And we talk about these things and we try to find ways to help each other.

That simple accountability system helped me grow faster than any motivational speech ever would, right?

It was just about the accountability system in place.

And I'm not saying you have to hire a coach or find a friend or whatever.

It could be whatever system works for you, but you need accountability.

Accountability can be a friend, a coach, community, a group, whatever it is, a public commitment.

You could be posting something online.

or a tracking system, some type of app, whatever it is that works for you.

The key is this, make your goals visible to your life.

Make your progress measurable.

And when you create accountability, you create results because results come by you showing up consistently for your goals.

Step four is to build accountability into your goal.

And step five,

This is a big one.

It's reward the progress, not perfection.

Most people quit because they expect perfection.

Then they miss one day.

They fall behind a little bit.

Then they've accepted that they've failed at being perfect.

And successful people do not celebrate perfection.
