Building a new habit that will have a lasting effect can be hard-that’s why having an accountability partner is so important. Here’s what to look for in an accountability partner:

1. Ability to Relate-Try and pick an accountability partner who’s going to build the same habit as you. You can fight through some of the same challenges together or maybe your partner has a successful plan for one of your challenges.
2. Motivation- When your accountability partner has the same “WHY” as you, you can encourage and motivate each other when the going gets tough. Your partner should pick you up when you’re feeling low and vice versa!
3. Accountability-Duh-it’s in the name! However, some partners won’t call you on your crap. A good partner will feel good about giving you tough love and will tell you what you need to hear, even when it’s not what you want to hear.
