Have you ever taken the time to examine your identity and how it’s impacted your life? For most of us, that’s not something we ever even think of doing. Our identity kind of runs in the background, and yet it impacts everything we do. 

Every day we show up and live our lives based on who we believe we are and how we perceive ourselves—and these beliefs can either help us or hurt us. In essence, what we believe about ourselves—good OR bad—is what we become.

Today, we’re going to bring our unexamined identities to the surface and I’m going to share actionable steps you can take to intentionally and strategically upgrade your identity in order to upgrade your reality.

Key Takeaways

• How anyone can upgrade their identity to improve any aspect of their life.
• Why so many top performers activate an “alter ego” so they can perform at their best.
• How I upgraded my identity as a father to transcend mediocrity and show up for my kids as “Superdad.”
• How you can conceptualize what it means to be a peak performer in any environment and define your ideal identity.
• What you can do to create an opportunity for virtually instant transformation.
• The four simple steps you can take to identify which aspects of your identity you need to improve, what might be holding you back, what you want to change, and how to live it.

Ever since my last book published (The Miracle Equation), I’ve been working on a new book that I truly believe will be my most important contribution to date. Recently, I had a bit of an unconventional idea, which is for you, me, and our community to co-create the book together.

In order to do that, I’ve already been sharing and testing concepts from the book on this podcast over the last few months, and on today’s episode I want to go one step further: I want to break down the current manuscript with you, chapter-by-chapter, and get your thoughts and feedback.

As of now, the book is tentatively titled The Miracle Life and is about showing you how to experience what I call “true freedom” by accessing your inherent ability to choose how you experience life in every moment, regardless of your circumstances.

Also, as part of the process of co-creating this book with you, I’ll be doing an “Ask Me Anything” episode soon, to learn what you most want help with. And I set up a page for you to submit any question you have for me. So, if you have a question that you’d like to ask me—any question at all—please submit it at HalElrod.com/AMA. I look forward to answering your question on an upcoming podcast episode!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The factors that hold us back from experiencing true freedom.
• What it means to achieve the “next level” of success and fulfillment in the most important area(s) of your life—and how to make that happen.
• The value of changing the rules of how you play the game of life.
• How to find true joy in the perfection of every moment, exactly as it is.
• Why this new book will NOT end in a 30-day Challenge, but instead it will be a 30-day Sabbatical.

Finding the balance between work life and family life isn’t always easy. Whether you’re a father, a mother, or a spouse without kids, there’s no feeling quite like that of thriving in your personal relationships. But it takes hard work, setting priorities, and a strong community to truly thrive. 

Today, I’m speaking to one of my closest friends, Jon Vroman. We just spent four days together at a retreat led by his organization, Front Row Dads – a group for entrepreneurial-minded dads who believe in family first. Since 2016, I’ve watched Jon help men and their families learn, grow, and level up. 

In this conversation, Jon and I talk about what he’s learned from five years of leading Front Row Dads. You’ll learn how to create breakthroughs in your relationships, rethink the act of resolving conflict, improve your emotional intelligence, and discover actionable strategies to enhance and even master your family life. 

And if you like this episode, Jon and I will also be hosting a FREE online group masterclass—specifically for husband and fathers—called “Family Man Mastery” on Tuesday, June 1st at 12:00 p.m. EST. If you’re interested, you can go to FrontRowDads.com/Hal to sign up now.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• The importance of modeling good relationships for your kids, no matter what kind of family you have.
• How to transform your marriage by focusing on being the perfect partner for your spouse.
• How to unpack and make sense of what happens when you’re triggered.
• How to reframe situations when you feel like you’re truly out of alignment with your spouse.
• What you can do to build a legacy in real-time for your children to treasure in the years and decades to come.
• And much more! :^)

How does one go from completely lacking confidence and not using their voice to being able to effectively inspire, lead, and influence others? How do you get over your fear of saying the wrong thing, or feeling unqualified? And how do you transform yourself, become fearless, and help others change their lives for the better?

