We all want to be the best version of ourselves for the people we love and lead. But most of us don’t think we can BE happy or fulfilled until we HAVE the things we want. What if we’ve got it backwards? What if we start with daily dedication to BEING a Level 10 person? What if self-development is the prerequisite for DOING what it takes to achieve our big dreams and HAVING the success we’ve always wanted?

Hal Elrod is the world-renowned author of The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM), one of the highest-rated bestsellers in the world.
