5 Benefits of Accountability to Achieve Your Goalslifecoach2women.com /successstore/blog/5-benef its-of -accountability- to-achieve-your-goals/

You’ve set your goals…now what? What do you plan to do differently this year to ensure that you actually reach yourgoals? Are you tired of just carrying them over from year to year…slightly disappointed for lack of achievement, yet alittle bit hopeful that this year will be different?

Take some time to consider for a moment… “How can I make this year better than the last and actually accomplish mygoals?”

As entrepreneurs, we are passionate about our business and very hopeful to achieve great things. Whether you’re asolo-preneur or have your own team, you start out believing you can manage it all. You’ve made your goals, set astrategy…but as the days go by…you have yet to implement your plan of action.

The actual work of carrying out your plan from beginning to end alludes you…and you’re quickly starting to see thatyou’re spinning your wheels and still in the same predicament you were in last year.

There may be many reasons why you haven’t been able to implement your plan or reach your goals but the mainreason is the lack of accountability.

Accountability is what separates the super successful entrepreneurs and leaders from the mediocre.

I’m sure you can relate to trying to reach the same goal over and over again…by yourself with no help and getting little

to no results. Let’s take your health for instance (since this is a common New Year resolution). Studies show that theperson who actually achieves weight loss and transition into a healthier lifestyle is the person who connected into someform of accountability program. It could be hiring a trainer, joining a health club, hiring a nutritionist, etc. It’s somethingabout having to answer to another person for your actions that motivates you to stay on track with your goals.

Just as we need accountability to reach our health goals, we need accountability to run successful businesses.

2013 is the year that you can live your dreams and become the successful entrepreneur you want to be. It could be youryear of tremendous change and gain for your business.

Your ultimate success in 2013 depends heavily on your accountability system that you have in place. You needsomeone to help you take a dream, develop it into goals, work out a strategy and execute a plan. Otherwise you runthe risk of going through the next 12 months getting nothing but the same results of past years…

There should be someone in your circle of influence that you can confide in about your goals and enlist help from—preferably someone who has already achieved what you are aiming to do.

Successful business owners most often enlist a coach or participate in group coaching programs to gain accountabilityand reach their goals. The benefits of accountability relations are many but I’ll give five here:

5 Benef its To Having Accountabilit y.