Here to help me answer these questions is my good friend, Brianna Greenspan. Brianna and I first met when she hired me to be her life & business coach over 15 years ago. Now, she uses her voice to further the Miracle Morning mission, hosting the official Miracle Morning Clubhouse room for over 2,000 people each day (live from 8:00-10:00 a.m. Eastern time). She is also the co-creator of The Miracle Morning Art of Affirmations, a positive affirmation coloring book for adults and kids.

Today, Brianna joins the podcast to share the process she went through to conquer her fears of putting herself out there and sharing her message with the world. She talks about how you can model her transformation, develop confidence and amplify your voice to help others.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• How Brianna conquered some tough health challenges to show up in her life like never before.
• How Brianna used the Miracle Morning practice to unmute herself after decades of being a person who never raised her hand in class or spoke in public.
• What Clubhouse is, how Brianna is using it to build a new side of the Miracle Morning community, and how it is transforming lives.
• How Brianna has started Miracle Morning programs in schools across the world. 
• How to use your voice to inspire fellow leaders and change the world at scale.
• Steps you can take right now to start using your voice to share your message with the world. 
• Why humanity needs individual personal leadership right now.

Today we’re answering the following questions, together: 

• Do goals still matter, or should we just focus on being in the moment and enjoying our lives? 
• Or can we do both? 
• And if goals do matter, is there any part of the process of achieving a goal that is more important for us to focus on than the goal itself? 
• And if there is a part of the process of achieving our goals that deserves more of our focus, what is that and how can we harness it to achieve and experience everything we want in life? 

I’ve recently overcome some struggles when it comes to setting and achieving goals, and in this episode, I’m asking questions as I explore and share how my perspective and practice has changed over time. 

You’ll learn some of the pros and cons of goal setting, how to identify the real purpose of your goals (and why it’s rarely about successfully achieving them), and some simple steps on how to effectively set goals and establish effective behaviors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How goal setting can stop you from being present.
• Why we often falsely believe that achieving our goals means that we’ve succeeded - and why our feeling of satisfaction after achieving a goal can ring so hollow.
• Why moving in the direction of a goal matters more than hitting a target or achieving a specific outcome. 
• The process I learned at 19 to set and achieve goals - and how accountability helped me pursue sales records, write books, and grow every business I’ve ever aspired to build.

Okay, so I’m going to start by warning you that today’s podcast episode (and this email) might be a little more “woo-woo” than you’re used to from me. :^) 

I recorded today’s episode a few days ago, directly after I experienced one of the best Miracle Mornings of my life. I went deeper into meditation than I usually do, opening myself up to a message I felt I needed to receive, and got back something more direct, specific, and experiential than I expected.

I felt like I was given the secret to accessing heaven on earth. And after I finished my meditation, I went out and lived it. I was able to look at myself with unconditional love, see the perfection in each moment, and be present to what came to me as the holy trinity of miracles: body + planet + spirit.

I told you today’s a little woo-woo. :^) 

In this episode, I encourage you to ask yourself, “What is heaven on Earth, and how can I experience it?” I also share a perspective I had as to what constitutes heaven on earth might be like, and why it may just be available to us at all times.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The holy trinity of miracles
• Why the human race was given everything we need to experience heaven on earth (and how we might have messed it up) 
• How meditation can help us connect and communicate with a higher consciousness
• Why life is a buffet of ideas, concepts, principles, and practices - and how to find what works best for you
• How to work on loving yourself, being yourself, and living freely
• Why unlearning everything gives us the power to be truly present

Today’s guest has touched the hearts and minds of millions of people worldwide, helping them to upgrade their lives with his teachings of self-mastery, radical self-acceptance, and inspired action.

Jesse is a speaker, mentor, entrepreneur, and all around lover of life. In our unscripted and uncensored conversation today, Jesse and I touch on a variety of topics, including the balance between ambition and happiness, why you don’t have to wait to experience freedom and joy, dealing with negative opinions, preparing for disasters, and much more. 

If you want to better understand how you can expand your life (not out of fear) and experience more freedom and joy, this episode is for you!

