		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Hi Amber,
   Great post.  It popped up on my radar when you mentioned accountability partners.  I agree with many of your points, especially splitting the call so that both of you are served and empowered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I lead a peer-to-peer accountability group called Peer Success Circles. What we also have our members do is to tell their accountability buddy both what obstacles and sabotaging behavior have stopped them in the past, as well as their positive triggers.  Basically what inspirational messages such as &quot;You Go Girl!&quot; or &quot;I&#039;m Proud of you!&quot; connect with that person on an emotional level when they meet an accountability.  We&#039;ve found that this builds up the momentum a supports our members to build better habits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is also a lot more to the process that makes it sustainable for our members including getting community feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each member comes aboard with a barn / goal they want to raise / get to.  The entire accountability circle is available to help that person realize it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to experience what we offer, connect with me here. I would certainly welcome your feedback.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Betsy.  I agree.  I think we definitely focus on more than just the numbers and get a much more well-rounded life and business as a result (of course, we&#039;re still working on that and obviously haven&#039;t found the perfect formula, not that we probably ever will).  I absolutely learn something to apply to my own life or business when I help you work through sticky situations.  I think we save ourselves a lot of steps that way, too.  Thanks for adding to the conversation, Betsy!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am officially outing myself as Amber&#039;s accountability partner. Can you guys see why I like partnering with her so much?

One thing that works really well for us is that we are genuinely interested in the other person&#039;s success.  It&#039;s not just a &quot;by the numbers&quot; kind of deal.  Even though we have very different objectives, neither one of us wants to mold the other into our own versions of success.

It&#039;s funny that way.  Many times when I&#039;ve helped Amber navigate a sticky issue that is totally unrelated to what I&#039;m doing, I learn something about my own situation.  I think she&#039;d say the same thing about working with me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oops.. sorry for the duplicate link. Steph &amp; I were discussing this article and how it related to our blog post. Apparently we had the same thought to act on it. Moderator (Amber?) please feel free to delete this and one of the other two comments.
Monday mornings. ugh.]]></description>
