Accountability~2012

By
Home Stager with CL Design Services Home Staging

                    Accountability ~ Responsibilty ~ Accomplishment ~ Measurability ~ Strength

This year I am committed to meeting with an "Accountability" group every Tuesday morning at 7:30am.

This is not your usually group, but four industry leaders in my community.

Our leader, Katey Shinn, is managing broker at Better Homes & Garden and a professional business coach. The 3 gentleman in the group are successful mortgage and escrow affiliates.  I am honored as a professional home stager to be including in this group.

I have never been fond of or successful at New Year Resolutions. I am fond of goals and love a good challenge....this excites me....so, I am being  Accountable 2012!! 

The five of us have written our goals for 2012: Personal, Health, Family and Business.

Weekly we write our goals for: Personal Health, Family and Business.

I am learning to remove the words "TRY" and "Want" from my vocabulary and replacing them with "WILL".

It is amazingly inspiring to be Accountable to this group. 

After loosing my blog voice over a year ago while experiencing personal problems, my business goal this week is to write a blog article.  It feels good to be back at it tonight......a little like riding a bike!!

Joyfully, Cathy Lee

We have a program in our company called Ignite we have goals stated and our numbers are recorded.  It is one big competition.  Great fun to success.

Hi Cathy--I think there is nothing better than being held accountable for what we say we are going to do.  I like the fact that you are blogging again and I will await to hear what other extraordinary things come out of your Accountability group.

Cathy, I like this idea very much, and using the word WILL is a great thing indeed. Way to go! I will not "wish" you luck with this because that is nothing but wishful thinking. I WILL say this is an aswesome thing that WILL bring you much, all the way around, in 2012 and beyond.

Cathy - so glad you're back. I've had similar issues this year with my family's health issues taking precedence over everything else but I'm ready to fulfill the goals I've set for my business this year. I just wish that the money I earmarked for the RESA convention didn't end up going to my new warehouse instead! Good luck this year.

This must be something for us girls born on January 7th to struggle with Cathy!  What you wrote sounds very similar to last year (and a few others for me).  I love the idea of a group like this, having others in your cheering squad and keeping us accountable is so important.  Now only to commit to finding a group like that.... see you soon!
