Welcome to Eventual Millionaire. I am Jaime Masters and we have my dear, dear friend Hal Elrod back on the show. He wrote the infamous book called the Miracle Morning that has sold millions of copies. Plus he's coming out with a brand new book. You can go check it out@themiracleequation.com and there's all sorts of bonuses and craziness that comes along with it. Thank you so much for coming on the show today, Jamie.
I just. Thank you for having me. And I just. I love you. So we went down to dinner a few. Right. A couple weeks ago. Like, I just love hanging out with you. So. So I'm like, this is just me hanging out and hopefully giving a bunch of value for people watching us hang out with you.
Yay. And when I say dear friend, we actually hang out. We actually have a family friend. Not a fake one, you know, online friend. No, we live really close. Tell me more about the miracle equation. Because I heard about the Miracle morning, everybody. You tried to get me to do it. I did it. I liked it. It was annoying at first, but the miracle equation is sort of a separate subsection, actually. I want to read what the thing is. Two decisions to move your biggest goals from possible to probable to inevitable. So good. So what are the two decisions? I really want to know what they are, so.
Well, I'll first, I'll preface it with this. So the Miracle Morning is a daily practice for personal development. And it's based on the. Really a Jim Rohn philosophy, which is that our level of success will always kind of parallel our level of personal development. Right. If you want level 10 success, you've got to develop yourself into a level 10 person in terms of your mindset, your beliefs, your skills, your habits, your knowledge. Right. And as you grow yourself, your ability to create extraordinary results. Right. Parallels right along with you. So that was the foundation. And the Miracle Morning has, as you mentioned, I mean, there's over a million people a day practice it around the world. Well, I kind of realized that we've all been, or not all, but many of us, myself included, are guilty of what I call being a personal development junkie. And here's I'm going to say something that will offend some people. In fact, I've had some people that are Miracle Morning fans get, like, defensive and angry when I say this. But personal development deludes us into thinking that we're making progress when that's not always the case. What. And the reason is this, right? You can be the most personally developed person on the Planet. And you can read books and go to how to change your life lectures and do online courses, right? And on and on and on. But all that knowledge, it tricks us into thinking, oh, yeah, I'm getting smarter, I'm getting better, I'm getting. But that doesn't mean that you're gonna actually translate that knowledge into action. That's gonna move you closer to your goals and dreams. And I think so many of us get guilty of thinking, you know, we read book after book after book, but when we're done reading a book, we don't actually do anything with what's in it, except for be like, oh, this is great. This is like, this is gonna change my life. But wait, I got another book on my shelf. I gotta start this one. All we do after we finish a book is read another book, right? So basically, here's the way to frame it is the miracle morning is your daily practice for personal development. The miracle equation is the process for goal achievement. Like, that's how you go from I'm getting better in here and here and here and here and here to I want to see the bank account balance actually grow. Oh, I need the. That's the miracle equation. Okay. I want to see, like, my. My weight actually my. Get thinner. I want to. I want to see results, not just learn a bunch of shit and not do anything with it. And so that's where I saw the need to move it to, you know, from just personal development to. You've got to have a process for actually making the things you're focusing on in the morning real tangible results in your life. So that's the premise. And then I can jump into the two decisions if you want.
Oh, no. I just so appreciate you saying this because knowledge and wisdom, you all have heard that sort of quote. Two different things. Seeing the results is what people are doing. And we're spending so much time not actually on the implementation side of anything, but we're really smart, and that's what we think works. Unfortunately, in this day and age of too much information. Right, so tell me how you can actually make it tangible for people. What are those two decisions?
