What is an Accountability Coach?

"If you can dream it, you can do it." -- Walt Disney

Wouldn’t it be great if our ‘good intentions’ worked the way that we think they should?
Not even enthusiasm guarantees positive results. There’s often a wide gap between our
intentions and our actions. Poor follow through – consciously deciding to do something,
but then not doing it – is a fact of life for many of us. We fail to take the action necessary
to be in alignment with our good intentions. This can be very frustrating.

Poor follow through takes a toll on virtually every aspect of our lives. It not only
threatens our health, but it also prevents us from achieving personal, financial, and career
goals that are well within our reach.

Good intentions don’t magically lead to good results. They are a start; however,
they are unfortunately not enough. This is just the truth!

ENTER: THE ACCOUNTABILITY COACH™

An Accountability Coach:
* Specializes in helping you to create work life balance
* Has “road tested” all the business success systems that help you to achieve your
goals
* Helps you to get crystal clear on your professional and personal goals – short-
term and long-term
* Keeps you consistently focused on your “highest payoff activities” necessary to
achieve your goals, so you can ultimately enjoy your ideal business and ideal life.

The Accountability Coach isn’t a therapist, a nutrition expert, or a fitness trainer. Your
Accountability Coach is a “process expert” – guiding your journey and coaching you to
your destination, with the end results accomplished by you. They allow you to invest in
yourself. When appropriate, they recommend other professionals or specialists that assist
in achieving specific goals. Bottom line: Your Accountability Coach holds you
accountable to follow through with your “good intentions”. As the ‘player’, you are
taking the action to make things happen. Making great strides toward achieving your
goals is empowering. You feel wonderful with the inevitable result of maintaining a more
balanced and enjoyable life.

Your Accountability Coach meets with you on a regular basis to discuss progress and any
current professional and personal issues you wish to make even better. The
Accountability Coach cares about helping you achieve the goals you set within the
timeframes you desire. They help you think outside the box, coming up with new
strategies to assist you in moving from where you are now to where you want to be.

want to be. You may have to get creative to move to your next level – and we all have a

insight, you will accomplish what you used to only intend to accomplish. Most of us,
when left to our own devices, just can’t do it alone. And there is nothing wrong with this.

you?

compelled to take action, so that you can experience and exciting process that will

What an Accountability Coach Does for You

People seeking the expert guidance of an Accountability Coach, specializing in overall

life balance, should look for coaches who are successful in helping others improve their
professional and personal lives by using the systems that they have created. Your Coach
should have a genuine interest in assisting you achieve all your goals within the
timeframes you establish. They should be honest, telling you the truth as they see it, not
just what you want to hear. They should also be willing to risk the relationship – always
putting your best interest first and foremost. An Accountability Coach is an investment
you make in yourself and in your profession. It will have an immediate and lasting effect
on your life.

Your Accountability Coach:

they help you set specific goals, develop a plan, and require you to implement
your plan.

creating life balance.

The hard part is doing it." -- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

The following are characteristics of a successful Accountability Coach. These traits can
make the difference in your overall success – as you define it. An effective

them and for others they have coached. Assists you in clearly defining goals, and
creating specific tactics and strategies for accomplishing those life goals.

encouragement, feedback, and always telling you the truth, as they see it.

• Your partner, an advocate and a mentor, whose commitment is to inspire you to be

the best you. They help create the space that you need to work effectively and
easily.

• A little selfish, in that they love the feeling they get when you progress in fulfilling
what is truly important to you in life.

"Stop rationalizing, stop stewing. Get up out of your chair and start doing."
-- Denis Waitley

"Your belief determines your action and your action determines your results,
but first you have to believe." -- Mark Victor Hansen

What is Important in a Coaching Relationship?

The key to an effective relationship between your Coach and you is commitment. Both
must devote time to establishing trust, while creating and maintaining open and honest
communication. Foremost, you must believe in yourself and in your coach’s ability to
guide you to your goals.

More specifically, the essential traits that enhance the Coaching relationship are:

• Trust – built through honest and direct communication.

• Belief – a key component to overall success. Belief in yourself, and your abilities.
Belief in the process and in your Coach. Belief that you can do whatever you set
your mind to do.

• Expectations – established as the Coach encourages you to set and achieve your
goals, keeping in mind that, if necessary, course corrections are allowed.

• Respect – established through the recognition of the coach’s experience,

knowledge, abilities and results.

• Partnership / Synergy – established through the recognition that you and your
coach are partners in helping you attain what you desire. The partnership does
more than the client can do alone.

• Structure – established initially through proven systems provided by the Coach

which the client modifies to fit a personalized structure that creates laser focus.
This produces effective results with the least amount of effort possible.

• Time – recognizes that you both set aside specific time to talk two times per
month, based on personal schedules.

"It's a strange thing, you have said it thousands of times I am sure...you will never know
what you can do until you try. However the sad truth is that most people never try
anything until they know they can do it." -- Bob Proctor

Belief + Commitment + Increased Focus = Stupendous RESULTS!

