Do you want to? Or do you HAVE to?

Does accountability conjure up a good feeling, Reader? Or is it a bad feeling? I'm going to hit you with a hard truth AND a hot tip here. If you conjure up a negative feeling when it comes to accountability... ...that might actually be the biggest growth area for you. (Because isolation is the enemy of excellence.) Now, I don't deny it...there are definitely some negative connotations to accountability. I had a form of accountability as a child, and you probably did too. It wasn't all that fun. 😅 No doubt, there are some people who do accountability the wrong way. For sure. BUT I can tell you that joyful accountability is an amazing thing. So instead of avoiding accountability altogether, I'm going to encourage you to find the right accountability. The right accountability (i.e. joyful accountability) is a person or group of people that hold you accountable to being the best version of yourself. It's a space where you share your vision and your plan with other people. And simply, you say what you're going to do. Then you do it. Because you said you would. And when you slip up? (Because let's be real - we all inevitably do.) That person or group steps in to signal that you're not living in alignment with what you said you're going to do. It's want to versus have to. When you commit to something in front of other people, you feel like you have to do what you say. (Rather than sitting back on your heels merely wanting to do something.) In fact, here's a study by the American Society of Training & Development showing how likely you are to achieve a goal, based on how far you take it...
95% chance of achieving. Versus where most people stop: Having an idea or goal (10%) or Consciously deciding you'll do it (25%). That's huge. I believe we're built for community. That we're built to share things that matter with each other. And when you can do that, it makes all the difference. So let me ask you this: In each area of life you're trying to impact (health, business, etc.)... ...Are you isolated? Or do you have joyful accountability? If it's the former and you're not getting anywhere, now you know how to fix it. Brian Whenever you're ready, there are 2 ways I can help you:

I was talking with a coaching client recently, and the breakthrough he shared with me was too good to keep to myself. He’s not new to the game. Decades in the mortgage industry. A seasoned pro. But even with all that experience, he hit a wall. Referrals had slowed down. Business felt harder than it should. The spark was fading. Then something shifted. Over the last few months, his referrals literally tripled. His excitement for the business shot through the roof. Momentum returned. So of...
Let's talk about flywheels, and what they can do for your business. There are four stages of a flywheel: It starts slowly. If you think about an industrial flywheel, it's a big wheel that moves a lot of things, and it takes some work to get it started from stopped. It builds momentum. Once it gets going, you may have to give it nudges here and there to keep it going, but it's decent good momentum. And it's way easier than starting from stopped, like at the beginning. It reinforces and...
One problem I know everyone's always looking to solve: Getting ideal clients to come their way as often as possible. So here's some quick inspiration I wanted to share from a coaching client. This client has built his own referral flywheel, centered around a monthly event. Let's back up a sec. First of all, he's got built-in systems for how he's connecting with people. He's reaching out on a monthly basis. Making calls, checking in on people. Just simply loving on people. That's all he's...
