In this episode, Sean Osborn, the host of the Thinking Big Podcast, dives into the power of accountability systems and how they can significantly enhance our success rate in achieving our goals. Sean discusses the neuroscience behind accountability systems, explaining how our brains are wired for social interaction and how involving others in our goals can make the process more engaging and motivating. He also highlights the importance of having an accountability partner or system, explaining how it can leverage our brain's natural tendencies towards social interaction, rewards, and fear of social disapproval to keep us motivated and on track. Key Takeaways: Accountability systems can dramatically increase your chances of success and speed up your journey toward your goals. Our brains are inherently social, and involving others in our goals taps into this aspect, making the process more engaging and motivating. Having an accountability partner can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. The fear of letting others down can be a powerful motivator. When we commit to someone else that we're going to do something, we are more likely to follow through because we don't want to disappoint them. Accountability partners can help reduce stress and anxiety. Having someone else who's invested in our success can provide emotional support and help us manage those feelings. Accountability partners can help you track your goals, call out your BS, uncover your blind spots, act as a red light, serve as a sounding board, ease the pain, and be your partner in crime. There are three distinctive styles of accountability systems: individual accountability, team accountability, and reciprocal accountability. Each has its own benefits and can be used for different types of goals. Quotes: "One is too small of a number to achieve greatness." - John Maxwell "Accountability breeds responsibility." - Stephen Covey "On good teams, coaches hold players accountable. On great teams, players hold players accountable." - Joe Dumars Resources Mentioned: Sponsor: The Neuro Encoding Institute, for neuroscience-based coaching certification that empowers you with cutting-edge strategies.

It's not always easy, and there will be highs and lows, but having someone who understands and supports your goals can make all the difference. Remember, you don't travel alone. Surround yourself with the right company because proximity matters. There is power in proximity. FAQ: What is an accountability system?

Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Thinking Big Podcast. Today, we're debunking myths and challenging beliefs about motivation. The conventional wisdom tells us that motivation leads to action, and action yields results. But what if we've got it all wrong? What if it's action that fuels motivation, not the other way around?
