Secret to Success Number 1 – Get an Accountability Partner
There are so many “secrets to success.” But I am going to call this secret number one! Why? Because if you get yourself an accountability partner and you create a true accountability relationship, you will also be living many other secrets. Secrets like:
- Figure out what you want specifically
- Figure out when you want it
- Tell people
- Work on it every day
To be in an accountability partnership, you will do all these things. It is my strong recommendation that you seek out a partner. Someone who will take a stand for you. Someone you can stand for too. Below are the pillars of a great accountability partnership:
- Choose a truth-teller. Be a truth-teller.
- Know the purpose and outcome for your relationship. For each of you. And for the partnership itself.
- Tell them what you want. Ask them what they want.
- Give them explicit permission to push you. Get explicit permission to push them.
- Explain to them how you might snow them, bamboozle them, pull the wool over their eyes. Ask for the same information from them.
