Your mindset is the ceiling on your performance. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O'Gorman breaks down the undeniable truth that your results, behaviours, and outcomes will never exceed the quality of your thinking.

Key Takeaways:

• Why your mindset sets the limits on your performance

• How to identify and interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns
