I've got nine totally badass motives
why to Follow Your Heart
to get an
Accountability Partner.

| Accountability Partners |
Here are the front nine –
To prove I was serious – When I was just
joking around, I knew I could handle it by myself. If I ran into someone who
held the opinion that they would much rather work alone, I knew that they had a
lot of fears or a low snake's belly self-esteem that I’d really rather not deal with. If
you’re serious about making an all out go for it, you’ll be open and ready to accept an
accountability partner.
Focus hocus pocus or focused – whenever I’ve had
to answer to someone else (other than a boss), I’ve consistently zeroed in on
what I’ve said I would get done before the next meeting. If the partner wanted to fart everything off and did not live up to his/her commitments, the accountability partnership soon
disintegrated.
I never wanted to be the reason joint venture to
collapse. If anything, I wanted to be the main motivation for it to be kept
going strong.
Kick you in booty – Find someone who will soccer kick you in the ass
if you happen to need an extra shove to get going.
Take the rotten poop Bouncer Test - There were seemingly countless times I
thought I had an extraordinary idea. So, just to test it out, when I was out doing my duty at the grocery store, I
asked the guy behind me in line what he thought of my dominantly badass idea. I can still
hear him farting as he was laughing so hard today. It’s a damn fine notion to bounce your unique shots of
marketing genius before you bomb a rotten poop on the public.
Administer a reliability test to your ‘wannabe’
partner – I’ve scheduled quite a number of meetings only to have a partner
totally forget or just not show up, whether it was online or offline, phone,
Skype or Facebook IM chat.
For most meetings, I determine beforehand if
promptness of any concern? My time is valuable, at least to me and if a partner
is late, I question how much value it is to him.
Accountability toward time and place – being where
one should be. Is the partner at a certain place, certain time and is he/she prepared
for the meeting. That preparation and reliability is essential.
The reward celebration – if the partner
does not cheer during a celebration party after goals or accomplishments are
achieved, then that partner should definitely be dumped.
Liar, Liar – loved the movie but absolutely
detest it when someone close like an accountability partner does not tell the
truth! Let me have it! I don’t want it any other way. Give it to me straight.
The bottom line – a good Follow Your Heart
AP will help and motivate you to achieve more. Isn’t that the exact reason why
we want someone in that position anyway? If we don’t improve, what the hell did
we invite them on board in the first place?
The FUN quotient (FQ) – this may not matter
to anyone but me, yet it the absolute necessary factor whether the partnership
will last (any length of time) or not. The FQ is where I rely on the Follow Your Heart value more than in the other factors.
