Hal Elrod is an internationally acclaimed keynote speaker, thought leader, and author of The Miracle Morning, a best-seller which has been translated into 27 languages and is one of the world’s most highly rated books. He has written ten books comprising The Miracle Morning series, and also serves as host of the Achieve Your Goals podcast, creator of the Best Year Ever Blueprint Live Experience and Executive Producer of The Miracle Morning Movie. Additionally, Hal leads a community of people in over 70 countries who practice The Miracle Morning and is on a mission to elevate human consciousness through a new approach to mornings.
Hal joins me today to discuss the power of The Miracle Morning and how it has up-leveled the lives of people around the world by laying the groundwork for more intentional, purpose-driven days. He shares the importance of choosing a mindset of gratitude, even when facing adversity, and what it takes to truly enact change in our lives. Hal also highlights how our alarm clocks can represent either the day’s first gift or the day’s first challenge and how small actions can be catalysts for large-scale change.
“If you win the morning, you put yourself in a peak position to win the rest of the day.” – Hal Elrod
