And that is the end of step three, break your goals into micro actions.

Step number four, build accountability into your goal.

Without accountability, you create excuses.

And excuses are why most goals fail by February.

I want to share a powerful moment with Mr. Beast sitting right here talking about how he would not be where he is in his business without a mastermind and accountability early in his YouTube business.

I love what Mr. Beast talks right there.

And accountability creates consistency.

When you know someone else is checking in on you, you show up differently.

You show up more powerfully, more committed.

I just had my trainer working out with me this morning.

He comes to my place.

I know he's going to be there at a specific time.

And I also pay him to be there at a specific time.

So that forces me to wake up at a specific time and follow through on my goals that I have for my health goals.

and I show up whenever he's there, and that is the key.

It's not about if he wasn't there, it would give me an out.

It doesn't mean I don't want it, it doesn't mean I wouldn't be motivated to do it, but you know, stuff happens, life happens.

I've got twins, I'm up late, I'm taking care of them, I'm with my wife, I'm traveling, a busy lifestyle, and if my trainer's not there, maybe one morning I'd be like, I just really need sleep right now because I'm exhausted.

But because he's there, because I pay him, you pay attention to what you pay for even more.

So when you have accountability and you have a payment tied to it, you're even more likely to show up.
