Hey, y'all, you're listening to a Q&A with S&J.

Welcome to the Flip Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work.

We're your host, Shane and Jocelyn Sam.

We're a real family that figured out how to make our entire living online.

And now, we help other families do the same. Are you ready to flip your

life? All right. Let's get started. All right. This question is from Grant. It says I'm really trying

to get back onto the online business wagon after falling off for the last month. And I posted an action

plan this morning. Beyond the action plan forum, getting a legit accountability partner is something I've

mold around.

I like that mold around, but haven't seriously pursued yet.

For someone who struggles with consistency, do you think this would be worthwhile?

And how do I go about finding the right person?

Here's a little bit of the illusion of accountability partners.

It's one thing to have an accountability partner and you get together and you start doing this

and you're like, let's keep each other in check. But if you don't have consequences to not doing

the thing, you're probably not going to do it anyway. You know, like, if you have a deep relationship with someone who you respect and that's

your accountability partner, then yeah, that might work, you know.

But like even that, like, you know, I got a mastermind group.

We hold each other accountable and like, you know, by telling each other what we're doing and, you know, we're kind of chasing each other's greatness and try to do these different things. And, but like, you know, if I told them I was going to do something, I didn't do it, there wouldn't really be a consequence there. You know, if I tell Jocelyn, I've got to do something, there is a consequence because I'm letting her down. Yeah, there is. Lots of consequences. But like, I'm letting her down. You know, if I tell my son or my daughter that I'm going to pick them up after school and I don't show up, there's an emotional consequence to me not doing that. Right. So any accountability or any deadline has to have hard consequences to it or you're probably not going to do it. You know, it's why we charge for the Flip Your Life community. It's why this isn't a charity. It's not just because we want to make money, which we do, but it's because, you know, if you go pay your hard-earned money to get into a community and you post an action plan, it's not that you're really even holding yourself accountable to the people who read that, which you are a little bit, but it's like, I paid for this. I put my money down. I put skin in the game. I bet on myself. And if I don't take action on this, if I don't go watch those courses, if I don't go post questions in the forums, if I don't go answer, you know,

go get in with other people and reply and get an accountability partner and do my action

plan and celebrate my, if I don't do these things, I set my Ben Franklin on fire.

Like that's what that's for is to give that accountability to it, right? So you've got to
