How Accountability Groups Work (LA 1395)

Transcript:



Steven Butala:

Steve and Jill here.



Jill DeWit:

Hello.



Steven Butala:

Welcome to The Land Academy Show, entertaining land, investment talk. I'm Steven, Jack Butala.



Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill Dewitt, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.



Steven Butala:

Today Jill and I talk about how accountability groups work. Seems like a basic thing doesn't it? It's not at all.



Jill DeWit:

Accountability.



Steven Butala:

It's incredibly-



Jill DeWit:

We know what that means.



Steven Butala:

... confusing. The feedback that we're getting from members and non-members alike is either the people are either dramatically requesting it, like, "Wow, where's your accountability group? How can I join one? What's the deal?" Or they're saying, "What's an accountability group?"



Jill DeWit:

Or, "Don't pick me because I can't be held accountable."



Steven Butala:

Or I just think... At my age, accountability just went along with being a-



Jill DeWit:

A grown-up.



Steven Butala:

Growing up. I don't know how old Jill is for real, but I'm guessing it's the same with her too.



Jill DeWit:

Nice.



Steven Butala:

Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.



Jill DeWit:

Age, it just changes every day, doesn't it?



Steven Butala:

I don't understand this whole age thing.



Jill DeWit:

I know.



Steven Butala:

But I'm not going to talk about it.



Jill DeWit:

It's a girl thing. Come on. Guys have a thing.



Steven Butala:

What's a guys thing?



Jill DeWit:

Probably bank balance.



Steven Butala:

That's for sure.



Jill DeWit:

Okay, there we go. We can put that to bed now. Herbert wrote, I would like to join or create an accountability... Gee funny, you found this in our thing... slash, mastermind group to grow and learn faster with some individuals.



Steven Butala:

To grow and learn faster. I'm going to pick that apart in a minute.



Jill DeWit:

If you're part of one now and are looking for another member to bounce ideas off of, let me know. Also, if you're interested in creating one, let me know. Thanks.



Steven Butala:

So like a lot of things with social media that I am completely unaware of-



Jill DeWit:

Social media in general?



Steven Butala:

... this thing trickles up to me. I know all about [crosstalk 00:00:02:03].



Jill DeWit:

I'm just kidding. I'm joking.



Steven Butala:

It's not that bad.



Jill DeWit:

I know. I'm teasing you.



Steven Butala:

It trickles up to me. I'm sure that the prevalence on this topic is probably... Maybe even in regular school, they're having accountability groups. I don't know. It's just it's a new name for something that's been going on with successful people forever. So you know what? Let's just go right in.



Jill DeWit:

This is a study group.



Steven Butala:

Yeah. The answer to this, it isn't a topic, so I'm just going to do this here. Today's topic, how accountability groups work. This is why you're listening.

So let's take a look at some of the oldest most successful, been around forever, accountability groups. There's three of them. Jill mentioned the first one. A study group. "Hey, I can't study on my own. I'm in school, high school, college," whatever. "There's three other people in my group that seemed to be interested in getti...
