now, obviously the word perish means die. The word die, it
means die. I looked it up. Well, that's what's happening. If you
don't have a vision, something that you're aiming towards, then
you're just perishing year after year. In fact, they've proven
that the average person who retires dies within three years
of retirement. Why? Because they had no vision, no reason, no
purpose to get up in the morning and aim towards something. Well,
once you get a dream, a vision, a goal to aim towards, you won't
be in this same place next year at this time. I'm telling you
from experience. And you know I love getting testimonies from
people who have read this book, they're making their vision
boards and now they're truly living their dreams. I think
about a girl in Minnesota who opened up her own gym. She was a
fitness trainer for years, and then she said, "I want my own
gym." She sent me pictures of her standing in front of her gym
saying, "I did it." Then, a lady in Colorado, she had been
driving a bus for 31 years. Nothing wrong with that, but she
said, "I just felt like God has more for my life." Well, she
read the book. She made a vision board. She said, "Terri, I just
got my real estate license to start selling homes in Vail,
Colorado." I love that. Well, I'm thinking about a single mom
of four kids recently divorced living in Switzerland. She took
a train to come hear me speak in Germany, and after hearing this
message, she made her vision board, launched her own cleaning
company, and she said, "I'm hiring employees." Isn't that
amazing? I think about another couple who opened their own
restaurant in Mississippi, and they were voted one of the best
restaurants in their city. Well, in fact just recently I was
in Denver, and I met this precious girl after I spoke at a
conference, and she could hardly wait to come up to me with a
letter printed out of everything she has achieved since she made
her vision board. She said she started watching this podcast 18
months ago on YouTube, and she said for the first time, she
decided to stop watching everybody else live their dreams
and get serious about going after hers. Now, listen to some
of the things that she has achieved in less than two years.
She lost 70 pounds, she bought her dream car, a Jeep, she went
skydiving, she completed her nursing exam after failing it in
the past, she has read 50 books in less than two years, she
moved to Denver and got her dream job, she got a $5000
signing bonus, and she said she's tripled her income. That
amazes me. But, I'm telling you this can happen to you. In fact,
I heard someone say, "The worst day in Heaven would be when God
gives you a glimpse of all that you could've had, all that you
could've done, and all that you could've been, but for some
reason you gave up. For some reason you wouldn't give
yourself permission to dream." Well, God has so much more for
your life, but you've got to get crystal clear on what you want.
In fact, Steve Harvey says, "If you can see it in your mind, you
can hold it in your hand." Well, one of the most important keys
to success is to grab a pen and paper and write your dreams and
goals. In fact, there was a professor at Virginia Tech who
did research on successful people and people who write
their goals. He said he walked up to random people on the
street and he just asked them one question. He said, "What are
your goals? What are your goals for life?" He said 80% said, "I
don't know. I don't have any." Sixteen percent said, "I have
some, but I've never written them down." Three percent said,
"I've written my goals at some point, but I don't know where
they are." One percent said, "I have goals. I've written them
down, and I review them on a consistent basis." In other
words, they're constantly before my eyes. He said, "Do you know
who the the 1% were? Millionaires." And the clues
these millionaires gave us is number one, I have dreams and
goals. Number two, I write them down. And number three, I keep
them before my eyes. Well, this principle comes from the Word of
God. God's the one who said in Habakkuk 2:2, "Write the vision,
and make it plain." Well, you have to have a vision, and
you've got to keep it before your eyes. You've heard that
expression, "Out of sight, out of mind." Well, it's true. See,
your life moves toward the dominating images that you keep
before your eyes. There's a principle in the Word of God
that you become what you behold. You become what you behold. So,
my question is, what are you beholding? What are you looking
at? When you try to imagine your life five years from now, what
do you see? God's the one who said in his Word, He said, "All
that your eyes can see can be yours." Isn't it time you fix
your eyes on your future, your dreams, your goals? Just as you
would never get in a car and just start driving having no
idea where you're headed, you should never go through
life without a clear, mapped out destination. In fact,
I love this about Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is what he
said. He said, "I decorated my bedroom wall as a teenager.
Right next to my bed there was a big wall that I decorated with
pictures." He said, "I hung up pictures of strong men,
bodybuilders, wrestlers, and boxers. I was driven to think
big and to dream big." He said, "Everybody thought I was crazy,
but what you do is create a vision of who you want to be and
then live into that picture as if it were already true." Well,
how do you start? Where do you begin? I've shared this on other
podcasts, but I love what I heard about Will Smith. Will
Smith, he acts in movies, but he also produces them and directs
them. Well, a guy was visiting his house one day, and he said
when he walked in, he saw this big glass wall with like 150
little index cards all over the wall. So, he asked him, he said,
"What is that?" Will Smith said, "That's my next movie I'm
working on." He said, "But what are all these cards?" He said,
"Those are my different scenes. I move them around, you know,
conflicts and victories, good characters, bad characters." The
guy said, "This looks so confusing," he said, "How do you
even know where to start?" Will Smith said, "That's the easy
part," he said, "You always start with the final scene. You
decide how you want it to end, and then you work towards it."
Well see, that's what your vision board is. You're starting
with how you want the next five years to be, how you want the
end of this year, December 31st, how do you want it to end? The
Bible says that God's the one who declares the end from the
beginning. So, think about it. How do you want this year to
end? How do you want the next 12 months to wrap up? Imagine it's
December 31st of this year, and you say, "This has been the most
amazing year of my life." Well, what needs to happen for you to
say that? See, whatever it is, write it down. Well, in my book,
I'm going to give you the exact vision board steps that I use
that took me from ghostwriting books for other people to
authoring books, from attending conferences to speaking at
conferences, from watching TV for hours to hosting a TV show.
Now, this is what I take my staff through, high-level
executives, stay at home moms, teenagers, kids, you name it,
it's for you. I'm telling you today, God has more for your
life. Now, like I said earlier, I've never offered this for free
on a podcast, but we wanted to bless you, inspire you, and
invest in your dreams. What you just heard is what I'm going to
teach you for free. But, you have to take the first step. You
have to request this book. Now, it's going to cost you a little
bit of shipping and handling money, but that's it. There's no
trick here. We are sending you this book for free. So many
people say, "Terri, I've made too many mistakes, I've missed
too many opportunities, I've wasted too many years. Well, I
always say this, "Stop looking at the years you've lost. Let's
look at the years you've got left and live your dreams." I
don't believe you're watching this by accident. I believe
God's trying to get your attention that it's time for you
to get serious about your future, your dreams and your
goals. And remember, when the vision is clear, the results
will appear. You owe it to yourself to live your dreams.
Let me show you how. So, get your free copy today. You can

Like I said, all you have to do is help me pay the shipping, and
that's it. And I love what Richard Bock said. He said,
"Here's the test to determine whether or not your mission
on earth is finished." Are you ready? He said, "If
you're alive, it isn't." So remember, I'm cheering you on
to live your dreams. Thank you for watching.
