Note from the author:


This journey started with an email.

In late 2015, I started sending an email to my team each Friday. While the subject varied each week, the unifying themes were inspiration, high-performance and the courage to push limits and achieve. To my surprise, my colleagues started telling me how much they looked forward to the email each week, and said that they were forwarding it to friends and family as well. I decided to expand the email to my entire network, and Friday Forward was born.

Even more surprising, writing the Friday Forward brought me greater clarity on my purpose and my values. I discovered my passion for helping others be their best selves, and unlocking successes that previously seemed inaccessible. In particular, I was drawn to the concept of self-improvement, and I learned in order to achieve anything worth pursuing in life, we first need to build our capacity.

Once I dedicated more thought and research to the idea of capacity building and came to realize that there are four elements of capacity building: Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical and Emotional. Each individual person is stronger in some of these areas than in others, but elevating your performance requires you to build all four capacities, simultaneously.

Elevate is a guide to how to build those four capacities. After introducing the concept of capacity building itself, the book takes an in-depth look at each of the four capacities, explaining why they matter, how they lead directly to achievement, and actionable steps to improve in each of the four elements.

Elevate is not a book of theories or abstract concepts. This is intended for people who are dedicated to achieving elevated performance in both life and business. I hope you will join this journey.