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why it’s so hard to make a difference in the world if you’re not having fun.
• Why people who focus their energy on producing amazing free content break Jesse’s heart.
• The difference between rejection and refusal - and why the responses you get from people often have nothing to do with you personally.
• How being curious and hungry can bring out curiosity and hunger in others.
• The value of being prepared for disasters, war, and power outages - and why it’s important to be “aware, but not afraid” and “prepared, but not paranoid.”
• Why Jesse sees his life as indestructible.

How do you define happiness? And what if you had the power to be genuinely happy, all the time, no matter what was going on in your life? 

We’ve been conditioned to believe that happiness is something to be attained through achievement, success, and validation from others. Oftentimes, we make the mistake of treating happiness like it’s some sort of goal we must reach...  

“If only I had more money…”

“If only I had a different career…”

“If only I had better relationships...”

“If only I had a more… different... better…” 

The truth is that happiness isn’t something you attain; it’s within you. It’s available to you 24/7, and it isn’t dependent on anything outside of you. You just need to understand how to tap into it. 

In today’s episode, I’m going to give you the tools to experience true happiness — even during difficult times — and teach you how to consistently wake up every day feeling like it’s the best day of your life (because it truly can be).

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Redefining happiness and success – and why these things normally overlap.
• Why seeking validation from others makes your happiness conditional - and is both dangerous and highly addictive.
• How we can choose to be happy independent of our conditions, even when facing adversity.
• Why choosing unconditional happiness doesn’t mean rejecting sadness or depression. 
• The three components of my current definition of happiness, how it has evolved over time, and ideas to create your own.

Have you ever thought about writing a book? Have you considered the impact that writing a book can make on your life and your financial security? Did you know that you can literally write and publish a book in as little as 90 days?

Personally, I can tell you that writing and self-publishing my book The Miracle Morning is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, because it enabled me to help millions of other people while providing financial security for my family. So, I’m committed to help as many other people as possible to experience those benefits. 

In today’s podcast episode, you’ll get to listen in on my conversation with my long time friend, bestselling author and founder of Self-Publishing School, Chandler Bolt. You’ll hear Chandler’s incredible story (that you can learn from and model) of how he self-published his first book at 20 years old and turned that into a $26 million business by age 27! But first…

Do you struggle with your visualization practice? I know I do - it’s the least strong of my S.A.V.E.R.S. and something I’m always looking to better understand, enhance, and otherwise improve. 

This is why today’s episode is guest hosted by my good friend, Chip Franks. In addition to being an incredible author, stroke survivor, father, and husband, Chip is an expert when it comes to the Miracle Morning and each of the S.A.V.E.R.S. And when he surprised me with this podcast episode that he recorded specifically for our community, I immediately wanted to share it with you. 

Today, Chip goes deep into visualization. You’ll learn why it’s the least understood of the S.A.V.E.R.S., what makes it so important, and discover 10 ways to get creative with your visualization practice.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• #1: Be clear on what you want to visualize, and use your goals or a feeling that you want to have happen in your life to guide your visualization.
• #2: Take the hammer approach instead of the butterfly approach.
• #3: Engage every sense in your visualization to make the experience more awesome.
• #4: Deeply feel your visualization to give your subconscious something to work on.
• #5: Use the two-part visualization to imagine not just your end goal, but the steps you’ll take to get there.
• #6: Visualize in both the first- and third-person.
• #7: Push through the hard parts to conquer obstacles and prevent yourself from failing prematurely.
• #8: Create deep intention with no attachments.
• #9: Use visualization to act perfectly.
• #10: Combine visualization with your other S.A.V.E.R.S. to bring the best out of everything.

Ever since I finished writing my last book (The Miracle Equation), I’ve been actively learning and evolving in an attempt to figure out one thing: how can I best contribute to humanity? In other words, what do all of us need that I might be able to help people experience? 

Through daily meditation and prayer, engaging with your community, and consistently reading and learning, I have become more and more clear. I’m currently deep into the research phase, which means I’m reading and re-reading 6 or 7 books right now, as well as constantly striving to become the person I need to be to live and ultimately deliver that message. 

