"If it's to be, it's up to thee.
If it's more you want, be accountable to me."

Peer Consulting Partner Program

To find someone who will meet with you by phone weekly for 45-minutes throughout the year to accomplish these objectives:

1. Hold you accountable to your goals.
2. To provide basic consulting for you in the areas where you need assistance.
3. To teach you what accountability sessions are like from the "being held accountable" end.
4. To teach you how to conduct accountability and consulting sessions.

These are reciprocal meetings so you will accomplish these four objectives as will your peer-consulting partner. It can be a true "win-win" opportunity.

1. Find a "peer consulting partner" you’re comfortable with and that you respect.
2. Get together by phone and set-up your phone meetings for the entire calendar year. You have two choices for your meetings:
   • Option 1
     In each phone meeting you each take turns consulting one another. In this situation one will go first and act as the consultant. When done, the roles switch and the other acts as the consultant until done. The result is you are both being consulted and consulting every week.
   • Option 2
     In each phone meeting only one is consulted. In this situation, one will be the consultant for the entire meeting and the focus will be on the "peer partner" being consulted one meeting at a time, receiving consulting twice a month (every other week) and one each being the consultant twice a month (every other week).

1. Here is the process you will follow:
   1. 4-1-1 goals sheets and P & L (s) must be used for each meeting. If they have not been received then stop the meeting and resume once they have been received.
   2. Follow this consulting format:
   1. Recap your annual/monthly goals for me.
   2. Recap this past week’s goals for me.
   3. How did you do?
   4. How do you feel about that?
   5. Based on how you did, what do you need to do now?
   6. Do you know how to do it?
   7. Possible sidebars you may also ask if appropriate: How will you do it?
      • How will you find out how to do it?
      • Any obstacles?
      • Any issues we haven’t covered?
      • How are you doing on a scale of 1 to 10?
      • What will it take to make it a 10?
      • What is your biggest issue (or goal) that if you got at least that done this week (next two weeks) you’d feel great and your business would be in better shape?
   8. Bring closure by asking for a commitment: Are you committed to resolving these (achieving these) this week?
   9. Establish real consequences for non goal achievement. (Example: write a $100 check out to your toughest competitor and send it to your peer partner to hold. Should you miss a goal - they send out the check! OUCH!)
