I was listening to an episode of Smartless podcast with guest Steph Curry, who plays for the Golden State Warriors. Steph shared that the coach had a goal for the team this year, to Win the Week. Meaning if they played 3 games and won 2 of them, they would win the week. And, if they did that throughout the season, they would put themselves in the playoffs and in position to win the championship. I love this idea of looking at the week and deciding what a win would look like. So, in this episode I do that and invite you to do the same!
