Self-doubt can be a common trait for many of us. Especially when it comes to taking on something ‘big’.

I’ve been reminded recently to ‘never give up on your dreams’

And I thought it was such brilliant advice surely someone’s got that quote with their name on it… and they do - Barack Obama!

In the space of a few days I’ve heard such contrasting stories. Stories of some dreams being crushed, and of another’s, having been crushed many times, finally coming to be.

I was asked the question recently on a podcast interview as to whether a coach and others on my ‘team’ for certain goals helped me with accountability.

And I said ‘no, not really’. Because those goals we were talking about I owned completely. I didn’t need anyone to hold me to account. I wanted them to help me in other ways with their expertise, but nothing to do with accountability.
