Finding yourself an accountability partner is a GAME CHANGER.
It takes your skills to new heights when you partner up with someone who has a similar focus and commitment level as you. It’s easy to start something but we often get pulled in another direction. We lose the consistency and motivation to keep progressing. This often leads to a decline in momentum and eventually withers to nothing.
If there’s something you really want to succeed in, I’m sure there’s someone out there with the same goal that could also use a little nudge. You can also find or start accountability groups!
You have to ask yourself, “How serious am I about bringing my vision to life?”
It all comes back to the commitment piece. If you don’t know yet, I’m BIG on commitment not motivation. It’s a lot easier to commit to a plan when you have someone going through it with you and you make a promise to see it through.
When you’re both present to challenge one another and celebrate those wins, it makes a huge difference. Ultimately, the human race does work better together!
Types of activities you may want an accountability partner for:
- Working Out
- Blogging
- Business Venture
- Waking up early – yes, I’ve done this before and it was actually worked!
- Sports
- Leisure Activities – Hiking, etc.
- Clean Eating
- Grocery Shopping/Meal Prepping
- Meditation
Tips to be a successful accountability partner:
- Set a consistent time/place for meetings and decide how frequent – weekly, biweekly, etc. Virtual options are great and convenient when that works!
- Show up – Never no show an accountability partner. That’s just rude and shows you are not committed to the cause.
- Be flexible – Life happens and sometimes there’s schedule conflicts so be adaptable and understanding.
- Assign homework – Ahhh I know, you will thank me later! It can be small to do list like writing a new blog post, creating the grocery list /eating diary, etc.
A special thanks to my accountability buddy, Ciara, for always cheering me on and inspiring me to dream bigger!
Mark my words everyone, we are just getting started! #KeepOnKeepingOn
