Why You Need An Accountability Partner

Everyone wants to succeed in life, but only a few people understand why they fail over and over again.

Failure is not caused by lack of expertise, experience or resources. It is caused by quitting. A lack of conviction and discipline. 

Maybe you’re too distracted by all the social media interactions that’s designed to keep you clicking.

You quit because you don’t think you deserve it or don’t want to take responsibility for the person you are and want to become. 

Maybe you stop trying because you don’t believe it’s even possible 

But what if I told you that having an accountability partner increases your chances for success up to 95%? 

Goals and dreams can be an individual process; and while self-motivation is vital, extra motivation, support, assistance and advice from a partner will act as a catalyst for reaching your goals.

If you've been wanting to invest in yourself and your goals, whether personal and professional, start by finding someone who will keep you accountable. 

Here are the benefits that you can reap from your relationship with an accountability partner:

Increased performance 

When people know they are being held accountable by others for their actions, they will work harder. 

Who would want to disappoint their partner, right?

Research shows that when someone publicly shares their goals, they have around a 65% chance of success. However, having a specific accountability partner boosts that chance to 95%.

Better plans and strategies

Having an accountability partner that knows your objectives and goals means that you can sit together with them and craft out a coherent plan and strategy. 

They can help you identify the hurdles you might face and each of your strengths and weaknesses. They can also help you find better alternatives to bumps in your journey if you feel like you might be getting stuck in a rut.

It helps that you have someone to talk to, to evaluate how you are from an outside perspective.

Honest feedback

Just as you are committed to your goals, your accountability partner must be committed to giving you honest feedback, both positive and negative. 

This will help you grow and know what you need to improve upon.

Increased focus

Having an accountability partner can keep you focused on what's important. With someone always reminding you, it is unlikely you would become distracted from your goals. Your partner can even help you break down your goals into actionable and attainable steps.

Your accountability partner will also help you by setting fixed deadlines.

Having a second pair of eyes

If you don’t address small problems right away, they can grow into bigger issues. In fact, you might not even realize there are already issues. 

There may be times when you overlook concerns that need to be addressed so having an accountability partner who will provide you with a second pair of eyes, therefore, helping you prevent these instances from occurring is invaluable.

Lessons from their successes and mistakes

Having a conversation with your accountability partner can give you new perspectives on business and life. 

You can learn from other people’s successes as well as their mistakes. Having this type of partnership can help you identify challenges in your life that you may not have thought about before.
