Is there another level of life that you want to live? Are there goals you’ve been struggling to achieve? Are there areas of your life where you’ve settled for excuses instead of excellence?
With close to two decades of experience working with high achievers globally, peak performance expert Delatorro McNeal II is passionate about teaching people how to live life full throttle.

- Steer the flow of your emotional states
- Shift your core relationships to invite the right posse to your biker club
- Drive defensively to avoid the potholes that stop most people from succeeding

Dr. Delatorro places great emphasis on how we play small by leaning on our excuses while they limit us from performing to our fullest potential. I am pleased to have purchased the book for my wife as well. She purchased the accompanying workbooks, and we have already experienced some significant shifts in our lives due to applying the principles within this book. We strongly recommend you purchase both the book and companion workbook. Happy reading!!!
