(upbeat music) - Hello and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast. We will discuss topics, ideas, questions and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Anne Baccarat. Today we're going to talk about what are you committed to? The four factors for effective commitment. Commitment means being bound by a course of action to bring about the desired results. It is one of the most powerful personal traits we can aim to achieve. Our greatest leaders and most successful business people all share some common belief systems. Determination, strength of purpose and commitment. Being committed to yourself, your goals, your business and your relationships is what raises you above the mediocre because people who honor their commitments stand out in the crowd. By honoring your commitments, you keep your promises and stay true to your word. Honoring your commitments also means that you promise to see them through to the very end. Come whatever come that may. Not honoring your commitments destroys your credibility, your dependability and your trustworthiness. Here are four factors for effective commitment. Number one, commitment to life. Those who commit to living a successful fulfilled life become the most successful and fulfilled people. Commitment is not simply about making them have hearted promise to yourself that you may keep when all the stars are aligned satisfactorily. Commitment involves making a promise to yourself that you will see it through to the very end. However, commitment doesn't mean following through on a goal that for whatever reason becomes misaligned or doesn't prove to be the goal you originally wanted to achieve. Making a promise that changes direction is quite separate from breaking a promise. To lead a fulfilled and happy life that raises you above the mediocre and clearly sets you on a path to achieve your goals is what commitment is all about. Number two, commitment to business. It would be impossible to imagine a business leader who doesn't value commitment as one of their greatest strength. Commitment requires courage, strength and perseverance. Personal traits you will find in any leadership manual. Great business leaders not only practice commitment in their own lives, they encourage, promote and reward commitment of their employees. Committed employees are competent and effective in the workplace as well as being committed to the overall success and vision of the organization. Companies who engender commitment in every facet of their organization raises themselves above the level of their competition by honoring their promises and fulfilling the needs of their clients. Number three, commitment to success. Success doesn't just happen. Success occurs when determination, a desire to succeed and strength of purpose and commitment to achieve your goals are present. Successful people commit to achieving better than their best. For them, commitment becomes an instinctual habit they practice every day. However, commitment is not merely about the intention or the strength of your promises. It's about taking action. Even the strongest commitment is just another broken promise unless a commitment to take action actually occurs. Study the commonalities successful people possess and you will find at their heart of their success a series of small and large goals they work on with the determination to succeed and a commitment to really go the distance. Number four, commitment to relationships. You would swear from the number of books and seminars and workshops on the subject of commitment phobia that the phrase only belongs to the relationship gain. Fulfilled in satisfying relationships form the backbone of our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. Commitment to a relationship operates in the same way commitment to anything else does. Whether your relationship is personal, business, professional or sexual, committing to another individual is much the same as committing to an ideal or a goal. You make a promise to that person and then you take action on your promise. I know that sounds simple. Well, it's not always easy. So then why do statistics tell us that over 50% of marriages now end in divorce? It would take much more than this podcast would allow to explain in any detail why so many committed relationships really eventually fail. Human beings are amazingly complex creatures. So the coming together of two complex creatures in an equally complex relationship can be fought with mishaps or misunderstandings, doubt, deceit, despair and obviously the list goes on and on. In its most simplistic terms, committing to a relationship is no different from committing to a long-term goal. To stay committed, you need to keep your focus on the vision and understand that the path to attain that vision may meander, twist or turn and lead you down a number of dead ends. What it takes is a shared desire to achieve the same vision and determination to succeed no matter what obstacles are placed in your path. What will you do next to increase your commitments? Make a list and begin implementing them in your life. My hope for our time together is that you got some value and maybe even an idea or two that will help you be even more successful, personally and professionally.
