Negative accountability - do this or else. It's a major part of life. It's what drives us in almost everything from a necessity perspective. In fact, a recent Zogby poll shows that a majority of those surveyed feel that accountability is something negative that happens to them - usually when things go wrong, rather than something they utilize to ensure success. But what about from a positive perspective? In almost everything we are accountable to an outside force. It's a negative influence for good. We drive the speed limit for fear of getting a ticket. We pay our taxes on time for fear of the government hauling us away. We keep our weight down and in shape when we aren't in a relationship for fear of not attracting a mate. We at least put on the appearance of work at our job for fear of being fired. The list goes on and on and on... fill in the blanks, write your own list. Even so, we do just enough to get by. We push the speed limit by 5-10 mph because that's the most we can push it and not get stopped. We pay our taxes on time though 41% of us pay within the last 30 days and 27% in the last 15 days. We may keep our weight down when pursuing the catch, but we put on the "freshmen 15" after we're caught. You can become 10 times more effective then you are now - in anything. Today. This book will not only show you how to use Positive Accountability to get almost anything done, it will walk with you all along the way. I'm not here to throw something at you and walk away. I'm here to add value, help you stay on target, and accomplish - to get you to where you want to go. One of my mentors, John Maxwell, says, "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." I want to go one more step to help you along the way and be there with you when you get there. I've been looking for the formula for getting started most of my life. I am an author and executive coach with the John Maxwell Team, the largest team of leadership trainers in the world. I dig deep with people who want to succeed and get to where they really want to go. I've been an entrepreneur for 27 years, and worked corporate America prior to that. I've started seven businesses. I love studying people, leadership methodologies, neuro-psychology, and things related to "why we do (or don't do) things." This book is about getting to your definition of success. Not just motivating you, not just inspiring you, not even just teaching you methodologies and procedures, but walking with you to get to your why and the success you define. If you want to stop procrastinating and start accomplishing, read this book. I will walk you through the procedure, which is extremely easy, and you can start succeeding, today. Thanks for the opportunity!
About the Author: I am the former President and CEO of DataDisc Media Manufacturing, and Marketing VP of the international training company, ICT. I have spent my career in the marketing, training, publishing, and media industries. I am also a professional musician. I have been a student of marketing since I was 14. I started in the mail-house posting and sorting outgoing direct mail and loved the idea of using a well written letter to help people learn about and buy our products. After college and 13 years later, I had moved up to Marketing VP for ICT, an international training company that also published a magazine that I created, as well as published many books. I am also a Certified Professional Coach with the John Maxwell Team. It has been a privilege and a delight to be sitting under John's mentorship. I am also a student of Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Steven Covey, Dave Ramsey, Maxwell Maltz, Napoleon Hill, and many others. I read incessantly. I love to add value to others. I focus on accomplishing - not only motivating and inspiring, or teaching and coaching - but getting real, extreme results. My desire, mission, and passion is to help you achieve your passion and the success you are looking to accomplish - whether it's financial, physical, spiritual, relational, career, intellectual, or anything else you define as success. I write on personal growth, leadership, accountability, scheduling, budgeting, having balance, productivity, and what it takes to get to where you want to go. My goal and my purpose is to help you succeed. I don't just want to give you content that teaches, but content that leads, pushes, helps, moves and otherwise drives you to accomplish. I want to give you both head knowledge and heart knowledge. I want to walk beside you in your journey to the top and help you any way I can. My passion is helping you find your passion, move from where you are to where you want to be, and live life to its fullest. I want you to succeed! I resonate with Florence Nightingale who said, "I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse." Yes, life happens and some excuses are legit. But we're going to set some precedents and consistently move toward success. I write, speak, coach, train, and consult full-time. I have been married to the most beautiful and wonderful women in the world for the past 36 years. We have five grown children, four sons and a daughter, and two grandchildren. We live outside of Washington, DC. See roycewhite.com
