Episode Highlights:

Traditional Publishing vs. Self-Publishing

Publishing is absolutely the way to go. Because the only way a publisher makes it worth your time, is if you have a large platform of about 100,000 people on the email list. Then you want to start considering pursuing a traditional publisher.

The Impact of Podcasting on The Miracle Morning

Hal found podcasting to be the biggest needle mover in all of the marketing efforts – not TV guesting. He realized that people that watch television don't necessarily pursue personal growth and development or professional growth and development. But if you're listening to a podcast, by default, you are pursuing development in that area that the podcast has a niche in. That’s why the podcast was the game-changer for him.

How to Be a Level 10 Person

Your level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development. And so, if you want level 10 success, but your level of personal development is down at 2 or 3, then there’s a disconnect. If you want a level 10 life, then you’ve got to have your rituals dialed in to ensure you become a level 10 person capable of creating that level 10 life.

Being Level 10 means you're developing your skills and your mindset, habits, and knowledge – all of those things that will enable you to become the person you need to be to create and sustain the success that you want in your life.

SAVERS: 6 Practices for Personal Development

• Silence - meditation or prayer
• Affirmations
• Visualization
• Exercise
• Reading
• Scribing - journaling

Being at Peace

When things go wrong in life, it's okay to be negative, but not for more than five minutes. Set your timer for five minutes where you've got to feel every emotion. You can't change what happened five minutes ago. So you're going to choose how you're going to respond right now. Whether you dwell on it, or you choose to accept it fully and be at peace with it. This is more powerful than happiness because happiness is an emotion and emotions are fleeting. But when you're at peace and you accept life, it's the place in between happiness, positive emotion, and negative, painful emotions. It's a state of being. It's a neutral emotional state. It is rooted and it's ever-present. And from that emotional neutral space, you get to choose which emotion would best serve you in the moment.
