TERRI: Do your goals look something like this: lose
weight, save money, get out of debt, get closer to God, and
clean the house? If so, it's a setup for
failure. I'm going to teach you how to set goals
the right way so you can get results.
(Music)
TERRI: Hey, I'm Terri Savelle and you're watching Live Your
Dreams. I pray that as you invest in yourself today, you're
captivated and you're catapulted to live your dreams. Obviously,
I'm passionate about teaching people to go after the dreams,
the goals that Gods put in their heart. You know, I remember
hearing a story about Helen Keller, remember she was blind
and deaf? And, they asked her one time they asked her what
could be worse than having no sight? She said, "To have sight,
but have no vision." That would be the worst thing. To have
sight, but have no vision for you life. Well, obviously this
comes from the word of God. Gods the one who said, "Where there
is no vision, the people perish." I believe Gods speaking
to you today to get a vision for you life, to get your dreams
back. Don't go to the grave with your dreams still in you, right?
It's one thing to have a vision, to have it on the inside of you,
that's progress. But, let's kick it up a notch and actually get
your dreams and goals in writing, even on a vision board.
You know when I began doing this years ago, I went from just
wishing my life would improve to truly living my dreams. I've
heard stories of people who've had vision boards, or even just
put pictures on their refrigerator, or- I remember
this story, which I love this story about Conrad Hilton, you
know from the Hilton hotels? He did the same thing. He didn't
have a vision board, but listen to what he did. He said he was
coming out of the Great Depression, this was in 1929,
and he said you know they were suffering big losses, the crash
of 1929. All the sudden one day he came across this article in a
magazine and it was titled The Most Famous Hotel in The World;
it was the Waldorf Astoria. It was titled The Most Famous Hotel
in All The World, there in New York City. He said as he's
looking at that magazine, he looks at that hotel, God dropped
a dream in his heart that one day he would own that building.
Now, think about this. He's coming out of the Great
Depression, he said he could barely pay his own rent, it
looked like the most impossible thing in the world. But, he said
he grabbed some scissors, he cut that magazine article out, he
put it under the glass on his desk, and every day he looked at
that vision. Every day he kept that vision before his eyes. He
said years went by, looked like it would never happen. He said
whenever he would visit New York City, he would walk around that
hotel believing, praying, and dreaming that one day he would
own that property. 18 years later, he was able to acquire
250,000 shares of the Waldorf Astoria Corporation and he ended
up purchasing the most beautiful hotel in the world. That's the
power of having a vision clearly before you eyes. We know, you
might say things like "Well that's great, but that's Conrad
Hilton, what about me?". You know I love getting testimonies
from people, I've gotten testimonies from people all over
the world who are living their dreams. In fact, one girl, I
love this, in Minnesota, she said you know she was a personal
trainer for years and she's watching all these other people
succeed and improve their lives, and she said, "All the sudden I
got serious about my dreams." She made a vision board of her
owning her own gym, her own fitness facility. Well today,
she owns that gym. Another lady, who is a single mom of four
kids, recently divorced, living in Switzerland. She came to one
of my meetings in Germany, took the train to hear me, and she
said "As I began getting serious about my future, instead of just
watching everybody else live their dreams," she said "I made
a vision board of me owning my own cleaning company." She said,
"Today, I not only own that company, but I'm hiring more
employees." Well, she got serious about her future. Same
with another couple, they said everybody was always telling
them "Your food is amazing, you should open up your own
restaurant." Well, instead of just thinking "That's for
everybody else but me," they took it seriously. They said
they not only opened their own restaurant, but they were voted
one of the best restaurants in their city. They're living their
dreams, right? I want you to realize, God has so much more
for your life. God never meant for you to just get to a certain
place in your life and just park. In fact, I heard someone
say there's no neutral with God. We're either going forward or
we're going in reverse. God has more, but you know you've got to
get serious about it, you've got to realize that he has more for
your life. I love this story I heard about, it was a professor
who was getting ready to give his students the final exam of
the semester, it was the most important exam of the year. And,
he told them he said "You know, I am so proud of you, you've
done so good this year," he said "In fact I'm going to make you
an offer," he said "For those of you who would like to take an
automatic C, you don't even have to take the exam today, just
lift your hands you get an automatic C and you're free to
go." He said there was just quiet in the room, people
started looking around, is he serious? All the sudden one hand
went up, another hand went up, before you know it half the
class stood up and walked out. They were shouting, rejoicing
you know, "We didn't have to take the exam and we got a C."
