Day
24: Accountability
Accountability is so crucial. Half
the reason clients hire me is they want to know that someone, besides them,
gives a sh*t and cares and will be checking in regularly to make sure they did
what they promised. Obviously, some of this is our need, as humans, to make
emotional connections and reach out to others and feel less alone. I've had
countless clients say,” Thanks for paying attention,” when I snapped at them
for not doing what they promised. Um. That came out bad but you know what I
meant. When I say “snapped,” I mean, “share the love.” Or something.
So if you’re trying to change jobs,
or lose weight, or even just start the process of figuring out what exactly it
is that you’re trying to change, why not use social media to keep you
accountable? You could, for example, start a Facebook page devoted to your
particular journey, get your friends to like it, and start documenting your
transformation. Not only will that keep you accountable to all the people who
liked the page, but the more you do, the more you’ll be able to do. It will
give you more ideas, which will give you more opportunities. Eventually, people
who aren’t your friends will come along to watch and learn…now, you’re really
cooking.
You could create a Twitter account
devoted to your particular interest, and start communicating with other people
in the same boat. Now, you’re broadening your network and the bigger your
network, the bigger your possibilities. There’s a whole world out there, why
would you just isolate yourself with your fears and concerns? People everywhere
are pretty much the same. Let your journey inspire someone else…and you have no
idea what could come of it. Maybe you’ll “just” accomplish your goals. #whoa Or
maybe, as you inspire others, your goals will get a whole lot bigger and a
whole lot more liberating. That’s the kind of accountability I’m talking about,
baby!
