(cheerful music)
- I want you to climb up higher this year and become 7%.
I want you to look back a year from now
and enthusiastically say, I'm in the 7%, we did it!
Now, what in the world is 7%?
Well, according to statistics,
93% of those who set New Year's goals go unfulfilled, 93%!
In fact, 30% are broken the first week.
Among people who joined a gym,
80% drop out within eight weeks.
Now, I sure hope they didn't purchase a one-year membership.
(laughing)
So, I'm gonna show you how I went from being
in the 93% of never achieving my goals
to being a Christian success coach
who helps others now get in the 7% with me.
By the way, I'm Terri Savelle Foy,
your cheerleader of dreams.
And before I share this simple seven-step process
that literally changed my life,
I can't wait to walk you through this.
And by the way, I'm not trying to sound dramatic.
Setting goals the right way changed my whole life.
But first, real quick, would you help me out?

Okay, setting goals for your life means
deciding what you want, planning how to get it,
and then goin' after it.
And I'm thrilled to say that I have learned
how to make it into that 7% category of those
who stick with their New Year's goals
until they are achieved.
Now, I want you to get serious about achieving
your life goals, not just for the year.
So say, God wants you to have goals
and intermediate objectives
that you strive towards each year.
You know, it's one thing to have a big dream,
but it's vital that you have smaller dreams or goals
that you can focus on now.
You know,
Philippians 3:13 and 14 says, this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching for those things which are ahead.
It says, I press toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling in Christ Jesus.
Well, that mark refers to goals.
You know, somebody once said that where there are no goals,
neither will there be significant accomplishment,
there's only gonna be existence.
Well, years ago, I think I would just give myself
the satisfaction of writing something down, getting my pen.
And just writing something down on January 1st
with no actual plan to achieve my lengthy, unrealistic
list of resolutions.
Well, not anymore.
Each December 31st, I can hardly wait to pull out
my pink highlighter and put a real photo of me
walking in that dream.
And I know it is so easy to get overwhelmed with all that
you feel you need to set goals in.
It could be weight loss, save money, get out of debt,
get closer to God, spend more time with the family,
read more books, get the house organized.
And many times, we set so many goals.
And we don't know which one to focus on,
so we just don't do any of it.
Well, how do you go after all these random
but important goals?
With a plan.
You fight fear with a plan.
I want you to become a planner.
In every area of life, you need a plan.
See, you're not gonna save money without a plan.
You're not gonna get in shape without a plan.
You won't even get closer to God without a plan.
And I can help you follow a plan.
I call it succeeding on purpose.
In fact, I wrote a whole book about it,
and I turned it into an online course
teaching everything from a to Z.
And now, I get testimonies from people across the globe
who are taking our vision board course,
and they're truly achieving impossible dreams.
In fact, before we even go on,
you may have heard that I'm practically givin' away
my $97
online vision board course for only $8.
That's it.
We've been doing it all month long.
And I want to help as many people as possible.
You know, we had people sign up last year
from 45 nations for this course.
So, I'm doing it again this month.
So, with this $8 vision board course,
you're gonna get access to my six training videos,
you're gonna get this very book in the ebook format,
"Dream It, Pin It, Live It,"
how to make a vision board, plus the e-workbook.
All of this for only $8.
So, just click the link in the description,
so you have the tools you need to not only make your board,
but have a plan this year
to succeed on purpose.
Got it?
Okay.
I want you to determine that this is the year
your life makes tremendous progress.
Why?
So that next year at this time,
you are not where you are today.
You know, here's what I've discovered.
Setting goals, it's a lot like playing darts.
I mean, listen to these interesting facts about darts.
All you need to play is a set of three darts, a dart board,
a wall to hang it on.
You can play alone or with others.
With practice and skill, you can improve.
Age doesn't matter whether you're a 10 or 80,
you can play.
Gender doesn't matter, male or female can play.
It's fairly inexpensive to purchase and play.
You can play at all sorts of levels as a beginner at home
or with a group in a public setting.
And it's a huge morale booster.
It doesn't take long for people to bond and become a team
when they play a game of darts, right?
You might be going, why are you telling me all these
useless facts about a game you may or may not
even care about?
Because having a target for your life and your business
is vital to your success.
