How Goal Achieving REALLY Works
I promised you in the last video I would explain the process of how goal setting, and far more important, goal ACHIEVING actually works. This is the mystery of the ‘secret’ REVEALED.
This is how the Law of Attraction really works. It is not some mysterious, esoteric voodoo, as it sometimes sounds like, as it is being described. It’s far simpler and more practical than that.
By the end you will say… “Ah, I get it.” And, “Now… I know how to make it work.”
More good stuff to discover in this video:
- What 3 boys out hiking can teach you about kicking butt in a competition.
- 5 BIG reasons why most goal setting attempts fail, miserably. Don’t make these mistakes. Ouch! And costly.
- Oh, and what Reggie Hammond (as played by Eddie Murphy) can teach you about proclaiming your goals.
In the next (and final… don’t be sad) video I will show you how to I can help navigate you through all the potential pitfalls to insure you have the precise formula for achieving the boldest goals and wildest ambitions you can dream up.

Darren,
You made a great analogy to Law of Attraction with red blue test. The best one yet.
Early this year my physician diagnosed me with SIA (stress-induced asthma). Nothing terrible, but definitely not something I was willing to accept as an incurable condition. Armed with a “I’ll show him” attitude I drafted a short list of physical activities/exercises I would perform and goals (with due dates) related to each activity. The list had a 5 mile run, something I have never done, and I set to accomplish it in 6 months. In fact I have not ran in more than 15 years. So, this was a big goal starring at me from my computer’s screen like a barrel of a gun.
I have planned accomplishing my goal by charting a schedule I would abide by weekly and getting a trusted tool that would keep me motivated, Cardio Trainer app for my smart phone (it tracks pace, distance, calories, dates, etc.).
During the first two months of running I’ve mastered to get up to 1.5 miles without feeling like throwing up and no taste of blood in my mouth (sorry for unpleasant details). Then suddenly, I had a break through and jumped to 2.13 miles. A week later I decided to just go for it, run a certain route without looking at the meter and see if I can complete it. The result astonished me. I had ran 4.7 miles and felt fine.
It took me another week to get up to 6 miles. I’ve hit my goal that seemed so distant in less than half of the time I’ve thought it would take. Now what has really shocked me was how easy it was to accomplish once I had the momentum. Once I had it there was no stopping me. June 13th, less than 5 months after I started running, I ran my first 1/2 Marathon, 13.1 miles.
Although I have not completely eradicated SIA, I have become more fit and confident in my physical ability and mental toughness. This experience showed me that I can accomplish just about anything I set my mind on, plan, track, and work hard for.

Thank you for showing the path, Darren. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to you for getting me hooked on reading SUCCESS, listening to Jim Rohn’s lectures, reading books you suggested, TCE, etc.
It would have taken me years, if at all, to learn about goal-setting and all-goals-related processes if one day in December of 2008 you did not attend a webinar as a guest speaker and excited me about reading SUCCESS and working though Design Your Best Year Yet (this book has really helped me focus on what is and what is not important and how to focus on the important things).
It may sound like I am kissing-ass (pardon my language), but you were REALLY instrumental in making a huge difference in my life.
To your success in helping so many others make a profound difference in their lives.
P.S. the ripple effect: I have hooked 3 people (I’ve introduced it to many, but it has seriously worked for 3 so far) your strategies by studying TCE, SUCCESS, etc. So, your work just keeps giving. And that is just beyond profound.

Having a “Houston” control tower and increasing my Reinforcements have been critical towards achieving some of my milestones this year. I started with limited understanding about blogging and social media – and was very hesitant about being an entrepreneur – in this my second “return”. While I didn’t achieve the revenue goals I set for this year – I did achieve much more than what can be recorded on an income statement. I met numerous people who became solid and inspiring business contacts in my life, spoke on several panels (including moderating my first!), hosted workshops and was able to share my thoughts as a guest writer on 2 blogs – all due to having a system for tracking my goals and adjusting them. I give huge credit to having two accountability partners that kept me moving when things got tough. A huge thanks to them and a big thanks to you for capturing its importance in this video.