Well, for the ones who remained he began to speak life into
them, he began to encourage them. He said things like, "You
know, because you stayed, you have proven that you want to go
far in life, that you're not going to settle for average.
That you're not going to just barely get by." And he said,
"Before you, don't turn the exam over," he went through the whole
classroom, he laid the exams face down, and he just kept
encouraging them. Then he said, "Because you believe in
yourself, turn the paper over." He turned it over and this is
what it said: "Congratulations, you just made an A." Think about
that, they believed that they were made for more. They
believed that they didn't have to settle for average. Why
settle for average when you're capable of so much more? I
believe God is saying that to you today, that he made you to
achieve big things. Don't settle for life the way it is, don't
settle for debt another 10 years, another 20 years. Don't
settle for an average job when you know God has put something
on the inside of you, that he has given you gifts and talents
that he wants to utilize, he wants to use your gifts. Well
you know, I love teaching people to dream, how to go after their
dreams, but one of the most powerful things you can do is
just sit quietly with the Lord and listen for his voice, and
whatever comes up in your spirit write it down. Just get a pen
and some paper and start writing down whatever you hear in your
heart. It's just like in the word of God, remember when Satan
came to tempt Jesus? And, every time Jesus would declare "It is
written," and he'd speak the word. Well, sometimes you have
no indication that your life will ever improve, but you can
look at that journal where you've been writing your time
with the Lord and you can say "It is written." I love this
story, this is just such a cool story, I was surprised to hear
who it was. It was about a young man who in 1976 he said he was
just struggling with what he wanted to do with his life, he
didn't have any real direction. So, he said he came home from
college, he went up to his moms beauty shop, and he's just
sitting there killing time waiting for his mom to get off
work. All of the sudden, one of the customers walked in named
Ruth. They knew each other, she'd seen him grow up through
the years, they said hi to each other. When Ruth sat down to get
her hair done, she said all the sudden something just came up in
her spirit and all she could think was "Somebody get me a pen
and some paper." So they did, and she began writing what she
saw in her spirit, and she wrote "You will speak to millions, you
will travel the world and make a positive difference." Well, she
folded it up, she handed it to the young man and she said
"Young man, this is for you." She said "God has something
amazing in your future." He said when he opened that up and read
it, something just came alive on the inside of him. He folded it
up, he put it in his wallet, he said he carried it around for
years. He said every time he would get discouraged, and he'd
want to give up on his dream and it looked like it would never
happen, he would open up that paper, read it, and he'd think
"Nope, I'm not going to give up. God has something amazing in my
future, somebody believes in me." Well, do you know today
Denzel Washington still carries that note everywhere he goes.
You know, sometimes you may have no indication that the dreams
Gods put in your heart, the dreams that maybe you've put on
a vision board, you have no indication that these dreams
will ever come to pass. It looks impossible, people are laughing
at your dreams, people think you're crazy for thinking this
could happen to you. Well, you have to get to a place in your
life where you point to that and you say "It is written, and be
it unto me according to my faith, and my faith believes
everything is possible to him who believes." You have to have
that kind of faith. I want to teach you not only how to have a
dream and a vision and a vision board, but I want to teach you
how to set goals the right way. I've heard a story about a
professor at Virginia Tech. He did research on successful
people and goal setting. He said he walked up to random people on
the street and he just asked them one question, he said "What
are your goals for life? What are your dreams, what are your
goals?" He said 80% of the people he asked said "I don't
have any dreams." 80% of the people walking around have no
dreams for their life. 16% said "I have some dreams, but I've
never written them down." 3% said "I've written my dreams at
some point, but I don't know where they are." 1% said "I have
dreams, I've written them down, and I review them on a
consistent basis. In other words they're in front of my eyes." He
said, "You know who the 1% were? Millionaires. Every one of them
were millionaires." And, the clues these millionaires have
left for us, number one I have dreams. Number two I write them
down. Number three, I keep them before my eyes. Something
powerful happens when you get serious about your dreams, your
goals, and you keep them consistently before your eyes.
