Hi, Amber. I was cleaning out my desk this week and found an email I had printed out from you after our very first conversation. The date was 12/26/2006. So happy anniversary, partner!

You make some really great points here. One thing I would add about finding a good accountability partner is knowing what you have to offer and what kind of help you need. For instance, you and I have different strengths, and I think this is what helps us be productive for each other. If we were both really good at the same kind of things, it would be hard to move ahead because we would have the same perspective on things.

So my 2 cents is to take a personal inventory of your skills and talents and think about the kind of person you want to round that out. Once you know what you’re looking for, it is a lot easier to find it and a lot easier to pitch the benefits of the relationship to that other person.
