Success in your business depends on you taking some action. Some actions that are musts in Network Marketing and MLM, or really any business, are adding new contacts to your contact manager, following up with a “nice to meet you” card, then a phone call, sending out business information, and doing business presentations.
Do you notice that some of these actions go by the way side? How do you feel when you don’t complete these? What are the results you get in your business? Would you like to see much better results?
Accountability is you committing to answer for the outcomes or results you get
from the choices you make to take action or not.
One of the best strategies for ensuring that you will take action is to have
an Accountability Partner.
Why? A study was performed that showed when a person makes a decision to
take action that the probability of it happening is approximately 23%.
When that same person tells someone they will take that action the probability of
it happening is approximately 46%. When that same person tells someone they will
take an action and sets up a deadline to have it done and report the completion, the
probability of it happening increasing significantly to about 95%.
When you willingly commit to an accountability partner then you are:
1. Taking ownership for your results or not.
2. Understanding and agreeing to the action.
3. Accepting the consequences of your action or non-action.
The greatest benefits are many including:
1. Getting extra energy and a push for your business helping you experience increased productivity
2. Someone to stay accountable to and to celebrate with.
3. Someone with whom you can be honest and brainstorm ideas
