Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

October 18, 2023 The more the project continues, the more I grow a greater appreciation for accountability partners. They are people who are there to support you and have an extra set of eyes that may see things you don’t. My coach is a great accountability partner. She catches things that I sometimes don’t and is always able to educate me in things I may not know. I’m often a procrastinator and she catches anything I may lack in before I have the chance to do so. A relevant example of this is when I accumulated a balance on my credit card, she noticed right away and contacted me and wanted to come up with a plan to pay it off as quickly as possible. In the past, I would slowly pay off the balance, accumulate interest and end up paying what I put toward the balance in interest instead. Honestly, that would have been the quick fix and easy option – put it off and not think about it. This project was in the front of my mind when I thought about that as a possible pay off plan. Luckily, I was able to pay it off quickly with no procrastination or added effects. That situation was very impressive to me and stuck with me – the quick response of my coach but also the change I’ve made by the things I’ve learned and experienced while participating in Project Money.
