In this episode, Sean Osborn, the host of the Thinking Big Podcast, dives into the power of accountability systems and how they can significantly enhance our success rate in achieving our goals. Sean discusses the neuroscience behind accountability systems, explaining how our brains are wired for social interaction and how involving others in our goals can make the process more engaging and motivating. He also highlights the importance of having an accountability partner or system, explaining how it can leverage our brain's natural tendencies towards social interaction, rewards, and fear of social disapproval to keep us motivated and on track. Key Takeaways: Accountability systems can dramatically increase your chances of success and speed up your journey toward your goals. Our brains are inherently social, and involving others in our goals taps into this aspect, making the process more engaging and motivating. Having an accountability partner can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. The fear of letting others down can be a powerful motivator. When we commit to someone else that we're going to do something, we are more likely to follow through because we don't want to disappoint them. Accountability partners can help reduce stress and anxiety. Having someone else who's invested in our success can provide emotional support and help us manage those feelings. Accountability partners can help you track your goals, call out your BS, uncover your blind spots, act as a red light, serve as a sounding board, ease the pain, and be your partner in crime. There are three distinctive styles of accountability systems: individual accountability, team accountability, and reciprocal accountability. Each has its own benefits and can be used for different types of goals. Quotes: "One is too small of a number to achieve greatness." - John Maxwell "Accountability breeds responsibility." - Stephen Covey "On good teams, coaches hold players accountable. On great teams, players hold players accountable." - Joe Dumars Resources Mentioned: Sponsor: The Neuro Encoding Institute, for neuroscience-based coaching certification that empowers you with cutting-edge strategies. Episode 103 on mirror neurons Episode 125 on the secret strategy of successful entrepreneurs. In my experience, accountability is critical for success. Whether it's writing a book or training for an Ironman, having an accountability partner has kept me on track and motivated. It's not always easy, and there will be highs and lows, but having someone who understands and supports your goals can make all the difference. Remember, you don't travel alone. Surround yourself with the right company because proximity matters. There is power in proximity. FAQ: What is an accountability system?

Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Thinking Big Podcast. Today, we're debunking myths and challenging beliefs about motivation. The conventional wisdom tells us that motivation leads to action, and action yields results. But what if we've got it all wrong? What if it's action that fuels motivation, not the other way around? In this episode, we dive deep into this concept, backed by neuroscience and the wisdom of Emerson. We explore how taking even the smallest step can shatter inertia and set you on the path to success. Key Takeaways: Motivation is not the magic key to success; action is. Action fuels and builds motivation. The action doesn't have to be colossal; even a tiny step can shatter inertia. Once you start witnessing the results of your actions, motivation makes its grand entrance. Progress is a powerful motivator that drives us.

