Power is the ability to create explosive results from the potential that lies within people and things. Think about the power within a stick of dynamite or maybe an automobile. When you press the pedal, the power that lies within the vehicle is ignited. Similarly, the power within a rocket ship is ignited by the fuel tanks. Now, let me share with you the power that lies within the word accountability. Everybody. Who? Everybody. Once again, let me clarify just in case you didn’t get it. Everybody means YOU! Everybody needs to be accountable to someone. The word "accountability" means the ability to be accounted for. For example, anytime somebody goes on an airplane, the flight attendant does a final seat count and makes sure that all the passengers are accounted for. This basically means they are in their seats, have their seat belts on and are ready to reach their destinations. The flight attendants keep you safe and provide direction while you are on the flight. Unfortunately, 97% of people aren’t accountable to anyone in life. Being accountable to a boss is a joke. You show up at your job, you do your job, you go home, and you get paid. You aren’t accountable to a boss when that’s the extent of your interaction. Instead, I am talking about an accountability partner. This is someone that will truly stretch you and encourage you. An accountability partner won’t allow you to remain complacent. They will push you out of your comfort zone so that you can rise to the next level in life and achieve your Why. That is the power of accountability! You have to ask yourself three important questions: “Who am I accountable to? When am I accountable to them? How am I accountable to them?” All of my top elite coaching students are accountable to me. The last thing any of my students want to do is email or call me for their accountability updates and say, “John, I have done nothing in order to fulfill my Why." I simply refuse to allow them to fail in life and hold them accountable for their fear and procrastination that is stealing their dreams. It’s easy for someone not to answer for their laziness or other bad habits if they don’t have an accountability partner. Don’t allow yourself to get stuck in that trap! So, here’s what I want to ask you today: Are you willing to stretch yourself? Are you willing to engage an accountability partner? I highly suggest that you have a coach (i.e., mentor), but not a life coach and not a baby coach. Not someone who will say, “Great job, great job!” when you are truly doing nothing. You need someone that is going to stretch you, and make you uncomfortable in order for you to achieve your Why. Remember, the questions you have to ask yourself are: “Who am I accountable to?” “When am I accountable to them?” “How am I accountable to them?” If you are not accountable, then you are setting yourself up for failure and will likely fall into this statistic - 97% of people are dead or dead broke by the age of 65. Why? Because they are not being accountable for anything or to anyone. I believe in you, and I believe you are worth a lot more than that. Take action today by finding an accountability partner that will catapult you to the next level in life! John Di Lemme Motivating Champions Worldwide Join The Champion Club! P.S.
