Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

In order for me to focus on my health (as I'm transitioning from chemotherapy to holistic treatments), I've recently had to make some very difficult decisions. On today's special *BONUS* episode of the podcast, I'm sharing the biggest decision I've recently made—a HUGE announcement—and (most importantly) the process by which you can more easily and effectively make major decisions in your life. As a fellow human being, you know how much energy it takes to make decisions, no matter how simple they are. But when you're facing a MAJOR decision—the kind that isn't black and white, where you might have multiple options, and where your actions could affect your life for months (or years) to come—making the right decision is often challenging. One of these decisions (which you'll hear about in this episode), means that the upcoming Best Year Ever [Blueprint] live experience (taking place this December 13-15th) will be the last time we ever offer this event. If you've ever wanted to join me in person at the Best Year Ever [Blueprint] live experience, taking place this December 13-15th, this will be your last chance. This is the last time we're offering the event, and it's nearly sold out. In case you're not familiar, BYEB is a weekend event that will enable you to take your SELF to the next level so that you can take your LIFE to the next level—because, as you know, it only happens in that order! :^) Every year, 400+ members of The Miracle Morning Community (from around the world) fly into San Diego, California and come together to connect and co-create our future, together. And I'd love for you to join us! Check out the brand new website at BestYearEverLive.com to get all the details and secure your spot for what is guaranteed to be another life-changing weekend for all of us. On to the actual podcast! This was pretty powerful.

At some point or another in our lives, we've probably been told that if we follow our passion, success will follow. However, if you're an entrepreneur, wantrepreneur, or have friends with struggling businesses, you can probably think of more than a handful of experiences that prove that saying wrong. Few understand this better than MJ DeMarco. He's the founder of The Fastlane Forum, a global business community featuring nearly 40,000 entrepreneurs, and Limos.com, a startup he built and grew into a profitable multimillion-dollar company with no money, no formal training, and only a few employees. He's also the international bestselling author of The Millionaire Fastlane, one of my favorite financial books of all time. However, before he became a self-made millionaire, he had to try, fail, and ultimately find a way to bring passion to a product that the market truly needed. In his new book, UNSCRIPTED: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship, he writes about how to build a business that leaves you feeling inspired and fulfilled in addition to paying the bills. Today, MJ joins the podcast to talk about why the established American narratives about creating wealth are complete garbage, how money can help you do what you love, and how to break free from the cycle of stress, debt, and frustration trapping so many of us in jobs - and businesses - that sap our passions.

If you're reading this, there's an 80+% chance that you're an entrepreneur or someone who's considering launching a business. However, whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a wantrepreneur, today's conversation with Cameron Herold is a must-listen. In addition to being my co-author for The Miracle Morning for Entrepreneurs, as well as the author of Double Double, Meetings Suck, and Free PR, Cameron is known around the world as the "business growth guru." He has helped hundreds of companies achieve exponential growth and is one of those rare individuals who knows how to present his extensive knowledge and experience in a clear and effective way. Today, Cameron joins the podcast to discuss his journey into entrepreneurship, why running a business is much more about who to do things with than how to do things, and why he can almost always identify an entrepreneur in a crowd - even if he's never met them before.

If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you've probably heard me say that it's not what you learn that really matters - it's what you live that ultimately impacts your life. Why? It's simple: if you don't apply what you've learned, it doesn't do you much good. However, the irony is that how you live begins with what you learn. We can only live a better life to the degree that we learn what exactly that looks like, and what it takes to live it. Few people know this better than Jonathan Levi, author of the new book, The Only Skill That Matters, which explores the reasons and methods surrounding learning and memory - and will teach you how to learn anything three times faster. Jonathan is a serial entrepreneur, author, and podcaster. Born and raised in Silicon Valley, he's the face of SuperHuman Academy and the author of Become a SuperLearner. Jonathan and I have known each other for over 20 years, and we recently reconnected when he had me on his SuperHuman Academy Podcast. Today, he joins the podcast to discuss the learning struggles he faced in his youth and the life-changing breakthrough he experienced, why improving your ability to learn is about much more than being able to impress people at parties, and actionable steps and processes you can take to live your learning.

