Hal Elron has become one of the most successful self-published authors in the world and is best known for his international best selling book, The Miracle Morning, that is now selling over 10,000 copies every month as a self-published book. He has earned over one thousand five-star reviews on Amazon and has cracked the code to creating an extraordinary income and impact as an author.
“The Miracle Morning is so simple, I never thought it would become this successful and change so many lives,” says Hal when he reflects back upon his start as a self-publishing author. Last week, he signed with China, making this country the 21st international publisher he has signed with since publishing his book. His book is currently the #1 best-selling book in Korea, #3 in the UK, and has hit #5 on the bookselling list in France.
