Who Holds You Accountable?

I signed up for a personal coaching program last year. The guarantee is that if after a year I haven't achieved my goal, they'll continue to work with me until I achieve my goal. With a guarantee like that, how can I resist?

It has been a year now. Have I achieved my goal? I've been making steady progress, but I'm not quite there yet.

I took time to stop and reflect on what I've achieved in the past year. What I noticed is that I'm more likely to make progress if I have someone holding me accountable. For example, if I tell you that I'm going to submit a press release by next week, and I know that next week you're going to ask me if I've done it, I'd definitely make sure I've done it before I see you the following week.

Having someone hold me accountable helps move me forward. So every week, I send an email to the resource line and let them know happens in the past week, and what I would like to be accountable for in the next week. I must say, people at the resource line are incredibly supportive.

So my question to you is: Who holds you accountable? If your answer is no one, I'd suggest you find someone supportive - a friend, a spouse, a sibling, a business partner - who would hold you to a high standard and cheer you on while you work on achieving your goals.

To me, that has been priceless in propelling me forward.

How To Manifest Your Goals

Did another seminar at SuccessEsource last Wednesday. This one was better than the first teleseminar. I think Dev is getting used to delivering a seminar over the phone.

Dev talked about why many people don't achieve their goals (ever failed at a new year resolution?) and how to manifest what you want in your life.

Very enlightening stuff. The recording of the teleseminar, "Why Goal Setting Sucks!", is available.
