Harlan Kilstein is an author, entrepreneur, and lifestyle coach born in Brooklyn, New York. He is currently residing in Boca Raton, Florida where he spends his time with his family and handling the management of his businesses.

He studied at Yeshiva University from 1976 to 1990 for his doctorate in Education and pursued a post-doctorate degree at the Harvard University Graduate of Education.

He’s a self-made businessman with the ownership of several multi-million enterprises.

Harlan’s career as an author began after leaving the field of Education.

Despite spending the first decade or so of his adult life as an educator/principal, Harlan decided to venture out of his comfort zone by getting into self-employment.

He started by setting up a hypnosis practice in Miami, Florida during the late 1990s.

Even back then, he had been unwavering when it came to learning the ropes of marketing by targeting potential business through paid newspaper ads. At the time, these were the type of ads to buy in order to get the most awareness of one’s business. Unfortunately, Harlan discovered that the paid ads began to burn out and become less and less successful as the years passed.

And so, he decided to give self-marketing a try.

He started off by training with some of the most respected business entrepreneurs at the time, and after, he armed himself with his newfound knowledge to market his practice through the Miami Herald. The self-published ads quickly began to flood his business — to the point that other franchises had taken notice and began to approach him for his work.

This success continued for years. Until, unfortunately, the ads were cut off from circulation to promote uniformity throughout all the hypnosis practices.
