The Value of an Accountability Coach

It is estimated that up to ninety percent of our behavior is habitual. That means that up to ninety percent of what you do, you do the same day in and day out - often without conscious thought. This may not seem like a concern, until you consider what percentage of your behavior is sabotaging your success. While you may be aware of some of your bad habits, it takes the guidance of an accountability coach to identify and bring awareness to all of the habits that are confining you to your current reality.

Most of us have a list of bad habits we keep telling ourselves we will change, but never follow through on making them. Think about all the New Year's resolutions that never happened. And that's easy to do when you have no one to hold you accountable for the things you say you are going to do or would like to do. Would you be more apt to make the commitment to change bad habits if someone was holding you accountable? It's not exactly comfortable to try to make excuses to someone else and you are more likely to follow through on things you say you're going to do when you are held accountable for your actions, or there lack of. This is the idea behind an accountability coach.

Wouldn't it be great if our 'good intentions' worked the way that we think they should? Not even enthusiasm guarantees positive results. There's often a wide gap between our intentions and our actions. Poor follow through is a fact of life for many of us. It not only threatens our health, but it also prevents us from achieving personal, financial, and career goals that are well within our reach.

We fail to take the action necessary to be in alignment with our good intentions. And while we might be frustrated, but somehow never change the negative habits. We stay in the same place, repeating the bad habits that cause us endless frustration.

An Accountability Coach will hold you accountable to follow through with your "good intentions" and call you on it when you don't. If this happens to you, it will not feel good and you'll learn to just do what you need to do to avoid that uncomfortable "in your face" feeling of accountability. In order to get what you don't have, you have to learn to break the habits that got you where you are now. An Accountability Coach will help you get creative and try new strategies to move to your next level. With the expertise, objectivity, creativity and insight of an Accountability Coach, you will accomplish what you used to only intend to accomplish.

They will help you identify the habits and thoughts that are sabotaging your success and hold you accountable for replacing the habits and thoughts that are producing your current results with improved habits that increase your level of success. None of us is perfect and each of us has bad

habits and thoughts that are limiting our success. The longer we wait to change bad habits and thoughts, the longer we will continue to produce our current reality. To change your environment, you must change your habits and thoughts. It's like changing from the old vinyl album record to a new audio CD playing.

When you have to answer to an accountability coach, you will improve your commitment, focus, follow-through, and productivity. Additionally, having an accountability coach will increase your confidence and develop successful habits. You will also see a reduction in procrastination because you will have deadlines to complete your goals, or be held accountable for their non-completion. For the best results, find a professional accountability coach that can guide you from where you are to where you want to be.
