Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

04/13/22 • 36 min

5.0

If you’ve ever wanted to write a book, whether that’s to increase your income, to positively impact people’s lives, grow your business, or leave a legacy—even if you aren’t sure what to write about or don’t consider yourself to be a good writer—you won’t want to miss today’s podcast!

You may have heard me say this before, but writing and self-publishing a book (The Miracle Morning) was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. (My wife agrees!) It increased both my impact and our income, providing financial security for my family and enabling me to help millions of people around the world with my message. I believe that if I can do it, so can you.

On today’s podcast I’m joined by my dear friend, 7-time bestselling author and founder of Self-Publishing School, Chandler Bolt, to talk about WHY and HOW you can go from blank page to published author in as little as 90 days (writing for only 30 minutes per day).

In this conversation, you’ll learn why publishing a book can change your life, how to apply your Miracle Morning to write your very first book, and why your current Miracle Morning practice gives you an incredible head start with what can be a daunting process. (Note: I wrote The Miracle Morning during my Miracle Mornings!)

ANNOUNCEMENT *

Before you listen to today's episode, I have an exciting announcement to share with you. Next week, I’ll be co-hosting a live online masterclass (at no cost to you) with Chandler Bolt. This live masterclass is for aspiring authors who want to write a book and want a step-by-step roadmap to get it done in as little as 90 days!

The live training is on April 19th at 12 PM EST. You can reserve your spot right now by visiting Self-PublishingSchool.com/Hal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why you (yes, YOU) should write a book.
How to determine what your book should be about—especially if you feel like you have too many ideas (or none at all).
How becoming an author helps you to become an authority in your field.
How to think about marketing and launching your first book.
Why a book is the best business card you can share with prospects as you start or grow a business.

422: Moving From Mediocrity to Mastery

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

03/23/22 • 34 min

5.0

From time to time, we all tend to settle for less than we truly want and are capable of, at least in some areas of our life. Today we’re going to explore how to identify which areas you’re settling in, what’s causing you to settle, and then commit to taking simple actions that will move you forward and set a course for a Level 10 life. About six months ago, as I was journaling, I realized that I was settling for mediocrity in some of the most important areas of my life. I assessed my health, my finances, my marriage, my role as a parent, and my happiness. I felt like I was just going through the motions and stuck in a rut. So, I asked myself, “Where am I?” “Why am I settling for less?” and “What can I do to immediately move me from mediocrity to mastery in the most important areas of my life?”

Today, I’m sharing a very vulnerable entry from my own journal, revealing my self-coaching process, and inviting you to improve your own life. Be prepared not just to listen and take notes, but to take action.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why calling yourself or someone else mediocre isn’t judgmental.
How and why I rated myself at different levels across my life in my assessment.
Questions you can ask yourself and tools you can use to assess where you’re excelling and where you may be mediocre.
How I took my performance from mediocre to masterful in my past.
The powerful affirmation you can use to chart a course to mastery right now.

426: The GAP and the GAIN with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

04/20/22 • 45 min

Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an “ideal,” a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we’re in “the GAP.” However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we’re in “the GAIN.”

Today’s guest, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, is one of my all-time favorite authors. In his new book, The GAP and the GAIN: The High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success, he delivers a masterclass on positive psychology, healthy relationships, mental well-being, and high-performance. He explores why unsuccessful, unhappy people focus on “the GAP,” but successful, happy people focus on “the GAIN.”

In this conversation, Benjamin makes his third appearance on the podcast to talk about how to stop focusing on the GAP and turn your biggest hurdles into massive gains, and what you can do to stay in the GAIN each and every day.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why associating our emotional well-being with targets that are out of reach sets us up to be chronically unhappy.
Why you don’t need to make millions of dollars to be in the GAIN.
How to reframe a situation to shift your focus and emphasize the positive.
Why focusing on the GAIN is not the same thing as dismissing pain or disappointment.
Why we’re always moving beyond our former selves–and life as a whole takes on whatever meaning you give to it.
And much more...

421: How Changing Your Perspective Changes Everything

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

03/16/22 • 37 min

What if you could be completely in control of what you think, how you feel, and what you do? I mean, wouldn’t that kind of be the ultimate superpower!?

Consider that you do have that power. When you change your perspective, it changes the way you think, the way you feel, and the actions you take, which enables you to change your life. Thus, the key to changing your life begins with changing your perspective.

If you spend your time focused on your perceived inadequacies or things that upset you, it affects how you feel, how you treat yourself, and how you show up every day. This is especially true when you are facing stressful times.

On the other hand, when you consciously optimize your perspective, you optimize your life, and you give yourself the power to show up optimally for yourself, for the people you love, and for humanity.

Today’s episode is all about how to choose the perspectives that will empower you to be at your best, even when faced with hard times, misfortune, and challenges. You’ll learn how to stop negative emotions from controlling how your brain and body feel, the value of focusing on positivity even as you endure difficulty, and how to see the gift and the beauty inherent to every struggle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why perspective makes all the difference when we’re facing adversity.
Why negative emotions are valuable—and how to feel them in a useful, productive way.
How to choose a perspective that empowers you no matter what.
What I do when I find myself stressed out or frustrated about something beyond my control.
Why you have a 100% success rate of surviving everything you will ever face.

