Debt freedom feels really good..and if you know my personal story you know that I recently paid off over $45,000 in student loan debt in just 6 months.

They are super simple...you just have to get focused and start doing them! This isn't rocket science, I swear. But it is ALL about habits.

5 Super Simple Steps to Debt Freedom

1. Make a conscious decision to get debt free and not take on anymore debt.

2. Set aside an emergency fund.

3. Create a budget and actually stick to it.

4. Organize your repayment plan & set a FREEDOM date!

5. Stay focused and throw all extra cash onto your debt.

You need an alter ego and today's episode is all about why and how to create one of your own to pull out when you need it most.

Beyonce has Sasha Fierce.

Who is that? Her Alter-ego. You need one.

Beyonce has spoken about being able to embody this confident, sassy woman on stage that she doesn't think she is in her real life: Sasha Fierce. 

Alter-egos allow their users freedom to express something they don't normally feel comfortable expressing. Embracing your alter ego can give you a fresh perspective and boost of confidence in your own body and psyche.

 

Don't have an alter-ego? Get one. Make her up. Draw him out. Let her come to you. However you find your alter-ego, find him.

Need help creating your alter ego? I've created a step-by-step free guide for you to download here: www.adriennedorison.com/14download

Ready to tap into the potential you always knew you had?

Your highest potential that is...not some half-ass next level greatness.

Are you currently living as your best self? If you are, you might not need this podcast. But if not, why—what’s the holdup?

A few things that might be holding you back:

  • Your Mindset - your thoughts and beliefs may be limiting your success

  • Your Habits - your daily routines and rituals may be keeping you stuck

  • Your Attitude - your perceptions and outlook on life and circumstances

This list could go on and on, but essentially, if you want to master your life, you must first master yourself.

It's time to overcome mediocrity and to reach our highest potential. Yet, everyday many of us are waking up and doing the same thing we did the day before. And our extraordinary life continues to stay a dream.

This School of Self-Mastery is about how to master yourself, so that you can continue to take your levels of success—in every area of your personal and professional life—to levels beyond what you’ve experienced before.

If you're like me, you get really excited by the idea of being world class, of being great at what you do, of living a very extraordinary, successful life. But you're frustrated because it seems to slip through your fingers. The problem, of course, is that YOU are the problem!

If you want to tap into your GREATEST potential, you need to start to actively growing yourself.

This means committing to self-mastery.

What is self-mastery? It's taking ownership of your results in life and using any and every means available to become the best that you can be. It's recognizing that to get to that world class level, you will have to develop exceptional, robust habits of success-– because all your results ultimately flow from YOU.

Mastery is...

  • the demonstration of a great skill or technique

  • thorough knowledge of a subject

  • the ability to display great skill or achieve a significant accomplishment

  • the action, skill or process demonstrated by a master.

Mastery spans and encompasses the areas of skill, knowledge, and taking action ... which is something we can all do in our own lives.

Far too often, it seems like mastery is reserved for others. That it is not easily obtainable and a goal few would aspire to, let alone reach. But self-mastery is at the heart of every human with the desire to attain it.

This is not just theorizing. Results, results, results are what I care about. Nothing fluffy here.

The fact is, if you're not satisfied with what you've accomplished so far, you need better habits, better beliefs, better thought-patterns, more emotional awareness, more knowledge, and new skills to bridge the gap. 

The 5 pillars of self-mastery include: 

  1. Mindset
  2. Finances
  3. Physical Body/Health
  4. Relationships
  5. Purpose

Success starts before 8am is all about creating real intention in the morning.

Today’s guest is one of my personal heroes, Hal Elrod. He’s the #1 best-selling author of what is now being widely regarded as “one of the most life-changing books ever written” titled, The Miracle Morning: The Not So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed To Transform Your Life… Before 8AM.

It is also one of the highest rated books on Amazon with over 700 five-star reviews!

What’s even more incredible is that Hal actually died at age 20. He was hit head on by a drunk driver at 70 mph, broke 11 bones, died for 6 minutes, and spent 6 days in a coma only to wake up to face the news that he may never walk again... Well, not only did he walk, Hal went on to run a 52-mile ultra marathon, become a hall of fame business achiever, an international keynote speaker, one of the world’s top success coaches, he’s a hip-hop recording artist, has been featured in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, writes for Entrepreneur.com, has appeared on radio and TV shows across the country, and the list just goes on and on. He’s also the host of one of the top personal development podcasts on iTunes, called “Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod.” 

As the bestselling author of The Miracle Morning, I brought him on today to talk about how you can change any—or literally EVERY area of your life, by simply changing the way you wake up in the morning—even if you’ve never been a morning person.