What are Some Signs of a Successful Coaching Relationship?

• You are open to change and transition, and to exploring possibilities. Both you
and your Coach are inspired by the relationship and gain a great deal of
satisfaction from the progress that you make toward achieving of your goals.

• There is a commitment to understanding and growing by confronting issues that

may arise.

• You feel a bond or connection with your coach, experiencing the relationship as
one of value in which you know they have your best interest in mind – even when
they have to tell you things you should, but may not like to hear.

• Your Coach brings to the relationship their personal experience, skills and
successes, along with experiences that others have had in reaching their
professional and personal successes.

• You bring a desire to succeed, along with a commitment and willingness to do

whatever it takes to reach your next level of success so that you can experience an
even better quality of life.

• You don’t waste time providing excuses to your coach. You are focused on
creating ways to make things happen in order for you to reach your highest
potential. We don’t look back – we only look forward.

"Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power
becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs."
-- Dr. Maxwell Maltz

"The only real limitation on your abilities is the level of your desires. If you want it badly
enough, there are no limits on what you can achieve." -- Brian Tracy

"If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind before you
actually arrive at your goal." -- Zig Ziglar

“We must learn to apply all that we know so that we can attract all that we want.”
--Jim Rohn

How Does Accountability Coaching Work?

There are various venues for Accountability Coaching. The one-on-one coaching
partnership begins with two one-hour start-up sessions in which you evaluate where you
are today in the eight areas of your life. This is the foundation from which all of your
goals (long-term and short-term) will evolve. Following that, you and your Coach will
meet two times per month on the telephone. You will assess progress and review the
changes that have occurred, to set strategy, to clarify your current issues and goals, and to
set your goals and objectives that you will focus on between now and the next
appointment.

The Start-up Session

Your one-on-one Accountability Coach will schedule two one-hour start-up coaching
sessions. In these sessions, your coach will review the requested homework you
completed prior to the initial appointments. You will discuss progress and ensure we are
focused on specific activities that will help you achieve your goals in the timeframe you
established. You will be provided with sample tracking systems to help you quickly
create personal tracking systems for maximum effectiveness. You will receive an
agreement at the same time as the initial homework request. The start-up sessions set the
tone and communication style for the coaching relationship. These are the sessions in
which you set your life-time, long-range, and short-term goals and objectives.

Ongoing Coaching Sessions

On a regular schedule, you and your Coach talk to:

• Review “homework” assignments and progress on agreements you made since the
previous session.

• Identify and clarify the goals and objectives for you for your next coaching
session.

• Create a plan for meeting your goals and objectives during the next coaching
session.

• Check in on your progress toward creating life balance.

"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating
desire which transcends everything." -- Napoleon Hill

"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination."
-- Tommy Lasorda

People Who Benefit the Most from Working with Anne Bachrach

Left to our own devices most people don’t do all the things they know they should do to
get to where they want to ultimately be. You probably have experienced this just like I
have in some area of your life. Unfortunately, our good intentions don’t always control
our actions. Sometimes we do take action on our good intentions, but in short matter of
time, many of us find we often start to slip and revert back to our old ways. Having
someone in your life that helps you follow through with your good intentions by holding
you accountable, will in the end, turn those intentions into the results you desire.

Are you someone who…

▪ Has a strong desire to reach your next level and tap into your true potential.
▪ Will do whatever it takes to obtain your next level. Do you have a big and compelling
future?
▪ Is not happy with the level of success you are currently at.
▪ Would like to accelerate desired results, goals, dreams and desires.
▪ Is sick and tired of being sick and tired.
▪ Reassess’ areas to change to help to become more successful.
▪ Wants a more balanced life, and want to be able to sustain that life balance.
▪ Will follow a proven successful process.
▪ Understands excuses do not suffice in meeting your goals.
▪ Will focus and take action on activities to get you to where you want to be.
▪ Wants someone to help keep you on track so you can have the kind of life and
business you want and believe you deserve.

 Success Stories from a Few Coaching Clients

Don VanLandingham, CPA/PFS

“Anne Bachrach has worked with me as my "Life Coach" for two years now. During this time I
have accomplished more in every area of my life, and I attribute that to Anne's coaching. I
originally signed on with Anne to help me get more focused on my business, and yes she has
helped me do that. But the biggest value I have gotten from her is in my quality-of-life. My
marriage is better, my physical health is better, I am more focused on the spiritual aspects of my
life, my relationships with my children and friends are better, and I am just having more fun
than ever before!

I highly recommend Anne for her coaching, but beware, you better be serious and ready to make
changes. She doesn't fool around!”

