Work with Big Brother.

Research proves that perfomance improves with both measurement and accountability to somebody else!  This is proven.  Even I use coaches, mentors, and consultants.  This is vital.  No man or woman ever built an island by themself. 

If you are a goal oriented person or an entrepreneur, invest in a coach, consultant, or mentor to whom you can stay accountable to.  Make sure that person (or persons) is successful-not your beer-guzzling former frat brother who subscribes to Maxim magazine for success advice.

I have a few in my arsenal.  One is a guy who runs a successful search firm whose clients include Colgate, Coca-Cola, and Russell Simmons (Def Jam Records).   His typical income is $40-75K for two days work. 

Another mentor of mine is guy who's traded the stock market since 1987.  He took $7000 in January and turned it into over $400K by October.   The guys that he associates with make $30-40K a day.  Yes, it's true.  That is not a typo.

The moral of this point is to have someone who will keep you on task, who has your best interest at heart, can teach you how to get where you want to go, and is currently "walking the walk".

To your success!
