Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.

Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy.

Let's say you go to the mall and you want to get to the Farragamo store.

You're unfamiliar with the mall, so when you walk in, what do you do? Right, you go to the

directory. Now you see the store on the directory, but you still don't know how to get there until what.

Right, you find the big red dot that says, you are here. Once you know where you are, then you can start

charting your course to get to where you

want to go. See, I think all progress begins with first finding out where you are. People have these

lofty goals in their head, and they just wander the mall in our analogy here, aimlessly and just hoping they're going in the right direction.

So wherever you want to go, whatever your goal is, take a serious assessment of where you are now.

Let's say you want to get fit. Go stand in the mirror naked and take a good look.

Go for a run and time your mile speed.

Register your highest bench press and squat weight. Whatever exercise you're going to do to get fit,

get your baseline. You want to increase the intimacy in your marriage? Ask your spouse where he or

she would rate you on your marriage right now

on a scale of 1 to 10. Want to become financially independent? Pull up your accounts and do a current

financial statement. Whatever you're trying to improve, get your You Are Here metric to begin with.

Now with that orientation, you can start making intelligent progress towards where you want to end up.
