Accountability.

This may not be easy to hear, but the reason you're not making progress may be resting entirely on you.

Fitness professionals are not enablers.  They are teachers, coaches and motivators.  Even when you've made the sacrifice to hire a professional, it's imperative that you give an "A" (90% or better) effort toward your endeavors -- both in the gym and on your own time.

Fitness professionals provide the tools and guidance to get you on the path to improved fitness and health.

The onus to change has to come from within you.

The physical labor has to be done by you.

The choices of when and what to eat have to be made by you.

The price of being tenacious and consistent has to be paid by you.

The courage to speak up if you need more guidance has to come from you.

If the professional you've hired is giving you all that he can, everything he's trained to provide and all that you asked for. . . and you're still not getting the results you want, look within yourself first before you place the blame on something or someone else around you.

That accountability for your own success will likely be exactly what you need to turn your dreams to golden reality.

I could have never agreed more. Sometimes all you need is to hold yourself accountable about it, then everything else will follow. I came across the Young Entrepreneur Society from www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com ffound related content about accountability.
