How many times have we talked about dreams and goals that we plan on achieving, but somehow we never end up accomplishing.  Turning dreams into reality requires accountability and discipline. Stop talking the talk, and start walking the walk. Here are a couple of techniques to help hold yourself accountable.

**Make a personal growth plan**
Write down your plan and your goals for the year. Use this as a map to help guide you when making tough decisions. Place it somewhere you can easily see it as a reminder of where you are headed in life.

**Ask for honest feedback**
I know, it’s hard to hear criticism, but healthy criticism can help you improve and get better. Find a mentor that you trust and is willing to do that for you.  Having someone to help hold you accountable and mentor you in life can really keep you on the right track.

**Set a schedule**
If you want to make a commitment in your life, you must set out time for it. Being organized with your time will help you maintain accountability.

**Track your progress**
Being able to reflect and see your progress can keep you inspired to keep going. If you are trying to live within a budget, it would be wise to track how much you spend daily and then reflect on it by the end of each week. Having check-in points will insure that you stay on track.
