Hm... I guess we often like to think, that our success is all „our success“... „WE did it“. But it‘s those who like our ideas, who make us successful. This is really very easy to forget.

Accountability is key! I truly believe you need others to help keep you more accountable. I’ve battled with this over the years and came to the conclusion that a great accountability partner can turn a daunting project into a fun and successful one! Thanks for the share! Resteem

enjoyed reading this! great work on this one @sufermarly 👍

You're reminding me of what happened when I had my first mid-6-figures year in my business and was able to qualify for a mortgage on a dream home. I don't think I was consciously being prideful at all, but I simply lost a lot of my drive for growing the business. I just wanted to enjoy living in the new home, and when problems occurred with my 2 biggest clients, I didn't feel a lot of incentive to even try to work them out. I was relaxing in a beautiful place of my own for the first time in my life, growing a garden, meeting new neighbors, learning to slow down. I had made so much money in the previous years, while working myself straight into the emergency room from nervous system exhaustion, that I felt like I deserved a break.

Problem is, dream homes come with big mortgage payments. And eventually you've got to replace the income from large clients who walk. I made a lot of decisions that made life more and more enjoyable over the last few years, while letting the money cards fall wherever they may. 

Then about a year ago it became clear that this wasn't working. I then had to go back to working non-stop like right before I got this place, just to keep it. But this time, some years older and quite a bit wiser, I realized that going back wasn't the answer. I needed to move forward in a new way. So now I'm selling this dream home to someone who can more easily afford this dream, and recreating my dream someplace where I can afford to retire. 

It's true that I've entered a life phase that isn't about ambition or building a business, but then I have to also make choices about where to live that are consistent with that. I think some of the folks who previously had a lot of energy for building something who have been "resting on their laurels" maybe do need a rest. They just need to restructure their lives to support that and go all in on what that means. Otherwise, despair!

Accountability is very important if you want to be successful not just in business but also in life.
This is a great reminder of not to get into that comfort zone once you think you are on top.
Thanks @surfermarly

A very special article. Your words are true
You are a truly educated person
I wish you a happy weekend

When i was at school i read a story with the moral lesson " Pride hath a fall". Since then i was injected in my mind through my environment that PRIDE is a Devil's slogan, you should have to avoid of it. 
Off course accountability boosts the honesty and make the situation even ore clear. 
>As an entrepreneur you don't only need to be answerable to yourself but also to eventual partners and stakeholders that have an equitable interest in your business.

Thank you so much for providing the wonderful blog to minimize this mental disorder,  MARLY :)

Great post. You're right that whenever you start to feel "comfortable" and take your foot off the accelerator, the universe seems to have this amazing knack of slowly but surely taking away what you've achieved.... Until you realise that you've got to keep on keeping on!

Accountability counts for all parts of life, if you take accountability for your actions and teach this your kids, then life will be a completely different experience. It's something I've always told my teams in hotels, 'that table is your responsibility, from the moment they sit down until the leave', the same for the quest checking in. This is how you create loyal customers by making your staff realise their responsibility but the ultimate accountability lies with you as departmental head. 

Companies have to do this on all levels in their organisation and the same goes for steem(it). If you stagnate or stop listening to the people who made you 1 of 2 things will happen, 1 business stagnates and hopefully you realise in time and take remedial action or 2 business declines, customers complain and leave and this has a knock-on effect and you won't be able to recover anymore.

Great post!
