This week’s guest on Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu is author, speaker and entrepreneur Hal Elrod. After literally dying in a car crash, Hal woke up in a hospital bed and was told by his doctors that he would never walk again. Thanks to intense visualization and affirmations and perhaps some grace, Hal took his first step 3 weeks later. In this episode he talks about the miracle morning, the key personality traits of successful people and how to overcome any trials and tribulations you face in life.