So, yeah, so the two decisions are. They are deceptively simple in explanation, but really rare in execution. Right? So like, when I say if I were to tell you the two decisions, and then we were to be like, great, see you later, you would be like, I got no value. I don't know what to do. That does nothing for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So the first decision is you have to develop Unwavering faith. The second decision is you have to maintain extraordinary effort and you have to make these two decisions over and over and over and over again over an extended period of time. And that is where you literally take your. The most grand vision you have for your life, your business, your goals, your dreams, and you move them along the spectrum day by day by day from possible, which. Anything's possible. Who cares what's possible? We don't. We don't. We don't pursue what's possible. We pursue what's probable. Like, we need a likelihood. I'm not going to. Just how often do we pursue a goal that you're like, probably no chance that'll happen. But I'm going to go for it. But. But the world's most successful people, they actually do that. They actually go. You know what Elon Musk is like? Well, electric cars, that's like not a real thing. But I'm going to step out on faith that I believe that it could be a real thing. I'm going to maintain that faith and keep moving in the direction of it being a real thing. I'll put forth extraordinary effort, which we're going to make it ordinary here in a second because the more ordinary it feels, the better. Right, but. And then you put forth extraordinary effort. And then there's an operative word here. Until circle, until, underline it three times. Right. And it's like that. Most of us give up. You know, we're like, oh, I'm going to do it. And then we try, and then it doesn't go as planned. And then we're like, never mind. I'm going to go back to the way things were because if I show up to my job every day and get a check, I know it'll pay the bills. And that's enough for me because I'm scared of more.
So. Yeah. So extraordinary effort. No, let me. I'll pause and give me thoughts.
No, no, I absolutely adore this. I found in all the millionaire interviews that I've done, it's the commitment to the result that matters more than the how of anything. And so what you're saying is until, like, you just keep doing the. Doing the two decisions until you reach it, because you definitely will. Like, that's where the. The probable to inevitable.
Yeah, like, here's. Here's an example. Let's say you want to be a millionaire. Any sound familiar? Does that resonate here? Let's say you want to be a millionaire. And I told. I forgot who I was talking to the day but we were talking about this, and I said, oh, I was in Brazil doing a media thing and I have a new mural. Anyway, so she was asking me a question about this. I said, listen to how simple this is. And that's the thing about success, right? Is it. Is. What do they say? It's simple but not easy. And it's simple but not easy. So I said, let's say you want to be a millionaire. I go, let me give you two steps that will guarantee you will eventually become a millionaire, right? I was plugging your podcast all over.
I said, step one, learn from people that have become wealthy that. That are teaching you, whether in their book or whatever, how to do it, right? Not by staring at a vision board, but, like, tactically how to do it. And that was something so important for me in this book is I'm like, this will not be woo at all. Like, the title's kind of woo woo. The subtitles, a little woo woo. You know, the. Right. And so. But it's like, how do we make this so practical, tangible, and actionable that people don't walk away feeling good and being like, I'm gonna make a vision board, but, oh, I'm gonna do this. Then this. Like, it's step by step. So anyway, but step one is learn from people that have generated wealth, right? They've created wealth. And step two is schedule an hour a day to do one thing to do the things you're learning in the book, and each day, do one thing to move in the direction and then don't stop. That's it. That's it. And guess what? You eventually become a millionaire. You can't fail. It might take. You might want to do it in a year, and it takes you four or it takes you 10. But when you finally get to the place that you've been working so hard for so long, you never wish it would happen any sooner, you're like, oh, it was supposed to take 10 years. It was. That journey was. I had to go through all that. I had to go through that bankruptcy. I had to go right. You see the perfection in the journey.
And it's so hard to see when you're in it versus later when you look back, it is right.
It is. And that's part of what I talk about in the book with unwavering faith, is I go, look, I said it. Like, if you take the world's greatest athletes, like, for me, who, growing up, did you have, like, a favorite athlete? Like, did you. Anybody like Michael, ufc.
Anyway, nice.
