The 9th Stratum

Your Guide to High Performance

By: Aaron Salko

Narrated by: Aaron Salko, Kelly Johnson

Performance. It’s a word that many of us take for granted. Although the word may seem simple, when we add the words negative, positive, low, or high, it becomes something that can have a major impact on our future.

Why then does our own performance take a back seat to the daily grind of career and life? Why is it that all of us do not perform at our highest potential possible? The answer is basic in delivery but complex in execution—we simply do not know how or where to start.

Welcome to the 9th Stratum: Your guide to high performance.

The 9th Stratum concept was developed over two decades through the study, testing, and application of techniques and practices observed in low to high performers and validated with real world results. This revealed the specific performance-based skills, behaviors, routines, and habits that are practiced daily by high-performers from all industries. Understanding and applying these skills is critical for those who have yet to establish consistent goal achievement—and the success that follows.

In The 9th Stratum, Aaron Salko provides the backed-by-science knowledge of how high performers operate, as well as tactical applications that you can begin to use immediately in both your career and life. What is written on these pages within will not only make you better, it will also change the way you think and act. The choice is yours: embrace the knowledge and transcend your limitations, or simply skim the surface and remain on your current path. But know this—whether you fully commit or merely scan the pages, this audiobook will leave a lasting mark on your journey, forever elevating your performance to higher stratums.

Are you ready to unlock your true potential?
Ask yourself: "Who do I aspire to be?"
If you can visualize your aspiration, then this book is for you.

BONUS MATERIAL: This audiobook features a Q&A with author Aaron Salko and his business partner, Kelly Johnson.

Amazing read for moms, educators and beyond!

As a former educator, wife and mom managing a household this book spoke to me on many levels. While I may not be in the business world, the themes of organization, planning for the week, delegation, dressing for achievement (oldest children graduating college soon)and managing nerves were relatable. The emphasis on personal growth hit home-it’s an area I often struggle with. Highly recommend this book whether you’re in business or juggling the chaos of daily life.

Refreshing take on achieving peak performance.

Aaron and Kelly walk you through the 9th Stratum thought process in a way that encourages you to join them. The Q and A after the chapters helps to solidify the message of the chapter. Aaron reminds you that the work is hard, and you will have ups and downs in implementing the 9th Stratum process. I’d encourage you to give this book a listen, take notes, then listen again.

Good listen…to improve performance

I liked the actionable and attainable process to improve your performance. The conversations at the end of each chapter are entertaining and provide more insight and review of the prior chapter. Highly recommend you listen to this book.
