(upbeat music)
- I heard a story about a lady years ago at a market one day
and she ran into the famous artist Picasso,
and she said, Picasso, can you draw me a portrait?
He said, sure, I'll draw you a portrait.
He reached for a pen and paper and within 30 seconds
he sketched an identical portrait of this lady.
He handed it back to her and he said, that'll be $30,000.
She said, what?
How can you charge me $30,000
when it took you 30 seconds to do this?
You know what he said?
It took me 30 years to be able to do this in 30 seconds.
Here's my point.
People are rewarded in public
for what they practice in private.
By the way, I'm Terri Savelle Foy,
your cheerleader of dreams,
and today I wanna reveal three simple habits
you absolutely need to practice in private,
if you're serious about improving your life in the new year.
So let's get right into it.
Habit number one is keep a planner.
Now, I believe a major key to success is planning.
And I'm not only a strong advocate
of planning your dreams and your goals
over the next five years, but also planning the next hour.
Now, here's what I've learned that's enabled me to, gosh,
write 13 books and 13 years, grow this YouTube channel,
host my icing women's events across the USA,
and next year we're having one in London, England
in May of 2023.
But here's how I've been able to do that.
Number one, use one planner.
You know, focus is the number one key ingredient
to achieving your dreams and goals.
Well, in order to get focused, you need to get organized.
Now, I learned years ago to record every single thing
in one consistent planner.
You know, organizing expert Julie Morgan Stern, she said,
you have one life, you need one planner.
In other words, don't use one planner for work,
one for personal, one for your kids' agendas,
one for your gym workouts, or meal planning.
I used to do that and it's exhausting
just trying to find all the planners, right?
Number two is write everything down.
Don't rely on memory alone.
Get everything out of your head and onto paper.
Now I'm telling you, this alone will alleviate stress.
If you just make a list of all the things you have to do,
no matter how big or small,
you're gonna feel so much more accomplished
when you check those items off your list
and you move on to the next task.
Plus, our flesh loves a good check mark, don't we?
Here's what I found out.
81% of the wealthiest people in the world have a to-do list
and only 19% of the poor do this.
Well, Habakkuk 2:2 says,
write the vision, make it plain.
This includes your vision
for the day, the week, the month, right?
And it's amazing how much time we can waste
when we don't have a written plan for the day.
Also, it's amazing how much money we waste
when we go into a grocery store
without a written list, right?
Rather than just go down the list and get what we need,
we usually grab whatever grabs us,
we end up wasting money and time.
It's the same with life.
Okay, number three, practice the Sunday night strategy.
Honestly, you can do this any day of the week in any hour,
but I always plan my entire week out on Sunday night
and it just sets you up to succeed
by having your whole week thought out and organized.
You no longer wake up wondering what the day will bring.
No, you bring it, right?
You get up Monday morning with a vision, a plan,
ready to succeed on purpose.
You know, I like to think of it like,
kind of like a car stuck in the mud.
Think of yourself like this.
You need just enough traction to move an inch
and then you can move out, right?
You can move on with your life.
Well, that's what happens when you grab a journal and a pen
and you start thinking on paper, writing your plans,
scheduling your priorities just like that car.
You're gonna get traction in your life
and you're gonna get out of a rut
and start moving on with discipline like never before.
Does that make sense?
Okay, habit number two is to embrace the morning hours.
You know, the most successful people in the world
get up early.
Now I'm not saying we all have to get up
at five o'clock like I do,
but early enough to invest in yourself.
And this habit right here will thrust your life years ahead.
Trust me on this.
In fact, I read where 44% of the wealthiest people
in the world get up three or more hours
before they go to work, and there's a reason they do.
You know, I heard Dwayne the Rock Johnson say,
that no matter what time he has to be somewhere
he backs up his alarm four hours
from when he needs to arrive to get up
and that way he can invest in himself
before investing in everyone else.
And they said, well Dwayne,
what if your call time is seven o'clock in the morning?
