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, solopreneurs and even 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 brings together 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 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 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.  In doing so and getting ongoing feedback, you will course correct your way to your goals and dreams.

This ongoing feedback is provided both during the call process as well as on surveys given at the end of each two week cycle.

Success is never ever a straight linear line. Just as captain course corrects his ship onwards to his/her destination, so will you through our unique question and answer process all while receiving ongoing feedback.  Getting another perspective on a problem will likely provide you paradigm shifts in your own growth and advancement toward your goals.

You’ll find yourself breaking away from old dis-empowering patterns and anchoring in wins through the power of acknowledgment and celebration.  With proper planning, focus and taking consistent massive action, you’ll reach your goals faster and build better habits.

 

Q: What’s an empowerment buddy?

A: This is your accountability partner aka “buddy” who will be assigned to you based on your goals and drive for growth. Your buddy 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: 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 in a safe atmosphere 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 cutting edge concepts from David Allen, Steven Covey, Mission Control, Tony Robbins, Julie Morgenstern, Tony Schwartz 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.

You will create new reference points of Success and Completion. With the current economic landscape, many of our members have gained the clarity to start a new business. They’ve been able to reinvent themselves  and make major career transitions more easily.

Overall, our members experience higher levels of balance and self-expression in multiple areas of their lives: health, spiritual, emotional, financial, career and leisure. They are able to continually rate your progress and track their growth with our unique system. This is all done in a very supportive and safe atmosphere. Nothing is ever forced.

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

A: Buddies 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 (or “feed-forward” as some of our members call it), you’ll get to see for yourself where you get too comfortable and stuck.  You have an option to have either daily calls each weekday morning with your partner or have calls three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Your empowerment assignment is based your level of accountability, drive for growth and of course time schedule to synchronize a 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 buddies. Regular surveys are taken to rate the experience with the opportunity to request a particular partner within the network.

Q: How will I know if my buddy has the right stuff to support me and hold me accountable?  

A: We use a very unique and lengthy process in connecting our members together as accountability buddies.  For example, if another member has a strength in an area that you are looking to grow or expand in, we’ll do our best to connect you together.  In addition, there will be opportunities to connect virtually with members from around the world and choose your own buddy.

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 Success 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 two primary Circles: Peer-Momentum and Peer-Quantum Growth.

  • Peer-Quantum Growth Circle – High Level Accountability Circle with check-ins
  • Peer-Momentum Circle – Medium Accountability 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 buddy succeed. We’ve been doing this for over six years with hundreds of success stories and very happy and fulfilled members.
