What are your limits? Care to break them?

To inspire change in yourself and your team, you must break free from what's holding you down.

In Elevate, award-winning CEO and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Robert Glazer reveals four life-changing principles—or capacities—that will allow you to overcome self-limiting beliefs, establish positive habits, find your core principles, and build more rewarding personal and professional relationships. As we look to elevate ourselves, we must do so much more than beating the competition, because our greatest competition is ourselves! We need to find ways to consistently outperform ourselves and our own expectations.

Robert has built a career on accelerating productivity and careers. Elevate is based on his four foundational elements necessary for elevating our performance:

1. Spiritual: Who you are, what you want most and the standards you live by.
2. Intellectual: How you think, learn, plan and execute with discipline
3. Physical: Your health, well-being and physical performance
4. Emotional: Your ability to overcome challenging situations, your emotional mindset and the quality of your relationships.

Elevate explores each of these elements in detail and offers actionable tips you can use to start improving today.

The key is elevating yourself beyond the edge of your current abilities. Challenge yourself, and the result will inspire others to rise along with you. It's time to break free of your limits.
