Five mornings a week I spend time speaking to my accountability partner by phone. An accountability partner is someone who helps keep you focused on your goals. You can have someone keep you accountable for exercising every day, looking for a job or any area of your life where you could use encouragement to remain on track.
We’ve been working together for about three months now and I have to say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. It’s really been keeping me focused and forced me to make more action-oriented goals.
She lives on the West coast, and I live in the Southeast so there were some initial time zone challenges to overcome. Each day we tell one another our business goals for the day and discuss whether or not we met the previous day’s goals. We also help each other work through any work-related challenges. It’s given me the kick in the pants I’ve needed to get moving on certain projects and maintain momentum.
I stumbled upon quite a few blog posts sharing business advice this week. I especially enjoyed the “Fill In The Blanks” post because I’m in the middle of refocusing my business services. Hope you find these helpful, and enjoy your weekend.

Bookmarked…will be checking back in these for sure!
Great topic, Kimberly, and so true. The internet can be like a vortex sometimes….especially late at night when you should just be going to bed.
I love that you have an accountability partner. Do you find that you manage to stay on task in your conversations, or is it easy to get sidetracked? Is this someone that you met through networking or a friend that you had previous to working online?
Thank you for those resources. I'm loading the MP3 in my iPod to listen to while I exercise tomorrow.
