What would happen to your production if you had an accountability partner?

There is a 34% chance of achieving a goal if you set it and write it down. Are you impressed? 34%? However, if you set a goal, write it down, formulate daily action items, share the action items with a friend/coach/manager AND report in on your progress, your chances of achieving the goal goes up to 76%. That is more impressive; right?

For two months, I have been writing my daily action plans and sharing with my coach. My achievements have accelerated noticeably. I have gone gluten-free, I am exercising more, making more phone calls, setting more appointments, facilitated a successful webinar, have gone days without looking at the news. Those are just a few.

I challenge you to find someone who you will commit to be accountable to on a daily basis. Oh, did I mention, I signed a contract with my coach? Yes, so on the days when I don’t feel like doing something I committed to, I think of the contract. It is a real kick in the pants!

Here is the link on the research referred to in the first paragraph.
