I was a workaholic, and I was in denial. Thankfully, Jon Vroman started Front Row Dads—a community for family men with businesses, not businessmen with families. Without exaggerating, my involvement with Front Row Dads has become the biggest factor contributing to my progress in becoming a better husband and father.

Or do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled and wishing you were doing something else? A global poll conducted by Gallup sheds a disturbing light on this topic: “With only 21% of employees engaged at work and 33% of employees thriving in their overall wellbeing, most would say that they don't find their work meaningful, don't think their lives are going well or don't feel hopeful about their future.” According to that same report, stress among workers is also at an all-time high.

If you answered “yes” (and I’m assuming you did), do you have a process, a formula, or a system in place that enables you to intentionally and consistently create breakthroughs?

Would the answer be clearly defined, and do your day-to-day actions align with what you say is most important to you? It seems that far too many of us don't really think about this, as we’re focused on just getting through another day. Or, there's a massive disconnect between what we say and what we do. And BTW, I've definitely fallen into that trap myself. I remember a time when I said family was one of my top pr...2022-05-2553 minAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodThe Contradiction of FreedomOuter freedom gives you the ability to create the circumstances that you want for your life. Inner freedom allows you to enjoy your life, regardless of the circumstances. These concepts exist in an inherent conflict with one another. When we pursue outer freedom, there’s a part of us that feels like our life could be better, and when we focus on our inner freedom, part of us celebrates the fact that life’s perfect, exactly as it is. So, how do we address that contradiction? In today’s episode, I want to show you how to...2022-05-1846 minAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodHow to Stop Worrying What Other People Think of YouMost of us don’t like to admit that we worry about what other people think of us, but it’s definitely something I’ve struggled with. Have you ever stopped to consider the impact that worrying what others think has on you, such as causing stress, perpetuating insecurity, and hurting your self-confidence? How nice would it be to go through life without being deterred by anyone else’s opinion of you? In today’s episode, we’re exploring the problems with worrying what others think and I’m giving you three (3) powerful cures to overc...2022-05-1134 minAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodHarnessing the Power of NatureHow much time do you spend in nature compared to how much time you spend indoors, staring at a screen?

How do you go from unconsciously allowing outside forces to determine your emotional state to consciously choosing which emotion best serves you in any given moment or situation? For over 20 years, this has been an area of focus for me. I’ve learned how to accept what I can’t change, to experience painful emotions in a state of peace and extract maximum value from them, and move on as soon as it makes sense to do so.

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-performan...2022-04-2045 minAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodHow To Use Your Miracle Morning to Write a Book with Chandler BoltIf 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!)

Riding his bike in New Mexico, he was hit head on by an SUV traveling 40 miles per hour and left crippled on the side of the road.  “I remember the sound of me hitting his grill… the thud I made as I crashed onto the asphalt below, and the screech of his brakes.” Wanting to make the best of the situation, Michael promised himself that if he survived, he’d stop trying to chase happiness and begin truly enjoying every day—a profound lesson we can all learn f...2022-04-0651 minAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodWhat You've Never Been Told About MeditationIf 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.

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 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.

Today’s episode is designed to empower you from the perspective that it only takes ONE person to transform a relationship,  a concept that I first learned from Stacey & Paul Martino, co-authors of The Miracle Morning for Transforming Your Relationship. In other words, the key to having a successful relationship has much less to do with the other person, and almost everything to do with how you choose to perceive and treat the...2022-03-0241 minAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodAchieve Your Goals with Hal ElrodA Different Way to Optimize Your Mornings with Radha AgrawalAre you familiar with Daybreaker? Seven years ago, my friend Brianna Greenspan asked me if I was familiar with it (which I wasn’t). She said, “It’s amazing! It’s like a LIVE Miracle Morning!” and she described it as a 3-hour experiential event that combines a high energy dance party with meditation, yoga, affirmations, and more. Needless to say, I was intrigued! :^) So, I reached out to the founder and CEO, Radha Agrawal, in the hopes that we might explore ways in which we could collaborate.

As a society, many of us struggle with our fears of the future and the unknown, as well as our tendencies to judge other people, and people are divided. To make matters worse, our media and our government perpetuate these divisions, which engenders and intensifies conflict among us. This is what makes the Miracle Morning Mission—to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one morning at a time—so important.

It could be drugs, food, social media, work habits, exercise, yelling, destructive thought patterns, or something else. Whatever it is, we are all prone to becoming addicted to things that don't serve us.   This has never been more true than it is right now.

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.

If you haven’t heard Part 1 or Part 2, I definitely recommend that you go back and listen. In today’s episode, I introduce you to what I call “inverted goals.” Unlike a traditional goal which focuses on a predetermined outcome (e.g., I want to lose 10lbs), an inverted goal focuses on a predetermined process (e.g., exercise 5 days per week).

We broke that into two aspects: Your MINDSET and your BEHAVIORS. Today's episode is about "Getting Your Mind Right" or more formally "Optimizing Your Mindset" for 2022, which is both crucial and precedes everything else—setting your goals, making plans for the new year, and following through.

The media is constantly pushing narratives that categorize people into groups, fostering animosity and even hate towards those who have different beliefs and opinions than we do.  When we focus on our differences, we feel disconnected from one another. It not only hurts us as individuals, but collectively as a society. When we choose to see each other from the perspective of our similarities, our commonalities, and our sameness, we feel connected.
