I'm self motivated and have never needed to be driven by others to perform my best. Motivations Speakers, fellow Realtors and other real estate groups have always been a part of my career and feed the Psyche. I strongly encourage others to get an accountability partner as self motivation works for a very small percentage of people.

For several years I belonged to a TIPS groups which was a generic version of BNI. I also started a small Mastermind group with non-real estate industries. Both were very effective in generating business.

I am broker/owner of my brokerage. I'm a big girl. I hold myself accountable. But I understand others have other needs, and for them it works.

Professionally, no. I am where the buck stops and starts!
Personally, yes. I have a tribe and they kick my ass and make me like it. I may get a swipe in on them on occasion as well. I'm nicer than they are though! (ducking, running)

Yes! I love Active Rain, Relylocal and I meet with other agents in my area that are like me (independent) and we encourage one another.
Having said that ... I have always been self-motivated and a go-getter without anyone prodding me on.

The only person that can hold me accountable is me. The same applies to motivation. It comes from within.

It's great to have methods in place that fulfill and encourage oneself. However, who doesn't need uplifting and encouragement bestowed upon them by others, from time to time? - Tim

The most motivational, encouraging, and fulfilling group I belong to is the group of me, myself and I.

I've tried several groups BUT many are filled with members who are semiretired which is not a productive use of time. Most accountable to myself and son in college who needs the dough

Yes, both locally and private Facebook groups as well as here, Gary.
I don't know if anyone holds me as accountable as I do though!

No, I call this coaching. Others call it mentoring.
I'm going to be honest & say that I really could use those CPR paddles they use in the ER pretty regularly. Taser might work too .....
You guys are blowing smoke ....

No... it's not my style. I can hold myself accountable and can encourage myself. I think it's dangerous to wait on someone else to fullfill oneself.

I am self motivated and keep myself on track most of the time. Also, I am part of an online "tribe" of like minded bloggers/social media users so it is fairly easy to keep the momentum going without the need for accountability.

That sounds like a support group LOL ... do they also provide you with a blanky and milky when you get stressed out?
But to answer your question, I was coached by Floyd Wickman about 17 years ago and listen to Tom Ferry almost daily but am not coached by them.

Thank you all for the feedback and great comments. It seems there are 2 very different sides on this topic, Yes and No, nothing really in between. I run an accountability group for my office and have another accountability partner when it comes to work. And my children hold me accountable at home daily.
