F.A.Q.

Peer Success Circles is both a program and a community of empowered individuals who are playing a big game in life, willing to hold another accountable to his or her success and dreams. It is a uniquely designed knowing the challenges most entrepreneurs and job seekers are facing; staying engaged toward their goals, avoiding distractions, while not having the structures that a corporate environment might have provided.  We’ve designed a process that is supportive, fun, and sustainable.

The process is also called “Essential” accountability. It’s essential because our members consistently tell us that it makes the biggest difference in their day, empowering them to stay clear-minded, focused, action oriented and extremely intentional. They wonder how you ever lived without it.

Q: What are the benefits?

A: Our members experience:

  • Higher accountability
  • Access to strong value-based support peer network
  • Access to entrepreneurs and other business owners with complimentary strengths
  • Improved overall productivity, effectiveness and delegation skills. Consistent growth and accelerated progress toward personal and professional goals in multiple areas of life.
  • Deeper levels of fulfillment in life and a higher quality of living
  • Increased profitability in business and new ventures

Q: How is this done?

A: Peer Success Circles integrates the power of relationships with top peak performance and productivity strategies. Our winning process borrows from different modalities including active listening, empathic communication, NLP, and co-counseling.

Through 1-on-1 daily accountability calls and available weekly community support calls our members have consistent clarity in their day and find themselves reaching their goals and outcomes at an accelerated rate. These 30 to 40 minute calls set the context of focus and intention to create an inspired day.

We believe that the questions you ask yourself daily will change your life. By focusing on the right answers especially the Wins and the Whys and sharing them with a peer partner while tracking your results, you will notice dramatic results.

We’ve found that it makes a huge difference in clarity by sharing and being heard and celebrating the bigger victories. Each member is not only an empowerment partner, he or she will be your cheerleader inspiring you to shine.

You’ll find yourself breaking away from old dis-empowering patterns and anchoring in wins through the power of acknowledgment and celebration. Through proper planning, focus and taking consistent massive action, you’ll reach your goals faster. We bet that you’ll be a lot happier too.

We use direct power questions as a guide to fulfill our intentions, so we choose and create the life of our dreams.

We live our lives powerfully, by creating a plan and working our plan in our daily life choices.

Q: What’s an empowerment partner?

A: An empowerment partner is a daily accountability partner or “buddy” who will be assigned to you based on your goals and drive for growth. Empowerment partners will provide advice, guidance, resources and resolutions to issues and challenges that arise whether these are self-created (limiting beliefs, dis-empowering patterns… etc.) or external.

Foremost it is accepted that true accountability comes from oneself first.

Q: How often will I get a new accountability partner?

A: Empowerment partners are assigned bi-monthly with the maximum time of 2 cycles or 4 weeks with the same partner. We’ve found that by partnering with different members and getting regular feedback, you’ll get to see for yourself where you get too comfortable and stuck.

Q: What makes the Peer Success Circles “sustainable”?

A: The foundation to the call structure uses our unique proprietary Question and Answer system.  These questions tap into what Peak Performance Coach and thought leader Anthony Robbins calls the 6 Human Needs.
Robbins Research has identified these needs and believes everyone is—or can be—motivated by their desire to fulfill these needs. They are Certainty/Comfort, Variety, Significance, Connection/Love, Growth, and Contribution. This is all done with a very supportive context that promotes active listening and where valuable feedback is provided back.

Q: How about time management and productivity?

A: You will be exposed to the most cutting-edge time management and productivity strategies, integrating the top concepts from David Allen, Steven Covey, Mission Control, Tony Robbins, and Brian Tracy. You’ll learn how to be proactive, use effective leveraging and that the key to success and happiness is not about being a “human doing” machine. We want you to have a balanced life, working with your personal energy cycles, and have more fun time in both your weekdays and on the weekend.

Your fundamental quality and experience of time will shift. The Webster’s dictionary may define time as a measurable period. You’ll personally begin to recognize that time is more of an emotion or feeling. By bringing your focus on what counts, most especially your victories, joy, and gratitude, you’ll find yourself having more time to do what you love.

You’ll get to the important 20 % that will get you closer to the results that you want, instead of the 80% busy work that occupies too much time and energy for most people.

The results are just amazing and you’re building new reference points of Success and Completion. With the current economic landscape, many of our members have gotten the clarity in the business they wanted to start, but were afraid for years. They’ve been able to reinvent themselves and and make major career transitions more easily.

Overall, our members are experiencing higher levels of balance in their lives in terms of health, spiritual, emotional, financial and more. They are able to continually rate your progress and track their growth with our unique system.  This is all done in a very supportive atmosphere.  Nothing is ever forced.

Q: How often will I get a new accountability partner?

A: Empowerment partners are assigned bi-monthly with the maximum time of 2 cycles or 4 weeks with the same partner. We’ve found that by partnering with different members and getting regular feedback, you’ll get to see for yourself where you get too comfortable and stuck.

Your empowerment assignment is based your level of accountability, drive for growth and of course time schedule to synchronize a daily call. You can also make a request for a faith based partner and we’ll do our best to match you. If there is a challenge in a certain area of life, we will do our best to partner you with a member who is strong in that area. You’ll find yourself growing at an accelerated pace from getting regular feedback and modeling the winning strategies from each of your partners. Regular surveys are taken to rate the experience with the opportunity to request a particular partner within the network.

Q: I’m not an entrepreneur. Can I still join?  What if I’m in a career transition and searching for a job?

A: The majority of our members are entrepreneurs. We have several members who are in between jobs or transitioning to a new career. These members who have been in Peer Success Circles during this transition have been significantly more engaged on the job search. They often acknowledge Peer Succes Circles as having been that accelerated factor that got them on track with their career.

Q: What types of Peer Circles are there?

A: We currently have three primary Circles: Peer-Embrace. Peer-Momentum and Peer-Quantum Growth.

  • Peer-Quantum Growth Circle – High Level Accountability Circle
  • Peer-Momentum Circle – Medium Accountability Circle
  • Peer-Embrace Circle – Support based Circle

As you move through different empowerment partners within Success Circles, you’ll have the opportunity to select the partners who have impacted and inspired you the most. If they have selected you as well, we’ll create a quarterly team or Dream Team for you. This team will support and empower you to reach your top five outcomes each the month.

Q: Does this really work?

A: Yes, and only if you are willing to grow and you are also committed to having your accountability partner succeed. We’ve been doing this for five years with dozens of success stories with very happy and fulfilled members.

7 out of our original 8 members are still involved, even after reaching most of their goals and intended outcomes. Watch some of the testimonials to hear for yourself.

Q: OK, I’m interested. How do I sign up?

A: If you are interested in being considered to this powerful network, sign up by following this link. If you are unhappy with your results after 30 days, which is essentially two cycles and two partnerships, we will gladly refund your investment. It hasn’t happened yet. :)