So Michael Jordan When I was a kid, you know, and I think for like, everyone in my generation, every young man like Michael Jordan was the epitome of the champion, right? You know, most famous athlete in the world. So Michael Jordan, I believe. And if you. If you study the world's most successful people in any. In any walk of life, right? CEOs, millionaires, athletes, whatever, and we're using an athlete as an example, with Jordan, you find that these are the two fundamental decisions that are responsible for their success. So with that first decision, unwavering faith. You take a Michael Jordan, he made a decision, and it may be uncon. It may have been an unconscious decision at some point in his life, in his. In his basketball career that he could make, that he would. Sorry, he would make every shot that he ever took. Now let me ask you, Jamie, does any player ever has. No one's ever made any shot, right? Like, no, the average. The best players in the world make about 50%. That means you miss just as many as you make, right? But here's the deal. Even though the possibility of making every shot that Michael Jordan took was not real, it wasn't possible, it was impossible. It didn't change that he had unwavering faith every time the ball hit his hands that he was going to make the shot that he took. And if he missed that shot, most people, we. And that's why these decisions are so counter to our human nature. When you miss a shot, and when I say miss a shot, like that's a metaphor for miss any expectation that you're trying, that you're working toward. When you miss a shot, then you start to doubt and you go, oh, maybe I'm not as capable as I thought I was. Now, if you miss two shots in a row, you get you. Oh, oh, right? Like the average basketball player goes, oh, man, it's an off night, and they won't pursue it anymore. They'll just pass the ball. But the LeBron James is the Michael Jordans, the Kobe Bryant's. They could miss 17 shots, 25 shots for the first three quarters. Their faith is unwavering and they want the ball every single time. Because their mental conversation, which is what I teach you to have in the book, is, give me the ball. I will make this shot. I will reach this goal. Wait a bit. You just missed the last shot. You just felt the last goal. Yeah, but I have unwavering faith that I will make the next one. And here's what this does. It moves your biggest goals from possible to probable to inevitable. Because Just like Jordan couldn't make every shot he took, you can't make every hit. Goal. Every goal you set. You're not going to. But when you apply the miracle equation, when you approach every goal with unwavering faith and you commit to putting forth extraordinary effort, you now put yourself in a position to achieve greater things than you ever imagined possible.
I love this. And I love this even more. Because your unwavering faith since I've known you is incredible unlike any other. I mean, you've had cancer, You've had so many things that came up in your life that when I see you, you have unwavering, wavering faith. How the heck, how the heck do we do this? Teach me, please. Your wisdom.
So when I came up with the Miracle equation, I was, I mean, the irony in this, like, I was, I was our friend Jordan Harbinger, we were talking today and he was like, so you're really, you know, Jordan's like, you know, doesn't pull any punch. He's like, you're really milking this miracle thing, right? This miracle brand. And I go, you know, it's funny, Jordan, I know. I knew from the outside looking in, they'd go, oh, yeah, Miracle Morning was successful. So now you did Miracle Equation. Like, cool, right?
You know, that doesn't work for our work week. Four Hour Body. Sorry, just go ahead. That totally works. You should totally do that.
But here's the irony. The miracle equation existed six years before the Miracle morning was even an idea. It wasn't a book idea. It was something that I created to try to break a sales record. And to put it in context, this means that it was a 14 day sales contest. And I was trying to do something that no one in the 50 year history of our company had ever done, right? So that's pretty scary. Like, not only had I never done it, no human being on the planet had ever done it, right? So you had to step out on faith, right? There was no evidence, only faith. So.
