An Accountability Coach can help you by providing a direction and targeting to convey your creative and innovative energies. A good Accountability Coach enables you to improve your understanding of the business process while teaching you tried-and-tested methods that work well to resolve common problems in your industry so that you can handle them independently in the future.

A study* in the USA was undertaken and found out that the probability of completing a goal is:

• 10% – If you have an actual idea or goal.
• 25% – If you consciously decide you will do it.
• 40% – If you decide when you will do it.
• 50% – If you plan how you will do it.
• 65% – If you commit to someone you will do it.
• 95% – If you have a specific accountability appointment with a person you’ve committed to.

After reading this, how likely are you to achieve your; goals, promises, obligations and commitments alone?

When searching for an Accountability Coach, a few factors must be kept in mind and rather contrary to popular belief that your Accountability Coach should have ample knowledge and understanding of business, but not necessarily your specific industry. Finding an Accountability Coach is not easy, especially finding a good one.

Deciding if they are the right person is the hard part. You can easily find Accountability Coaches through online directories or official listings. But you must always ensure that the individual you select can procure concrete references and has a track record of success. Word of mouth is the best, referral is how I’m found by most of my clients.

Engaging, an Accountability Coach who does not have the relevant experience is often a waste of resources and will not deliver any beneficial effects.