They dive into the depths of self-discovery, the Enneagram, and how understanding oneself can lead to a more fulfilling and harmonious life. Key Takeaways: The Real Life Process: Teresa McCloy introduces her life management system, the Real Life Process. It is divided into three parts: knowing your real self, living it out in your real life, and doing your best real work. The process helps individuals discover their true selves and live a life that reflects their values and passions. The Enneagram: Teresa explains the Enneagram, a personality tool that has both a spiritual and psychological side. It is a drawing with nine different personalities, each representing a different core trait. The Enneagram helps individuals understand their thinking, emotional, and instinctual intelligence. The Nine Types: The nine types in the Enneagram are Peace (Type 9), Goodness (Type 1), Love (Type 2), Effectiveness (Type 3), Creativity (Type 4), Wisdom (Type 5), Loyalty (Type 6), Joy (Type 7), and Power (Type 8). Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. Energy Centers: Teresa talks about the three energy centers in the Enneagram – forward-moving, toward-moving, and away-moving. Understanding these energies helps in understanding how people interact and connect with others. Nature, Nurture, and Free Will: Our personalities are shaped by the combination of our genetic makeup (nature), our upbringing and environment (nurture), and the choices we make (free will). Living in Harmony: Teresa emphasizes the importance of living in harmony rather than balance. By understanding oneself through tools like the Enneagram, individuals can find internal peace and joy, regardless of external circumstances. Sean's Enneagram Results: Sean shares that he took the Enneagram test for the first time and discusses the insights he gained from it. Quotes: "If you live from an internal place of rest, knowing yourself, what matters to you, who are the people that matter to you, then your work is going to come out of that." - Teresa McCloy "There's more to it than just 'Oh, I can work from the pool or I can be in Hawaii or in the Bahamas'. It's really about the internal peace." - Teresa McCloy "I want to know as much about how I work, how I'm wired, how I think, how I act, how I react, so that the anxiety in me can be managed." - Teresa McCloy "It's the internal peace. So I want to know as much about how I work, how I'm wired, how I think, how I act, how I react, so that the anxiety in me can be managed." - Teresa McCloy Resources: FREE Download of the REALIFE Enneagram Typing Guide https://www.therealifeprocess.com/typing Your REALIFE Enneagram Personality Profile Package https://www.therealifeprocess.com/enneagrampersonalityprofilepackage Connect with Teresa McCloy: Website Twitter Facebook Connect with Sean Osborn: http://www.thinkingbigcoaching.com https://www.instagram.com/thinkingbigcoaching/ https://www.facebook.com/thinkingbigcoaching/ Closing Thoughts: This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand themselves better and live a more fulfilling life.

The 3 ingredients you need to be Persistent In this episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, we dive into what persistence is and the three key ingredients you need to create it. We explore why persistence is crucial in achieving success and reaching your goals, and how it makes us strong and resilient. From a neuroscience perspective, we learn about the brain's ability to regulate motivation and focus in the face of adversity, and how dopamine, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, reinforces our behavior and helps us persist in our efforts. We also discuss the different forms of persistence, including emotional, physical, and mental persistence, and how having a clear vision, belief in yourself, and a solid plan drives us forward in the face of adversity. We learn about the importance of staying the course, even when faced with obstacles and distractions, and how understanding that every obstacle brings with it an equivalent advantage builds even more persistence. Persistence is a crucial component in achieving success and reaching your goals, and by embracing its power, we can persevere in the pursuit of our dreams and opportunities, just like the stream that wins over the rock through its unwavering perseverance.   Connect with Sean Osborn at Thinking Big Coaching http://www.thinkingbigcoaching.com https://www.instagram.com/thinkingbigcoaching/ https://www.facebook.com/thinkingbigcoaching/   Be sure to check out your free 6 Human Needs Assessment https://www.thinkingbigcoaching.com/6needsassessment   Why is understanding your DRIVING FORCE so important to understand?

Life can be overwhelming and chaotic without a clear plan. People often find themselves struggling to keep up with the demands of daily life, feeling like they're always running on a treadmill without any direction. They waste time and energy on things that don't matter and never seem to get closer to their goals. The lack of organization can lead to stress, burnout, and frustration. People can feel like they're constantly falling behind and never able to catch up. They may struggle with decision-making and find themselves constantly second-guessing themselves, which can lead to anxiety and low self-esteem. An organized plan can bring clarity and direction to your life. When you have a plan in place, you know exactly what you need to do and when to do it. You can prioritize your goals, manage your time more effectively, and stay focused on what's most important. By having an organized plan, you'll be able to achieve more, feel more in control, and experience greater peace of mind. Good organized planning starts with a question: What is it that you want this year? What are you really after and why? Do you have a clear picture of what of what it is you want this year — in your relationships, your health, your finances? How can we possibly blueprint and plan for our year, if we don't even know what we want?   Win Your Year Before Your Year Begins This week we will discuss the concept and framework I use and teach for organized planning, and that is: winning your year before your year begins winning your quarter before your quarter begins winning your month before your month begins winning your week before your week begins And finally, winning your day before your day begins Resources for the episode Here is my full 31 day planner (monthly sheet, 4 weekly sheets, and 31 daily sheets) that I created, it's yours for free, print one out every month.