Rather than make you wait until a new book, in today’s episode, I’d like to share with you what I’ve been learning as I’ve experienced it. I want to give you some new distinctions, insights, lessons, strategies, and knowledge that you can use to improve your own life - however they may serve you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why my main goal right now is to achieve inner freedom and to be in a place where no circumstances, and nothing anyone says or does can affect my emotional state - and why it’s okay if I never get there.
• The power of surrender. 
• Why it’s impossible not to be selfish as we work to become the best versions of ourselves - and why that’s okay.
• The books I’ve been diving into over the last year - and what I’ve learned from them.

A few weeks ago, John Lee Dumas and I had a conversation about his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment, and we’ve both been blown away by the response. I got a huge number of comments, emails, and responses, and John got more emails after our podcast than any other he’s ever recorded.

One of the questions I was asked was simply, “What are the 17 steps to uncommon success?” With John’s book still weeks away from release, I asked him if he’d be willing to pull back the curtain and share ALL of these steps with the Miracle Morning Community - and he was gracious enough to say, “Yes, let’s do it!”

Today, John returns to the podcast for the second time in less than 30 days—something I’ve never done before—to share all 17 steps to uncommon success, with my added insights and commentary.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How a single quote (from Albert Einstein) transformed John Lee Dumas’ life more between the ages of 32 and 41 than he did in his first three decades on Earth.
• The life-changing power of the ripple effect.
• John’s 17 steps to achieve Uncommon Success (taken from 3,000+ interviews). 
• How John was able to get the BEST person to interview for each step. 
• How you can apply each step to create your own path to uncommon success. 
• And much more…

Today, you’re in for a treat! This episode is quite a bit different than our usual format, but I promise it’s packed with a ton of value. It’s actually a replay taken from a 2-hour Clubhouse welcome party that I did for The Miracle Morning Community. 

In case you’re not familiar with Clubhouse, it’s basically an audio-only chatting app where individuals can host and join different conversations. It’s sort of like a live podcast, except the major difference is that the audience is able to raise their hand and be invited onto a virtual stage to interact and participate with the speakers. 

A few weeks ago, my friend Gary Henderson offered to host a welcome party as a way for me to connect and communicate with people in our community and beyond. During this 2-hour session, you’ll hear an interview between me and a group of carefully selected moderators. We then shift gears and open up the dialogue to a Q&A format so people listening could join in. 

We touch on A LOT of Miracle Morning related topics, but in a way that you’ve never experienced before. The beauty of Clubhouse is that it’s not just a one-way discussion. I’m getting questions in real-time that people are struggling with, and through this platform, we get to work out the answers together.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• What does it mean to elevate our consciousness and how does that collectively elevate the consciousness of humanity?
• How to take control of your inner world. What happens on the outside doesn’t have to dictate what happens on the inside! 
• Why every challenge we face is an opportunity to help other people ease their suffering. 
• Why your resistance to reality is the cause of all of your emotional pain and suffering - and what you can do instead to overcome life’s biggest challenges. 
• Stories from the most difficult moments of my life, including my recent struggle with depression and losing my will to live. 
• Why our dependence on smartphones is detrimental to our mental and emotional well being - and where I believe we should be focusing our attention instead! 
• How to transform your state of mind at ANY moment, using Emotional Optimization Meditation.
• 3 steps you can use to create real results with your affirmations and visualizations - and the 2 biggest reasons why most affirmations never come true. 
• How I use the S.A.V.E.R.S to optimize my own mental and emotional well being. 
• Q&A with a ton of Clubhouse listeners!

We can all see struggle and hardship in the world, and we all want to make a difference. But how do we get our ideas off the ground and give back in authentic, effective ways?

Autumn Strier had a grand vision to help families in need, and she now lives in service of that vision every day. She’s the founder and CEO of Miracles for Kids, an organization I discovered a few months back and immediately started supporting. They help families with critically ill children fight bankruptcy, homelessness, hunger and depression, giving them the resources and strength they need to fight for their kids’ lives. 

Thanks to you and everyone who supported The Miracle Morning Movie, we donated $9,200 from the ticket sales, and committed to donate an additional $1,000 per month, every month.