My, essentially it felt like, you know, I was like, this would be a miracle. Like if I pulled this off, it would be a miracle. And so I ended up, I go into the sales manager's office the day before, I'm like. And I had been. Spent three weeks going, okay, 20, I'm going to sell $20,000 of kitchen knives, right? I'm 20 years old. $20,000 in 14 days. Oh, it's gonna be so hard. But I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. And then our manager drops this bomb and he goes, hey, everybody, I don't know if you know, but the conference got moved back four days. We only have 10 days for the sales contest. And like, I raise my hand, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. But tell me, like, this doesn't count. For the record, I'm trying to break, right? Like, I get. I'm getting a pass because this isn't a full 14 days. He's like, hal, unfortunately, it still counts. I'm like, ah. So I go home that night and I'm wrestling with, what do I do? Do I stick to the goal? Like it was. It was almost impossible at 14 days. At 10, it's like, it's not even. There's no way two grand a day, like, in my. In that industry at that time, it wasn't doable. And then I remembered something that one of my mentors taught me, and he said that the. And I think this is a Jim Rohn ism. He said, the real purpose of a goal isn't to hit the goal. It's who you become along the way, right? And specifically who you become by giving it everything you have until the last moment. And the value of you become extends far beyond whether or not you reach an individual goal, right? And so I went, wait a minute. What if I just went for it? Like, I actually tried to pull this miracle off in 10 days. And I knew that if I didn't hit it, it's okay, because. But as long as I, like, legitimately gave it everything I had, like, what would that do for me and who I became? And so I went for it. And I asked myself, what would I have? What decisions do I have to make today? Like, the night before I started to do this? And I thought, okay, well, what are the problems that are gonna. That could derail me? And for everybody listening, these are the problems that derail you from your goals and dreams. I don't care who you are. Number one is fear and self doubt. I thought, I guarantee I've been in sales long enough to go, you know, I'm sure I'm gonna have bad days. I'm gonna have. You know, I'm sure maybe I get halfway through the 10 days and I'm nowhere near on track. And then I'm going, dad, there's no way I'm gonna do it. So I thought, I've got to override my fear and self doubt with faith. I have to do that by telling. And here's the thing, Jamie. This isn't rocket science, right? What we focus on expands what we focus on becomes our reality. So if you have a fear or a self doubt because you miss a shot, whether literally or figuratively, then the self doubt creeps in and then you start to question yourself and then you question your goal and you question your ability and you question your commitment and you're consumed by fear and self doubt. Now does that move you closer to where you want to go? And most people live that way, right? Like that's how they live. And so I thought, I've got to override that with faith. And here's how I did it. It was very practical. I wrote on a note in my pocket that I kept the entire time. I am committed to giving it everything I have to sell $20,000 in 10 days, no matter what. There's no other option. That's it. It's not rocket science. And that became an affirmation, a mantra where whenever I had a no sale and I'm like, oh God, I'm not. I would pull it out, I'd go and I would literally scream it. Like I'd roll down the windows, I would scream it out of my car. I would like. I am committed to give it everything I have until the last moment, regardless of results, no matter what. There is no other option. I said that hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times. And if you're watching this, how often do you, how often every day are you reciting thoughts and words and directing your focus on a level of unwavering commitment to achieve the result that's the most meaningful in your life? I would bet for most people it's not at all. If you started doing that, how might that shift what you think about, how you feel, what you focus on and then what you do as a result? So that's how you maintain unwavering faith, extraordinary effort. I said I would make this ordinary. This isn't Gary Vayner chucking it 80 hour a day, you know, workday.
Thank you. I gotta go pick up the kids after this. Yeah, I gotta do what I gotta do.
This is what makes. This is what makes extraordinary effort. Extraordinary. If I had to sum it up in one word, it's consistency. That's it. It's not 80 hours a day, it's one hour a day. It's one hour a day doing something meaningful that will move you in the direction of your biggest goals and dreams so that you can't not get there. It just is a matter of time now. Right? And that's the thing. Most people, we chase squirrels, we get distracted we get demotivated, we lose the steam that was initially there when we were excited. And so the effort, either whether our faith goes out the window first or the effort, one of them goes. And when one goes, the other one goes. Right. When one goes, the other one goes. So these are the two decisions that you don't make them once and then sit back and wait. Right. You don't set it and forget it. You make them every day, consciously, actively, and you live in alignment with them and you can't fail. And that's what the book is like. How do you breaking this down and making it actionable.
So you, you embody this anyway, just as a side note. So how does somebody that's a layman go through and go, okay, now I want those two things and I want to remember to do it every day. Right. So you've had consistency of doing it over and over and over again. How do I get myself to do it?
Sure. So it. So like in the book, the book end same as the miracle morning. It ends with a 30 day challenge. Right. And it's kind of. Yeah. And the reason is because like I said, usually we get to the end of the book and we're like, great, next book.
Book.
You know, and this book's like, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not allowed to not do that. You have to actually implement what you just learned. Right?
Awesome.
