An Accountability Secret Proven to Produce RESULTS
Today, I have a terrific accountability practice to share: The Daily Huddle.
The Daily Huddle is a 20-minute call first thing in the a.m., during which each team member or participant has two minutes to list their biggest accomplishment from the previous day, what they wanted to accomplish that day, and what they needed from the team leader or someone else on the call. There are other versions of the Daily Huddle out there, of course, with different names, but this particular coinage was developed by RMA Participant Peter Osborne, founder of the Consultant Launch Pad, to help manage a team of account executives earlier on in his career.
The secret to making it effective: “Keep it short. Keep it focused. And try to have it at the same time every day – first thing in the AM,” says Peter.
Why it worked so well:
• Peter could easily track and follow up on his team’s goals
• Other people on the call often had advice, having dealt with similar problems
• Having to outline goals in front of others led to more tangible plans that had a real impact on the team's results
You don’t need to be a manager to institute a Daily Huddle – you can start one today with colleagues or Lifelines. If you’re not harnessing the power of group accountability, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. Sharing your goals with others has been proven to dramatically increase the likelihood you’ll achieve them.
Peter’s results probably tell the best story: Among other big wins, he told us, "We surpassed our goals for launching our Affinity Checking product by 200% (endorsements and accounts). All because we spent a little bit of time every day focusing on initiatives that would move the needle.”
For his submission in the RMA contest, Peter won a $100 gift card to one of my favorite organizations, Donorschoose.org, where you can choose a specific school project to support with a donation small or large.

Victoria's Secret - Too Sexy?
- This will be upsetting for some men. I just heard a report about Victoria's Secret and it was interesting. Their sales were down drastically in the 4th quarter of 2007 and the report was about how they are thinking the company has gotten too far away from the heritage that made it the blockbuster company it is. They are thinking the ads etc have become too sexy and the plan (at the moment) is to make the ads more sophisticated. That would be like the Super Bowl commercial which was very tasteful, but very different from any Victoria's Secret I've seen lately.
Who do you all think the current sexy ads are targeting? I think its the men that they hope will buy these items for their female significant others. I hate to give Omarosa any kudos - but most women aren't "sold" on an item by an ad of a near naked sexy woman.

Re: Success
- I study success intently, and would like to share:
Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters.
FIRST FORMULA:
1. Passionate Desire
2. Clear, Definite Purpose
3. Committed Decision
4. Take Action In Faith
(Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently)
I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it.
Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula.
SECOND FORMULA:
1. Passionate Desire
2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith)
3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly)
This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret).
Hope that helps!