Today, Autumn and I are talking about how the kindness and generosity of others can help people build the lives they want, what happens when you get over self-doubt and believe in yourself, and the powerful ripple effect that you can create when you discover how you can best give back.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• How being on the receiving end of charity as a child and working since the age of 10 inspired Autumn to give back as she grew up.
• How Autumn turned a family friend’s unused employee contribution fund and tax I.D. letter into a thriving nonprofit despite already having a full-time job, a traveling husband, a two-year-old, and a baby weeks away from being born with a critical illness. 
• Why people considering starting charities should look for a unique angle and be ready to pivot - just like if you’re launching a business.
• What Miracles For Kids is doing to help families during the pandemic - and how you can support this wonderful organization.

There’s no way around it: we all live in a society where we have to earn money in order to pay for the things we need. However, that doesn’t mean that the money we earn has to be directly linked to our time, or that we have to spend our lives doing things we don’t enjoy in order to provide for ourselves and those we love. 

John Lee Dumas knows this very well. On his award-winning podcast Entrepreneurs On Fire, which has over 100,000,000 listens, he’s interviewed more than 2,700 of the world’s most successful leaders in business. In his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success, he takes what he’s learned from those 2,700 interviews and lays out a proven 17-step roadmap to help his readers achieve financial security, freedom and fulfillment.

In our conversation today, John and I talk about how he was able to overcome PTSD in order to build a multi-million dollar business, how his 17-step system is helping people to achieve their goals, and why it’s time to stop being uncomfortable when it comes to talking about money.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• How John found his footing as he confronted PTSD, professional failure, and depression after serving in the US military.
• Why every single highly successful entrepreneur has followed John’s 17 steps, whether they know it or not. 
• How to find your big idea, discover your niche, and create a solid content production plan.
• How building the financial life you want gives you the freedom and power to give back to the people and organizations you care about the most.

A lot of us want more time, more money, and more freedom, but we don’t know how to make it happen. We don’t know what steps to take, what we need to do, or how to get started.

This is why Ray Higdon’s message spoke to me, and I’m pleased to say that today’s podcast exceeded my expectations. Ray is the author of the new book, Time, Money, Freedom: 10 Simple Rules to Redefine What’s Possible and Radically Reshape Your Life. In it, he and his wife Jessica share how they achieved personal and financial independence - and give their readers a step-by-step process to build confidence and take control of their lives.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• Ray’s childhood story of overcoming an abusive relationship with his stepmother.
• Why Ray decided to write the book, Time, Money, Freedom.
• Why anyone can create a great life despite a bad past.
• How your hardships can inspire others and positively impact the world.
• The concept of “plucking your weeds” - identifying and changing areas of your life that are incongruent with your values. 
• Why more money = more good! 
• The power of vulnerability - and why sharing your story is the inspiration others need! 
• Why success shouldn’t be associated with monetary gains or status - and a much better way to measure it.
• Having a WHY that makes you cry and the secret to making real progress towards it.

What are your financial goals for 2021? Entering into the New Year, we often talk about transforming our health, our relationships, and our careers - but what about our finances? I don’t know about you, but I’ve been guilty of making mistakes when it comes to setting goals for income, savings, and wealth creation. Fortunately, there’s no better time to change than now. 

Joining me today to talk about this is Robert Gonzalez. Robert is the founder and CEO of MyBooks.PRO, a profitability and bookkeeping company that works with individuals and entrepreneurs. I’ve known Robert for fifteen years, and I was his coach back in 2009 – helping him with leadership and business strategies. Now, our roles have been reversed, as I coach with him – specifically on my finances. 

In this episode, Robert and I are talking about how to track your fin

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• The common mistakes that people make when it comes to their finances.
• The difference between using QuickBooks and working with a financial coach.
• What makes financial goals not that different from the other goals we set for ourselves each year - and how to hold yourself to them, even if you have variable income.
• Tools you can use to create automatic savings and solve your budget problems.
• The four stages of financial freedom.

I’m not sure if our world has ever been this divided. From my vantage point, I’ve never seen so much judgement, condemnation, hatred, and vitriol toward one another, especially between people of different belief systems. 

