BRX Pro Tip: Get an Accountability Partner
Stone Payton: And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s take a little page out of the lead’s tips for success. One of yours is get an accountability partner.
Lee Kantor: Yeah. I think that having an accountability partner is one of those things that people think they can do themselves, but it’s really helpful to have another person that you’re holding yourself accountable to if you really want to kind of accelerate your success. I think it’s important for an accountability partner to capture, to have a conversation maybe weekly, monthly, daily, however you want to do it, at least weekly. You want to be able to capture the wins for the week. You want to capture the losses for the week.
Lee Kantor: And you want to kind of discuss some tweaks you can do to have more wins and have less losses. And you really want to be mindful about what you’ve learned each week so you don’t keep making the same mistake over and over again because I think that people get into a rut of doing the same thing. Every day is the same day. You know, it’s Groundhog Day. And you really have to step back and reflect and look back at the week and then, use that time to say, “Okay, what do we do right? What did we do wrong? How we’re going to fix it? What have we learned?” And then, use that data to have a better week next week.
Stone Payton: Well, I’ll tell you, it helps me focus and refocus because it’s so easy for me to get distracted by shiny things and get busy and caught up. But if I know, you know, Monday at 10:00, I’m going to have a conversation with Lee about this sort of activities in which I was supposed to engage and we’re going to talk about what results we’ve got and what tweaks we need to make, I’m going to focus, refocus and get some real work done in that direction.
Lee Kantor: Yeah. I think it’s the rhythm. You want to have a rhythm. Do this regularly. Take the time to reflect or else, you’re just going to get on that kind of the wheel that the hamster spin on. And, you know, all the days kind of meld together. And then, our work, it’s easy to just, you know, be busy doing the work because there’s always a show. Tomorrow, there’s a new show. And tomorrow, there’s going to be a handful of people that are going to be amazing, people that we just met. So, it’s important to take a moment to reflect, capture the wins, the losses, make some tweaks and reflect on the learnings every single week.
