The problem with bad habits is that they die really hard. Habits hang on, which is why it is such a benefit to develop some good ones.

A few months ago, I had a successful business and then it all ended. Suddenly, while I was standing in my kitchen 12 hrs before a flight to keynote a conference and speak to 400 people in Miami, I got an email and since that moment everything changed.

What I realized the other day is that I have the habits of a sports dynasty. I need to let those habits and that identity go and develop the habits of a team that nobody thinks deserves to make the playoffs.

I need to develop the mindset of a team that believes that they are capable of an upset and even more importantly, that an upset is necessary.

This requires new thinking, and new habits.

The King is dead.

Long live the New King.