Hey Darren, this was great information to follow and I see where I need to improve. Thanks a bunch!!!
[Reply]
Awesome information, Darren! As they say, “it’s not how you start, but how you finish.” I like the point of having a way to navigate through to the end goal.
I recently started, and completed the P90X workout program…90 days of intense workout and diet with amazing results. Something I couldn’t accomplish in my 42 years of living, and now I’m in the best shape of my life, all within 90 days.
I started with building a desire so strong that I had to follow through…then I found a good plan (the P90X program, along with a plan to stick to it). I kept a close watch of my results, and if I felt like I was losing momentum, I took action to get back on track. The end result is I didn’t miss a single workout in the entire 90 day program, and I’ve changed my life for the better in many ways, besides just being in great physical shape.
Thanks for the great lessons!!!

Hi Darren,
I’ve been following you on Twitter & Facebook for a while now but this is the first video I’ve seen from you. AMAZING!
I’ve never been so happy or done so much since I found coaching. I set myself some major goals, and with coaches helping me along the way have achieved more than I could ever have imagined already.
I really believe in the power of goal setting. Long term goals to keep you heading in the right direction, as you described so well, and then breaking it down into smaller steps. I also believe that having a mentor, guidance and/or someone to check-in with is often the catalyst you need or the motivational input required to keep you going.
I am already looking forward to the next instalment, and will be sharing this with my clients and followers.
Thanks again.
[Reply]
Dear Mr. Hardy,
First I want to thank you for helping so many people, including my humble self towards going forward in life to true, earnest and consistent success.
Secondly, I want to wish you and all yours a wondrous Holiday Season and a Healthy and Happy New Year.
Thirdly, as always you could not be more correct. Goals are the catalyst of everything. The word GOAL rhymes with many words. I thought the following statement to be very apropos:
“If you want to acquirer control, self-control as well as want to rock and roll by not just having a little piece but the whole….set your goal and follow the steps to help yourself reach the top of the pole.”
Thank you again Mr. Hardy. God Bless you and all yours for all that you have done for me and countless others.
Sincerely,
Alexander

Oh, I so love this.
In reviewing 2010, one of the things I realized is that I really stretched this year. It was a year of trying to achieve ‘goals’ that were based in ‘expectations’. I had a really crappy years. Sure, I achieved quite a bit, but I felt insecure, uncomfortable and generally lousy all year.
Prior to seeing this vid, I thought I needed lower expectations or creates more easily attained goals. I see now that goals + expectations = a kind of insane wish list. Sure I was doing the work (I always do the work), but the scattered nature of my goals left me running from here to there and everywhere else. Lofty goals and high expectations with no grounding have led me to feeling really overwhelmed and inadequate.
Time to get grounded, get back to basics, and get moving in my direction. I’m looking forward to the next installment. Thanks big D!

Hi Claudia
I saw your post & I can relate. For one thing, it can be hard to set goals because it requires predicting what should be possible based on the effort we can put in. This is especially true if you are an entrepreneur in a start up company with no one else working with you. For example, this year some of my work included registering a patent. I had never done this before in my life, & vastly underestimated the time commitment. Doing a patent search and reading the results took an incredibly long time!
Also, goals often need to be re-adjusted as we go along. I have often set more goals than I will probably attain, & the ones that are less important sometimes weed themselves out. Sometimes when a goal doesn’t fit into my life, I only know it when I keep failing to spend the time on it. Or, it may be more appropriate to make it next year’s goal. But, my not reaching that goal is just feedback to me, & not always a failure of effort on my part. Perhaps my goal wasn’t realistic yet, I needed more preparation before starting it, or for any number of reasons.
You say in passing that you achieved “quite a bit”, perhaps the year wasn’t as bad as you thought. Was it better than 2009? What would it have been like if you had not set any goals, but let events take you in a direction you didn’t choose? I didn’t achieve everything I wanted this year (to say the least), and am a bit frustrated, but I do feel good looking at my calendar in which I kept track of what I did accomplish. The fact that I consistently tracked a whole year of effort is an accomplishment in itself for someone like me. I thought I would fall off the wagon by March!
You mentioned you felt bad all year. I used to think that if I was working my hardest, I had to feel intensely uncomfortable. I thought that if I felt happy & relaxed, I must be in “fun” mode & not at my most productive. I had never challenged that way of thinking until I read Tony Robbins, who talked about mental states. He believes we are at our most productive when we create a good mental state for ourselves. You may be familiar with his work, but if not, his books Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power are a “must read”.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. I am guessing you had a better year than you are thinking.

