You're a dreamer and a doer. You set big audacious goals and actually go for them. But, every now and then you find yourself slacking a bit. It happens to the best of us.
However, if you find yourself slacking more often than you should, you need some accountability.
You see, I'm a dreamer and a doer, too. And, from time to time I find myself falling off the bandwagon. What's helped me push through and achieve my goals (and recently, start my own home based business) is public accountability.
It's true – accountability works.
If you tell people about your goals and they ask how you're doing, you are much, much more likely to actually push through and achieve them.
And the thing is, it doesn’t matter what your goals are. Money, business, parenting, career, spiritual – accountability is going to help.If you’ve been struggling with your goals you need accountability.
Don't know where to find accountability? Here are 5 places you can look:
1. Announce Your Goals to Family
Who cares about your well-being more than your family? Probably no one. That's why looking for accountability within your family is the best way to start.
If you have a spouse, cousin, or best friend who you think would make regular check-ins with you talk to that person about your goals. Even better, if you can convince your new accountability partner to create goals of their own. This way you can cheer each other on.
2. Post Your Goals on Facebook
If you're like me and don't really have a certain family member to hold you accountable you could always post your goals to Facebook.
I'll admit; this one's for the brave. But, if you have a lot of Facebook friends posting your goals for everyone to see could be an awesome way to keep yourself accountable. After all, you're not going to want to publicly announce that you gave up on your goals.
3. Email an Online Acquaintance
Have you exchanged emails with someone you’ve met on a forum or blog? The internet is one of the best ways to connect with like-minded people.
I actually met my accountability buddy online. We started exchanging emails after getting acquainted through my blog and have been doing so for a few months. And, I am so glad we do!
Sometimes it's really, really hard to meet someone who thinks like you in your day-to-day life. But the internet is a huge place! Those people who think like you and have similar ambitions are probably hanging out in the same place that you are.
You might be surprised how nice it is to have an online accountability partner!
4. Join a Forum or Mastermind Group
There are several internet forums and mastermind group that you can join to find accountability. If you look hard enough, you're bound to find a dozen or so on the subject of your goal.
Forums are also a great place to find like-minded people. You'll have the ability to share your goals with other members and to also bounce ideas off of them. Through a forum you might meet the perfect accountability partner.
5. Start a Blog
One of the absolute best ways that I have remained accountable is by announcing my goals and dreams on my blog. I started doing this before anyone ever read it and was instantly motivated every time I hit the "publish" button.
Whether you are trying to start your own business, grow your blog, pay down debt, be a better parent, or anything else you could possibly think of; the power of accountability will push you closer and closer to reaching your goals.
I also think that the more accountability you have in your life, the better. No need to limit accountability to one source. Push yourself a little outside of your comfort zone and just go for it!
Do you have an accountability partner? If so how did you find him/her?
