Accountability Partner Wanted

Accountability Partner Wanted

I am looking for an strong accountability partner to help me achieve my goals.

I will be placing my goals on stickk.com so my accountability partner will be able to check my reports online.

My four goals per week are:

1. Complete 150+ Sports Trades per week
2. Complete Exercise - Couch to 5km iphone app 3 times per week and complete 45mins walking on two other days on another app.
3. Cook 5 meals per week and take a photo of me cooking it.
4. Complete my daily essentials for 5 days

Proof these have been achieved will be found on the reporting section of stickk.com so you will need to sign up to access these.

Proof of the 150+ trades will be via completed trade report screenshot for each trade.
Proof of the Exercise will be via photos of two apps showing I have completed the 3 days of couch to 5km exercise plan and the other two days will be on another app to show the time and distance walked.
Proof of the meals will be via 5 photos that will be date and time stamped so I cannot use old photos. These photos must be of me cooking the meal not a completed one to stop me buying a meal and taking a photo.
Proof of the daily essentials can only be by a honesty basis as they are things that cannot be proved. They are:

Take Vitamins
Devotion 30+ mins
Positive Mental Attitude Book 15+ mins
Prayer 10+ mins
Affirmations 10+ mins
Thankfulness 10+ mins
Stretch 15+ mins
Make Bed and keep room clean
Shower and Iron clothes
Cook
Exercise

These reports will need to be checked once per week generally on a Monday Australian time. There will be a lot of reports so it may take a little time on that day.

Also If i do not complete my goals for that week a financial reward of $100 will be given to the accountability partner that will be transfer to your pay pal account. My aim is not to have to pay you but if I fail for any reason you will be rewarded.

I have tried and failed to discipline myself for many years. I have tried many things to beat this problem in my life but failed. I need the person to be strong and hold me account. I have had two other accountability partners but neither really held me to account. So this is super important to me and I take this very serious.

Please message me if you can help. I am also open to any advice or daily Skype contact or email support whatever else that you feel would help. I will be doing my trading from 10pm (GMT+10) at night until between 4 - 7am so a wake up call before I start may help. I am open to any suggestions.

If you do not think you can commit to this or you will be slack yourself then your not the person for me.

I need this to be taken serious, in fact I am desperate to beat this.

I have been very successful in my life previously being a Pastor, Principle of Bible College and managing many businesses but that was working for others not for myself. This is a struggle and it is affecting every area of my life. This gives you a chance to make a difference and to leave a legacy on the world.

I am very goal oriented and have a possibility of achieving a lot and making a big difference in the world I just need some help.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards


Paul

Hi psmitty,
this is just a quick note as I just received my Christian Forum log in just now and I have an appointment this morning that I need to get to. But I wanted to reply to your request. - please excuse any typos and choppy writing

I would be happy to assist. I guess I would be surprised if you still needed somebody, but in other ways I wouldn't.
I have tried to get accountability partners on my own in the past and I find it very difficult. I even posted in a few craigslist for a "boss" someone to hold me accountable to getting things done..everyone thought I was weird and didn't understand it. Two tried but it never worked out.
I am self-employed in the US (in California which is pacific time), so I understand the struggles of trying to make yourself get things done. I found you by googling "accountability partner" for myself.
I need to go, but lets connect later.
quick bio:
I flip houses, trade futures (oil, S&P500, etc), have two kids, and have been a Christian for most of my life and been part of a few ministries (God is all important), but struggle with getting myself to do the right things rather than do the wrong things in life (Proverbs: living wisely rather than as the fool does)
I will be as gracious as God and as strong as you want.

In college when I couldn't get myself to get all my studies done, I stopped letting myself have my money from my job until I put in hours of homework... ie I took that money and then paid myself for the difficult behavior (studying). That gently forced me to do the difficult behavior to get what I wanted. I also changed things so that the important behavior (studying) wasn't rewarded months away at the end of the semester, but immediately. Culture is backwards sometimes...we reward important-in-the-long-run-behavior far in the future and unimportant (though maybe more urgent and more accountable to other people) behavior (working at the library) more immediately (weekly).

psmitty,
Are you there? I do not know how the Christian Forum works, but I assume it send you and email when somebody makes a post reply, so I am doing another one since I do not have your email.
I hope it is going well. If you have gotten behind, remember it is not the loftiness or the perfection of the goal that brings about rewards, it is the achievement (no matter how imperfect). So it is better to be focus on what right, than what is wrong.. It is never too late to do the right thing today, no matter how imperfect yesterday was.

Hi duolous777. Thankyou for the reply. I have sent you a personal message. If for any reason you do not get it please let me know.

 

[psmitty]

Sorry mate but I cannot send a personal message until i reach 15 posts. This is the message i sent you.

Thanks

Hi duolos777,

Thank you so much for your reply. I am sorry for the late reply but I had not checked my account or the email that I setup for christian forums. I normally do not use my personal email when I am signing up to things to avoid spam. As I hadn't heard anything I did not expect a response and had given up hope.

I am not sure if you are still available but if you are I would love to chat. My email address is paulsmithaus at gmail dot com and my skype is askpaulsmith. Let me know what time suits you and we can work out a time to chat. I am at GMT +10 so it may be a challenge but nothing we cannot sort out.

I also noticed on your message that you were looking for someone yourself. I am happy to help you also if you need some motivation. To be honest I am better at keeping someone else in line then myself. Plus i know what challenges there are and I know I would be like a dog at a bone to help you. Anyway if you need that also let me know.

Once again thank you for the effort you made and your time. I do appreciate it and i will do my best to respect your time. To be honest as I had not heard anything I had given up..... I am really desperate. I need to beat this. I know my potential is unlimited but unless i beat this it will be wasted potential and I do not want that.

Anyway once again thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards


Paul Smith
