The Importance of ACCOUNTABILITY & How to Get it!
Nick explains why accountability is the crucial key to achieving your goals and being successful in every area of your life.
It can be easy to declare you would like to do something but you need to make a conscious decision and then get accountable by sharing with others. It is this public declaration of accountability that means you will stay committed to your decision and achieve your goals.
If you are someone who often talks about doing something but then doesn’t follow through Nick has some great tips about how to successfully make a decision and how to get accountable and achieve.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most people set goals and the success of reaching those goals is influenced by the level of accountability The definition of a decision is when all other possibilities have been removed. It’s vital to make a decision and put in the accountability that will drive you forwards to success. Accountability is about other people aligning with you and providing you with support Involving others in any decision you take is crucial. People try to go it on their own but it is the accountability that makes the difference. Utilise peers and use coaches or a buddy system to make sure you are accountable. A coach can hold you to account and help you to be accountable to the decisions you have taken. We shouldn’t need accountability but sometimes we need the consequence to be serious enough that it forces us to take action. How you do anything is how you do everything Once you have accountability built in then any goal will become much easier to achieve.

ABOUT THE HOST
Nick James
Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.
Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company.
He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash!
Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.
He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.
Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage.
Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
