Elite is defined as superior in terms of ability or qualities compared to the rest of the group or society. It’s not something that is given to you; it is something that is earned. Anyone has the potential to be elite in life. But in order to do so, you need to take control of your life and make the small changes every day to make the shift within your own journey to becoming your own version of elite.

Using inspiring, practical, and real-world stories of successes and failures, Erik Westrum teaches you how to be accountable and disciplined while bridging the way from yesterday to a better today and into a consistent tomorrow.