Hello Darren,
I have been receiving the magazine for over a year and every issue gets better, you have leaders on the cover that seem to be on cue for what is going on at that time.
We all need to set goals, but more important to act on them. If you write a goal and do nothing about it, you then wasted your time and you are in the same place as you started. I like to break my goals into smaller modules and reward myself by reaching them.
Happy Holliday and may all your wishes come true.
God Bless

Darren,
This is probably the best video I’ve seen explaining the benefits of goal setting. The five pitfalls in goal setting are also very true, especially the fourth one, lacking the “houston”, which is probably the most important thing in a successful goal achievement process.
Great video, can’t wait for the one next week.
[Reply]
This is simply amazing. Thanks Darren.

Wao.
[Reply]
I am seeing it!
It started for me after I picked up a copy of Success when I saw Dave Ramsey on the cover. Hey, I like Dave, let’s see what this magazine in all about. BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE!
Now I am starting to see it. I am beginning to see that these simple universal principles, if learned and implimented, are what it takes to be successful. I guess I used to figure it was a crap shoot and some became successful and some didn’t. But I hold the power to decide if I will be successful.
Thank you so much for introducing me to Jim Rohn, what a giant of a man! Now that Jim has moved on to the next stage I am glad to have you as my mentor Darren.
I know this is not what you are looking for, but being as I am, I couldn’t help but notice that the framed copy of Succes between Dave Ramsey and Jim Collins needs to be shifted to the right a little. I think it is Anthony Hopkins. Well, maybe he gets along better with Dave than Jim. Also, I can’t help but wonder, “Did Darren do that on purpose and there is some type of principle that I am supposed to learn here”.

Thanks for being a good community leader Sasha!
Akrum, here is a great success point to garner from this and one I am constantly trying to get others to understand: success principles are old. There is nothing “new”. There is no hidden secret or needed revelation, invention of new knowledge or scientific breakthrough necessary. It’s also not what you know, it’s what you DO with what you know.
My greatest value is as curator, distiller and advisor. To try and filter, simplify and reinforce the true fundamental principles of that it really takes to succeed and most importantly provide a plan of ACTION so people can transform knowledge into results in THEIR life.
In this day and age we don’t lack knowledge, ideas or information, we lack CLARITY and we lack the tangible action steps, made accountable so they can actually produce fruit in your life.

There ain’t new “Fundamentals” you’re right Darren, but i remember that the examples you used were even used by other “self-improvement” gurus.. literally used?!!

i see all guys, are so grateful to you and saying all those thank yous and stuff, so I’m taking the opposition role here
Here in Egypt, we know Brian Tracy, quite well, we even have a local copy of those “gurus” namely, Ibrahim El Fekky. Do you know him?
They happen to be all the same, nothing new said… I like Jim Rohn, because he came up with new philosophies, but his lectures, were sickeningly repetitious!!

Hi Darren – I love the way you start this video and completely agree that it is about the focus on the end result, it is also about clear communication to your brain and your example about the 3 guys out hiking demonstrates this perfectly, in principle I agree with the reasons you put forward for why people fail but I think if you review what you are saying you are actually promoting the process not the end result as a way to get to the end result. I love what Robert Fritz writes about achieving goals and William Whiteclouds work around creating end results intuitively and using the imaginative process to achieve those end results. This is what I am now using to create in my life and how I am supporting my clients to create their businesses. The fundamental difference is that the goals that we create ‘ring true’ but they dont necessarily make sense to the logical brain!

