When discussing accountability
partners in the realm of business,
Linda Galindo, author of The 85%
Solution: How Personal
Accountability Guarantees Success
(Jossey-Bass, 2009), states:
“Working with a partner prevents the
ready-fire-aim approach that a lot of
entrepreneurs use.”
Linda’s words can be directly
translated into our approach to
‘lifestyle changes’ in which we often go
on crash diets or train excessively once
or twice only to give up almost
immediately because it hasn’t been
thought through, and we don’t have a
definite plan that someone is holding
us to.
In order to avoid this and to make the
changes more about ‘lifestyle’ and
less about a ‘summer body’, the best
approach is to
have a partner in crime - someone to
go through it and support you.
It is important, however, to use your
accountability partner in the right way
and to make sure you are motivating
each other to stick to your goals, all the
while being fully accountable to them.
Below are the top 4 ways to have a
solid accountability partnership - and
also why they are so great!
