Are You Accountable?

Recently, I had the opportunity to share an educational piece with a local networking group. It was a follow-up to a talk I did a few weeks prior on setting new habits that would transform their lives. It was 2 weeks later and I started out purposely finding out how accountable the members were to their new life-changing habits. The outcome was encouraging as over half had taken action. They were accountable and for a local group of successfully run companies, I was not surprised. These members knew I was doing a second talk 2 weeks later and perceived that I may ask the accountability question. They were prepared. I have done this same talk in other venues. The overwhelming #1 habit people want to change relates to their health. I observed a similar result. The groups that I returned to had over 50% implementation and accountability. The others had less than a 10% rate of implementation. Accountability is vital. Let's link this back to "Goal-Setting IV - The Accountability Roadmap" Only 17% set goals! 3% write them down and less than 1% have accountability around their goals. The success rates are as follows: 10x for goal-setters over non-goal-setters, 30x for written goals over non-goal-setters, and 100x for accountable to goals over non-goal-setters. 
In the spirit of accountability, I'll share a short update from my life. I set several goals in "2 Rewards and 1 Consequence". Here are my stated October 31, 2022 goals:
  1. C3: Add 4 locations (to 20) or add $2,500/month revenue --> We added 2 locations at $1,925/month revenue and lost 1 small one totalling $200/month.
  2. C3: Add 2 Team Members (to 6) --> We added 2 Team Members and lost 1, so we have 5 total.
  3. Health: Do my 3x3 workouts weekly, be 90% gluten-free, complete a 10-day water-only fast, and sleep 8 hours per night to achieve 165 lbs, 20 chin-ups, half-mile treadmill at 9 mph, and 100 calories burned for 15 minutes at resistance 10 on the rowing machine --> I CRUSHED every one of these health goals!

Teresa and I celebrated with a 3-day getaway to Amish Country as our reward! Now, we're going for the next 90-day goals sprint to secure our 2nd month-long family trip to Florida! What are you being held accountable to? The Smart Cleaning School has a great resource for you! It's called the Smart Cleaning Tribe, where the 1% of the cleaning industry meet weekly to create goals and hold each other accountable to achieving them! I'd love to connect with you and potentially invite you into this Tribe!

Here's a clip from that talk I did with my local networking group for you to hear the interaction in the room.
