Terri's journey begins when she finds a love for sales during her childhood in Seattle and goes on to work under her dad's direction at one of his pizza restaurants. From him, she learns key business practices that she will put into effect to help her build and grow her career, including being kind to everyone and working hard. In her high school years, Terri takes a job in the cosmetics department of a drug store. She then applies for and is offered a position selling for Russ Berrie to gain experience. She does so well there that she is hired at L'Oréal for her outstanding performance. She quickly wins awards and moves up, and is then offered positions at other companies for her strong track record. Within the chapters, you'll observe how Terri sets goals and works to achieve them--and how you can do the same!

Throughout these years, Terri shows an ability to adapt to new roles and environments, and she's ready to help others do the same.

She jumps in and reinvents companies such as Schumacher, an interior design company that was in need of modernization. By building key partnerships while stirring in creativity and fun, Terri led the company to become a top player once again.
