The Value of an Accountability Coach
It is estimated that up to ninety percent of our behavior is habitual. That means that up to ninety percent of what you do, you do the same day in and day out - often without conscious thought. This may not seem like a concern, until you consider what percentage of your behavior is sabotaging your success. While you may be aware of some of your bad habits, it takes the guidance of an accountability coach to identify and bring awareness to all of the habits that are confining you to your current reality. Wouldn't it be great if our 'good intentions' worked the way that we think they should? There's often a wide gap between our intentions and our actions. Poor follow through is a fact of life for many of us. It not only threatens our health, but it also prevents us from achieving personal and career goals that are well within our reach.

A Personal 'Mission Statement' Spells Success!
One of the latest "techniques for success" is the personal mission statement. Motivational and management gurus say these can be as effective in our own lives as they are in organizations.

Set and Achieve High Goals for Success in 2010
Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for creating the career and life success they want and deserve. Setting and achieving high goals is one way of demonstrating your commitment to your success. Your 2010 -- and any year for that matter -- success begins with your goals. Make sure they are S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Bound). You should be able to clearly articulate three things about each of your goals -- 1) What you plan to achieve; 2) Why you want to achieve it; and 3) How you plan on achieving it.
Can You Successfully Carry a Message to Garcia?
Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for their lives and careers. You demonstrate your commitment to creating the successful life and career you want and deserve by being willing to do the things necessary to succeed. You also have to set high goals -- and then do whatever it takes to achieve them. Finally, stuff happens; as you go through life you will encounter many problems and setbacks. You need to react positively to the negative stuff and negative people in your life and move forward toward your goals. 112 years ago Elbert Hubbard published an essay called "A Message to Garcia."

React positively to the setbacks, problems and negative people and events in your life. Keep at it. Don't let a day when you come back empty handed in your quest for career success get you down. Get up the next day with optimism in your heart and keep working toward the mighty purpose you've set for yourself.
