Having An Accountability Coach: 4 Ways It Helps You Achieve Happiness, Balance In Your Life And Consistent Progress In Your Business

An accountability coach is not somebody that makes you feel bad when you don’t do what you say you will.

In 2020, I was frustrated that I was constantly getting distracted from what I wanted to achieve, and to fix it, I employed an accountability coach.

In the year I worked with my coach, Chris, I had constant progress towards my goals; I had more balance and was overall happier.

Here are the 4 ways in which an accountability coach will help:

#1: 🧠 He helps improve your mindset, not your actions

When you don’t do what you said you’d do, you will get into a bad mental state, possibly thinking you are a failure or cannot achieve your goals.

A coach helps you become aware of your current mental state. You cannot achieve great things from a bad mental state. If you improve your mindset, your actions will fix themselves.

#2: 🥇You set clear and manageable priorities for the week

Most of the goal-setting template I use even today came from Chris.

Having clear priorities will help you clear out distractions and make consistent progress.

I said manageable because one other thing is a coach helps you set reasonable goals. People tend to have unreal expectations from themselves, which will make their mental state decrease when they don’t achieve them.

#3: 🤔He Helps you understand yourself

The first step to change bad habits or unwanted behaviors is to understand why you do them, what triggers them, and when they started.

A coach rarely gives you theory. Outside information does NOT lead to behavior change. If more information worked, people would quit smoking when doctors tell them it’s terrible.

#4: 💡Having someone to report to makes you act

You will work more towards your goals if you know that you will discuss the week and how it went at the end of the week.

It sucks to know you have to say, “I made very little progress this week.” This will act as a tailwind to your actions.
