Introduction
You have a great idea or goal, but it’s not going to be achieved by just thinking about it. You need to commit and hold yourself accountable for your own success. There is no one else who can do this for you. Your success is dependent on your willingness to take responsibility, not wait around for someone else to do it for you!
The only thing that separates you from your goal is the vision in your eye, the fire in your belly and the accountability to get you there.
Accountability is the gateway to success. It's the ability to hold yourself accountable for your actions, good or bad. If you fail at something, it's because of a lack of accountability on your part—not because there were too many obstacles in front of you. The only thing that separates us from our goals is the vision in our eyes, the fire in our belly and the accountability to get us there.
If we want something badly enough, then nothing can stop us from achieving it—even if we have no experience doing what we're trying to achieve!
What it will take for you to be successful is a willingness to work hard, on yourself and your goal, a willingness to keep going when others would stop, a willingness to stand alone and accountable for success.
The first step is to be accountable. When you take ownership of your dreams, you can begin the journey towards achieving them. The next step is committing yourself to working hard and pushing forward despite obstacles. It may seem like a simple concept, but it takes work and perseverance to achieve great things in life.
When you're on the right path, it's important that you stay committed and proceed with confidence that your success will come if you continue on this path as well as look for ways to improve yourself along the way. Successful people are always striving for more so they can grow their business or career further than ever before!
It’s high time we drop the excuses, stop making excuses and start assuming responsibility for our own success.
Accountability is a choice. We can choose to own our actions and the results that follow, or we can blame external factors for what happens to us. The truth is, when it comes to success, there are no excuses and there are no victims. Successful people take responsibility for their lives and the things that happen in them. They realize that they have control over their choices and outcomes.
The first step to achieving great success is taking ownership of your life; once you’ve done that, you’re ready to make some real changes!
Without accountability, we become victims of circumstance.
Without accountability, we become victims of circumstance. In other words, when we’re not held accountable for our actions, we tend to make excuses and find ways to justify our lack of progress.
Accountability gives us the confidence and motivation to move forward because it forces us out of our comfort zone and into action mode. When you have someone holding you accountable, they will constantly ask questions like: “What are your goals? How are you going to achieve them? What steps will it take? What resources do you need and how can I help?” You don't have time or energy for this in your life!
Vision without accountability breeds fantasy.
Vision without accountability is a fantasy. You can’t be successful without having a clear goal, and that goal needs to be shared with others. If you want someone else to help you reach your goals, then they need to know what they are.
There's no point in having a vision if nobody knows about it or how it will benefit them.
This is why I E always keep my clients accountable for their actions by helping them get on track with their goals at every step of the process--
If you're going through something similar as part of your own personal journey towards success and happiness, there are ways you can make sure that even though others aren't necessarily working alongside directly with you on these things--they still might have some interest in what happens next! That way when things go wrong or even better yet right--they'll be able not only celebrate along side but also learn from how others got there too!
What has continued to make me successful is my willingness to step into my pain, learn from it and stay accountable for what needs to happen next.

This is an excerpt from "Unmasking Your Self-Sabotaging Behaviors" by Robin Sharma, available now on Amazon.
Making yourself accountable for success may mean standing alone at times, but standing alone allows you to be true to yourself and will make all of the difference in your life!
Accountability is a choice. It's the decision to be honest and open, to take responsibility for your actions, and to accept the consequences of your decisions. It can be a lonely road at times, but it will lead you toward success in every area of your life.
Making yourself accountable for success may mean standing alone at times, but standing alone allows you to be true to yourself and will make all of the difference in your life!
Great ideas are worthless unless they are executed.
Great ideas are worthless unless they are executed. A great idea is only as good as the person who executes it, and you cannot be that person unless you are held accountable for your actions.
Conclusion
Accountability is one of the most important things you can do for your success. Without it, you’re just spinning your wheels and wasting time. If you want to achieve anything in life, then it's important that you take accountability seriously and see through what others call "failures" as learning experiences that will help guide them towards their goal.D
