(upbeat music)
- You ever watched a movie and said,
"Why did it have the end like that?"
Like that movie "Message In A Bottle".
I saw that on Valentine's day with my husband
and we were so depressed when it ended,
I said I'm gonna write my own ending
this one stinks.
(laughs)
Well, have you ever heard that phrase,
"When you write the story of your life
don't let anyone else hold the pen."
By the way, I'm Terri Savelle Foy
your cheerleader of dreams.
I wanna help you write your story for 2021
and plan your best year ever.
You know some people ask,
"Why set goals?"
Well, it's the first step towards success.
You know goals are simply dreams with deadlines.
And people without goals are just drifting through life
with no direction,
and that used to be me.
Well, what I'm gonna share with you today
will cause you to come to the end of this year,
excited, grateful, proud, and feeling accomplished.
Oh, and stay until the end
because I'm gonna share a bonus tip
that I started doing last year,
and it helped me and my team
to not get discouraged
but stay focused all year long.
You're gonna love it.
Known fact.
Before I get into this real quick
would you do me a favor?
Would you please subscribe to our channel?
And it only takes one second
to push that little arrow below,
but what it does is it speaks volumes to YouTube.
It lets them know that people
really do wanna hear christian motivation.
You know everything I teach comes from God's success book.
And I want YouTube to know
that there is a demand for it.
So if you would do that for me
subscribe by pushing the arrow.
I would appreciate that so much.
And I wanna give back to you for doing that for me.
You know this is something new
that I had never done before until this year.
And this was an idea
that came about in prayer.
I was just praying one morning
and you know just thinking about my message.
How it's to teach people to dream
and how to achieve their life goals.
And I was just thinking
how can I reach more people than ever before with vision?
I mean, 2020 messed up a lot of people's visions and goals,
but I believe in 2021, God is gonna accelerate things
for those who have a clear vision.
So in prayer, I thought,
well the best way I've learned
how to really teach you to discover your vision
and achieve your dreams is through my courses.
But many people can't afford the courses
that are anywhere from $97 to 397.
So I thought what's the number that everyone could afford.
And the number eight just came to me.
And I thought the number eight
means new beginning.
So that's it.
So I told my team the next day,
I said, "I want our online vision board course,
that people buy every day for $97."
I said I want us to give it away for $8
to anyone and everyone
who is ready for 2021 to be your year
of achieving your dreams.
And my team wasn't the least bit shocked,
they responded with, "I love it.
Let's do it!"
So, if you feel God is speaking to you
that it's time for your new beginning
then don't miss this limited time offer
where I'm practically giving away
my best teaching on how to make your vision board,
how to set goals for this year from A to Z for only $8.
Oh, and you're gonna get with this,
six video teachings,
my ebook "Dream It. Pin It. Live It"
along with the a workbook for only eight bucks.
So how does that sound?
Now for me this is about obeying God
and that's why I'm doing it.
So all you need to do to get this today
and get started on your vision board
is click the link in the description
and you are on your way to the best year ever.
So just click that link and get your course for eight bucks.
Okay, are you ready?
Now, always start out the year
by asking myself this question
at the start of every new year;
how would you like your life to be,
to end on December 31st, 2021?
Like what would make you feel the most proud,
excited, confident, pleased that you achieved it.
Let me ask you this.
Do you ever give yourself any quiet time to just think?
Henry Ford said, "Thinking is the hardest work there is,
which is probably the reason why so few engage in it".
So sit quietly and answer number one.
Number one, set your top 10 goals for this year.
Now why set seven to 10 goals for the year?
Seven to 10.
Research supports stay in between seven and 10.
And one of the top ways that people lose focus
is by having too many goals to focus on.
You've heard that phrase,
"Man who chases two rabbits catches neither", right?
Or "If you aim it too many targets, you miss all of them".
So stay between seven to 10 goals for this year.
Point number two, write them down,
in the present tense.
You know, they say that
only 3% of adults have written goals.
Well, did you know that the very act
of writing them down gives you a 42% greater probability
of achieving your goals?
Just writing them down.
Now, write them in the present tense
as if your goal has already been achieved.
Like say, "I easily saved $10,000".
See your subconscious mind only understands
that present tense.
Number three, be very specific.
You may say, "I'd really like to read more books this year".
We'll see your brain,
your subconscious mind doesn't know how to define more.
So you have to get specific.
You have to say things like,
"I'm enjoying reading 12 new books by December 31st".
