"Ever felt like you weren't reaching your goals as fast as you
would like? HARD GoalsK shows you how to change your thinking and
get on the path to tremendous achievement!" --Marshall Goldsmith,
world-renowned executive coach and author of the New York Times
bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There "Hard
Goals is full of fascinating insights regarding how to get yourself
to achieve things you never thought possible, and Murphy's key
ideas have strong research support. . . . If you want to achieve
something great or important in your life, this is the book for
you." --Edwin A. Locke, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of
Maryland "If you want a mediocre life, set ho-hum goals. If you
want a life filled with excellence and meaning, set HARD Goals.
This book shows you how to set HARD Goals and love every minute of
achieving them. The end result? Winning in life and unparalleled
fulfillment." Lyle Nelson, four-time Olympian and author of Spirit
of Champions "Every company has goals these days. So why do most
goals fall short? Why do leaders keep setting the same failed goals
year after year? HARD Goals gives you the cutting-edge science to
engage every employee in pursuing and achieving extraordinary
goals. No more procrastination, foot-dragging, or giving up. With
HARD Goals, your organization will achieve astonishing results.
Every CEO, manager, and employee needs to read this book!" Kevin M.
Andrews, President, SmartBen Want to increase sales? Get promoted?
Change the world? There's a goal for that . . . Steve Jobs, Jeff
Bezos, the school teacher next door who amassed a million-dollar
fortune . . . Did these people succeed because they were more
motivated or because they were more disciplined? The answer to both
questions is yes--but not in the ways you might think. Anyone can
achieve extraordinary things. The secret is setting goals that test
the very limits of your abilities. In Hard Goals, Mark Murphy, the
acclaimed author of Hundred Percenters, explains the science behind
getting from where you are to where you want to be in your career,
business, and life. Leadership IQ, Murphy's top-rated leadership
training consultancy, studied nearly 5,000 workers from virtually
every field and found that extraordinary goals--the kind that got
America to the moon and back, developed the iPod, created
nanotechnology, and helped individuals overcome tremendous personal
adversity--stimulate and engage the brain in ways that are
profoundly different from the goals most people set. Research
conducted for this book revealed that people who set Hard goals are
up to 75 percent more fulfilled than people with easy goals. In
these pages, Mark Murphy explains how success, and the satisfaction
it brings, comes from knowing how to set goals that are:
Heartfelt--have an emotional attachment, "scratch an existential
itch." Animated--motivated by a vision, that movie that plays over
and over in your mind. Required--imbued with such a sense of
urgency that you have no other choice but to start acting on them
right here, right now. Difficult--the greatest achievements come
from the toughest challenges--but they also leave you feeling
stronger, smarter, and more fulfilled. People set goals all the
time, but the majority end up unfulfilled or abandoned. With all
the challenges facing us today, we could use a little more
achievement. Hard Goals can help us get there by offering the hard
science and practical techniques to conquer procrastination and
unlock your brain's potential for realizing your goals.
