Those who elect to go solo. Staying outside the zone is as instructive as choosing to remain in it, revealing by results whether it’s better to be a lone builder or a connected, committed one. Outside the zone are unchallenged excuses and vague expectations that could be defined by accountability’s revealing results.

Outside is where a no may seem like a confirmation that they just aren’t a good builder, and no one is there to tell them otherwise. Outside is where chocolate is considered a support system. Outside is where no one needs to be. In the accountability zone, support surrounds everyone, success thrives, and failure cannot endure. Accountability builds more than businesses—it builds leaders. It is an endlessly proactive, positive force in advancement and achievement. Decide today to live in the accountability zone. It will be the best change of address you ever make.