When most people think of "intimacy" it's usually related to physical affection, sex, or romance. However, intimacy impacts a lot more than that—it's also crucial to effective parenting, entrepreneurship, and our relationships with ourselves. Few understand this better than intimacy expert Allana Pratt. She has served as a Guest Expert on The Jenny McCarthy Show, The Huffington Post, People, Forbes, CBS, TLC and FOX. She's also the author of (4) books, the host of the Intimate Conversations podcast, and a go-to authority with over 4 million viewers on YouTube, where she helps her followers create healthy, thriving relationships with themselves first in order to naturally attract their ideal match. Jon Berghoff and I met Allana at a couples' retreat, where she led several powerful experiences. I saw her enable people (including me and my wife) to quickly increase our self-awareness and discover deep and important things about ourselves, which is exactly what the Best Year Ever [Blueprint] live experience is all about where Allana will be one of our speakers this year. Today, Allana talks with Jon Berghoff about the exercises she'll be leading at our BYEB event in San Diego this December. You'll learn how to rediscover (and accept) your authentic self, see your blind spots, and make huge strides on your journey to becoming a compassionate badass.

Jeremy "Brotha James" Reisig isn't just one of my favorite people. He is a world-class musician unlike any other, making music to help elevate your consciousness, enhance your mindset, and improve your life. There are very few "conscious" musicians, and Brotha James was the first I'd ever heard. Jeremy is also a world-class facilitator. He's the Chief Energy Officer of Fambundance, where he works to elevate the consciousness of the world by elevating the consciousness of the family. He focuses on helping kids aged 8-18 with personal transformation, emotional management, aligning values, and more. I've had Jeremy as our musician in residence at every Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE event I've ever held, and we've even performed the Miracle Morning Song together onstage. However, this year, Jeremy will be leading a parallel event alongside ours for your children, and we couldn't be more excited for your whole family to attend. Today, Jeremy joins the podcast to talk about the importance of staying curious, how to build a business in alignment with your values and the life you want to live, and what we'll be doing together at this year's event.

If you practice The Miracle Morning (and specifically the S.A.V.E.R.S.), I think you're going to love today's *special* episode of the Achieve Your Goals podcast! Today, we're doing something a little different. Instead of our usual podcast format—where our guests talk about how they achieved their goals and how to get more done—I'm giving the floor over to my good friend and Chief Miracle Worker, Chip Franks, for a training and tutorial to help you get the most out of your Miracle Morning "Scribing" (aka "Journaling") practice. Among many things, Chip has one of the most effective Scribing practice I've ever seen. Though he goes through almost 250 pages in his journal every month, he rarely spends more than about 15 minutes a day scribing. He believes that it is the most important personal-development practice that exists and a powerful way to turn ideas into action. Chip also journals to deal with anxiety and overwhelm, have a conversation with himself, and become an objective third-party with himself when he needs it the most. Today, Chip joins the podcast to share 10 techniques to optimize your Scribing practice. I'd love to see you commit to giving the ones that make sense for you a try - and see how scribing can change your life for the better.

I've got some sad news, which you may have already heard. One of the most inspirational people I've ever met, Sean Stephenson – known around the world as the "3 Foot Giant" – passed away last week, after a wheelchair accident. Sean dedicated his life to helping people, and I was blessed to know him as a friend and mentor. Today it is my privilege to share some of his inspiration with you by giving you an opportunity to listen to the last interview that he and I did together. Because of a rare bone disorder, Sean was predicted not to survive at birth. In fact, he'd suffered over 200 fractures by the time he turned 18. However, Sean has survived, thrived, and lived a life that has inspired millions around the world. He's appeared on Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has online videos with 10+ million views, been the subject of a TV series for A&E called 3 Foot Giant, and published a book titled Get Off Your But: How to End Self-Sabotage.
