Hal Elrod’s story is seriously amazing. At 19 years old, he was hired as a salesperson for Cutco Knives. In his first 10 days, he broke a sales record that had been in place for years. This was a revelation to him as he had not been a high achiever growing up. It created a new identity and mindset for him-he started believing that he could achieve what he put his mind to.

A year and a half later, after giving a speech which got a standing ovation, he was on cloud nine when he was hit head-on (and subsequently on his driver’s side as well) in a crash at a net speed of 140 mph. He died on the scene and a few times over the intervening days, until he woke from a coma 6 days later with multiple broken bones and brain damage.

He told his parents he would walk again but, if not, he would be the happiest wheelchair-bound person anyone knew. The circumstances he found himself in were the worst case scenario but by accepting them, they could have no effect on his emotions. He was able to be happy and grateful to the point that medical staff thought he was in denial! Two weeks later his body was healing so rapidly that the doctors let him take his first step in rehab. All the cliché things we are told about mind over matter, etc., really proved to be true.

Eight years later, he hit a point in life that felt even lower than his accident when he lost everything in the 2008 financial crisis. Facing depression and loss, it was a series of events that led him to hear a quote by Jim Rohn that was the catalyst for changing his life. It was the catalyst to change his life. That quote inspired him to go on a quest for the #1 practice that the world’s most successful people do. He actually came up with six and the next day he had his Miracle Morning-his life changed because although it was still a mess on the outside, internally he felt unstoppable.

That book has now sold over 100,000 copies, Hal has realized his dream of becoming a public speaker, now getting engagements all over the world, and the Miracle Morning Community, one of the most engaged online communities at over 23,000 members and growing by 100 members per day!

Working with people from around the world for the past 20 years one common denominator I have seen is the dislike for Mondays.
This is mainly because most of us do not like what they do for a living and the thought of starting another week stresses them out.

Did you know that more people suffer from heart attacks on Monday mornings than any other day?

What if you could look at Monday differently?

Join me on the show and lets create a new Monday together.

His work background consists of Marketing, Sales, Management, and Executive Roles. He spent 13 years trying different home business opportunities while working 40-60 hours per week in corporate America. Majority of those home business opportunities ended in failure… but he didn’t give up his dream to be able to work from home and provide a nice living for his family, while also spending a lot of time with them.

In February of 2010, Zach took the leap and started working from home full-time. After almost shipwrecking his family financially, he finally started having success in the home business niche… primarily by using the Amazon selling platform. He actually had a 30 day time frame where he made $75,000 in profit while selling on Amazon.

With a desire to see many people experience the freedom he had found, he started consulting people on how to have success while working from home. He currently runs a successful consulting business that teaches people how to successfully sell products on Amazon.
