Mondays are the day I normally talk to my Accountability Partner. Shellie is the sounding board I count on each week to give me the honest feedback I want on whatever is going on in my business. We have known each other for years, and worked together in our last corporate job. When our boss retired we stumbled upon AssistU.com and their Virtual Training Program. As fate would have it, we went through in the same class and started our own businesses. Today, Shellie was out of town doing a software demo for a potential new client. She works with a student management software system and is the world’s foremost authority on how it works in the State of Texas. Oh, and she’s always been the Demo Queen. Man, is she good!

So, I missed my time sharing ideas with Shellie, but we will catch up later in the week. I put my time to rather good use, though, writing a report that will be available on this site in the next couple of days. There have been so many people asking me about how to get started marketing on the internet and how to use Social Media for their businesses. So, this report will cover all of that. It’s been a long time in coming, and I am anxious to be able to offer it to my readers.

Back to the accountability partner concept. This has been one of the best business tools I have put into practice. Each week we catch each other up on what we have been working on, talk about any issues we might have, brainstorm new ideas to work on, and decide what we will hold each other accountable for during the coming week. It’s wonderful to have someone in your corner, who understands your business, and your strengths and weaknesses.

You should find your own accountability partner. Let me know if you have any questions about how to work with one.
