What is the Difference between Active and Passive Accountability?

10X Real Estate Marketing & Coaching

Hey there at 10 X real estate warrior. What's up Charles, your host. So today we're actually taking you on the road, rabbits about five 45 in the morning, about 45 degrees. And we're doing our morning workout, check out the 10 X personal success formula. One of the first things we did early this morning, uh, it was called sitting quiet. The second thing that we're going to do is affirmations. We're reaffirming what we are, who we plan to be and what our intentions are. We're going to visualize that, visualize that. And then the third thing is exercise going to talk today about accountability. What is accountability more importantly, are you doing active or passive accountability? Do you have an accountability group? And if you hear me huffing and puffing a little bit, or actually warming up for a five mile run, uh, as I'm talking to you.

So I figured, let me just get this real state warriors are not the average and order 1% crazy do differently. As far as accountability goes in order to achieve their goals and their dreams. First thing is an account of what is accountability. Accountability is putting yourself in a situation where you're allowing others to help you remain on task and on purpose. We can either do that. What I'm going to call it a 10 X hack, I'll use it the old school way and the tactical way, which was for me and my friends had sheets and checklists, and I had these daily checklist with routine items on it and I would check it off. And my goal was to get at least 85% of what I committed to for the day and the list. You know, nobody's perfect, but you can remain at 80%. You could actually Mark your calendar as being consistent.

So what was another way to do it or the way to do it was enrolling my, you know, my coaches would do it or they did it a little bit differently, but they did was made me write checks for 500 or a thousand dollars and leave them blank, send them five checks. One of my accountability, coaches, mentors really is Tony, the shallow, which was a blessing. Tony said, Hey, you need to have your objection. Handlers in your shrift needs to be handwritten and fax to my office or my office. It needs to have a time stamp on it for four or 5:00 AM. And if you don't, I'm going to actually take one of your checks and mail it to your biggest competitor. With a note that says, dear Tom Jones, I really appreciate your help. And I want to let you know, I made a commitment to my coach, live up to that commitment.

So here's a check from me to help you thrive your business. Bear in mind. That's a little, it's a little scary when you think about it, I've actually had it happen to me and it happens once. So what is another way to do accountability? That's maybe not as aggressive. I actually got walking up and blessed enough to meet about 25 guys. Ability chat, chat has been going on for years. And what I've kind of learned was at first it was just phone numbers. Then when I started to figure out who was who I realized like, wow, Holy cow, these guys are like, world-class people like not to impress you, but more to impress upon you that even these guys at their level look for additional accountability, you know, Jake hinder of nae and he actually Realty, uh, Michael Reese, which day was a celebrity digital digital president.

I forget the name of the book. We'll put it in the notes. Nickname, who is a world-class everyone producer writer, author podcast, host drill Sergeant Travis, man. He is probably one of the most solid guys in the group. And I will say the biggest transformation I've seen from the accountability has been woods Davidson. You know, as a joke, I actually texted him and I said, dude, I think I just ran into you and fixed it. Really what it was is if you'll look at him and you watch the transformation over 75 days of his commitment, he looks like a dummy that you would buy him a Dick's sporting goods, except what's actually, it looks better than the dummy. This is actually better than that. So how do you, how do you do this? Or do you don't have friends and family and people who hold you accountable?

Well, another way to do it is with technology and artificial intelligence. One of those things is to wake you up in the morning without an alarm clock or worse, some other way of waking yourself up. The second thing you can do is post your workouts every day. Almost every physical fitness app has the ability to post a workout onto social media. You say all like, he's just, he's just, uh, you know, Howard getting WASA. Herbert is, she is posting really sometimes like my wife and I will do it. We, you know, we don't post it for everybody else. We post it for ourselves. It actually gives us more mental and pushes us in the right direction. Honestly, I still think that that is a certain extent.

Passive accountability, active countability is like what I was talking about before, where checks and some kind of a, some kind of a repercussion, if you don't do it, um, I've gone as far as having a group of people that said, we're going to, we're going to lose weight. And the guy who loses the least amount of body fat is gonna wear a dress and he can't do it on stage. Yeah, actually we did it. I got, I was in the middle of the pack, but again, you know, there's other ways to do it. So what's a hack 10 X hack for accountability. So great app that I found is the Peloton app, but everybody knows that Peloton is the bike. They don't realize most of them don't realize is that app is actually an all around. It has in there right now. They're working on doing is it's the first six weeks of marathon training where they take you from ground zero and give you a workout.

Every day. Today's workout is do five mile run or four mile run, but I'm going to do five and walks you through it. What's interesting about the app is when I do the running programs though, you have the coach in your ear saying, Hey, I want you to walk now. And I want you to bend down and touch your toes, put your hips up, lifts up, up, make sure you're, you know, make sure your butt is in an over your feet, not a Highline and pushing out as you're pushing it out. You're getting tired. What are some of the other things that are interesting about that app is when you get done working out, you can actually share it and post it and do all that stuff. You can also actually look at your history to see, Hey, how many workouts would I do?

