Do you struggle with your visualization practice? I know I do - it's the least strong of my S.A.V.E.R.S. and something I'm always looking to better understand, enhance, and otherwise improve.

This is why today's episode is guest hosted by my good friend, Chip Franks. In addition to being an incredible author, stroke survivor, father, and husband, Chip is an expert when it comes to the Miracle Morning and each of the S.A.V.E.R.S. And when he surprised me with this podcast episode that he recorded specifically for our community, I immediately wanted to share it with you.

Today, Chip goes deep into visualization. You'll learn why it's the least understood of the S.A.V.E.R.S., what makes it so important, and discover 10 ways to get creative with your visualization practice.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• #1: Be clear on what you want to visualize, and use your goals or a feeling that you want to have happen in your life to guide your visualization.
• #2: Take the hammer approach instead of the butterfly approach.
• #3: Engage every sense in your visualization to make the experience more awesome.
• #4: Deeply feel your visualization to give your subconscious something to work on.
• #5: Use the two-part visualization to imagine not just your end goal, but the steps you'll take to get there.
• #6: Visualize in both the first- and third-person.
• #7: Push through the hard parts to conquer obstacles and prevent yourself from failing prematurely.
• #8: Create deep intention with no attachments.
• #9: Use visualization to act perfectly.
• #10: Combine visualization with your other S.A.V.E.R.S. to bring the best out of everything.

Ever since I finished writing my last book (The Miracle Equation), I've been actively learning and evolving in an attempt to figure out one thing: how can I best contribute to humanity? In other words, what do all of us need that I might be able to help people experience?

Through daily meditation and prayer, engaging with your community, and consistently reading and learning, I have become more and more clear. I'm currently deep into the research phase, which means I'm reading and re-reading 6 or 7 books right now, as well as constantly striving to become the person I need to be to live and ultimately deliver that message.

Rather than make you wait until a new book, in today's episode, I'd like to share with you what I've been learning as I've experienced it. I want to give you some new distinctions, insights, lessons, strategies, and knowledge that you can use to improve your own life - however they may serve you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why my main goal right now is to achieve inner freedom and to be in a place where no circumstances, and nothing anyone says or does can affect my emotional state - and why it's okay if I never get there.
• The power of surrender.
• Why it's impossible not to be selfish as we work to become the best versions of ourselves - and why that's okay.
• The books I've been diving into over the last year - and what I've learned from them.

A few weeks ago, John Lee Dumas and I had a conversation about his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment, and we've both been blown away by the response. I got a huge number of comments, emails, and responses, and John got more emails after our podcast than any other he's ever recorded.

One of the questions I was asked was simply, "What are the 17 steps to uncommon success?" With John's book still weeks away from release, I asked him if he'd be willing to pull back the curtain and share ALL of these steps with the Miracle Morning Community - and he was gracious enough to say, "Yes, let's do it!"

Today, John returns to the podcast for the second time in less than 30 days—something I've never done before—to share all 17 steps to uncommon success, with my added insights and commentary.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How a single quote (from Albert Einstein) transformed John Lee Dumas' life more between the ages of 32 and 41 than he did in his first three decades on Earth.
• The life-changing power of the ripple effect.
• John's 17 steps to achieve Uncommon Success (taken from 3,000+ interviews).
• How John was able to get the BEST person to interview for each step.
• How you can apply each step to create your own path to uncommon success.
• And much more…

Today, you're in for a treat! This episode is quite a bit different than our usual format, but I promise it's packed with a ton of value. It's actually a replay taken from a 2-hour Clubhouse welcome party that I did for The Miracle Morning Community.

In case you're not familiar with Clubhouse, it's basically an audio-only chatting app where individuals can host and join different conversations. It's sort of like a live podcast, except the major difference is that the audience is able to raise their hand and be invited onto a virtual stage to interact and participate with the speakers.

A few weeks ago, my friend Gary Henderson offered to host a welcome party as a way for me to connect and communicate with people in our community and beyond. During this 2-hour session, you'll hear an interview between me and a group of carefully selected moderators. We then shift gears and open up the dialogue to a Q&A format so people listening could join in.

We touch on A LOT of Miracle Morning related topics, but in a way that you've never experienced before. The beauty of Clubhouse is that it's not just a one-way discussion. I'm getting questions in real-time that people are struggling with, and through this platform, we get to work out the answers together.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• What does it mean to elevate our consciousness and how does that collectively elevate the consciousness of humanity?
• How to take control of your inner world. What happens on the outside doesn't have to dictate what happens on the inside!
• Why every challenge we face is an opportunity to help other people ease their suffering.
• Why your resistance to reality is the cause of all of your emotional pain and suffering - and what you can do instead to overcome life's biggest challenges.
• Stories from the most difficult moments of my life, including my recent struggle with depression and losing my will to live.
• Why our dependence on smartphones is detrimental to our mental and emotional well being - and where I believe we should be focusing our attention instead!
• How to transform your state of mind at ANY moment, using Emotional Optimization Meditation.
• 3 steps you can use to create real results with your affirmations and visualizations - and the 2 biggest reasons why most affirmations never come true.
• How I use the S.A.V.E.R.S to optimize my own mental and emotional well being.
• Q&A with a ton of Clubhouse listeners!

We can all see struggle and hardship in the world, and we all want to make a difference. But how do we get our ideas off the ground and give back in authentic, effective ways?

