My biggest goal is to help YOU discover what you really want and help discover the map to head in the direction and arrive at the destination. You desire.

Grateful for You—The Thing and What’s Ahead

As we enter Thanksgiving week, I can’t help but pause and reflect on the incredible journey we’ve been on together. Leslie and I are about to board a flight back from Texas after spending a few days with her family whom we rarely get to see, in the closest thing to her “hometown.” I’m full of BBQ and TexMex and still blown away by all that God has done this year. We’ve spent 5 days home so far this month but November has been incredible. My heart is full—overflowing, really—because of you, this community, and the amazing moments we’ve shared together this year. Whether at one of our Thing events, at another event, or just engaging with my content throughout the year. This past month has been a powerful reminder of why we do this. Back in 2017, when I was beginning the journey to start the Thing, I wrote a manifesto, read the unfinished version at the 1st thing and just completed “The Thing Manifesto” right before the Thing Orlando 2024,, and I want to share it with the manifesto Poster we gave away in Orlando, and one of the big ideas: "At The Thing, we don’t settle for following someone else’s path. We create our own. Together, we’ve built a space where your ideas matter, where collaboration thrives, and where generosity runs deep. No one is waiting for you to do their thing, but we are all waiting for your thing to come alive." And that’s why I’m so thankful. You’re not just showing up; you’re bringing your dreams, your passion, and your creativity to life. You’re contributing to something that’s bigger than any one of us. That’s the work we are doing here. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re already dreaming about what’s next—new experiences, deeper connections, and opportunities to help you go further. I can’t wait to share more soon, but for now, let’s celebrate the magic we’ve already created together. I shared that we are going on Tour in 2025 and lot’s more to come. As we gather around the table this week, know that there’s always a seat for you at ours. You’re not just part of a community—you’re part of a family. Thank you for being part of this journey, for dreaming big, and for making The Thing extraordinary. Together, the best is yet to come. Don’t worry The Thing isn’t the ONLY thing going on, I have several book projects wrapping up, an exciting new membership release coming this Spring. Nothing to sell you, invite you to, I just wanted to say, thanks and we are grateful for you! What are you most grateful for??? With gratitude and a full heart, P.S. I’ve included The Thing Manifesto below as a reminder of what we’re building together. Feel free to share it—it’s the heart of everything we do. |

Yesterday was a whirlwind day in America. And today? It’s snowing in both Texas and Florida. But tonight, something extraordinary is happening: the planets—Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Venus, and even our little Earth—are aligning. There’s so much going on in the world, but this celestial event is a powerful reminder of the bigger picture. Yesterday, as I watched the inauguration (I always pause to watch—it’s a tradition I never miss), the peaceful transition of power always...
I know it’s that time between Christmas and New Year’s, and most people are trying to figure out what to do with those ugly socks from your cousin and when it’s finally okay to admit that nobody is going to eat that fruitcake. These last few weeks I’ve been looking back on the MAstermind in the Mountains we did in February, The Thing Nashville in June, and The Thing Orlando in November, and all of the amazing things that we’ve been helping remarkable leaders do, together. For me, this week...
It’s my birthday, and I’m celebrating in the best way possible—by giving YOU the gift! Because, honestly, I’m getting old, and I don’t need any more stuff…unless you’ve got a size 10-day all-inclusive resort on a private island (I’ll wait). Instead, I want to help you give yourself the best gift: an investment in YOU. Let's celebrate YOUR THING! For today only, I’m running a ONE DAY birthday sale for The Thing Orlando, happening November 8-10, 2024. Use the code TERRYISOLD24 and get 25% OFF...
