The topic of this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast is creating your own “winner’s circle” of people who will encourage and motivate you in your personal and professional endeavors. It has been said that when you look at your friends, you see the future you are headed towards because so much of your potential abides in the company you keep. Some people are tempted to rely too heavily on one person to fulfill their accountability needs, but when you diversify the voices you’re listening to, you will see drastic improvements in your results. Kimi purports that your squad or tribe should have one of each of these types of people, recognizing that one person can fill one or two roles:
1.Mentor – Someone who is where you want to be. You can bounce things off of this person and learn from them.
2.Mentee – Having this person in your circle is an opportunity to teach what you are learning and continue your personal development.
3.Coach – Different than a mentor, a coach is meant to provide strategy and technique for a specific goal or endeavor.
4.Beam of positivity – Someone who can find the good in every situation.
5.Motivator – An amp man or woman who can specifically motivate you to pursue your goals.
6.Voice of reason – This person uses a higher order of thinking to ask specific questions about your plan and goals and helps you bring your ideas back to reality.
7.Accountability partner – Someone who is on the same level as you or walking the same journey. This person is a sounding board and you hold each other accountable through consistent check-ins.
This circle should be a give and take because we all need each other, and it is ok if people come and go from your circle. These people should provide balance for your life and propel you forward, motivating you to success.

•Building your tribe
