Hello and welcome to the Achieve Your Goals podcast, the show that empowers you to wake up to your full potential and achieve your biggest goals and dreams.

I am your host, Hal Elrod, and I invite you to join us each week as we share actionable strategies to take your life to the next level,

as well as interview world-class experts and entrepreneurs who have achieved extraordinary goals

themselves and we ask them to give you a peek behind the curtain and teach you exactly what you need

to do to do the same. Ready? Here we go. What if making one decision could change your

entire life in ways that you could never imagine? That's what today's episode is about, the decision that changed my life more than any other. Now, of course, marrying my wife is probably at the very tip top. But right below that is writing and self-publishing a book. This book you see right behind me, The Miracle Morning, and the dozen books around it. Now, if you're watching

this, of course, you can see it. If you're listening, you don't see what I'm pointing at.

But you get the point. Writing and self-publishing the Miracle Morning created financial

freedom for me and my family. It created an impact for millions of people that gave my life

purpose and meaning in terms of the work that I was able to do in the world.

It enabled me to support my family financially while I was fighting cancer.

So during my cancer journey, the Miracle Morning books earned hundreds of thousands of dollars

for our family to pay all of our medical bills and all of our mortgage, everything,

so that my wife could focus on taking care of our kids and supporting me,

and I could focus all of my energy on healing and being alive for my family.

Chandler Bolt is the founder of self-publishing.com.

He has helped thousands of people become, just authors, but best selling authors.

And for me personally, I've known Chandler for over 10 years. I've watched him grow self-publishing.com

into a $75 million business. So not only is Chandler making a huge impact for other people, of course, he has become a leader as an entrepreneur.

And today we're talking about a little bit of both, mostly about why writing a book, even if you're not a writer, even if you ever thought you could write a book, how you can leverage AI to help you write a book, how you can do it in a way where you will create an impact and an income

that will last long beyond you writing that book. And then also I asked Chandler for a little bit of

tips on how do you grow a $75 million business as well, whether that's with your book or whatever
