Your old habits could actually get you only so far.

Everyone reads, but what you are reading is very much important. Some read news, fiction, novels, comics, stories, articles, and even memes. Make a list of books/white papers/articles/blogs that you want to read towards your goal. Make it a plan and make sure you measure it. Reading as a habit will help you in a longer run.
