Passions That Pay

So how are you doing on your New Year’s resolution so far? Are you still working hard on the goals you have set for yourself? We are now 6 days into the New Year and I can guarantee some people will already have given up. Whether it is business or personal goals, sticking to our commitments can be tough.

So what can we employ to help us get to where we want to go, to consistently make the best choices, to keep working towards instead of away from our goals? Accountability!

There are ways we can hold ourselves accountable - we can make a check list, we can have various consequences - rewards for completion and punishments for non compliance.

We can also have an accountability partner or group. This is something I provide within the Skype room I run . We have Accountability Thursdays where we commit to completing goals that day and are rewarded with virtual cocktails or virtual mugs of cocoa. It is both a way to be accountable to the room and to celebrate when we have completed all our work. I find myself having very productive Thursdays. It is a case of peer pressure working for our good. On Mondays, following our voice brainstorming chats we will be posting our weekly goals on our blog This serves not only as accountability but also a way of letting everyone know if there is anything they can do to help - which is networking at it’s best.

So if you are need of accountability in your life then join us in the free Skype room or find people in your life who will serve this role in a positive but firm manner.
