"He opened my eyes"
“Terry brilliantly uses the space shuttle launch as an analogy to breaking through 8 obstacles that can hold you back from succeeding, not just financially, but in LIFE! He opened my eyes to the word, ‘excuses’, there’s nothing good about it! You don’t want to give excuses, and you certainly don’t want to hear excuses from your friends or collegues, either. Terry taught me that we should embrace failure, because if you don’t fail, you don’t succeed! His many personal experiences give it a nice little humor and make it fun to listen to! Each of the hurdles that Terry discusses represents each of the 8 bolts that hold the shuttle in place just before it launches, and that we have the power to break these bolts and take flight!”

"An entire lifetime of learning"
“Dear Mr. Terry L. Fossum,
You had me captivated me from the very first “Bolt”.
I stayed captivated through each and every one of the eight bolts.
I took handwritten notes and ended up with 17 single-spaced pages of ideas I have now learned from listening to your series. I have eagerly begun to formulate my Action Plan, including the Failure Scenarios, Actions, and Success Scenarios I want to achieve.
It took 6 years to finish my work for my Master’s of Education. In three short listening sessions, I feel as if I have completed an entire lifetime of learning through Terry L Fossum’s shared wisdom and experiences. And I feel as if I am completing a Master’s in My Life!!!
The examples you used, the stories you told, the activities you have created, and most of all the pure heart and soul of everything you said in your “BLOW THE BOLTS” series were all relatable and TRUE for me.
When I really examined my life, using the activities you so clearly described, and began applying your techniques and activities and ways of looking at things a bit differently, I realized I’ve truly been holding myself back from a greater, richer life.
When I retired 5 years ago, I was exhausted. I thought I had given every last ounce of energy I would ever have to my students; as I’ve been teaching now for 50 years (since the age of 15).
I’ve been simply resting, recovering, and existing. A few piano lessons here, acting classes there, filming a few commercials here, and a few movies there. It’s been low key and fun!
But now I’m ready again, and I WANT MORE from my life! Look out world, I’m coming out of hibernation!!!
Never did I realize how many things I was allowing to keep me from catapulting my life of simply existing, into a life of thriving!
Thank you Terry L. Fossum for sharing your heart, your soul, your wisdom, and your adventures so that everyone who listens can enjoy a richer, fuller life.
Gratefully,
- Viola Faye Allen”
