It can help to make ourselves accountable to someone else. So – team up!
Who you ask needs careful attention. When you are considering that trusting companion, you do NOT want: A cynic; A critic; A nag; A nit picker; A naysayer; A faultfinder; or A nonbeliever (in you). Hope this doesn’t wipe out all of your cronies. If it does, get knew cronies!!
Peak Performers choose the company they keep. They select buddies that give them reality checks – those who tell them what they don’t want to hear and stay with them through the modifications.
