In this episode, I sat down with Shane Perry to uncover the real difference between winning and taking the easy way out. Shane is a performance consultant, coach, and entrepreneur who’s spent decades helping people break out of their comfort zones. We dive into his favorite quote—"You can either win or take the easy way out"—and talk about how busy work, comfort zones, and justifying our habits can keep us from reaching our real goals. Shane shares practical insights about staying consistent, working smart (not just staying busy), and what it really means to "win" in life, business, and health. If you want to know why most people quit on their goals or how to truly make progress, this episode has something for you. Join me to hear Shane’s wisdom on goal setting, comfort zones, and staying on track, and find out the surprising mindset that will keep you winning—no matter what you’re working towards!
