- Last year, I put a photo of a house on a lake,
because me and my husband
have wanted to have a house on a lake for years
to build our dream home.
Here we are, standing on the eight acres
of lakefront property showing my parents
the land we just bought!
(upbeat music)
I'm Terri Savelle Foy, your cheerleader of dreams,
And it's no secret I am passionate
about making vision boards.
Every year, I set my top 10 goals for the year
and is it a coincidence they keep happening?
For example, I set a goal to see all 50 states
by the time I'm 50 years old.
Well, we reached 49 states last month,
checking off four states in four days with only Alaska left.
And we're going on an Alaskan cruise!
I wanted to motivate and minister
to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Well, here's their photo on my vision board,
and here I am at their Fall Retreat last month
teaching the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders
and doing some high kicks with them!
(chuckles) Maybe mine weren't so high.
Then I wanted do something special for my 50th birthday.
I just put it on my vision board just of something special.
My team threw me an unforgettable party
at the iconic Dallas Reunion Tower
with friends flying in from all over the USA.
It was so over the top, I'm still completely overwhelmed!
I always put financial goals, I put fitness goals,
business goals, relationship goals
and every year, I check them off.
Well, I want to show you how to make a vision board
to achieve your goals in 2020.
So, what are your dreams and goals for the next 12 months?
I'm gonna show you how to get crystal clear on your goals
and make 2020 your most remarkable year yet!
In fact, I'm giving away my book
all about making vision boards, so stay tuned till the end
and I'll show you how to access this free book.
Now, here's the thing about having goals framed
on a vision board:
clarity about your dreams is the single
most important key to success!
You know, years ago, when I would write my New Year's goals,
this is the kind of stuff that I would write:
I would say, "read more, lose weight, save money,
"get closer to God, get organized."
They were so vague and unclear, not to mention
this ridiculous list was put in my night stand
and never looked at again.
Does that sound familiar?
I not only never achieved my goals,
I didn't even remember what my goals were.
Once I started making a vision board,
I got laser focused and determined to achieve them.
So, why does a vision board work?
Well, it's not that the board itself causes your dreams
to magically appear; it's what the realization
and the clarity of your dreams does to you,
that makes it work.
So, personally, I do two things: I put massive,
long term dreams on my vision board
that could take five years, 10 years,
who knows how long it could take,
and then I put my 12 month goals
that I want to achieve this year or the following year.
For example, I have had motivational legend Les Brown
on my vision board for years, like five years,
and next month he's finally speaking
at my success conference in Dallas, Texas,
and I'm still freaking out!
But I'm telling you this works.
In fact, this week, like I said, I'm giving my subscribers
my book "Dream it. Pin it. Live it.
"How to make vision boards work for you" absolutely free,
you just pay shipping.
I want you to have the tools and the answers
to the questions you may have about
how to make your vision board for 2020.
So let's talk about your one year goals.
See, goals are simply dreams with deadlines.
Now, by having a deadline on your dreams,
it creates a sense of urgency.
Let's imagine it's December 31st of 2020,
and you look back over the year
and you enthusiastically say,
"This has been the most amazing year of my life!"
What would need to happen
for you to say something that bold?
What would have occurred in your personal life,
your finances, your family, your career, your body
for you to make such a bold statement?
See, whatever your response is, those are your goals.
So, step number one, is I want you to just write
your top 10 goals for the year.
Does it mean: you paid off that credit card of $4,000?
You went on a cruise or a dream trip with your girlfriends?
Does it mean you lost 25 pounds
and now you weigh your ideal body weight of 130 pounds?
Or you saved $10,000?
You read 12 books?
You started your own ministry or business
or blog or YouTube channel?
You wrote and printed your first book?
See, what needs to happen for 2020 to be your best year yet?
In fact, comment below one of your big goals for 2020,
'cause I love to read it.
So, here's the thing: writing your goals instantly moves you
into the top 3% of the most successful people in the world
who do this!
So, start writing one right now in the comments.
Remember, goals determine what drives you!
So, let me mention real quick some mistakes in goal-setting.
People get excited about goals, but they tend to start out
setting unrealistic goals in the beginning, things like:
I'm wanna be a millionaire.
I'm gonna to lose 50 pounds.
I'm gonna write four books.
I'm gonna have a million subscribers on YouTube.
I'm gonna save half a million dollars.
Well, here's the thing,
if you set goals that may take longer
than 12 to 18 months to achieve,
it destroys your confidence.
So, let's just imagine, if you had a bow and arrow
and you're trying to hit a target for the first time,
you're not gonna put it a hundred feet away,
it's too far starting out.
So your chance of success at hitting is too low.
So you bring it five feet away to build your confidence,
then move it 10 feet away, then 20.
Well, you do the same thing with your goals.
See, if your goals are all unrealistic,
you're gonna feel like a failure, you're gonna feel like,
what's the point of me even doing this?
So, most success coaches recommend you set goals
that have about a 50% chance of possibility.
Step number two is you start finding images
to match your top 10 goals for the year.
So you go to each goal one by one and you research images
that illustrate each goal.
You hold that picture in your mind
of you achieving that goal.
I just go online and print photos
and even crop my head in some of them,
chop people's heads off, put my head on there.
Personally, I prefer to have numbers
next to each of my top 10 goals for the year.
Step number three: write them in the present tense.
Don't just say "I will save $5,000, I will lose weight,
"I will stop smoking."
Those phrases put your dreams off into the future someday,
but not now.
So, write them in a positive, present tense declarations,
like, "I successfully save $5,000" or "I am enjoying
"a debt-free life of $17,000 paid in full."
Step number four: assign a deadline to each goal.
Now, it serves as this driving force.
And don't make all of your deadlines by December 31st,
because that just causes you to procrastinate
and wait till the end of the year to hurry
and try to check them off.
Step number five: look at your goals consistently.
Now this is so important.
You must keep them in a prominent place
that you will constantly look at.
So, to illustrate this, let's say goal number
is save $5,000.
Then print out a photo of cash.
Then, write the vision, "I successfully save $5,000
"by December 31."
Well, what I like to do is break it down even more.
I put increments of 5,000, 4,900, 4,800, 4,700,
all the way down to $100.
And every time I get another $100, I mark it through!
Because it is so motivating
to see those highlights on your vision board.
Let's just say goal number two is to vacation in Hawaii.
Place a photo of Hawaii, the resort you want to stay in,
or the excursions you wanna to take.
You could crop yourself at the beach.
Research the cost to achieve this goal, it could be flights,
hotel, meals, excursions, spending money,
and then write the vision.
Say, "I am vacationing with my family in Hawaii
"by July 31, $7,000."
Here's another example.
Let's say you want to pay off your car.
You could even take a photo of you
doing your little victory jump, you know,
standing by your car with your hands up,
celebrating your debt-free car!
Call the bank and find out the balance remaining.
Write the vision, say, "I am driving a debt-free car
"by September 30th, $6,436.08."
So, that's how I set goals for the New Year
and how I check them off year after year.
