Good Mornin’ Everyone

Quick update, tomorrow we will be announcing the winner of our gift card giveaway! Our following has grown exponentially these past two weeks and wether you’re here sticking around for the content or just for the gift card, i just want to personally say thank you for joining in. Also if you have any feedback that could help improve this newsletter please feel free to respond to this email. Anyways, it’s almost Friday so let’s f**kin get it.

Wether you’re an entrepreneur, a college student, a 9-5 worker, or retired. I think at one point we’ve all faced the challenge of staying on track with our goals and commitments. I don’t know about you but I’ve heard some pretty stupid sh*t over the years, especially when you’re working for a smaller business. Although I will say one of the strangely useful strategies I’ve discovered was to implement an “accountability partner”. Now, you’re probably wondering what the heck I’m talking about. But it’s exactly what it sounds like, it’s someone (usually a coworker) who’s on the same level of you with similar goals. For example, when I was working sales my accountability partner was someone who was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from me productivity wise. The idea is I would share my process with him and his with mine. It’s important to be humble and although you might know you’re better at something versus someone else, there is always something to be learned.

So, what are the benefits of having an accountability partner?

1. Enhanced motivation: When you know that someone is keeping an eye on your progress, it creates a sense of responsibility, driving you to perform better and stay committed to your goals.

2. Increased discipline: Having an accountability partner helps you stay focused on your tasks and ensures that you follow through on your commitments, even on days when you might feel a little lazy or uninspired.

3. Emotional support: We all have our ups and downs, and sometimes, all we need is someone to cheer us on or offer a listening ear. Your accountability partner can be that person who encourages and supports you through both good and bad times.

4. Valuable insights and ideas: Two heads are better than one! Your accountability partner can provide you with fresh perspectives, ideas, and solutions that you may not have thought of on your own.

5. Celebrating success: Who doesn't love a little celebration? Sharing your achievements with your accountability partner makes the victories all the more rewarding and helps strengthen your bond.

Now I know this sounds really cheesy and lame, and I almost hate to admit it but this whole “accountability partner” thing actually lead to one of the best weeks we’ve had as an office sales wise in months. Although I used this in a sales environment, if you’re a student you can use it with someone you’re studying with. Pretty much a study group where everyone actually cares about each other. If that makes sense.
