- I'm Terri Savelle Foy, your Cheerleader of Dreams.
And I'll admit the decluttering and organizing
can be very daunting.
In fact, here's a shot of my guestroom closet
that became a junk closet for storage.
It was filled with random stuff, but lots of gift bags.
You know, the ones you recycle
and regift for the past seven years at Christmas
and you can see the other names crossed off.
Well, I did the step-by-step system
that I'm gonna teach you today.
And what once seemed overwhelming
became overwhelmingly therapeutic and motivating, I promise.
So here's my before and after pictures.
And that entire project only took less than two hours.
So I'm gonna show you how to not be overwhelmed anymore,
but actually have vision to get your surroundings
organized and decluttered in a fun, motivating way.

Now it's amazing how decluttering and organizing
does more for you than you can even imagine.
It's so much more than just getting your house tidy.
Here's the thing.
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.
Did you hear that?
Brian Tracy actually said, "The car you drive
and the condition that you keep it in
will correspond to your state of mind at any given time."
He said, "When you're feeling positive and confident
and in control of your life, your home,
your car, and your workplace
will tend to be well-organized and efficient."
He said, "When you feel overwhelmed with work
or frustrated and unhappy, your car, your home,
your workplace, even your closets,"
he said, "will tend to reflect
this state of disarray and confusion."
He said everything is from the inner to the outer.
Isn't this wild?
So you just feel better about yourself
when things are in order, don't you?
And here's the thing.
You may not have control over every situation in your life,
but you do have control over the condition of your home
and your space.
And when you organize your home to your personal standard,
you feel more competent, in control, and just empowered.
It's even proven that getting your house in shape
will improve your self-esteem and your self-image.
Isn't that amazing?
In fact, listen to this letter
I got from Ramona.
Ramona wrote, and she said,
"I married last July and moved into my husband's home
that was very full, very cluttered, and disorganized."
She said, "I was grateful for my new life in the country,
but just so overwhelmed with how to get on top of things
that needed so much attention."
She said ,"Your decluttering book helped me so much
to take things in bite-sized chunks."
And now she said,
"I am shocked at how much has been accomplished.
We have no more junk drawers."
She said, "Even the scariest storage room in the basement
has been attacked."
She said, "I'm on very familiar terms
with the local thrift store,
and I have made a lot of money."
She said, "I'm shocked at how much money I've made."
But she said, "I just feel so much more comfortable
to have people come visit now."
She says, "Thank you so much."
Well, "US News & World Report" shared an alarming statistic
that the average American spends one year of their lives
just looking for lost or misplaced items.
One year is wasted because we're cluttered and disorganized.
What could you do with an extra 365 days added to your life?
Think about that.
So you have to consider what is clutter costing you?
I mean, think of the progress you can make
writing your own book, launching your ministry,
starting your business, losing the weight,
getting a degree.
Or maybe it's learning a second language,
traveling the world.
But instead you are searching for (laughs),
there goes my cupcake.
Yes, I had a cupcake up here.
But you're searching for the remote control for one year.
Think about that.
Now, why did I choose a remote control?
Because that's one of the biggest things people lose.
but you're gonna save so much time
when you get organized.
Now, listen to this.
According to "Real Simple" magazine,
the average woman spends 55.2 minutes a day
looking for lost or misplaced items.
That is nearly one hour,
I thought I had a clock.
That's one hour a day wasted.
So think about that.
That's almost two weeks a year gone forever
because we don't know where we put stuff.
And are you ready for this?
69% of Americans have less than $1,000
in their savings account.
69%.
So if an emergency comes up, the car breaks down,
the kids need a dentist appointment,
the air conditioning is out like at my house last week,
69% don't have the money to cover that, so they charge it.
But according to eBay, you do have the money.
eBay discovered that the average household
has more than 50 unused items worth around $3100
just laying around.
What could you do with an extra $3,000?
In the acting world, they say what's my motivation?
Here's the incentive.
Get cash for your trash.
Does that make you wanna declutter?
Because clutter is expensive.
You're also gonna have more confidence.
In fact, UCLA did research
and found that clutter has a strong effect
on moods and overall self-esteem.
Women especially feel embarrassed, ashamed,
and guilty with the presence of clutter.
I mean, have you ever apologized
when someone shows up at your house unannounced?
I know I have.
A survey asked nearly 1400 people,
they said, how long would it take you
to get your house ready for dinner guests?
65% said four hours or less.
10% said eight hours.
7% said 24 hours.
6% said 40 hours or more.
And get this,
11% said they would never invite anyone inside. Ever.
Well, I've discovered that getting things in order
has so much more to do with where God wants to take you
than it does with being a neat freak.
In my experience,
getting my home in order was the first step
in turning my entire life around.
And it led me to major promotions in my career.
When I was a little girl,
my dad pastored a church in Fort Worth, Texas.
And there was a family who came to our church
who had this dream of owning a brand new Cadillac.
And the family was clear on their vision.
They constantly told my dad,
we declare that we have a brand new Cadillac,
debt-free in Jesus' name.
Well, one day my dad just said to them out of nowhere,
he said, "Let me see car you're currently driving."
So they walked him out to the parking lot,
And with one glance anybody could tell you
why they were not driving a brand new Cadillac
debt free in Jesus' name.
No matter how clear the vision was
or how consistent they were with the declaration,
speaking it by faith,
their car was absolutely filthy.
I mean, it looked like something from a junkyard,
no exaggeration.
And my dad was honest with them.
He said, "God is not gonna bless you with a better car
when you don't even take care of the car you've got."
And he wasn't mean.
He just teaching them a principle from the word of God.
He said, "Act as if this car were the Cadillac
you're believing in God for."
He said, "Show God that you can be trusted
with a nicer car."
He went on to say, "If you don't take care of this car,
give it a few months
and your Cadillac is gonna look just like this."
And I hate to tell you this,
but I never saw them get the new Cadillac,
but I also never saw them clean up the car.
See, God is the one who said
if you're faithful with the little things,
you'll be ruler over many things.
See, God won't bless us with more
when we're not faithful with the little.
So if you're believing in God for a new car, a new job,
a new house, a new ministry, or a new career,
one of the greatest strategies for success
is to act as if you already have what you wanna have.
In other words,
practice excellence on the way to where you wanna go.
Now, I cover all of this in the book
that's your free download this week.
But I think it's amazing
how cleaning up and organizing your surroundings
does so much more for your overall life.
In fact, organizing experts say
that some of their clients lose weight,
they get out of bad relationships,
they leave unhealthy jobs,
and they even stop bad habits
once they declutter their lives.
So clearing up your space clears up your mind as well.
And you seriously won't believe the transformation,
not only in your home, but in you.
So when you declutter and organize,
you're gonna have more time and energy
to go after your dreams and goals.
See, when you're not always feeling that pressure
of, ah, I've gotta get the room cleaned up,
then now you can focus your time and energy
on the bigger goals of life, your dreams,
because your mind is free to plan other things.
And there's so much more I can share.
That's why I want you to have the complete guide
to declutter and organize in my free ebook this week,
