BONUS - π¨ Stack Small Gains!
βThe power of small gainsβ¦ Mentallyβ
Sir Dave Brailsford famously took over the British Cycling Team and improved a bunch of small insignificant things.
We will talk more about it, but here the psychological benefit of seeing small improvements is EVERYTHING in business, sports & life.
