Accountability.
If you are accountable to an associate you respect you will take more action and make more progress. If the person you are accountable to follows up with you, then that’s a bonus. You won’t want to let them down.
Be careful being accountable to a spouse for your goals. Odds are they will let you off the hook too easily. “Honey, you’ve had a hard week.” He’ll say. “You haven’t gotten enough sleep this week,” she’ll say.
Find a leader in your community and give them an email or call. They are probably busy, but most are open . If you become accountable to them they’ll hold your feet to the fire.