Well, if they say 93% of New Years goals go unfulfilled, then
maybe we're just setting goals the wrong way. It's one thing to
have a vision, but you got to set goals the right way. So,
when we come back I'm going to teach you the smart goals'
technique on how to get specific, how to reach your
goals, so that it no longer just becomes something on
a board that you just wish would happen, but you
truly start living your dreams. I'll be right back.

TERRI: So, let's talk about moving into that seven
percent category of people who achieve their goals.
If you're anything like me, I used to set goals
that were so broad, common goals like lose weight, save
money, get out of debt, get closer to God, spend more time
with family, read more, get the house organized. Well, although
these goals are common, they're set up for failure, because
they're broad, they're unclear, they're hazy, and you don't even
really know what you're trying to achieve. They're so big
they're so broad. I had to learn how to set goals the right way,
and once I began to do that I began to reach them. Maybe
you've heard about the smart tips, S-M-A-R-T it's an acronym.
I want to teach that real quick, because I believe this will help
you go to the next level. The S stands for Specific. You have to
be as specific as you can be, you've got to bring clarity to
your dreams, the dreams you want to accomplish. Now, a wrong
example would be saying things like "I will save more money
this year." The right way to set a financial goal would be "I
will save $6,000 by December 31." Then you break it down, you
say okay that's $500 a month, that's roughly $250 from each
paycheck. Then you can see if that's even realistic, is that
something you can do? So, be specific, don't just say- you
know a lot of times people get a prophetic word for the year, and
we usually grab hold of those words. Well, I like to break it
a part. If somebody says it's a year of increase, what does that
mean to you? If it's a year of acceleration, what does that
mean in your life? If it's the year of the great breaking
loose, it's the great year, whatever it is, make it specific
to you. Define that. What it means in your life. So, the S is
being specific. Don't just say "I'm going to lose weight," what
does that mean? Be specific. The M stands for Measurable. This is
where you can truly measure whether or not you really hit a
goal. For example, the wrong way would be to say "I will lose
weight." Well, you could lose one pound and I guess you
reached your goal. Now, the right example would be "I will
weigh 120 pounds by May 15." If that's your goal. If your
current weight let's say is a 130 pounds, and you're specific
about it, you can measure your results. The A stands for Action
Orientated. Use action verbs when you set your goals. You
would say things like reduce, save, earn, exercise, invest,
enroll, run, things like that. Now, a wrong example would be
saying things like "I will be more consistent with exercise."
What does that mean? A right example is, "I will exercise
five days a week," and then you can break that apart by saying
"I will walk for 20 minutes on the treadmill." See, the more
clarity you add to your goal the more you will committed to it.
It's one thing to just say "I'm going to get closer to God."
What does that mean? That may mean "You know what, I'm going
to read 12 books of the Bible this year. I'm going to read one
book a month." You have to identify what it means when you
set these goals. My next point is Realistic. If your goals are
too big, you're setting yourself up to fail. I encourage you to
set goals that stretch you, that cause you to grow, that put a
demand on your faith, but also set goals that are somewhat
attainable. In fact, most goal setting experts, they recommend
that you set goals that have about a 50% chance of happening.
Yes, put a demand on your faith, but don't make it so crazy that
there's not a chance it could ever happen. Now, a wrong
example would be to say something like "I will save
$50,000 by May 31," if your current salary is $70,000.
Unless you live with momma, that's an unrealistic goal. A
right example would be "I will save 10% of my current salary."
