Accountability lesson from the Republic of Socialists

A while back, “Email Players” subscriber Paul Campo dropped this dinger: === Hey Ben, From the Republic of the Socialists, that we call CA…I don't know if this is intentional by you (or maybe I'm the only one) but there's an element that you bring to your Horde. Let me explain... I've been noticing a lot of "Accountability" products on the shelves. I've never been a fan of those. It's weird, having a stranger "root" you on and hold you "accountable" to forward progression (I don't care about letting this fool down he's probably wacking it on his time-off instead of working). However... there's a hand full of people in my life (that I've never met expect brief phone calls and email exchanges) that are my "accountability" list. Meaning, when I start feeling down, discouraged, hard on myself, I hear that little el Ben tell me: "Stop being a bitch and get back to work. Or I'll kick you out of the horde. Get your shit together - this takes time, and you have all the time the world". And yes, you can use this for what you want. === I’ve ruthlessly mocked so-called “accountability” groups, coaches, etc for years. I ain’t talking about “devil on my shoulder” accountability like Paul is referring to my voice as. But the accountability industrial complex. At worst, it’s just weak. At best it shows those craving accountability aren’t all that “in” to whatever it is they are being held accountable for, and should be doing or selling something else. (i.e., do you need to be held accountable to watch your favorite TV show each week?) My opinion. Do whatever you want with it. If you have the ability to feed, dress, and work without needing to be held accountable by a 3rd party, my Email Players newsletter might be a good thing for your business. And incidentally, if you apply the info and take it seriously, you should not only not need "accountability", you will probably find yourself making everyone around you accountable to you, or jettison them from your sight.
