The Power of an Accountability Partner

1 replies
Accountability is so important to growth! Its so easy to start something big and just quit when you aren’t feeling motivated. When you have a good accountability partner, you are much more likely to stay on course and work harder on your.

So what are the qualities of a good accountability partner?


1. They are trustworthy – Setting goals can be a very personal decision. You should find someone that will accept your new path, support it, and keep it between the two of you.

2. They are non-judgmental – Face it. You’re going to fail. At least, I hope you are. Failure is a pit stop on the road to progress, so if you’re not failing, you’re not setting your goals high enough. When you do fail, your accountability partner should not judge you, but remind you where you stand in your journey.

3. They confide their goals in you – Accountability is a reciprocal concept. I cannot hold you accountable without you holding me accountable. Even if it’s for different things, you should offer the same benefit as they offer to you. Reciprocate. Find out their goals, and be their accountability partner.

    i do agree that finding a business partner is paramount.

    but man you try to find risk takers, and there aren't very many. how do you go about finding a good business partner?

    one quality to find in a partner i think is he thinks outside of the box, a non conformist, a dreamer.