There's also challenges inside of the app on the bike. It actually has it too. But in the app, the showers for the month, it says, Hey, I'm going to work out this many times this month. And there's other people enrolled in that process. I will say community is probably not as robust as some other communities or like my, my app where my path, my accountability group, 10 X Hopkins, I call them really the best of the best. That level gives you the opportunity. Somebody else holding you accountable, reach your goal or your dream. You know, what's the definition of success, the progressive realization of a worthwhile goal or worthy ideal. And when you think about that, how do you increase that? Or how do you progressively track it? Duplicate it, repeat it and do it again. And again, grow the way you can grow in the way there's something.

If you track something, it gets bigger. That's why people I get on a scale every single day, most of the time, their bellies get bigger. They don't get smaller. So you're looking to get, go to the next level. You have to enroll somebody or something, hold you accountable. I'm going to give you a tip or a strategy to the secret tip. So I got over the years, I had a coach and a mentor who was probably changed my life. Um, he's got him, Mike, you guys know him. Incredible guy is probably I'm in my parties. I'm a typical Jersey kid out in LA for the seminar or in the inner circle with me, people like Chris Heller, who was the coach CEO of Keller Williams, Monica Reynolds, who now runs the math coaching program for Keller Williams, Annika Koska who wrote the actual program and started the company.

Tony Dicello is her spouse, who was just a world class trainer, coach speaker. And in that accountability, it was the top a hundred realtors in the country. And you had to do at least a half million dollars in volume or do a hundred units because some people live in areas where, you know, every deal was like 90 pounds or a hundred thousand, but they did 300 of them. So what did Mike do that actually held me accountable to myself on the way in the door to one of our quarterly meetings was the meeting for tracking the perfect customer. And Mike stops me at the door and he goes, you want to go to the next level? And I said, yeah, he goes, chefs, you know what you gotta do? Like Mike said, Joe, I said, hi. He said, you got to get married. I go, what?

He goes, you got to get married. He goes, you've got a house paid for, you got a dog, you got a car. You got a Tuesday girl, Thursday girl. He goes, you need to get married. You need to raise your accountability. He goes, I want you to do this exercise. Instead of writing out the 10 things, the 10 perfect helmets or characteristics of the perfect customer. I want you to write out 10 characteristics of the perfect spouse. And of course I did what my coach said. I wrote out a little thing. I put it on an index card. I fold it in half. I did. I said exactly what I was told, stuck it in my pocket. And I can't think of the guy's name right now. It was from acres of diamonds. And really what they said was put that three by five card in your pocket.

You don't even have to read it. You just got to put it in your pocket and I'll touch it. And it'll trigger your reticular plan in your head. Kind of like when you buy a new black SUV, it's funny how you pull out of the parking lot with it. And all of a sudden you see 15 of them within three blocks of your house. And it's like, the guy went off when it's everybody has said, Hey, he's pulling out in the role of black man's out. And where are you focused on some Memorial track reality and you manifest it. So I carried around the perfect 10 things I wanted to espouse in my pocket, talked about it, visualize it, firmed it every day for probably a year and a half. Ultimately I met my wife in Vermont and I've told her this the first time I met her, I said, Oh my God, I actually went back to the bar and got a shot because I realized that seven out of 10 had it.

By the time we went on the first date, I actually went in the bathroom of the restaurant and shot on the toilet and looked at that list. I realized I'd met my perfect soulmate. My partner in life. I'm going to say 16 years later, I'm still married. And you know, it's interesting is why that might tell you to go get married. I mean, who's it rise of his boons? Well, what Mike realized was I was stuck. I was stuck at a level in my life where I was comfortable and it was time for me to get out of being comfortable in being who I was and start to grow into who I wanted to be and who I said I was being who I told Mike and everybody in that group that I wanted to be this guy. I don't want to be this guy anymore.

And what Mike did was he raised my accountability. And then my wife, where is my accountability by saying, Hey, I want to have kids. So what do we do if you have two kids and I'm going to tell you, if you want something in your life and you want to raise the bar, you need help. You're married. Tell your youngest kid about your goal and your dream to some kind of reward for them. And I'm going to embarrass my kid. Patsy choose about three. We told my daughter, Katie, who is three years older than her. Hey, when your sister learns how to poop on the potty, we'll go to Disney. And they knew that once Patsy took on potty, we're going to do this. And because we don't want to do diapers and Disney, I think next thing you know, we're in the house and we hear mom, dad, mom, dad, come hurry up, come on.

Like, come on. She's still in it. And there is patchy on the toilet. And we're looking at her like she's, you know, on stage with like Madonna or something, screaming off the toilet going, we're going to Disney cause she's squeezing out of her. So I'm going to leave you with that as what are you going to do to raise your accountability?