And so after 30, you know, and there's a lot of science on, it takes 60 days or 30 days or 21 days to make it happen. Well, whatever. You do something for 30 days now it's a part of your world, right. Part of your life. So, So a few kind of simple steps. Number one, like the book talks about how. And it's very much in alignment with the book, the one thing our friend Jeff Woods. Right. Is that you, you know, we often set mini goals. And you have, and goals are fun and cute. You set them, you don't hit them, you set new ones next year. You call them New Year's resolutions, whatever. Right. And so the idea is that the idea of taking you set all your goals, right? Okay, I've got eight goals, I've got 10 goals, I've got goals in each area, whatever. And then you get really clear on which of these is my mission. And language is really important because the language that we use affects our emotional response to the words that we say. Right. And goals are cute and fun. But missions carry a different weight. Like humanitarian organizations carry out missions. Right. The military carries out life or death missions. It's not a goal that we go into the country and don't die. Hope we hit that goal. If we don't, then we'll set a new one. No, no, if you don't, you die. Right? So, but our mission. So the idea is, number one, is you identify your mission. What is the goal? So set all your goals and then go. Which of these goals is the most meaningful? And for you, you have to measure that. Like, for me, it would be like, which one of these will improve the quality of my life more than any other. And another caveat to that is which of these goals would, by pursuing it with this miracle equation, with everything I have, would enable me to become the person that I would need to be to achieve everything else I want in my life. Like, you know, for me, I was told I would never walk again, and then I decided to run a 52 mile ultramarathon. And the funny part is not because I was a runner. I've never run more than a mile in PE class in high school. But I literally, I mean, this is the reason I went. Who would I have to become to run 52 miles in one day? Like, I don't know that guy. Never met him. I'd love to not only meet him, but I could become him. That'd be freaking crazy. Because if I became that guy, shit, I could do anything. Like, I don't even know. And so that's why. So that, that's an example of a mission where you go, by committing to that, it will force me to grow so much that even if, whether I hit the goal or not, that doesn't matter. Who I will be at the end of that journey is man. I will be a different me. Right? So that's the thing, is set your mission and then write the miracle equation down in writing. Right? And it's. I am committed to maintain unwavering faith that I will, you know, I will give it everything I have to blank, like, whatever your mission is. Right. And I'll put forth extraordinary effort no matter what, regardless of my results. That's an important caveat. I like to put that in, regardless of my results. Because you're. If results aren't going the way you want, like the book talks about. Yes. You have to stop. You have to assess. You have to like, you know, make sure you don't just keep going in the wrong direction.
Yeah, thank you.
Right. But, but you, but you absolutely, you know, you, you assess and then you go, okay, you, you have to keep moving forward and so anyway, so, yeah, so that. So that, that's the simple way to. To execute this. And it goes back to what I said with, with if you want to be a millionaire, learn what millionaires do. Do it every day a little bit. Keep doing it until you get there, now you're an eventual millionaire.
I love how you do break it down. So it is simple. It's like a slap in the face to be like, you already know this stuff. Just actually do it instead. Because we do have this distrust of ourselves in goal setting because we're like, oh, I set this thing. Oh, wait. Well, you know, and whatever excuses come up from that, oh, wait, I set this thing. And then that takes the whole point of goals out, at least to me. So I love the idea of Miss, how do you pick just one?
The first time I did this whole idea of mission, I was trying to double my sales from. So it goes back to my. It was actually the last year I was with that company with Cutco, and I was trying to double my sales from. And I had been one of their top reps for five years. So to put in context, like I was. Every year I was doing. I was one of the. I was always like the top five out of 50,000. And then I'm like, wait a minute, I want to double my sales. I want to double the best year I've ever done. Since I only have one more year of the company, I want to go out like with a bang. And I thought, you know, what would that look like? And the real, like the ultimate reason for me to do that, for me to double my sales, wasn't the income, the money, the recognition. It went back to who would I have to become to produce twice as much as the best I've ever done for an entire year? I don't know that guy. I don't, you know, like, that's crazy. And so, so what I did is I got really clear. I've got. I had that year. I had a goal to get in the best shape of my life, physically. I was. I wanted to meet my wife. That was kind of a goal. It's hard to control, but I'm like, I'm going to put that intention out there. I wanted to rock climb three days a week. I wanted to write my first book. I wanted to launch my speaking career. And I wanted to start my first ever business coaching business. Right, My coaching business.
