Accountabilibuddy

We all have goals.  We all want to achieve things.  Wanting and doing are 2 separate animals!

I have recently contracted an "Accountabilibuddy" (unofficial name...) to hold me accountable for following through with actions that will help me achieve personal and professional goals.

He's similar to a personal trainer you'd get at the gym.

Once a week we review my goals and my action plan to get there.  Each week he goes down a checklist and asks me if I followed through with xyz...

I have found that just knowing I have to answer to him pushes me to take the right steps, and do the proper actions to move in a direction of success even if at the moment I don't feel like it.  My pride won't let me give him excuses and it motivates me to know I'm constantly improving and becoming a better mom, coach, person, business owner and friend!

I can't remember where I heard this but it made an impact - It's easier to do the right thing than make excuses why you didn't.

Human nature is to procrastinate, make excuses, take the easy way.  So - sometimes we need to motivate ourselves with rewards and/or consequences for taking the right steps to accomplish our goals!  I highly recommend finding an accountabilibuddy to push you to the next level!
