Terri Britt grew up in a small town in Arkansas with only two stoplights and a population of 4,000. Her dad was a hardworking realtor, and her mom stayed home to care for Terri and her younger sister. Terri always admired her dad, who told her, “You can be anything you want to be.” She dreamed of working in broadcasting and worked hard at everything she did, hoping it would bring her happiness and love.
Terri even won Miss USA in 1982, but deep down, she felt something was missing. She had a great broadcasting job, covering big events like the Academy Awards and the Cannes Film Festival, but still felt unfulfilled. Eventually, she left everything to become a mom, searching for a deeper sense of joy and purpose.
Becoming an Entrepreneur
Terri’s life changed when her dad died at the age of 54. He had lost everything during a recession and turned to drinking and smoking, which ultimately took his life. This tragic event woke Terri up. She realized that like her dad, she had been working herself to exhaustion and needed to find a new way to live.
Terri began studying meditation and intuitive healing, which brought her a sense of peace and joy she had never felt before. This personal transformation led her to start her own spiritual coaching business, helping others discover their gifts and passions.
Building a Business Empire
For 25 years, Terri has coached people from all walks of life, including television executives, doctors, nurses, teachers, moms, dads, and entrepreneurs. In 2013, she and her husband, Charlie, bought a small coffee roasting company called JumpinGoat Coffee Roasters in Helen, Georgia. At first, Charlie worked himself to the bone trying to grow the business.
Terri introduced Charlie to the idea of Prosperity Consciousness, which means following your heart and not feeling guilty about it. After having Charlie listen to a meditation on Prosperity Consciousness versus Poverty Consciousness, Charlie said, “I’m living in Poverty Consciousness.”
Terri asked why and he responded, “I am on the road all of the time going after wholesale business. I don’t want to do it anymore. I want the business, but I want to be home with you and the dogs. I am done.”
When Charlie stopped going on the road and embraced this prosperity mindset, wholesale business came flooding in and their business began to thrive. They bought a building on seven and a half acres in a small tourist town and launched JumpinGoat Coffee Roasters & Tasting Room. As both Terri and Charlie focused on raising their Worthiness Quotients and living in Prosperity Consciousness, their business flourished.
Guiding Values and Leadership
Terri’s business decisions are guided by her intuition and a deep connection to God. She believes in honoring and loving the way she was created, which means putting God first. Every day, she asks how she can serve humanity, knowing that her personal healing can help others find peace, joy, balance, love, and abundance.
As a leader, Terri encourages her team to be themselves, share their hearts, stand in their truths, and follow their instincts. She creates a positive culture by exemplifying these values.
Challenges and Overcoming Them
Terri’s biggest challenge as a female entrepreneur was letting go of the belief that “the man’s way” was the right way. She learned to embrace her uniqueness and the Divine Feminine, which involves being kind and gentle to herself, and listening to her intuition. This balance of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine made life easier and more fulfilling.
Staying Focused and Motivated
Terri stays focused and motivated through meditation and connecting with God. She knows that if she gets too busy, she will end up back on the hamster wheel of stress. Taking time for herself and getting out in nature helps her find answers and stay balanced.
Work-Life Balance
Balance is crucial for Terri. She believes that her mind, body, and spirit need to be in sync for her to thrive. She creates this balance by meditating, journaling, and taking inspired action by listening to her intuition. Loving herself unconditionally and staying connected to her truth helps her maintain this balance.
Defining Success and Long-Term Goals
For Terri, success means doing what she loves and feeling joyful, peaceful, supported, guided, loved, and fulfilled. Her long-term goal is to continue raising her Worthiness Quotient and living with no limits, creating a life of passion, purpose, and love.
Message for Aspiring Women
Terri’s message to aspiring women is to love themselves unconditionally, listen to their truth, and put God first. She says, “You raise your Worthiness Quotient and open up to receive the abundance you desire when you honor and love the way you were created, and you do it without shame or guilt.”
Terri encourages women to own their worth and follow their intuition, believing that the universe is full of abundance. By doing this, they can get off the hamster wheel of stress and struggle and live a life of joy and fulfillment.
Terri Britt believes that women have the power to create peace, balance, and love on the planet by honoring and loving the way they were created. She hopes to inspire women to claim their crowns, own their worth, and change the world by being their true selves. Through her global community, Women Leaders of Love, she aims to help women thrive from the inside out and make a positive impact on the planet by ending the cycle of lack, stress and struggle.
Terri offers a free Worthiness Quotient Breakthrough Bundle on her website, which includes an e-book and guided meditations to help women discover their truth and purpose. You can find this gift at www.terribritt.com/leaders.
