In this powerful interview, Terri shared powerful principles to help you get what you want in a more rapid fashion, by being “scrappy!” To be scrappy means you must be gutsy!

  • To get what you want in life, you must be willing to go after it; and to go after it effectively, you need to be scrappy!
  • Scrappy is not just an action, but an attitude.
  • To achieve big things in life, you must be willing and able to sell your thoughts and ideas to someone else. If you can sell more effectively, you can get more accomplished quicker.  And the bigger your thinking and the bigger the “ask,” the bigger the rewards.
  • To be scrappy, you must be proactive and take personal action.
  • To make your dreams come true, you must dream, hope, pray… then you must move your feet!
  • To win big, you must decide to play big, and you must play bigger than others think is enough.
  • Scrappy is attitude and strategy. Think creatively!
  • Scrappy people set big audacious, outrageous goals; then fight to make them realities.
  • Since you’re going through life anyway, you might as well go through it and live your dreams!
  • Get scrappy and enjoy your journey!
