Looking for Success Accountability Partner
A lot of successful people say their success was boosted by being accountable to their productive/unproductive actions, be it through a mentorship, accountability partner or mastermind group.
Although it's out of my comfort zone, I think this is a good way to grow, and necessary for slicing down the absurd amounts of procrastination in my life. I've come to grips with the fact that it's really important to be a healthy person in all aspects, not just financially, so what I'm talking about could be accountability for health, business, fitness...
A bit of a rant here: I think we are totally out of control, and we are just creatures of habit. Everyone knows of at least one thing, where if they did it everyday (maybe it would only take 20mins - or less), their lives would be so much more fulfilling. Why don't we do this thing then? Until we can make a habit of it, it's so hard to make it happen. I think an accountability partner can help make this thing a habit, and then you can make the next necessary action a habit, and so on until success is inevitable. An oversimplification yes, but I still believe the idea has merit.
So I am looking for someone who feels the same way, and would agree to some sort of outline like the following:
1. We would start by each identifying one thing that we NEED to get under control for success - could be a daily morning ritual like Eben Pagan talks about, or it could be specific to business
2. We would each "throw our hat over the fence", meaning, we would create a situation where it would be more painful NOT to do the thing we chose. For example, if I don't spent 2 hours every day on my copywriting, I give my buddy $100, clean 3 of my friend's bathrooms, sit in the corner of shame, etc. Something to really leverage yourself into action
3. We would correspond daily at first (first 30 days?) until the habit becomes solidified, and then decide where to go from there
This sounds pretty regimented I know, but I think with a solid plan, it will be easier to know what we would both be committing to. Again, the things we could be accountable for could be anything at all.
Also, if you don't feel you need an accountability partner but feel you want to mentor, that's cool too