Now you can track it each month to see
if you're on target, right?
And remember vague goals produce vague results,
so set a number to your goals.
Number four, establish deadlines.
You know, deadlines are motivating.
They create this sense of urgency.
They say the best way to get your house
cleaned up, invite company. (laughs)
Why? 'Cause there's a deadline.
So always assign deadline to each of your goals.
And don't make every deadline December 31st
because that just promotes procrastination
to the very end of the year.
Number five, stretch yourself out of your comfort zone.
See if all of your goals are in the comfort zone.
It doesn't motivate you.
If it doesn't require you to think creatively
to pray a little harder, to put a demand on your faith
then it's not gonna motivate you.
So ask yourself this question.
What's the coolest thing that could happen this year.
See, it's exciting to set a goal so big
that you can't achieve it
until you grow into the person who can.
Lisa Nichols says,
"If your goals don't make your knees knock
and your teeth chatter, you're not dreaming big enough".
And yes, you're gonna feel a little doubt,
fear, awkward, anxious
but it just means that you're being stretched.
It means you're going to grow.
You're gonna have to grow to achieve these goals, right?
In fact my discomfort is don't go last year
was to pay off our land.
And it looked utterly impossible do that
considering our land costs more than our last house.
But you know what?
It stretched me.
It caused me to pray harder,
it caused me to give more, to be creative and to trust God.
And you know what?
By September 2nd, we paid off our land.
That impossible looking goal was achieved.
So what do you need to set for yourself
that really stretches you?
Is it a way the last goal,
is it paying off a big chunk of debt
that you've carried over year after year
but now you're fed up with it.
Is it a savings goal?
Maybe you look at your age and you think,
come on, get with it, right?
Set at least one big goal that stretches you
and it causes you to pray harder.
Let me just tell you, God responds to great faith.
Number six, make your goals visible
and declare them all year long.
This was discovered as one of the biggest reasons
that goals aren't achieved,
is because we stick them in a drawer,
we put them on the computer
but we never go back to look at them.
We leave them in a file cabinet
or a three ring binder that we never refer to.
And I used to do that.
Well now we have a giant vision board
in the hallway with all of our goals
for the entire team to see consistently.
We get them out at our team meetings
and we read them out loud, one by one.
But this way,
you're not surprised when December rolls around
and you suddenly discover you didn't reach your goals.
Now you've been reciting them,
you've been tracking them all year long
which brings me to my final point.
Number seven, track your progress.
It's vitally important that you see where you are
month to month in terms of your annual goals.
And this allows you to make some course corrections
or change behaviors,
research new ideas to boost your progress
and eliminate things that aren't working.
And let me give you a bonus tip
that I just started doing last year;
set three milestone goals for your priorities.
Remember, a goal must be broken down into thin slices.
You've heard that phrase, "How do you eat an elephant?"
Well, personally I don't
but (laughs) the answer is one bite at a time, right?
Well, many times we set these big lofty goals
and then immediately we're just stressed out.
Well your goal is supposed to stretch you
not stress you, right?
So that just means you need to break it down
into more bite size pieces.
Always set milestone goals
on the way to your big goals and celebrate them.
So this lets you know, you're on the right path,
you're going in the right direction.
Let me just give you an example real quick.
When someone gives me directions, even though I use a GPS
I like to know, they'll say things like
"Terri you're gonna see NorthPark Mall on your right
and then you should pass a Sprinkles Cupcakes"
which I know may don't pass it.
I got to stop, but that's not my point.
"And then you'll see like a big car dealership on the left".
You know, when you hear those things
those are little milestones that let you know
you're headed the right way.
We'll see it the same with your goals.
Let's say you set a goal to see 1000 subscribers
to your YouTube channel.
Well, that number can look so overwhelming
especially if you have 135 subscribers.
So what you would do is set three major milestones
on the way to that big goal.
So I would suggest 300
'cause if you reach 300 subscribers,
that means you more than doubled,
celebrate and make a big deal about it.
Then aim for 500.
Celebrate that major win then keeps driving for 750.
So what happens is you focus more on the milestones
which don't stress you out
but it keeps you motivated to go for the big goal.
Does that make sense?
So I hope it's helped you today.
I dive into this so much more in detail
in the vision board course,
which I'm offering for a limited time to our subscribers
for only $8.
Now this course sells every day for $97
but I want you to get clarity like never before
and come to the end of this year saying,
"wow what should have taken me five years?
God did it in one year."
Why? Because you have vision, right?