Mark McKenna Little

“There are not many people I can point to that I credit my success and financial independence to,
but Anne you are one. Based upon my experience and success through the accountability
coaching I received from you, every major goal in my life has come to pass. From building up a
multi-million dollar business to losing 140 pounds of excess weight, your "no-nonsense
encouragement" was the key to maintaining my momentum, even (especially) during times of
discouragement.

You told me what I needed to hear, not just what I wanted to hear, and encouraged me to change
goals when it was clear I wasn't willing to make the effort required of a goal. In the end, the
"secret ingredient" of success, for me, was accountability. Why it is that I don't always do the
things I know I need to do to succeed is irrelevant, the key was finding someone like you, Anne,
who didn't care about my excuses. You cared only for me and were the advocate for the goals I
said I wanted. How can I ever thank you?"

Hank Kochan

“Since October 2002, when I started working with Anne as my coach and mentor, my business
revenue has increased at least 21% every year, while keeping my expenses low. I am working
less than 20 hours per week and my personal and business life is a lot more than just fun to me. I
love every aspect of my life. Having all the financial independence and free time I have now, has
given me a quality of life that is beyond what words can express. As one of my clients just said
to me, "I am definitely walking my talk". Thank you Anne for being there to help me stay
focused and on track to what I needed to do so I could have this great life. It has been a great

experience and I look forward to continuing to work with you for years to come.”

Mona Santos

“I began working with Anne as my strategic coach in January of 2007; in that time she has
helped me change not only my business, but my life. With Anne's help, no excuses attitude and
amazing ability to see through the fog of my own distractions, I have not only achieved one of
the goals I was most afraid to set, but actually exceeded it. My personal life has flourished
because my professional life has structure and boundaries. Anne has helped me discover through
objective questioning and a judgment free attitude what I really want out of my life. She has
become a cheerleader, a sounding board and an inspiring coach. One of my biggest fears is that
some day she'll kick me out of the nest and tell me I can go it alone.”

Leslie Moyer

“I hired Anne as my coach to help me develop and execute a plan which would give me financial
freedom and create a rewarding everyday life. Her process has completely restructured the way I
focus my attention, so I can achieve my goals. I am amazed how her coaching has streamlined
my plan in only a few months. She has a unique gift to help others achieve their highest
potential. I would recommend her to everyone!”

Cynthia Heil, CFP®

“I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Anne. When I was originally seeking someone to
hold me accountable, I had thought it would be for my business goals; however, when I received
the starting package from Anne I realized we would be focusing on all areas of my life—what a
nice surprise! I have learned so much in the last 4 months while working with Anne. She has
challenged me to look at things in a different way, and to work to find true balance. I have never
felt so in control of my life and where I am going as I do right now! I own my business and am a
single Mom, and occasionally when things get crazy, I feel overwhelmed, or out of balance…
Anne has helped tremendously in that regard. I am continually having “aha” moments when we
talk. Anne has had an amazing impact on my life in such a short period of time. I am looking
forward to 2008 with great excitement and confidence!”

Dave Shepherd

“Being coached by you was the best coaching experience I have ever had. I definitely got more
than my moneys worth. You made me do what I needed and wanted to do but wasn’t doing. My
excuses didn’t matter if I really wanted to implement ideas and systems that I believed would
have a positive impact on my business and ultimately my life. Thank you for being tough, firm,
candid, and caring. Others should experience the valuable coaching you provide.”

© Anne Bachrach, The Accountability Coach™ Page 12

Franco Lombardo

“I didn’t nickname you the Accountability Pitbull for nothing. The #1 benefit of your coaching
to me is that if I don’t implement something right away, it won’t get done. I need someone to
push me to implement ideas that will help me be even more successful and you certainly did just
that. Thank you for all your help in getting me to do the things I need and want to do. Without
an accountability pit-bull they may never get done.”

Robert T. Haller

“The time you spend coaching me and holding me accountable was extremely positive. With
your help I hit all the goals we set. I had more confidence that I have ever had because I had a
specific game plan that I had to follow. As a result of being more focused, I found money that I
didn’t know my clients had, received a significantly larger amount of money as a result of
prospects doing business with me and I received quality referrals which led to even more
business. With your help, I know I can do anything.”

Kit Arbo

“One of the keys for me to be successful is to make a commitment and then be held accountable
for it. Last year I committed to doing some things that would make a difference in my life, but I
needed someone to help me follow through and actually do them; the person who motivated me
the most was you. I could tell you wanted me to succeed because you didn’t let me get away
with any excuses. As a result of holding me accountable, I was more focused than usual, which
enabled me to maximize the results of meetings with clients and prospects.”

Sherman Richard Found

“As a result of you holding me accountable, you made a major impact on the way I think. I
wouldn’t be where I am in my business today without the extra focus you gave me. You helped
motivate me which gave me additional confidence to reach and exceed my goals. Everyone who
wants to reach their next level, personally and professionally, needs a coach – you. Thank you.”

"Failure is not about insecurity. It's about lack of execution."

-- Jeffrey Gitomer

“Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the people doing it.”
