184: How to pull off a one-quarter turnaround like the Patriots


Listen Later

When was the last time you felt like it was impossible for you to win in business?

Well, the New England Patriots probably felt that at about 21-0 last weekend while my Atlanta Falcons were stomping them. They probably still felt it at 28-9 going into the fourth quarter.

But with only one quarter left and a whole lot of intensity and self-belief, they pulled off the biggest Super Bowl comeback of all time and broke some records along the way.

Hate to say it, but I’ve got a whole lot of respect for a team that can pull that off, even if they did take the Super Bowl from my team in the process.

In this episode, we examine what the Patriots did to win in that last quarter when all seemed lost.

We also guide you through some of our own fourth-quarter deficits—the moments in our lives and businesses when it seemed like a comeback was completely impossible. And yet we still managed to win.

Last, we teach you how to harness your own potential so you can do it yourself—all in 90 days—one quarter.

Make adjustments to your game to turn things around in one quarter