If your salary is $70,000, then you would say "I will save
$7,000." Then of course, you break it up into
monthly goals. What does that mean you need to
save every single month? So, set goals that have some
chance of being attained. Then, the T stands for Timeline.
In a sentence, deadlines are motivating. When
you establish a deadline to your goal, it just gives you that
motivation to achieve it. It keeps you motivated whenever you
say "I'm going to do this by a certain day." In fact, you may
have heard that the quickest way to clean your house, invite some
company over. That's a quick deadline, and your whole family
goes into second gear. You will get the whole thing clean in 20
minutes because somebodies on their way. They say the most
productive day of the year is the day before vacation; why?
Because there's a deadline. Well, the quickest way to
achieve your goals is to attach a deadline to it. A wrong
example would be just to say, "I will write my book." Like, some
of you may have a dream, God may have spoken to you to write a
dream, maybe he told you that five years ago, but as long as
you just keep saying "I'm going to write my book," chances are
it's not going to happen because there's no deadline attached to
it. A right example would be to say, "I will finish my
manuscript by September 30." I want to challenge you to get
serious about the dreams and the goals that Gods put in your
heart. In my workbook I teach you the right and wrong way how
to set goals, and some of the most compelling ways that I've
learned to set and achieve my goals. But, the reason I'm so
passionate about this, it's not so much about winning the Grammy
award and having the house at the Pacific Ocean. Those are
great, and I believe God will give you the desires of your
heart, if that's what he has for your life. But, the main thing
is there are certain things that Gods going to hold you
accountable for achieving during your lifetime, and you don't
want to come to Judgement Day and say "Lord, I meant to do
that I just never found the time, or I just didn't really
know how to go after it." That's why I'm so committed to teaching
you how to achieve your goals, because if you're like me, I
want to be able to stand before God and say, "Lord, I did my
best to do everything you put me on Earth to do." One of the ways
that I like to teach people to get serious about their goals,
because you know you may hear this message, you might think
"That's great, but Terri I don't even know what my goals are."
And, trust me I understand. I used to get out a sheet of paper
on January 1, I would write my broad goals you know like I said
before, lose weight, get closer to God, save money. I would put
them in my nightstand and never look at them again. Do you think
I achieved my goals? I don't even remember what I wrote, much
less go after them. When I began learning messages like I'm
teaching today, about how to get serious about my future, I began
to learn techniques on how to set goals the right way. One of
them is, and this is one of the most compelling ways to get in
touch with your goals, is for you to imagine, project forward,
to December 31 of this year. Just imagine it's December 31,
you're at the New Years Eve party, and you say to your
friends, "This has been the most amazing year of my life." Now,
what would need to happen for you to say something that bold?
Something that, you know, affirmative. "This has been the
most amazing year of my life." What needs to happen for you to
say that? Number two, is write your top 10 goals. Whatever it
is, just write it down, write your top 10 goals on paper. The
next step is do this for 30 days, for 30 days you write your
top 10 goals. But, here's the catch, don't flip the page to
see what you wrote the day before, just write what you can
remember. You may not remember all 10 of them, but that's okay.
That just means all 10 of them weren't that important to you.