In the past I didn’t know what goals in my business were SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time frame attached – for anyone reading this who doesn’t already know the acronym), and I needed to feel that my goals were SMART before I could commit to them. I was in sales, and the market could be boom or bust for any given year, which could suddenly change what goals were realistic. I kept thinking, what is the use of these goals if the market changes? As a result, I operated on no goals for several years.
Now, as an entrepreneur in a start up, in a new industry, it is very difficult to know what goals are realistic and what time frame should be put on them. Often I have found that many tasks take much longer than I could have known. But throughout 2010 I kept a detailed calendar to help me track my efforts and see how much time I spent on various business and personal goals. Almost every day, I re-read a short list of my goals, and this has helped me keep focused and working on each item. I can see a big impact, and will continue the practice in 2011.
The difference after 2010 is that now, if I don’t know what goals are realistic, I will at least set something as a goal. I still benefit by making an attempt to predict what can be done, making an educated guess on the time frame, and tracking my efforts. This is the best I can do, so even if my goals aren’t perfect I am at the point where I can commit to them and move forward without waivering.

Good Afternoon Mr Hardy,
Six months ago I realized that I was becoming very unhappy at work because our company’s culture had changed to a very gutless version of “do everything possible not to be sued or fined”. This as you know leads to an environment of fear and intimidation. After studying your works and the works of the people you recommend, I decided to approach my job as if I was self employed. I determined my priorities and my focus points to be the following: 70% of my time and efforts are to be spent on face to face interactions with customers, 20% of my time and efforts are to be spent on employee empowerment and development, and 10% of my time and efforts are to be spent on networking with the key players inside and outside of my organization that can create positive outcomes. Once I got that, my life improved dramatically. With your help I became so confident that I requested and received the opportunity to speak at my company’s regional meeting. I was absolutely determined to teach all of the folks at the upper levels that if they kept on with the philosophies that they were following, they would become replaceable. (Anyone can become a compliance officer, but only the passionate few who create real and lasting value can be truly irreplaceable). The short version is that I hit them with everything that I had and the message was very well received. The next day I received an invitation to speak at the corporate office next summer and share my message there. I will make you proud for sure!! It is vital that we are crystal clear on what we stand for and that we are focused on value creation even if we have to chance losing the popularity contest. What I found was that many shared my concerns, but few shared the courage of my convictions. Thanks to you and your colleagues for the inspiration!
I hope you and your blog readers have a super magical Christmas!
Your humble servant,
Corey

Hi Darren!
I like the way to put the ‘law of attraction’ test. Back here in my country, we have plenty of ‘law of attraction’ gurus who teaches us some chantings, affirmations, mysterious whatever stuff without any sense of directions or worse, some REAL needed actions!
I like the way you portrays 3 boys go out hiking and that 5 big reasons why most goal settings fails, because I have failed most of it.
After surviving downsizing, failed in my network marketing business and small-tiny businesses and becoming broke again, I found myself a new job and worked hard to improve myself. I also starting to do a part time job in sales with the hope that soon this part time will become full time and I can say good bye to my 9 to 5.
I cant wait for the next video!!!

Goal setting – for me I can do anything I want to. I have a pretty good reputation and I always follow through – my problem – setting goals for myself and not for other people. I have written a book, completed a patent, ran a business, ran a marathon, quit smoking: I take your formula or a similar one and plug in – it is easy. HOWEVER
I am learning that I can not do the work for others – nor do I want to. I am focusing on myself – only myself and I find it harder. As the leader of my family – business -organization – industry – shifting to my focus is really different. I am not use to 100% me, neither are those around me.
When I get close to doing something for myself and I know I am close – the fear takes over and than I go focus on someone else’s goals or ideas. I sabotage my success when I really start to taste it – pace myself – enjoy it – slow it down. Instead I run harder & faster and than I get so tired I drop everything.
This is my year – so darren I am getting ready – done a lot of work in 2010 when I started your next best 10 years with you – so i am ready for the hard stuff. Last year I hit all three goals & targets and I am ready to continue.

