Many business owners will tell you that the primary reason they hire a business coach or a consultant is ACCOUNTABILITY!
Let’s think about what that means for a moment. Imagine you are that business owner.
“Accountability”, as in having regularly scheduled calls, weekly or fortnightly, FORCES you to think and do things in your business on a regular basis, that you would not do otherwise?
“Accountability” as in having to “report” to someone who’s not invested in your business; someone who does not own YOUR business; on a regular basis for what you said you would do (say, on the last call) to grow your business.
C’mon, who are we kidding!
When was the last time you needed someone to smack you for something you said you were going to do but didn’t?
First grade?
And when did that actually work? Without you resenting that very thing you had to do anyway?
ACCOUNTABILITY IS A MYTH!
Instead, be RESPONSIBLE.
CHOOSE to do the things that will move the needle in your business.
Right action at the right time.
It’s all on you.
And that’s GREAT news, because…
You can start right now.
You can choose to be RESPONSIBLE right now.
You can change what you’re doing, right now.
No more waiting for someone, something else.
Re-cognise that the power is always with you.
And in the words of legend Stan Lee, through Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben…
“With great power there must also come…great responsibility”
Responsibility goes far beyond accountability.
It is not just the willingness to accept the outcome or results.
It is the mindset that says, “I am the person who must make this happen.”
So you’re saying “I will..” Not because someone else says “You will or else…”
Accountability is external motivation. Reliance. Consequences.
Responsibility is internal motivation. Ownership. Autonomy.
The faster you get this, the faster you’ll start getting out of your own way to getting the results you really want in your business.
Because, why?
You are the person who will make it happen!