You're not an overachiever at all, Hal.
No. And it was. I mean, it's great. And that was the first Year I, like, really became like, an over, over, over overachiever. I was just. But here's the deal. This is what will blow people or, like, might surprise you. I decided, okay, I want to achieve all these goals, but I can't give equal weight to all of them or I'll probably achieve none of them. And I thought, which one is my mission? And I went, well, this is the last year that I have to sell Cutco. It's the last year I'm with this company, so I don't get a second chance on this. And if I were to do this, a, it would double my income, so I would have a lot more cash to start this new business and promote my new book and all of these things, right? And I think it's the hardest goal where I have a reference of going, I would literally be producing twice what I'd ever done. So it's like. So I decided that's my mission. And here's how this lines up beautifully. So in the book, I talk about your mission, and then I go, oh, don't forget about all your other goals, the mission. All of a sudden, so you have all the goals. The mission rises up to the top. And in a very logistical, practical way, I was not allowed to spend any time on any of my other goals on any day until I had done the process, which in the book I teach you, define your process until I had executed the process that would move me toward my mission. And then once so in the morning, I would make my 20 calls for the day. And once I did that, I earned the right to work on my book for an hour to start some coaching, work on coaching clients, to go to the gym. That year, I got in the best shape of my life. I was down to 5.7% body fat. I don't know if that's even healthy. And I put on, like, 20 pounds of muscle. I met the woman my dream is, who I now have two kids with. I wrote my first book and published it. Taking Life Head On. I launched my speaking career and gave my first paid speaking engagement. And I got my first six coaching clients before the year was over. And I hit my goal and doubled my sales and doubled my income.
You did double. And darn it, you totally did them all. Okay.
Yeah. And it was. It was. But it. But I. But I look back and I go, if I had not have clarified my mission, every day would have been a debate on what should I spend time on now. And at the end of the year, I could almost guarantee I would have failed at every single one.
Wow, I really appreciate this. How in doubling your sales in that specific instance, though, why wouldn't you go, hey, well, Let me make 50 call. Let me. Let me spend not however many hours or whatever it is, why don't I double what that is? And then you wouldn't actually have as much time to do all the rest of this stuff. Like, why not try and go all in for some of those things? How did you know that 20 was enough?
So a great example. And it actually ended up being 40 for the day. Here's how this worked. So. So in the book, I talk about the power of the process. Like, every result that we want to achieve in our life is preceded by a process, and the process is what's required to. Not only require to produce the result, but if you define the process accordingly, effectively, it's not just required, but it makes the result inevitable, right? So, for example, if you limit your. If you want to lose weight, if that's the result you're after, if you limit your caloric intake and then you increase your cardio exercise every day to burn more calories than you're taking in, unless you have a genetic defect or something, your result is inevitable. You eventually will earn or eventually will lose the weight. Right? You know, you can apply this to anything with the process. So here's what I did. I went, okay. I look back at my schedule from the year that I had sold $100,000 of Cutco knives, and I was trying to sell 200,000 that year. And I counted. I went back because I would tally my calls every day. And so I was able to go back and literally go, how many calls did it take me to sell $100,000? And I went, oh. And it was like 21.2 calls a day or something, right? Like, it was right at 20. And I go, so wait. And this takes the fear. Doubling a result, like, is scary. But when you break it down to the process, I went, wait a minute. I've made 40 calls in a day before. I've never sold $200,000 a year, but I made 40 calls in a day so I could commit to the process, knowing that if I do it every day, the law of average is gonna play out. It's almost inevitable that I will. I'll double my income. And I was still scared of the result, but I was not scared of making 40 calls in a day. So I made 20 calls in the morning and then 20 calls in the evening, right? Hitting people that were home during the day and then hitting people that were home in the evening, and that's it. And it's like, oh, and I sold $205,000. I doubled. I mean, it's like, it's really not rocket science. Like, that's what I say in the book. I'm like, let. Miracles aren't these. This crazy thing, like. And here's how I define a miracle. All it is is any result outside the realm of what you believe is probable for you. Therefore, when you hit it, it feels like a miracle. Like, when I. When I doubled my income in sales that year, I literally remember. I, like, I got my mail and the week after the year ended, and it was my final commission statement. And you never know if the orders are all going to go through. Sometimes you have, like, they don't go through. Credit cards declined. Right? And I was like, close. And so I opened my. I was standing at the foot of my bed, and I opened my commission statement, and it says, $205,000. And I remember, I literally, like, you can insert classical music here. I, like, I opened my arms with my commission statement in hand, and I just, like. Like, I was falling on a bed of clouds. I'm just like, oh, my God, I did it. You know? And that's the experience I want people to have with this book, is like, there is. You are capable of so much more, and this unlocks that for you. And I want you to have an experience of standing at the foot of your bed and whatever your miracle is. Right. You know, six months from now, whatever, you fall back and you're like, I can't believe I did it. Like, I cannot believe I did it. Freaking crazy. And then you move on to your next miracle.