You get up at three in the morning?
He said, yep.
Well, they cherish the morning hours
to get up and invest in themselves.
And you might say to do what?
To read, to pray, to journal, to make declarations,
to listen for God, to be alone.
They start the day productive.
See, your energy is at its highest at the start of the day
and you just feel so good the rest of the day
when you start out productive.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said,
people always say I need 8 to 10 hours of sleep.
He said, sleep faster.
I sound just like him. I know.
Okay, and before I share the third habit,
I wanna mention my special offer this week,
because we've never had
this many people respond to an offer.
So I'm doing it again this week.
Now, I would say it's the greatest tool I have
to help you get serious
about making 2023 the greatest year you've ever had.
It's my online vision board course,
which you've probably heard about by now.
Normally sells for $97, for only eight bucks.
That's it. $8.
You're gonna get everything that everybody else got for $97.
For only $8.
Now we have had over 20,000 people
and I think they told me 178 nations take this course.
That just amazes me.
And we get testimonies every single day
of people checking off their goals.
Well, I want you to be next.
So all you have to do to get started is click the link
in the description of this video
and you'll get the entire course
which has my e-book and my e-workbook.
Dream it, pen it, live it.
Plus the six videos for only $8.
Now, I cannot wait to hear your story
and all the dreams you're gonna achieve in the new year.
Okay, you ready for the third habit?
It's yearn to learn.
I'll explain, the third habit,
do you know what you are most likely to find
by a wealthy person's nightstand?
Books, lots of them.
You know, 88% of the wealthiest people in the world
read for 30 minutes or more every single day.
Now, in addition to reading,
they also listen to motivational messages.
Well, I wanna challenge you to subscribe
to podcasts like this one and push play every day.
Go to Automobile University.
That means you listen to audios during your commute.
I read where 63% of the wealthiest people they push play
and only 5% of the poor do this.
We can do this, can't we?
And hey, if you haven't subscribed to our channel,
would you do that real quick?
Now all you have to do is push the play button
and become a subscriber.
And that way you will already be starting habit number three
of consistently building yourself up
to go after your dreams.
And I wanna say thank you so much for doing that.
Now, I'm sure you've heard this phrase,
if you're the smartest one in your group,
you need a new group.
If everyone around you thinks you're the coolest,
the wisest, the wealthiest, the most successful,
you're in the wrong company,
'cuz you aren't growing if you're always teaching.
You have to get around people who make you feel challenged
and awkward and uncomfortable
and a little uneasy and inadequate.
Those are signs you're being stretched, you're growing.
Get around people who make more money than you,
who have a nicer, bigger, more organized home than you.
Hang out with people who keep their cars more clean
than you do, and their body's more fit.
Go to lunch with people who eat healthier than you
and budget their finances wiser than you.
Why? Because you're growing.
Learn from those who are doing more than you.
It just stretches you to the next level.
Following people who are proving success
causes you to rise higher.
I always say, don't let it intimidate you.
Let it inspire you.
Now, what if you can't get around people of excellence
who cause you to come up higher?
Read their books,
listen to their podcast, take their courses.
So what I've shared with you is the key to success.
K, keep a planner.
E, embrace the morning hours.
Y, yearn to learn.
Or you could even say K E Y
is keep educating yourself, right?
So I want you to know God is setting you up for success.
Don't feel sorry for yourself.
Don't compare yourself
to what others are doing or not doing.
God is calling you to come up higher
because his plan for your life,
it requires this preparation.
So I wanna encourage you,
get serious about preparing yourself in private.
I heard a minister say,
God can't use you publicly until you get victory privately.
So get victory over your schedule.
Get victory over sleeping in.
Get victory over watching too much TV.
Instead, turn the TV off and go invest in yourself.
And I'm telling you,
God is gonna take your life to a whole new level.
So be sure to get your vision board course
for only $8 by clicking the link in the description
and I will be cheering you on to live your dreams.
