Do you Have an Accountability Buddy?

Building and running your own business can be lonely and challenging. There is nobody to share ideas with or to help you plan how to reach your goals. For many entrepreneurs, this is very important. Having weekly chats or meetings your goals and what you have achieved, helps you to stay on track and take note of the areas that you are struggling with. If for some reason you didn't achieve your goals for that week, then you have a partner to try and figure out how to get over the hurdle. You can also brainstorm with your buddy on marketing ideas and business strategies. Here are some tips to help make this business buddy system work:

• Be clear about what you want in a buddy and about your goals
• Don't choose a friend; rather, find a buddy through your chamber of commerce, a service club meeting or at other networking events
• Choose someone in a different sector to avoid competition, and with different skill sets that will complement your own
• Set a schedule of how often you will meet and for how long
• If the relationship is not working, fire your buddy and find a new one.
