3 Important Business Lessons From Weight Watchers

Karen was feeling anxious.

She was about to walk into a room, step on a weighing scales and 20 other women were about to find out if she had lost 2Ibs in the last week.

Her sister’s wedding was looming as she had committed to losing 12 lbs in 8 weeks so she could fit into that dress she bought last year.

Now I must admit I have never been to a weight watchers meeting but friends of mine have. Millions of people all around the world are joined groups like Weight Watchers and Slimming World.

There are 3 keys to their success

1.??? Set a goal like Karen’s target was losing 12 lbs in 8 weeks.

2.??? Set a target for the next week e.g. lose 2lbs.

3.??? Accountability – step on those scales a week later and make sure you’re hit your target. You don’t want that awful feeling of not hitting your target in front of the group.

And the exact same steps will work for your business.

How do I know?

10 years ago, I joined a Mastermind group in the U.K.?

At the time, I had been labouring trying to write a business book.

To say progress for slow would be an understatement.

At the very 1st meeting, I committed to having my book finished within 3 months.

3 months later, I went back to that group with a draft of my book in my hand.

I was determined to complete my book.

I was not going to walk into that meeting and make excuses. ?

The book I was working on for years was completed in 3 months.

That’s the power of accountability.

It’s a cornerstone of Mastermind groups.
