Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

From the moment I first heard Rob Actis' voice in an audition, I knew that he would be the voice of The Miracle Morning audiobook series. As he was recording the first book, he started doing his SAVERS, stopped sleeping in until noon, and, amazingly, discovered that he was narrating a book that was changing his life in real-time. Rob decided at the age of 4 that he wanted to speak to the world. 54...

In October of 2016, I woke up in the middle of the night, struggling to breathe. Days later, I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia—a very rare and aggressive form of cancer—with a survival rate of 30%. I was told that I had a matter of days to start chemotherapy, or I would die. I took a somewhat unique approach to beating cancer that combined the best of Western medicine with holistic...
