If you want to accelerate your results in any area of your life: Do Not Do it Alone! When we do things alone no one else knows what we are doing or not doing. No stakeholders are present. We only have accountability to ourselves. To increase the probabilities of success add a person or persons to the endeavor.
An example: What is the fastest way to get in great shape?
Answer: Hire a trainer.
Why does it work?
Because the power of us is present or the principle of community is being utilized. An individual is less likely to blow off a gym appointment if they know someone is waiting for them (a stakeholder) and they have made a monetary investment. Another great thing about trainers is that they want you to succeed and no matter what your mood you will have a great work out. The reason I love my trainer is that when I am at the gym I do not have to think about my work out, I just do it. My day is spent coaching and it is a welcome relief just to follow my trainer and do what I am told and get amazing results. One more great aspect of having someone in your world to push you: the more results that you get the more motivated you are to push yourself even further! Success begets success. Now imagine applying that philosophy to your business and when you have that mental picture now you know exactly what our coaches do for our clients.
Look for ways to apply the power of “you and me.” Please do not limit the conversation to simply physical fitness the principle applies to all goals.
Be wonderful,
Ken

So true Ken…
You could also say the same about Blogging.
I remember one of my teachers saying “If you start anything that you want to be a success…tell the people you know about it first)”
I am glad to see your words on the wild wild web.
Take care my friend,
