Who Is Holding You Accountable For Your Business Success?

Posted on 12. Aug, 2010 by Natalie in Business Resources, Entrepreneurs, Featured, Marketing & Sales

When I look back on my life I have ALWAYS set goals. Most of the time I would write down far too many, then look at that piece of paper or journal 6 months later and wondered how I was ever planning on achieving them all.

I did realize though, that just by writing down what my intentions were, I generally achieved around 60% of them (aside from the really ludicrous ones that weren’t physically possible to do in one year simultaneously!)

Last year I used the Power of Focus book to really work through my goals and also strategies and tactics to achieve them. I spent several weeks pulling this together into a plan and then committed to reviewing it daily (which then slipped to weekly and subsided to monthly).

Was this goal-setting technique more successful?

Yes. I believe it was because it showed me clearly where I fall down when setting goals – being overly ambitious. It also reinforced the habits that were clearly working for me, so I was able to filter out goals that really weren’t aligned with my purpose and passions.

I still have my `Business Success Goal’ sheet to hand. Many have been achieved and there are several that I’ve revisited and adjusted – a step you must take when goal setting.

What I have found most useful is that the key goals are imprinted at the fore front of my mind and they appear naturally in daily lists that I make.

What key point are you making Natalie?

This one – YES you need a system, yes it needs to work for you, and it should be something you check in on at least weekly. But like life, your goals need to be flexible, exciting and challenging and they need to adapt as much as you do.

What’s really important is that your overall vision for your business should never change – if you really believe in it and live by it, then all the other activities, objectives and tactics you use in order to keep on track can change as often as you need them to.

Is that the real key to success?

Having a vision that drives you and holds you to a higher purpose is definitely a key ingredient. But aside from yourself, who is holding you accountable to make this vision a reality?

According to the experts like Les Hewitt, Anthony Robbins, Napoleon Hill and Stephen Covey who have proven this in their books or by working with thousands of businesses and seeing incredible results it’s having your own personal success team.

Who should I have on my personal success team?

1. 1. Mentors for each aspect of your business you need help, advice and wisdom for.
2. 2. A business coach to hold you accountable for goals you have set for yourself and your business.
3. 3. A lawyer who can deal with your specific business needs
4. 4. A financial accountant to ensure you save money, have the right business structure to maximize tax benefits and more

Have you got your personal success team onboard?

I imagine, if you’re like me you are working on it. You have people that you reach out to for various needs. Is it working for you? Do you need further help? Worried about being able to afford this?
