- Hey, it's Terri, your cheerleader of dreams.
I wanna talk to you today
about something I've discovered every successful person has.
Now, before I reveal this incredible key to success,
ladies, it's ICING week.
It's not only my favorite food,
but it's the name of my women's conference
here in Dallas, Texas.
Let me explain.
Years ago, I was...
Well, the Lord put on my heart to have an event for women
and call it ICING.
And I was just sitting in a conference
when this came to me, and I thought,
"Am I hungry?" (chuckles)
Icing doesn't make sense.
So I looked it up.
Icing actually means something added to something good
to make it even better.
The cake is good,
but the icing makes it so much better, right?
See, I think it's one thing to have a dream,
to have a plan for your life,
but when you discover God's plan for your life,
that's the icing on the cake.
So this weekend,
women are coming from all over the world
to get into an atmosphere of faith,
to discover God's plan,
to learn how to set goals for their lives,
to get unstuck.
And, you know, I've asked my guest Christy Wright
to teach you how to build your confidence,
to go after your dreams and goals.
So does this sound fun?
So if you feel like God has been nudging you
to get serious about your future,
to get ready for some new things in your life,
then you need to register for ICING.
Now you can join me in person or live stream
by going to terry.com/icing.
I'm counting down.
Okay, I'm sure you've heard
of the magic penny from Darren Hardy.
Let me just tell you if you haven't.
He gives the comparison of the magic penny.
If I were to offer you $3 million right now
or a penny that doubles every single day for 31 days,
which would you choose?
Cue the "Jeopardy" music. (soft music)
(laughs) Okay, let's just say you choose the penny
and your friend takes the $3 million.
That penny on day 10 is $5 (laughs) to the 3 million.
On day 20, your friend has 3 million and you have $5,000,
sucker, right?
By day 29, penny lane has 2.9 million
to the 3 million.
It isn't until day 30 that you pull ahead with $5.3 million.
But get this, on day 31, the very last day,
you blow them out of the water,
ending up with 10,737,418.24.
The doubling penny is worth over $10.7 million
to their $3 million.
What is this?
It's just the magic of staying with something
as it compounds over time.
And here's the thing, it's the same with your daily habits,
your commitments, your routine, just like that penny.
I've discovered that successful people
have a personal growth plan
that they're very intentional about,
about their personal growth.
Little by little, day after day,
until it compounds into success.
You know, you've heard me say,
"Your repetition is your reputation."
So let me explain this a little more.
John Maxwell was asked one time.
They said, "What is the greatest predictor of your success?"
Now think about that,
the greatest predictor that you will be successful.
Without hesitating, (finger snaps)
he responded, "that you're intentional
about your personal growth."
Intentional about your personal growth.
Now, the way John Maxwell explains this,
he told a story about how, when he was 25 years old
in Lancaster, Ohio, having breakfast at a Holiday Inn,
a success coach named Curt Kampmeier asked him,
he said, "John, what's your plan for personal growth?"
He said, "I don't even know what that meant."
So he listed some of his goals
and things he was involved in.
He said, "I was scattered all over the place
trying to sound intelligent."
And the man said, "You don't have a plan, do you?" (laughs)
He said, "No.
I honestly don't even know what that is."
Well, for six months,
John went around asking all of his friends,
he said probably about 300 people,
"What's your plan for personal growth?"
Nobody had one, no one had a plan for personal growth.
He said he found this goal setting program,
and he started saving money for it
cuz he thought, "I gotta start somewhere."
For six months, he saved money
to get this program for $799,
a whole month's salary back then.
But he said, "I got into the discipline of every single day
listening to messages and taking notes."
Listening to messages, taking notes.
He said, "I was getting into a growth plan mode."
Well today, at 73 years old,
every single day he does something to grow himself.
He said, aside from his relationship with Jesus,
he said his decision to be intentional
about his growth was the best thing he's ever done.
Today, John Maxwell has sold over 30 million books
and he says that's the greatest predictor of success.
Think about that.
The Bible says, "My people are destroyed
for a lack of knowledge."
Well, see, that's what was happening to me in 2002.
My marriage was being destroyed.
My finances were destroyed.
My house was destroyed.
My body was unhealthy,
but I had not read a book in 11 years.
I had absolutely no plan for personal growth.
I thought I've paid my dues.
I went to college.
I have no desire to ever read another book again
or take another class.
I thought I'm done and my life showed it.
But then when my life hit rock bottom, for me,
I was on the verge of a divorce,
had no money and savings, living paycheck to paycheck,
no vision for my life.
I decided to start my own little version
of a personal growth plan.
And as I began listening to messages like this consistently,
I began to learn that successful people
have something in common.
One thing I learned was they have vision.