So, every day for 30 days you write your top goals. If you can
remember five that's great, do it again the next day, do it
again the next day. I learned this years ago, and I wasn't
disciplined to do this, I'd never done it before in my life,
so I had to set the alarm on my phone it was like 10 o'clock
every day, and the alarm would go off and it would say write
your goals, I was like "Oh yeah, write my goals." I'd get my
little notebook out and I would write my goals without looking
at what I wrote the day before. Well, after doing this for 30
days, you become so energized, so motivated, so ambitious to
achieve those dreams, there's not a chance you're going to
give up on them, there's not a chance you're going to forget
about them. Because, every day for a solid month you're
thinking about it, you're writing them down. Then, you
start looking for opportunities to achieve those dreams. What I
like to do is after I've written my top 10 goals, I like to make
a vision board to match those goals. If you have a dream to
get out of debt, I would call the bank today, find out how
much debt you owe, get a picture of money and write down that
amount. And, every day you're looking at that dream, you're
praying over that dream. If it's a dream to pay off your car, I
would go get a picture of you in front of your car doing the
victory pose, call the bank find out how much you owe on that
car, put that vision before your eyes and every day starting
speaking to that vision. You know, the thing that happens,
it's so amazing. Have you ever bought a car and then all of a
sudden you see your type of car all over the road, but you never
saw it before? That's because now your new car is right here,
at the forefront of your mind, so you see it everywhere. You
recognize it on the road, everywhere you go. But, here's
the thing, that car was there all along, you just never
noticed it, but now that your new car is right here at the
forefront of your mind you see it everywhere. Did you know the
same thing happens with your dreams and goals? When you write
them down for 30 days, when you put pictures and images to your
dreams, you make a vision board, you're praying over those
dreams? Do you know, you're going to start seeing
opportunities all around you to achieve those dreams? They were
there all along, you just never noticed them. But, now that your
dreams are right here at the forefront of your mind, you're
going to observe opportunities, ideas, resources, relationships,
that you never saw before. So, that's why it's so important
that you keep these before your eyes. You've heard that old
phrase, "Out of sight, out of mind." Let me just challenge you
with this, if you write down three big financial goals, in
order to achieve any of them you've got to get focused on one
at a time. There's power to focused. I remember years ago, I
had a dream to write a certain book about using your
imagination and dreaming big, and then I had another idea I
wanted to create like a dream journal to teach people how to
put pictures and images of their dreams. Then, I wanted to write
a book on breaking soul ties. So, I'd be on an airplane I'd be
jotting down ideas on breaking soul ties, then I would be at
home I'd write ideas on the book about imagine big. I was so
frustrated, I had three dreams in my heart halfway written,
affecting nobody. Helping nobody. All the sudden, I had to
stop thinking about two of the books and focus on one. Focus on
one at a time, write it all the way until it was completed, get
it printed, and let it go out and help some people. You know,
you've got to the same thing with your goals. If you have a
goal of you know paying of a student loan of $3,000, or
paying off a credit card of $7,000, then you want to pay off
your car, $10,000. Well, write all those goals down but focus
on one at a time. Which one? The smallest one. Pay off that
school loan of $3,000. So, Napoleon Hill said "Goals are
simply dreams with deadlines." It's one thing to have a dream
but sometimes you just got to break it down into some
measurable goals. So, I want you to get this special offer we've
put together, my book Dream It, Pin It, Live It: Make Vision
Boards Work For You. I'm going to teach you how to stretch your
imagination, how to think big, but also how to set the
realistic goals that you need to achieve now so then you can go
after the bigger dreams God has for you. What do you do once you
set the goals? What do you while you're waiting? What do you do
when it looks like it's never going to happen? There's even a
chapter on who should see your vision board, who should see
your goals? You can't just share your dreams with anybody.
There's all these chapters that I know are going to help you get
serious about the dreams and the goals that Gods put in your
heart. The Apostle Paul said this, "This one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching for
those things which are ahead." He said, "I press toward the
mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus." Well,
those marks were goals, they were intermediate objectives. I
believe God wants you to press toward the mark that he has for
your life. I want you to get this teaching, this is a
workbook to teach you how to set goals, and then the audios to go
with it. So, you can just push play, faith comes by hearing. I
know this is going to help you go into a whole new gear so that
this year is completely different than last year, so
that you can look back and say "Lord, this has been the most
amazing year of my life." Let's learn to succeed on purpose,
right? Don't look at the years you've lost, look at the years
you've got left and start living your dreams. Be sure to follow
us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, I want to keep you
motivated to achieve every dream that God has put in your heart.
God has no respect or persons, and I believe he's speaking to
you today. He's saying "Come on, don't settle where you are,
don't settle for average, I have so much more for your life."
Press towards the mark, get serious about your future,
you know take the time today to just sit down,
order these resources, and start thinking about
the dreams that Gods put in your heart.