The reality is that we’re all human beings. We’re all part of the human family, and no matter how our beliefs might differ from one another, we’re all a lot more alike than we are different. We all want to be happy, to be healthy, to have freedom, to feel safe, and to feel respected.

Inspired by a Facebook Live session I did last week, today’s episode is about the consequences of judging and condemning others, the power of unconditional love (and why it’s not the same thing as tolerating harmful or abusive behavior), and how this radical gesture has the power to help us heal the world.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• The consequences of judging others based on your own life experiences.
• Why human beings have so much more in common than we do differences.
• How unconditional love can heal the world, beginning with healing yourself. 
• How do you love someone who has wronged you? 
• Trading in your judgement for empathy.
• The difference between blame and responsibility. 
• What it means to be part of a human family.
• Why putting labels on people makes it impossible to appreciate, respect, or love them.

What does it mean to achieve financial freedom? Is it being able to provide for our families and not worry about making our next rent or mortgage payment? Is it having sources of passive income that pay the bills whether you work or not ? Is it the ability to focus solely on what you want to do in life, as opposed to what you need to do?

If you’re Justin Donald, it’s all of the above.

He empowers people to stop thinking that money can only come from stress, toil, and time, and shares strategies and principles designed to create real, tangible passive cash flow streams.

If you value building, growing, and protecting your wealth, today’s episode is for you. Justin isn’t just sharing his philosophy when it comes to money, but real-world advice that you can immediately implement to improve your financial situation.

During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:

• How lifestyle investing uses money as a vehicle for freedom.
• The steps Justin took while working full-time to create passive income streams.

For every single one of us, 2020 was a year unlike any other in history. For many, it was arguably the most difficult year of their lives. For some, it was a great year. My question for all of us to consider is, what determines whether a year is good or bad? 

On last week’s podcast, I shared an unconventional approach to making 2021 your best year yet. I talked about why having a good year or a bad year has less to do with your results and more to do with how you choose to show up and experience each day. In other words, if you commit to show up at your best each day, regardless of your results, wouldn’t that be the recipe to creating your best year ever?

Well, this week, we’re focusing on more of the tangible side of things — the specific goals and measurable outcomes that you want to achieve in your life.

You’re going to hear how to apply the Miracle Equation to your life in 2021, in order to move your biggest goals from possible, to probable, to inevitable and to create results beyond what you’ve ever imagined possible.

Today, you’ll learn the 5-steps to Achieve Your Biggest Goals and Dreams:

• Step 1: Accept and Love Your Life Unconditionally
• Step 2: Redefine the Purpose of Your Goals
• Step 3: Maintain Unwavering Faith
• Step 4: Put Forth Extraordinary Effort
• Step 5: Maintain the Miracle Equation Until the Last Possible Moment

What a year 2020 has been for all of us. No one could have predicted what was to come, and while I’ve heard from people that this was either their best or worst year ever, almost all of us have faced unprecedented challenges, adversity, and even opportunities along the way.

As we leave this year behind, on today’s podcast I’m inviting you to consider entering into 2021 with an unconventional paradigm—that creating the best year of your life has less to do with what you accomplish (your results) or what happens to/for you (your circumstance), and everything to do with how you choose to show up and experience each day. 

I’m also going to give you some strategies that you can immediately begin implementing to make 2021 your best year yet.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why having a good year or a bad year has less to do with your results and more to do with how you show up every day.
• How a difficult year (see 2020) can give you everything you need to become the person that you need to be to create everything else you want in life. 
• How to get clarity and set goals in eight different areas.
• The value of unwavering faith and resilience. 
• The power of support and accountability networks - and how to find (or create) one.

This week, we’re exploring what happens when you live in a perpetual state of fear - and why you don’t have to. You’ll learn how fear can make you a better person, practices you can use to overcome emotional states that are holding you back, and what you can do to live a life of joy and gratitude.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why fear disappears when you actually encounter the things you were afraid of for so long. 
• Why you can’t just snap your fingers and get over your fears. 
• How to use two affirmations to replace fear with unwavering faith – even in the face of the things you fear the most.
