Are You Accountable?

The Millionaire Woman Club is growing! I am glowing and raving about the incredible women I get to meet. Each one shares their light of knowledge and expertise. The energy is amazing! I could bask in it every day. I had asked the participants to develop an accountability relationship with their partners during a couple exercises that I facilitated.

Accountability = Commitment.

An accountability partner is someone you make a commitment to. A commitment to complete a task or exercise that will take you one step closer to your achieving your goal. This is why having an exercise buddy or partner is so crucial to many people's fitness goals. You have someone to challenge you to higher heights. Having an accountability partner, helps you stay true to your word. Why is it we break commitments to ourselves before we break a commitment to others? Is it because they depend on you or you are afraid that you will hurt their feelings? We must realize that not only should we make commitments to ourselvess but we must also keep them. Your commitment to yourself is most important. When you value your commitments, people also know that you will value theirs.

Accountability partners are people who:
  • you share and review your goals with. help you keep your commitments
  • you share and celebrate your wins with
  • you set your intentions for the week with
  • challenge you when you do not follow through
  • keep you motivated to keep your commitments to yourself and others
  • help you achieve maximum results
  • brainstorm through roadblocks
  • share advice
  • encourage you when you feel that you are ready to give up!
Accountability partners are NOT people who:
  • place judgment on you
  • breach your confidence
  • assess you
Accountability partners are ultimately there to hold you accountable for your own success! What are you doing to achieve your success?
