http://www.InspireNationShow.com, In this episode we’re talking with Hal Elrod, a future Tony Robbins, who knows more than a thing or two about success, comebacks, manifesting your desires, and even getting in the hall of fame, well, for business that is! He’s the best-selling author of Taking Life Head On and The Miracle Morning. He’s studied many of the great minds from both past and present to learn what they’ve done to succeed, and then implemented them himself, and systematized the process. It all began after a near death accident left him with brain damage and 11 broken bones, AFTER he died three times. But he didn’t give up on life, but instead reframed the tragedy and turned it into an advantage. Years later when the economy collapsed, his business crumbled, and he lost his first home, he didn’t give up either, but used it to spur himself on…well, after some coaxing and coaching from a friend of his. Despite a titanium femur, he became an ultra-runner, and a morning person, and devised a system to turn every morning, into a miracle morning. This is a habit changing interview, and quite possibly life-changing as well. If you follow Hal’s advice, you can’t help but be happier, more productive, and more on your way toward your dreams! Some of the key questions asked: 1. What happened when a drunk-driver hit you head on at 80 miles an hour? 2. I’m told you died three times in the first week. As someone who’s had two near-death experiences, do you recall anything from the first week or the time you were dead? 3.
