Coming from humble beginnings, growing up in one of the poorest cities in the country, Terry overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to achieve success. As a young boy, he found himself at the wrong end of an assault rifle in his back alley. Life was dangerous and realities were tough. Before his father was killed, his neighbor once said to him, “I just want to make sure you understand something: Not one of your sons will ever grow up to be anything.” Those words are still prevalent in Terry’s life, even as he becomes successful in his various endeavors. This moment inspired one of the founding principles of his “Oxcart Technique”, which states that setting a goal is not as motivating as setting a goal with the combination of the fear of what happens when that goal is not achieved. The reference for the technique comes from the parable of a donkey with a carrot on a stick. Terry’s motivation wasn’t just to make it out of his small Texas town or to build a better future for himself but to also never let what that neighbor had said come true.

Part of his determination moved him to console in self-improvement techniques. From positive visualization to the famous “secret to success”, Terry applied all sorts of methods and theories to aid him in his career
