Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

Have you ever had a dream that you gave up on because you tried and it didn't work out right away? One of the biggest mistakes someone can make is assuming that failing once or twice is proof that they're not capable of achieving their goals. In most cases, we simply haven't given ourselves enough time to learn, grow, and become the person capable of making that dream a reality. Today, I'm joined by Stephanie Fisher, a mother of four and former civil engineer who completely reinvented herself as a full-time content creator. Just over a year ago, Stephanie was waking up at 4:00 AM, raising four young kids, working a full-time engineering job, and trying to build an audience on Instagram. After months of making virtually nothing from her content, her consistency eventually paid off, and she's now on track to earn 3X what she used to make as an engineer. In our conversation, Stephanie shares how she went from roughly 100 followers to building a successful business and creating more time and financial freedom for her family. We also talk about the pivotal moments that changed the trajectory of her life, the unexpected opportunity that came from losing her engineering job, and how pursuing her dream has allowed her to make a bigger impact while being more present with her family. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's never too late to reinvent yourself and pursue a dream. Any skill can be learned if you put in the reps. Focus on the actions that you can control, not the results. Give yourself enough time to become great at something How Stephanie's discipline helped adapt her morning routine. Consistency matters even when you're not seeing immediate results. How to use other people's success to keep yourself motivated. The importance of self-care when life feels overwhelming.

One thing I've learned in life is that achieving your biggest goals rarely happens exactly the way you think it will. Things go wrong. Plans fall apart. You get knocked down, and sometimes you have to start all over again. But just because the path changes doesn't mean you have to give up on the vision. And today's guests have gone through all of that and ultimately built what my wife and I consider sacred ground—a place that has taken our marriage and relationship to a whole new level. Today, I'm joined by Seth and Tori Bolt, the husband-and-wife team behind Bolt Farm Treehouse. Seth spent 23 years as a founding member of the Grammy-nominated band NEEDTOBREATHE before stepping away to start a family and focus on the business he and Tori built together. What started as a treehouse Seth built with his dad for their honeymoon eventually became an 11-year entrepreneurial journey filled with incredible highs and several brutal setbacks. Despite all of the challenges, they now have a world-renowned mountaintop destination designed to help couples recharge, reconnect and deepen their love for each other. In our conversation, Seth and Tori share their incredible journey building Bolt Farm Treehouse, along with the setbacks and sacrifices they faced along the way. We also talk about staying grounded through seasons of uncertainty, creating unbelievable experiences that bring people closer together, and the lessons they've learned from more than a decade of pursuing their dream. KEY TAKEAWAYS How Bolt Farm Treehouse helps couples reconnect with each other Staying laser focused is essential to achieving your biggest goals How to keep going when your original plan falls apart Building in public with authenticity helps people connect with your journey Be at peace by saying no to opportunities that distract from your mission How the Miracle Morning helped Seth and Tori persevere Learn from mentors instead of figuring everything out yourself How delaying gratification leads to achieving bigger goals Finding purpose and opportunity in your greatest adversity Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/653 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Nobody achieves anything meaningful alone. Yet, we're led to believe that success means being "self-made." The truth is, the relationships you surround yourself with can either keep you where you are or help bridge the gap between where you are today and the person that you aspire to become. Today, I'm joined by my good friend Jayson Gaignard, author of Community Made: The Truth About Success and the Relationships That Create It and founder of Mastermind Talks. When Jayson got married, he had only two people at his bachelor party: his brother and brother-in-law. But today, he's created an extraordinary network of entrepreneurs and leaders and just recently sold 20,000 copies of his book on Kickstarter, despite having roughly 2,500 Instagram followers. In our conversation, Jayson shares three simple questions to help you intentionally decide who belongs in your life and why generosity is the foundation of meaningful relationships. He also explains why asking someone "How can I help you?" doesn't actually help the person you want to help, how to make people feel genuinely seen, and how you can build relationships with extraordinary people even if you don't have money, status, influence, or an existing network. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Nobody Is Truly Self-Made How To Intentionally Design Your Peer Group Three Questions For Choosing The Right Relationships Generosity Is The Foundation Of Meaningful Relationships Six Ways To Make People Feel Genuinely Seen Why Gratitude Gains Power Through Witness Deepen Relationships By Showing Up When It Matters How To Build A Network Without Money Or Status One Cold Email Can Open Life-Changing Doors Use Service To Get Into The Right Rooms Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/652 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

Losing the wrong kind of weight can leave you weaker, slow your metabolism, and make it easier to regain fat. So why does metabolism seem to slow as we get older? Why can dieting repeatedly make the problem worse? Is cardio actually helping you lose body fat? And what are GLP-1 medications really doing to your muscle? JJ also explains why the number on your scale may be one of the least useful ways to measure your progress, and what you should be paying attention to instead..

What would you do if you were told you were diagnosed with cancer and had only 4 to 6 months to live? That's exactly what happened to today's guest. Two and a half years ago, Mark Allen Ruegg was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver and lymph nodes. His doctors hoped chemotherapy could stabilize the cancer and give him more time, but Mark wasn't willing to accept that as the best possible outcome. He wanted to do everything in his power to beat the odds. After discovering the documentary Heal, Mark began taking an integrative approach that combined conventional treatment with major changes to his diet, meditation, spirituality, exercise, stress, and mindset. Within months, his scans showed no evidence of cancer, and even his doctor was stunned when he could no longer find the tumor in Mark's pancreas. But Mark's story didn't end there. Three months ago, a tumor was discovered in his pancreas again. The fears and unknowns came back with a vengeance, sending him into what he describes as a deep, dark place. In our conversation, Mark shares how that recurrence forced him to confront his fear, return to the fundamentals of his Healing Recipe, and recognize the missing ingredient he needed most: unwavering faith. We talked about why healing doesn't have to be an either/or choice between conventional and holistic medicine, what it means to surrender without giving up, and how the combination of unwavering faith and extraordinary effort can help you navigate even the most difficult moments of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why Mark refused to accept a terminal prognosis Combining conventional treatment with an integrative approach The lifestyle changes Mark made after his diagnosis How Mark's cancer disappeared after his initial diagnosis Why Mark believes fear became his greatest challenge What happened when Mark's cancer returned Unwavering faith and extraordinary effort leads to results How to get Mark's Healing Recipe of seven ingredients The journey to becoming someone who fears less Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/650 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.
