Are you accountable to your dreams?

We’ve all made grand resolutions that somehow fizzled out. The best-laid plans go awry because we’re often weak managers of ourselves. When Pete Mockaitis shared these frustrations with friends, they started a conversation and a movement that forever changed their lives.

In Team Up, Mockaitis shares the riveting first-hand story of how a simple question evolved into a powerful approach for personal transformation: “Do you think we should hold each other accountable?” Through their ordinary struggles and extraordinary candor, these friends found a way to make their resolutions stick once and for all. Their moving dialogue and powerful results will inspire you to become accountable to your dreams.

When the narrative concludes, Mockaitis illuminates the simple, timeless principles underlying the group’s success: establishing goals, tracking progress, and sharing commitments. By exploring practitioners as varied as the ancient Greeks, Benjamin Franklin, and Web 2.0 entrepreneurs, Team Up offers varied tactics for putting these principles into practice. These differing approaches equip you with the building blocks required to design an accountable lifestyle that fits you. The combination provides an inspirational toolkit to help you create a life in which you progressively realize your greatest dreams…with a little help from your friends. Whether you choose to invest a little or a lot of yourself, Team Up shows how to tap into the power of mutual accountability to reach previously-elusive levels of vitality, success, and intimacy. Welcome to an extraordinary adventure!
