Would you like to have an accountability partner?

[lightbulb27]

Have you ever had this or want one?

That is... someone you talk to and gain support emotional, encouragement to stay focused on what is important.

The value of this is for people whom don't stay focused on goals, or need extra support and encouragement and ideas to move forward, they can tap others expertise or just encouragement.

Multiple people could do this as well.

Is this something you are interested in either same sex, or co-ed?

Yes I have

I would if found a compatible one

Already have one

No, I'm not interested

When I had a business, I felt like if he even had to say anything to me, it was too late. Ihe had a wife and two kids. The sense of responsibility that gave me was immense and as he saw that, we developed a relationship of always improving and looking out for eachother. Sleep, exercise, social skills, technical skills, having someone to go up to you and say "hey, you got a lot going on let's get food and talk about whatever you want."

And one of us would be worried we didn't have enough time so we constantly fought to catch up to eachother skill wise so that we could pick up each other's work. It was in many ways a beautiful relationship.

Everyone who wants to do incredible things should look for someone like that and carefully cultivate it when it begins. It took us maybe 2-3 years to get to that point.

[lightbulb27]

That's awsome, amazing to find.
Had or have?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Ehh, that a complicated question. I left our business when the pandemic happened. So for one thing we don't live in the same house anymore. So the dynamic continued just in a less intense way. We were doing well enough that with the clients we had and the way things were set up at the time it was a good time for me to leave. He could do enough of the work on his own to support his family and just call me when things get hairy. The guys in his 50's and I'm not even 30 so even as a mentor it's amazing he could keep up with me as good as he did but it was time for me to start my own thing because I'm completely insaine and want to take over the world 😂

I know that's a little all over the place but something tells me you'll get it. Didn't you have a storied career too?

[lightbulb27]

You sound high drive, probably computer guy... or maybe mechanic, but probably techie!
Yes I did, I worked like nuts in software world, loved that for long time. Wish I could get back into it, it's so much fun now, so much to learn, but I'm kinda burnt on it all and hard on the brain. I'd rather be breathing fresh air and using my hands if I can... just happier than dealing with endless stress, interrupts, emails of corporate. blech!
But for someone with high drive, so much going on, so many directions to go. From Quantum computers to AI to chips to network security and cloud stuff and space stuff. Lots of fun, it's a huge sandbox.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Yes! I worked in video production. We made product shots in the studio and shot on location for everything from non profits to television.

My old man is in develops software for a company who's business requires tools for its workers to access large sql databases. So I learned my high drive from him 😂 the man's a beast.

But I see the same thing happening to him so Im racing to be his safety net before he needs one.

And yes, I am working with ai. It's amazing, my dad loves it. I actually think it's made him a happier person.

[lightbulb27]

very exciting and dynamic time! I need to play with it more, it's the future. scary, but the future. I've had ideas over time of movies and skits and be fun to make them, but technically don't have those skills. most be animations. Seems the tools are coming to turn ideas into actual movies...

Interesting because I had a dear friend fill that role for me when I was unemployed and job searching. She lives half way across the country, so she texted me/phone calls etc. Looking for a job can get very discouraging very fast. She gave me realistic goals, kept me focused and motivated. It took me four months to find my current job. I think it would have been longer without my 'coach'.

[lightbulb27]

That's a good one!

I have a therapist who help me through the things you mentioned. My partner also takes a huge part in playing the “accountability partner role” in our relationship. I don’t think it’s healthy for someone outside of a therapist to take on that role tho

[lightbulb27]

Glad to hear, good perspective. Hadn't thought of that.

[Yannishka]

Well yes, that's like the base requirement to have to be a proper partner.

[lightbulb27]

That's a great perspective that honestly, I never heard at your age.

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach here, let me tell you that having an accountability partner can be a game-changer, just like finding that perfect Netflix series to binge! It's all about that emotional support, encouragement, and doses of motivation we sometimes need. Whether same-sex or co-ed, it’s more about the vibe and trust. Just make sure it's someone who’s got your back, not someone where you'll always be side-eyeing their intentions. Partners in crime, but for goals! 😉

[Lliam]

I have one. She's my wife. She gives me encouragement and support. We consult each other and I value her thoughts, ideas, perceptiveness, advice and input.

[lightbulb27]

That's a great wife!

[lightbulb27]

I got a great wife as well, are fortunate if can work so well together.

[queenofcardio]

I had one before but she got so busy with life. We barely take anymore. I was more motivated than she was.

[AngryCarl2]

My friends are my accountability partners. I give them a weekly report on my progress.

[msc545]

Not interested. I don't need anybody monitoring what I do and say.

[katiesmuff]

I have one and he is my husband

[lightbulb27]

Excellent, you are very fortunate. I do as well!

[236color]

Like Speaker Mike Johnson who's son watches over his porn use? Pass.

[Nikki1989]

I have many good friends for that already.

[NathanDavis]

I call them friends... and family

[Anonymous]

I'm single, always have been, I can't even imagine that.

[exitseven]

nah, I am accountable enough.