[Reply]
So you asked for our goal/achievement that we made & did at some point. It probably is trivial to some, but thinking about it was an “eye-opener” today.
As a junior in HS (20+ yrs ago) it had been a rough year — getting ready for college, rough breakup with boyfriend of 2 years – typical teenager stuff. In talking to someone at that point in my life, they asked me “what is something you want to do but aren’t sure you can?” I decided that I wanted to be on the pom-pon/cheer squad for my senior year. I had been on the cheer squad once in HS but the pom-pon squad was our dance squad – they performed at half time & pep rallies. To me it was a BIG deal. So, the friend said “why don’t you go for it?” I remember thinking “what happens if…..?” but then I thought “what happens if I don’t…..?”
For about 6 weeks that was what I focused on – I practiced DAILY my routines, asked a friend from another school to come help me with my routine & evaluate me. I bet you can guess what happened…..I made the squad!
For 2010 Ive had “goals” but I think they’ve been almost a wishlist. I did your “Best Year Ever” and that has been amazing since it was a transformation on the inside. BUT….I think my head knowledge needs to become heart knowledge this year. I read another post on here & while I didn’t achieve my goals for 2010, I did better than 2009.
So, back to my original point…I made my goals last year but I was looking down at the ground & not up at the tree! If I did it once to make a cheerleading squad, I know I can do it again to make 2011 an AMAZING year!
Thank you for all you do Darren! The reinforcement and reminder (aka kick in the butt) comes just when I need it!

While I have always followed the advice of eating an elephant one bite at a time, I can see where some of my old personal goals (which I am still doing) of learning French and how to play the piano could use some reworking with a Houston control and fresh reinforcements. And now to start using this in my biz? Look out world!

Two years ago, I set a goal to have a gorgeous happy wedding in a Sonoma, CA winery and an amazing honeymoon in Hawaii, this happened this 2010. I also set a goal to live closer to the beach, have less commute to work, increase income to over $100K and pay myself first to 15% every dollar I earn into my retirement accounts. I’m now living these goals. I wrote my goals almost every day, created a vision board, carried many $100 bills in my wallet, worked my butt off, and celebrated along the way (thanks to the beach and spa!). I feel grateful and happy living a healthy, happy, exciting and abundant life!
It takes me daily personal growth and actions to live my goals. I love goal-setting, its journey and celebrating my results!
Thank you Darren and everyone!

Thank you Darren! I honestly feel I wish I set bigger goals every year so now I’m setting BHAGs! I am here where I am meant to be and grateful for my success and lessons.
My next is to create my over 6-figure business and free myself from corporate or work there once a week just because I want to. I am grateful to have a great career where I get paid to help people but there is an entrepreneur goddess in me that must be expressed. For 2011, I also would like to travel in Italy, speak Italian, take my parents to Hawaii, and give more to charities. My intention is to reach the point when I can give $100,000 per year in charities. I know this would take me to grow bigger and stronger. I believe I found a female entrepreneur mentor that I can model. With her, you and Tony Robbins and Oprah, I will do better each day. I didn’t see all your videos but saw the one you shared today and invested in your course. I thought to myself “if Darren made $1 million a year, hmmm I can do the same” applying his principles. Thank you for sharing your love and light!
Success is my next fav magazine to Oprah:-)
PS: In your mp3, you mentioned about designing the life I want first instead of writing a bunch of goals prior to designing a lifestyle I want to live. You are right. That’s why I live close to the beach because it inspires and energizes me to grow myself. Now I wonder how would it be like to live oceanfront:-)

Darren,
This week I have sat down not only with my business associats on what I want to achive in my business, but I also talked to my wife what she wanted out of my business(Network Marketing) she wanted a new Carpet in the dinning area. We have worked out how much it will cost and how long roughly to get it by the actions I have to do to achive this. This will also help my wife understand how to achieve goals and understand my business better.
Thank you.
