#1 Bestselling Author of “The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)” Hal Elrod has managed to take this one book and build a business, following, and movement around it. He now has an entire “Miracle Morning” series and has had crazy success as a coach and speaker. Hal is also a good friend of mine who happens to live in San Diego. His book has had an amazing impact on my life as I have been consistently applying the principles. His book is not only life changing, but his story is incredible too. When Hal was 20 years old he was in a car accident where he was hit head-on by a drunk driver. He actually died for 6 minutes and ended up with 11 broken bones and was in a coma for 6 days. He was told that he would never walk again. He went on to not only walk but run a 52-mile ultra marathon. He was also prompted by his doctors to write a book about his experience. The beginning profits of his first book “Taking Life Head On! (The Hal Elrod Story): How To Love The Life You Have While You Create The Life of Your Dreams” were stolen by his first publisher. Hal bounced back again and went on to he create the life-changing “Miracle Morning” book, community, and business. Today we discuss Hal’s book and how he built a business around it.   You can find Hal here: Miracle Morning Website Miracle Morning Facebook Community Hal’s Miracle Morning Books Hal Elrod Website Hal on Twitter @HalElrod   Show Notes [03:05] Hal's first book was actually “Taking Life Head On”. He was so happy and positive in the hospital that the doctors suggested he write a book. It took 6 years because he thought he wasn't a writer. [05:23] Hal used a small Mom and Pop publisher for his 1st book “Taking Life Head On”, it even made it to number 6 on Amazon. He'll never know how much profit this book made to get to number 6 because his "publisher" left town and disappeared with all of his royalties. [05:56] The difference between writing a good book and a book that creates income and impact. [07:58] Looking at people from a place of non-judgement. Feeling sorry for people who wrong us rather than being angry. [08:51] Biggest takeaway: everyone should write a book. [10:43] Books are the new "business cards". [11:50] Our story, our struggles, and our strategies. We all can write about these three things. [13:16] The Miracle Morning was Hal's story, struggle, and strategy. [14:24] Miracle Morning took 4 years because of lack of clarity and other issues. [15:30] Hal hired a coach because he knows the power of accountability. [16:16] Having accountability, and the book was finished in 4 months. [18:42] To market his Miracle Morning book Hal created a launch team. He also put up an opt-in page with the first two chapters offered for free. He also made an audio opt-in which ran for two years while he wrote the book. [21:13] An email list is income on demand. [22:46] Have an audience ready months in advance before your book goes live. [23:48] The launch team reviewed the book and shared on social. [27:46] Hal had an assistant create a graph of how many books were sold. His biggest sales month was December 2014. It was nice watching the graph curve up. [30:52] Hal is working on Beyond the Bestseller. Writing a good book is the most important component. Change someone's daily behavior, and you create a movement. Build word of mouth into your book the book needs a story to share. [34:08] Get an accountability partner, don't go it alone. [37:55] Creating rituals around your content. 3 practices you do every day. [39:48] Podcast interviews really drive sales. [41:15] Hal is self-published and sells lots of books. His speaking fees have gone up and he has more opportunities. [47:27] Podcasts are great for promoting books. [48:38] Add value over and over, then ask when needed. [55:38] After writing a book the real work of marketing begins.   Links and Resources: self-publishingschool.com Spsfreetraining.com How to Launch a Bestselling Book by Michael Hyatt Your Podcast Guru Miracle Morning Website Miracle Morning Facebook Community Hal’s Miracle Morning Books Hal Elrod Website Hal on Twitter @HalElrod

"Hal Elrod is living proof that all of us are capable of creating miracles in our own lives.  His inspirational message, loaded with examples of Hal's never-say-die attitude and winning strategies, will empower anyone to make the most of his or her life." --Bud Gardner, co-author, Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul Hal got his start inspiring and entertaining people at age 15 as a radio show host where he was given the hip moniker, "Yo Pal" Hal. At age 20, Hal's life was almost ended when, traveling at over 70 miles per hour, Hal was struck head on by a drunken driver and found dead on the scene.  Hal’s heart stopped beating for 6 minutes, he fractured 13 bones, suffered severe brain damage, and spent 6 long days in a coma, awakening to the devastating news that he might never walk again. Never one to accept limitations set by others, Hal astounded the medical community when he miraculously took his first step only three weeks later and was released from the hospital less than two months after the night of the crash. Hal got back to work that same year to sell over $100,000 of kitchen products door-to-door and became one of the youngest members ever inducted into the company's Hall of Fame. Now at 27, Hal is a bestselling author, motivational speaker, and CEO of Global Empowerment Coaching. Hal is truly taking life head on with his autobiography by the same name, Taking Life Head On! (The Hal Elrod Story), which published last year and is inspiring thousands of people throughout the world, already reaching #7 on Amazon’s bestseller list. Hal's story is amazing, his youthful energy, humor, and unique principles for experiencing more joy and fulfillment in your life offer a fresh perspective for your viewing audience. [03:22] – Can you share the story of what happened and what you did to overcome it? [04:00] - I was involved in an accident.  Broke 11 bones.  Immediately in a coma from that impact. [04:24] - When I woke up – why am I in pain and everything hurts? [04:33] - Unimaginable reality.  I may never walk again. [05:04] - How am I going to respond to this?  Either negatively or positively. [05:29] - The source of all our emotional pain and suffering is resistance.  Fortunately, I learned this from my mentor a year and a half before the car accident. [06:27] - I can either be down about it or be the most grateful in my entire life. [06:39] - I am waking up every day, what more do I need to be happy? [07:56] - Three weeks later, the doctor came in with the x-ray report and said “we can’t explain this but your body is healing so fast”. [08:21] - Dedicated my life, my second chance to fulfilling my potential the way that I could for the purpose of helping others. [09:10] - How did you make the transition from a corporate job to being an entrepreneur? [09:50] - I was in sales (not exactly a 9 to 5 job), there was freedom.  I was paid on commission. [10:32] - I saved up $20,000 and started dedicating my evenings and weekends to my entrepreneur journey.  [11:52] - I decided I wanted to become a coach. [13:00] - Started by giving away discounts.  Launched my coaching business and focused full time. [13:48] - My first client was a forty year old finance adviser and I joined him in his Business Networking International (BNI) group.  [14:21] - The President the BNI group was impressed by what I have accomplished at 25 and hired me to be his coach! [17:04] - How it evolved into this concept of Miracle Morning and what it really is (you wrote a book on it and you have a series on it)? [17:40] - It was not an idea for a book.  The economy crashed and I lost half of my clients because they can’t afford to pay me. [19:10] - I went for a morning run to get me into a peak state every morning. [19:14] - I listened to Jim Rohn’s audio – “your level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development”.  Those words at those moments hit me. [20:17] - I searched online for the best personal development practice known.  The breakthrough was when I did all the 6 most powerful, timeless and proven development practices.  [21:00] - That morning my entire life changed. In less than 2 months, I more than doubled my income beyond where it was at the height before the (economy) crash. [22:39] - By 2009, Miracle Morning was universal and can work for anyone and 7 years later, hundreds of thousands of people around the world were doing Miracle Morning every day, with the book translated to 24 different languages. [25:07] - It’s changing so many lives and I will keep promoting it.   3 KEY POINTS: Choose to be happy. You don’t need to have everything figured out like a 5-year plan – just start! Embrace your failures (whether big or small), you learn, you adjust and you correct.   Social Media www.miraclemorning.com The Miracle Morning book is available on Amazon and Kindle.
