About The Book

Build a custom plan to boost performance both inside and outside of the workplace, with simple everyday strategies anyone can use.

How you do anything is how you do everything. Great performance, whether at work or at home, starts with the little things: making your bed, organizing your closet, maintaining your yard, shooting a basketball, closing a deal. Elevate Your Excellence offers a foolproof approach to improve the often-neglected everyday disciplines like hydration, sleep quality, and mindset maintenance that can make all the difference in generating high-quality performance.

Based on his most popular seminars and trainings, LearntoLead.com founder Dave “Mr. Accountability” Anderson encourages readers to make simple and immediately actionable tweaks to begin doing ordinary things extraordinarily well to transform their lives—in areas including:
  • Winning your morning hours to set the pace of success for the day
  • Improving mental toughness and staying locked in to what matters most to tackle your most challenging days
  • Mastering intentional breathing and sleeping to add years to your life


Regardless of industry, position, age, experience, or geography, Anderson’s guidelines are proven techniques to make excellence an innate part of your personal brand. Whether you’re running a household or building a corporate culture, the game-changing action items in this book will inspire you to do and be better—and will truly elevate your excellence.
