How I lost a $500 Bet

A friend and I were discussing our struggles to hit our personal and professional goals. No problem with setting goals, just hitting them. We decided between the two of us to create some accountability; if one of us met a goal,we had to pay the other $500. In twenty dollar bills, of course, just to make it hurt a little more.

My friend missed her goals the first month, and it definitely felt weird taking her money. I was on a roll! I was hitting my goals month after month, until I wasn’t. I got careless, so I handed her $500 back.

At Mission Met, Ricky (my business partner) and I use our software, Mission Met Center, to keep us on track with our team’s goals. What do you do to help hit your goals? Your team’s goals?
