First off just want to say I’m delighted to have join us. Hey brother! For some context, Stéphane and I met years ago at a mankind event and then separately at a retreat in France. We spoke recently and a topic that came up was accountability buddies. We didn’t go into it but I wanted to write out some thoughts that many of us can all benefit from. First off, I think accountability buddies are a very helpful structure. I’ve used them plenty of times in my life. I think it works on the same principles as having a coach, being part of a mastermind group, and having a job.
I think we all need support in our life - and for me it’s around the topics and projects on which I’m not internally motivated enough to follow up on.
Because we each have the ability to follow through on things - but we struggle when there aren’t enough reasons that actually means something to us. Thats when we need someone else.
For example, if your house was on fire right now, I have no doubt you have enough motivation to get up.
Or if you had to be up at 4 am tomorrow morning to receive €1 million - you would be and it would be easy for you.
But we all know there is more complexity to this stuff than that.