423: What You've Never Been Told About Meditation

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

03/30/22 • 30 min

If you’re someone who meditates, your practice probably entails taking 10-20 minutes out of your busy day to sit in silence.

Does that time give you a sense of peace, calm, and clarity? Most likely—for those 20 minutes.

But what happens when you end your meditation? Do you continue to go through your day with those same levels of peace, calm, and clarity? Or do you become reactive to the outside forces and succumb to your inner turmoil?

“Meditation will get you nowhere. Meditativeness will give you the keys to your inner kingdom. The unserious man puts in his obligatory 20 minutes of meditation, in order to fulfill his daily quota, but the one who is truly serious transforms every single thing that he does into a meditation. In short, he becomes meditative.” —Kapil Gupta

In today’s episode, I’m excited to start by reading a short chapter from the book, Atmamun: The Path to Achieving the Bliss of the Himalayan Swamis and the Freedom of a Living God, written by Kapil Gupta, MD, and then sharing how I implement it, including asking a simple but powerful question that you can begin using immediately.

You’ll learn how to reframe your world, approach every moment of your life in a meditative state—and discover how it feels to live in a heightened state of being and awareness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why meditating to fulfill a daily quota doesn’t permanently eliminate stressors.
What meditation is really about and why it doesn’t work for the overwhelming majority of people who practice it.
How emotional optimization meditation works and why it’s one of my favorite forms of meditation.
The question my former coach asked me that unlocked the door to inner freedom.
How approaching everything from a meditative state brings joy to everything you do.

413: How to Elevate Your Consciousness with Music

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

01/19/22 • 49 min

I used to listen to music just for the sound. If I loved the beat, someone’s voice, or a rhythm, that’s all I needed. But over the last five years, I’ve started to care just as much about lyrics as the melodies—and it’s made me much more grateful for the powerful messaging in conscious music.

My guest today is Rob Riccardo, who is literally one of my favorite musicians of all time! His lyrics uplift and inspire me. They have the power to elevate my consciousness and have helped me through life’s most difficult moments, including my struggles with depression.

Rob is a deep, thoughtful, and enlightened individual. It was fascinating to get to talk with him, hear his journey, and learn more about the way he’s approached music and life—especially as he’s navigated the pandemic over the last two years.

You’re going to walk away from this episode with a refreshed mindset around living in the present moment and accepting happiness into your life—even if reality is different than what you imagined!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Rob shares his creative process and where the inspiration for his uplifting songs come from.
Why we all have so much more in common than we think we do.
How Rob rediscovered his love for music, after not playing for 5-years straight.
How to silence the voice in your head that tells you that your creative work isn’t good enough and find the confidence to share your message.
Why the fantasy we imagine is almost always better than the reality when we arrive—and why nothing beats the present moment!
If you can’t learn to be happy with what you have now, what makes you think that you’ll know how to be happy with what you think you want in the future?
When we focus on things that are out of our control, we feel out of control. Find out what to do instead!
The power of setting goals without getting attached to the results.
How to navigate the challenges in your life with curiosity and an ever-shifting mindset.

Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

12/29/21 • 48 min

5.0

I don’t know about you, but I’m much more effective when I keep things simple (and easy to remember). :^)

In 2022, I’m using a 3-letter strategy to guide me. These three letters are something I can remember every day and serve as my North Star to handle any challenges I’m faced with and continue making progress toward my most important goals. Like the S.A.V.E.R.S, these three letters are easy to remember, stick to, and implement every single day.

Today, I’m excited to start by giving you an overview of what we discussed in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this series. I then let you in on my 3-letter strategy to achieve success in 2022 and beyond!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why it doesn’t make sense to measure your emotional well-being based on what’s out of your control.
The A-B-C Formula for Making Success Simple in 2022
Why resistance is the source of all emotional pain, how acceptance serves as the antidote, and why this is not the same thing as resignation.
The many forms of gratitude–and how to stay grateful, even in the face of adversity.
Four simple steps you can take to make daily progress toward your goals–and why none of these goals need to be monumental to make a difference.

11/29/21 • 52 min

How do you go from doing work that makes you money to doing work that fulfills you—and could even be called your dream job?

To help you answer this question I’m speaking with Ken Coleman. Ken is a career expert, as well as the host of The Ken Coleman Show, where he helps people discover not just what they were born to do, but how to turn their dream career into a reality. He explores this even further in his new book, Paycheck to Purpose, which I’m reading right now.

Today, Ken returns to the podcast to talk about how to love your craft, make a unique contribution to the world that only you can make, and his step-by-step process for bringing your work into alignment with your passion and mission.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why the concept of a “dream job” has become such a cliche—and how bad jobs and our cynicism toward the idea of work hold us back.
Why there are more jobs, career paths, and dream jobs in the “sweet spot” than you probably think—and the connection between dream jobs and entrepreneurship.
The four major questions you can ask to make a plan to transform your career.
