Mastermind Accountability Partner

One of the greatest benefits of a Mastermind Group is to have accountability partners. In our groups, members pair up with each other and have a call once a week to discuss their goals. The idea is to have members push each other to achieve their goals as well as get new strategies on how to overcome obstacles. When you commit to someone else you are more likely to follow through than if you just commit to yourself.

The eMoms at Home Blog had a great post that mentioned the importance of getting an accountability partner:

No matter if I am working for myself, or working for someone else, every year I have a hard time focusing on work in December. It's one of my favorite times of the year and family comes first. But if you drop the ball too much now, you will go into overwhelm mode in January, and lose precious business opportunities along the way. Here is my simple formula for being accountable: Create consequences. If I don't do things on my "Must" list, my Mastermind Group holds me to my self-imposed leverage. Like I would have to give each person $250, or I would have to destroy a favorite photograph, or I would have to grow out my usually well hidden moustache (remember I am a mom, not a dad ). I actually feel far less stress when I don't procrastinate.
