Accountability Groups

Another way to find an accountability coach or partner is to get into an accountability group. Such a group has three to seven like-minded people who are inclined to achieve their goals, dreams, and aspirations.

Such groups help create peer-to-peer accountability. Plus, in an accountability group, everyone gets to share their journey honestly and openly. You get to hear and give perspective on various journeys and draw inspiration. Besides, sharing your goals with a group increases your accountability and commitment towards achieving your dreams.

For instance, you can have an accountability group of entrepreneurs from various fields. You get a unique perspective on how to get things done and share your view, too and suggest tactics.
