According to Neuro Gym, accountability is one of the brain-based exercises and steps – from the world’s leading neuroscience researchers – you can use right now to maximize your potential and reach your personal goals faster than you ever thought possible.
This, surprisingly, is the most overlooked step in the world. At home, our parents hold us accountable. When we’re in school, we’re held accountable by our teachers.
They grade us, and we either do the work or we fail. And yet, as adults, when we choose to improve our financial, business or emotional condition, we rarely apply accountability. We can’t use ourselves. Why not? Because the well-documented dynamics of cognitive bias are unconsciously operating in our minds. We simply do not see ourselves as accurately as we need to if we want to maximize our potential and succeed at reaching our dreams.
And yet accountability is the easiest thing to arrange. All you need is a mentor or a good friend, or better yet, a small team of skilled colleagues who agree to hold each other accountable for achieving daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals.
So, make a promise to yourself, right now, to find 2 or 3 people who will hold you accountable for achieving your personal goals. And draw up a written contractual agreement.
