The Powerful Forces of Habits

“The individual who wants to reach the top in business must

appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand

that practices are what creates habits. He must be quick to

break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt

those practices that will become that habits that help him

achieve the success he desires.”

J. Paul Getty 1892 – 1982, Founder of Getty Oil

Overtime a professional athletes and business professional can get away from the fundaments and form bad habits.

In sports the coach’s will work with the athlete to replace the bad habit and to return them back to the productive fundaments and to what they call the proper mechanics.  The athlete that can successful break their bad habits becomes productive on the field of play.
