Setting Up an Accountability Group in a Mighty Network

As a coach or consultant, you might be looking for more ways to diversify your income but you aren’t sure of the direction. 

Leading an accountability group can be a great way to help your audience members, customers, students, or clients accomplish their goals while also providing additional revenue to your business. 

In this episode, Mary Elizabeth Murphy, Host of S.T.A.R.Resources shares her community strategy using accountability groups, which she calls “Sprints” to “tackle” to-dos,  during an interview with Deb Schell, for an episode of The Community Strategy Podcast

Show Notes

During this interview, Deb Schell, a Community Strategist, asks Mary to break down her Mighty Networks Community Strategy to offer her structure for community builders to encourage participation with accountability. 

Mary shares how she guides her members through the custom-designed method outlined in the RESET Your Buttons ™ book. The proven method is simple to follow and ensures you stay on track with what you want to achieve by the end of your 90 days.  Mary created the methodology to teach you how to respond instead of react, allowing relationships in your life to flourish and grow.  

It’s time to get those nagging things off the someday-I’ll-do-this-list and onto the DONE list.   How? With our 90-Day RESET Sprint. This program is specially crafted to tackle those tasks that you keep pushing back. 

Fight your procrastination with focus and intention instead of getting overwhelmed with all the little things that fall into that one task you continually skip past.

Why 90 days? 

Because it’s doable, digestible, and effective. You can do anything if you break it up into smaller pieces. Even that thing. 

Some sample focuses that we can tackle in our sprint:  

  • Creating a better work-life balance & boundaries with work

  • Clearing clutter from your home  

  • Scaling your business and re-positioning your sales pitches   

  • Making a morning routine… and sticking to it  

  • Become a better manager or leader

  • Create, work on, or explore your career path

  • Building your business an actionable marketing plan  

  • Determine what’s next for this season of your life

  • Finally, get done that thing you have been longing to do

From professional to personal to everything in between, you choose one focus for 90 days, we’ll mold it into your SMART goal, and this sprint course will help you crush it.   

Her community on Mighty Networks also creates additional business revenue streams and gives her recurring income to stabilize the ups and downs of consulting and project-based work. 

3:25: Starting with her background, Mary started S.T.A.R.Resources 30 years ago, helping people build cohesive teams and foster culture change in businesses of all backgrounds. She progressed from single-day to 90-day to year-long programs. 

6:20: I believe in community, I believe that we are always better together. But to be better together, we really do have to learn how to communicate with each other.

8:57: Mary and Deb discuss the purpose of S.T.A.R. and why she chose Mighty Networks, thanks to combining a community platform with the ability to also provide a learning course.  

13:06: Mary explains her community structure, the process of deciding what to name her community, and what features to include, eventually creating the 90-day Reset Sprint for accountability and support for each other. 

18:58: Going in-depth on the 90-day Sprint structure, Mary’s community aims to attract life-long learners through word of mouth. The doors only open every quarter and there have been a number of pivots as Mary gained feedback from her community.

32:33: Mary explains the choice to use the term accountability advocate, to advocate bringing each others’ dreams to life. She also offers pop-up productivity events using the Pomodoro method. 

36:46: Community member Missy asks Mary to elaborate on self-judgment when it comes to productivity. Mary responds with the incorporation of lessons taught in the community, including working through life happening and the opportunity cost of saying yes to things.