You gave me goosebumps. I love this. Okay, everybody make sure they pick up the book. I know we have to start wrapping up, but I want to talk about this next time after many months, after this is a huge international bestseller, then we'll chat again because I'll have more time, because I. I know you're running from podcast to podcast. Literally, you should listen to him on a bazillion of the best podcast because he's going on a amazing tour right now. That's why you're with Jordan. But I'm going to ask you the last question. What is one action listeners can take this week to help move them forward towards their goal of a million?
Yes, I'm going to go. I'm going to. I'm actually going to revisit an action that I gave earlier right Repetition is key. So here's the deal. Number one is define your mission. So look at all of your goals. And if you don't have your goal set, set the goal right? Go Google an article on how to set goals, right? If you don't have that page, most of you probably are. But look at all your goals and revisit them and. And ask yourself which of these is. Is the most meaningful, most significant, and maybe most important. By giving it everything I have, it would enable me to become a version of myself that I've never met, but that could accomplish anything that version ever put their mind to. And then that is your mission. And then I'm given the second step, which is your. That Miracle equation. Put that in writing and phrase your mission. I am committed to give it everything I have to reach this blank. Whatever your mission is, right? No matter what, there is no other option. And just. And read that every day and then live in alignment with it. And now your success becomes inevitable. If you have a mission and you're doing something every day that moves you in the direction of that mission, it's inevitable you will eventually get there.
Everybody go to themiracle equation.com so you can pick it up with all the bonuses. And one thing that I feel like you do really, really well is build a community around this. So do you. Are you going to have a Miracle Equation community also that I can join and be part of the challenge?
Yeah. I'm trying to figure that. I mean, we have 200,000 people in the Miracle Morning Facebook group, you know, and 500, 600,000 in the email community. And so I'm like, I don't think that I should divert. I think it's going to be. It's going to be the Miracle Morning community. Yeah. Miracle Morning. And the beauty of it is, everybody. Oh, go ahead. Sorry.
Oh, no, go ahead.
Oh, everybody. You know, the mirror. Like, I've never. When Miracle Morning came out, I was. I was not an author. I was unknown. So it's. So it's so wild to launch this book and have like hundreds of people because, like, I have. We have 300 people on the reader, advanced reader team. They're all Miracle Morning fans. And there's just hundreds of selfies online and people are like, this book's as good as the Miracle Morning. It's just different. And, you know, yada, yada, yada. And so, yeah. So I'm not sure what the. The. The community is. It's the Miracle Morning community. We might just rename it the Miracle Community. And I'm not sure we'll figure that out.
So that's what I wanted to highlight. I want everybody to go check that out, because the amount of community that you have, so you're not alone to do this, because I know we're the weirdos listening to podcasts by ourselves, and our families might not know what we're doing, and we're kind of crazy. And your community is just so fantastic of people really helping each other and putting each other up and helping boost the neededness of personal development in wisdom and actually doing it. So I so, so appreciate it. Everybody should go check out the Miracle Morning community. Whatever you call it. I don't actually care, but as long as everybody's in it and working together on the goals and doing this challenge. Thank you so much, Hal, for coming on again, as always, thank you, Jimmy.
