Bigger Pockets Coaching for Accountability Idea...

[Nick Patterson]

I recently read a book by austin kleon "Steal like an Artist"   Basically nothing is original. Copy what other people have done and make it your own. 

There is an app I started using Coach.me - Which I downloaded and hired a coach (with no RE experience) to help keep me accountable to my goals.  In fact I don't think she knows I am a real estate investor.  Nonetheless, I inputted my goal to time block 5 days a week from 10am-1115am to prospect and follow up to acquire new buildings.

In 13,14 and 15 we where on a buying spree.  In 2016 we only purchased 1 property.  The market being crazy was a factor but also I feel that I got "comfortable" and stopped the prospecting train.

Coach.me charges me around $60 a month and she checks in with me everyday to make sure I did my time block.  Its wonderful.

Now the idea:

BiggerPockets has such a huge database of people who need accountability and people who are here to help.  In fact a google search with "BiggerPockets Accountability" has 30,000 returns.

There should be a program that can connect people to hold each other accountable and charge them for the service.  Its great because its not a "guru" telling the users what to do. I'd suspect most investors on here know what to do (If they don't the answer is on the site) but its a matter of actually "doing it"  Similar to the fact that I know how to get in shape, but do I do those actives?

There could be plenty of pricing models

1) Like Diet.com people would put money in a pot and the one that doesn't prospect loosing out

2) Charge like Coach.me, $15 a week

3) stickk.com is another similar site with models where people donate money to charity or loose money to an anti-charity if the tasks are not done.

Thoughts?
