I read this book for free under the KindleUnlimited promotion after I got a new Kindle device. This was one of the few books that caught my attention during that short period of time. I've always found mornings to be important and this book just highlighted the fact that mornings are often part of the millionaire's formula to success. They often wake up at 5am to begin planning their day, which just goes to show how much discipline and motivation they have to do all the things on their list. No wonder they are millionaires! It's fascinating how Hal Elrod himself "died" several times, but that didn't stop him from living a life held back. He came back with even more ferocity to take on so many great things and to achieve monumental success.

*spoiler alert*

I like the part in the book where he encourages you to write a letter to yourself from the future when you're successful and wealthy, giving advice to your current self; how you can offer comfort and advice from that place of understanding. What an interesting perspective. He already had the confidence that he would be successful in the future and is passing on that vision of success to us, implicating that we WILL be wealthy in the future without a shadow of a doubt, and how would we be communicating to our current selves? What kind of wisdom would we hold from that other platform? How many people can live from this mindset?

He had me sold on the Savers. I think i'm going to start implementing them when I can.

Some quotes that I jotted down:

"Simply moving forward and never rewarding yourself, for me, is a message to your subconscious that all this work is for no real reason." Rewarding yourself for any accomplishment is very important!

"The greatest minds in human history have spent years condensing the best of what they know into a few pages that can be purchased for a few dollars, read in a few hours, and shorten your learning curve by decades." So true!

I really enjoyed this book and gained quite a bit from it, although there was one point which I couldn't really agree on. The whole book felt very: go go go... hurry hurry hurry, do as much as you can in every minute... And that felt kind of stressful to me. I'm at a point in my life where I find that doing things on my own time, relaxing and slowing down are necessary. I don't necessarily believe in the hurried, fast-paced lifestyle. But overall, I did enjoy picking the brain of a millionaire and getting a glimpse into the passion and grit that goes behind making so much happen. It is admirable and respectable. But I guess I would try to find a middle ground. I don't believe someone can go go go their whole life without tiring or breaking down. Balance is key. ( )