And here's what I've discovered.
Setting goals for your personal life requires
that you identify your target before you try to hit it.
Seems pretty simple, yet you may,
many of you may not even have a target to hit yet.
So, just like in the game of darts,
your ability to set goals, it's no different.
Think about this.
All you need to do to set goals is you need a list of goals,
a vision board, and a wall to hang it on.
You can play alone or with others.
With practice and skill, you can improve.
Your age doesn't matter, whether you're 10 or 80,
you can make a vision board.
It's fairly inexpensive to purchase.
You can play at all sorts of levels as a beginner at home,
or with a group in a public setting. (laughs)
It's a huge morale booster.
It doesn't take long for people to bond and become a team
when you make a vision board together.
So, here's what I'm saying.
It's a proven fact.
If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time.
In fact, Napoleon Hill did this study
on the major cause of failure.
Here's what he said.
Lack of a well-defined purpose in life.
Think about that.
Well, I'm gonna help you discover your purpose
with the online vision board course.
In fact, Napoleon Hill said 98 of the 100 people
he analyzed had no aim.
They had no vision.
He said there's no hope of success for the person
who does not have a definite goal at which to aim.
So, I'm gonna go through this really fast.
(dart board shuffles)
But these are my seven goal-setting secrets
to help you get started, you ready?
Okay number one, these goals must be in writing.
Your chance of success increases by 98%
simply by putting your dreams and goals in writing.
And God is the one who came up with this success clue
in Habakkuk 2:2.
He said, write the vision, make it plain upon tablets,
so that anyone who passes it may be able to read it.
Number two, goals must be measurable.
So, saying I will lose 15 pounds,
that's not as motivating as saying I will weigh 120 pounds
by March 31st.
So, always answer the questions how much and by when
when you set your goals.
Number three, goals must be specific.
Don't just say, I will have a new car!
No, include the make, the model, the year, the color,
the price you want to pay.
Remember, vague goals produce vague results, right?
Number four, goals must be realistic.
You know, one year I had my staff to imagine
it was five years into the future.
And to write what they had achieved by that year.
Well, one person said I have saved $500,000.
Now, that is a great goal.
And I'm not discouraging using your faith
for the impossible.
However, when we set our goals too high,
then we set ourselves up to fail, and we get discouraged
when we don't even come close to the goal.
So, I've met with those staff members one year later,
and I said, okay, in order to reach that goal
of over $500,000 over the next five years,
that means that you have been saving $8,333.33
every month.
Well, this look of shock just came over their face,
revealing the obvious. (laughing)
But my point is, just be more realistic
about your yearly goals.
Okay, number five is goals must stretch you.
Now, I'm not contradicting myself with step number four.
I'm just saying that you should challenge yourself
to set at least one goal that you would consider
your highest expectation,
and set your mountain-moving faith for it.
You know, that could be like writing your book or singing
before an audience, releasing your album, losing 50 pounds,
developing your own website, publishing an article,
finishing your degree, getting your pilot's license,
paying off a lingering debt.
See, in order to be effective, we have to be stretched.
So, stretch yourself in the area you feel
is vitally important for you this year.
Okay, number six, goals must have a deadline.
Now, deadlines are motivating.
I mean, think about it.
Isn't it amazing how much work you get done
the day before vacation?
Why? 'Cause there's a deadline!
Or, think about how crazy fast you can clean
your entire house when you find out someone
is on their way over.
Why? There's a deadline!
You may have had to, the whole week you could
have been cleaning, but as soon as you were told
I'll be there in an hour, you get motivated. (laughing)
Number seven, is goals must be in sight.
I say this all the time, but out of sight, out of mind.
So, keep your goals before you all year long.
Put them on your iPad and refer to them daily.
Put them on your phone, I know you never leave without that.
Hang them on your vision board,
place them in your dream book, put them on the refrigerator,
or inside the cabinet door in your bathroom.
Just go the extra mile to keep them ever present
before your eyes.
So, there's a powerful principle in the Word of God.
Says, whatever a man thinks in his heart,
so does he become.
What you think about, you bring about.
So, think more about where you're headed
than where you are today.
Now, I hope this helps you today,
I can't wait to see you
enrolled in the online (cheerful music)
