58. Should You Aim for Better or Best?

As we’re in the midst of February, motivation can be low right now – so, considering the perspective of aiming for better or best is worth a look. In this episode, I discuss extrinsic versus intrinsic motivation, and how focusing on mastery instead of victory can make a difference. So, ask yourself: will you strive to be better or the best?