They have dreams, goals, vision for their life.
Not only that, they write them down.
They literally grab a pen and paper
and they write down what they want.
I had never asked myself, "What do you want?"
Like what does Terri Savelle Foy truly want out of life?
What do you want?
Have you ever thought about it?
You know, most people can clearly tell you
what they don't want,
but what do you want?
Well, for me at the time,
I decided, I wanna pay off my credit cards.
I wanna be in shape and healthy.
I want restoration in my marriage.
I want money in my savings account.
I want a clean, peaceful house.
So I wrote that down.
And it was actually exciting to have something
to aim towards,
but I also kept my promise
to not let one single day go by
that I would not listen to a message
that could build my faith.
I would drop my daughter off at school
and instantly get in the car and push play,
and listen to something that motivated me.
See, I had no idea
that because I became intentional about growing,
everything in my life would begin to grow.
Paying off my credit card led to paying off my car.
Reading 12 books led to writing 12 books.
Taking courses led to creating courses.
As I grew, every single area of my life grew with it.
So what does God have for you to discover?
See, once you begin a plan for personal growth,
I'm telling you,
everything around you is gonna begin to change.
And that's why I ask you to subscribe to this channel
because that's just one simple, easy step
in creating a plan to grow.
So would you do that right now?
Just push the subscribe button
and you've already started with one action step.
And I wanna say thank you for doing that
because I never take that for granted,
but I want you to think about this.
John Maxwell says, "Growth is the only guarantee
that tomorrow is gonna get better."
Well, I love this scripture that says,
"Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow,
the Lord will do wonders among you."
That's Joshua 3:5.
In other words, prepare yourself today,
so tomorrow, God can do wonders among you.
Well, the only guarantee that tomorrow's gonna get better
is if you get passionate about your personal growth today.
And the easiest way you can invest in your personal growth
is listen to messages.
In fact, I read where 63% of the wealthiest people
in the world listen to audios during their commute to work.
What if you heard one message
that could give you a million dollar idea?
I heard a story about a dentist. (laughs)
I love this toothbrush.
But he began doing this,
he would listen to medical seminars in his car
on his way to the office and on his way home.
Well, after having his practice for years,
he began learning so much
that he even spent the money to attend a conference
out of the country.
Now that's investing in your personal growth, right?
In fact, we've had women fly from other countries
to the ICING Women's event.
Well, they had specialists at these conferences
giving private lectures.
All of a sudden this dentist,
he began to learn a certain technique of cosmetic surgery
that no one else knew,
where you could actually straighten out a person's front jaw
and make them look more beautiful.
Well, he came back to California
and began implementing this procedure in his practice.
People flew thousands of miles
to come to him to get this procedure.
Well, he was able to charge whatever he wanted to charge.
Eight years later, he was able to sell his practice
for millions of dollars and retire at the age of 53.
All because he got intentional about personal growth.
See, when you invest in yourself,
a whole new world of opportunities will open up for you.
So if I could help you with one thing today
that I know will impact your life forever,
it's be intentional about your personal growth.
So I wanna help you this week to get started.
Most people say, "Great Terri, but where do I start?"
Well, that's why I'm bringing back this week,
my online Vision Board Course
that normally sells for $97 for only $8.
I want you to invest in you ,
listen and watch the six short videos one by one,
knowing that you're not wasting your time.
You're investing in yourself.
You're doing exactly what John Maxwell says,
"Will be the greatest predictor of success."
Now, I know John Maxwell invested in an $800 course,
but I felt like the Lord told me to offer this for $8
when it's normally almost 100 dollars,
but do it for $8 for two reasons.
Number one, most people can afford an $8 investment.
$97 is a lot, but most everyone
can go without one cup of coffee and half of a muffin
to invest in your future.
And the second reason is because the number eight
means new beginnings.
See God wants to do a new thing in your life,
but it demands some new habits.
Invest in yourself,
start getting clear on what you want,
your dreams, your desires, your goals.
Start today with a Vision Board Course.
Again, you're gonna get six training videos with me,
plus you're gonna get my complete ebook
"Dream It, Pin It, Live It,"
along with the e-workbook.
All of this for only $8.
So just click the link in the description,
and you can get started today, like right now.
Just set aside 20 minutes a day
to just watch one of the videos
where I'm gonna walk you through,
getting a vision for your life,
setting goals that excite you
and keep your faith strong in the process.
Let me remind you,
the key to success is K-E-Y, keep educating yourself.
So just click the link in the description
and start your own plan, seriously, today.
So God is setting you up for success.
God is calling you to come up higher, invest in yourself,
because his plan for your life requires preparation.
Bottom line,
as you begin to grow,
everything around you is gonna grow with it,
and I'll be cheering you on to live your dreams.