Autumn Strier had a grand vision to help families in need, and she now lives in service of that vision every day. She's the founder and CEO of Miracles for Kids, an organization I discovered a few months back and immediately started supporting. They help families with critically ill children fight bankruptcy, homelessness, hunger and depression, giving them the resources and strength they need to fight for their kids' lives.

Thanks to you and everyone who supported The Miracle Morning Movie, we donated $9,200 from the ticket sales, and committed to donate an additional $1,000 per month, every month.

Today, Autumn and I are talking about how the kindness and generosity of others can help people build the lives they want, what happens when you get over self-doubt and believe in yourself, and the powerful ripple effect that you can create when you discover how you can best give back.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• How being on the receiving end of charity as a child and working since the age of 10 inspired Autumn to give back as she grew up.
• How Autumn turned a family friend's unused employee contribution fund and tax I.D. letter into a thriving nonprofit despite already having a full-time job, a traveling husband, a two-year-old, and a baby weeks away from being born with a critical illness.
• Why people considering starting charities should look for a unique angle and be ready to pivot - just like if you're launching a business.
• What Miracles For Kids is doing to help families during the pandemic - and how you can support this wonderful organization.

There's no way around it: we all live in a society where we have to earn money in order to pay for the things we need. However, that doesn't mean that the money we earn has to be directly linked to our time, or that we have to spend our lives doing things we don't enjoy in order to provide for ourselves and those we love.

John Lee Dumas knows this very well. On his award-winning podcast Entrepreneurs On Fire, which has over 100,000,000 listens, he's interviewed more than 2,700 of the world's most successful leaders in business. In his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success, he takes what he's learned from those 2,700 interviews and lays out a proven 17-step roadmap to help his readers achieve financial security, freedom and fulfillment.

In our conversation today, John and I talk about how he was able to overcome PTSD in order to build a multi-million dollar business, how his 17-step system is helping people to achieve their goals, and why it's time to stop being uncomfortable when it comes to talking about money.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• How John found his footing as he confronted PTSD, professional failure, and depression after serving in the US military.
• Why every single highly successful entrepreneur has followed John's 17 steps, whether they know it or not.
• How to find your big idea, discover your niche, and create a solid content production plan.
• How building the financial life you want gives you the freedom and power to give back to the people and organizations you care about the most.

A lot of us want more time, more money, and more freedom, but we don't know how to make it happen. We don't know what steps to take, what we need to do, or how to get started.

This is why Ray Higdon's message spoke to me, and I'm pleased to say that today's podcast exceeded my expectations. Ray is the author of the new book, Time, Money, Freedom: 10 Simple Rules to Redefine What's Possible and Radically Reshape Your Life. In it, he and his wife Jessica share how they achieved personal and financial independence - and give their readers a step-by-step process to build confidence and take control of their lives.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• Ray's childhood story of overcoming an abusive relationship with his stepmother.
• Why Ray decided to write the book, Time, Money, Freedom.
• Why anyone can create a great life despite a bad past.
• How your hardships can inspire others and positively impact the world.
• The concept of "plucking your weeds" - identifying and changing areas of your life that are incongruent with your values.
• Why more money = more good!
• The power of vulnerability - and why sharing your story is the inspiration others need!
• Why success shouldn't be associated with monetary gains or status - and a much better way to measure it.
• Having a WHY that makes you cry and the secret to making real progress towards it.

What are your financial goals for 2021? Entering into the New Year, we often talk about transforming our health, our relationships, and our careers - but what about our finances? I don't know about you, but I've been guilty of making mistakes when it comes to setting goals for income, savings, and wealth creation. Fortunately, there's no better time to change than now.

Joining me today to talk about this is Robert Gonzalez. Robert is the founder and CEO of MyBooks.PRO, a profitability and bookkeeping company that works with individuals and entrepreneurs. I've known Robert for fifteen years, and I was his coach back in 2009 – helping him with leadership and business strategies. Now, our roles have been reversed, as I coach with him – specifically on my finances.

In this episode, Robert and I are talking about how to track your fin

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• The common mistakes that people make when it comes to their finances.
• The difference between using QuickBooks and working with a financial coach.
• What makes financial goals not that different from the other goals we set for ourselves each year - and how to hold yourself to them, even if you have variable income.
• Tools you can use to create automatic savings and solve your budget problems.
• The four stages of financial freedom.

I'm not sure if our world has ever been this divided. From my vantage point, I've never seen so much judgement, condemnation, hatred, and vitriol toward one another, especially between people of different belief systems.

The reality is that we're all human beings. We're all part of the human family, and no matter how our beliefs might differ from one another, we're all a lot more alike than we are different. We all want to be happy, to be healthy, to have freedom, to feel safe, and to feel respected.

Inspired by a Facebook Live session I did last week, today's episode is about the consequences of judging and condemning others, the power of unconditional love (and why it's not the same thing as tolerating harmful or abusive behavior), and how this radical gesture has the power to help us heal the world.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• The consequences of judging others based on your own life experiences.
• Why human beings have so much more in common than we do differences.
• How unconditional love can heal the world, beginning with healing yourself.
• How do you love someone who has wronged you?
• Trading in your judgement for empathy.
• The difference between blame and responsibility.
• What it means to be part of a human family.
• Why putting labels on people makes it impossible to appreciate, respect, or love them.
