Accountability partners - good idea or bad
idea
Welcome to another episode of
deconstructing life with Dan for more
happiness, joy and health, money, success and wealth. And on this video, I'm going to be
sharing with you an idea that's going to
help your life and business move ahead
significantly... and it's all about
accountability. So when we think about
accountability we think of and partners,
we think about you know maybe going to
the gym and having a personal trainer.
We might think about maybe our
partnerships, our spouse. That's an
accountability partnership we might
think about business. If we're in
business who can we have for
accountability partner, a coach or a
mentor.Somebody who knows better than us.
So is accountability beneficial or is it
a drag? I'm going to suggest that
it's beneficial if you select properly.
And the reason why I'm suggesting that
it's beneficial, especially if you select
properly, is because you can select
partnerships that are going to help you
grow. So you select somebody who knows
something that you don't and who has the
ability to work hard, and you know, to do
things that you might not do on a
consistent basis. And maybe some of that
knows things that you don't even want to
know like technical things. You know,
technology. So accountabilities, our
accountability partnerships serve one
purpose. The purpose is for you to become accountable. Not them being good at
helping you be accountable, but you being
self-accountable. That's the whole idea.
You make commitments to them so that you can develop the mental muscle and be
accountable to yourself. I understand
how this works. I am in a partnership
with one other person.
We have been reading every day since
2012. Yes,
that's eight years now we've been
reading every day
and we study books like this. We get
together and read for 30 minutes every
single day. That's an accountability
partnership! We even have what we
call a code of honor which is something
that you can develop so that you don't
have to you know get personal and upset
about when somebody doesn't show up or
they don't show up on time. You just have
a code and then you just quote the code.
So accountability partnerships can be
beneficial but the selection process
needs to be done right from the
beginning. You need to select
somebody who's further along in their
development than you or knows things
that you don't know. But if you select
somebody who's lower or who's kind of
wishy-washy and doesn't know how to
commit, forget it! It's not going work but
accountablity partnerships do work.
There's proof of it because they've
shown that when there are people that
are terminally ill that they gave
them an option to get healthy and well.
Most of them failed!  But then when
they put them in peer groups and help
them to support each other then, they
had a 70% chance.
So accountability partnerships do work.
Alright so as always thanks for watching
and I'll see you on my next video.
