Hi there,
I believe that a lot of you noticed, as well as I did, that entrepreneurship may be kind of a lonely path.
Since I work from home as a freelancer, working on my own business (building something like a digital agency in a specific field), I spend most of my days at the home, having contact with almost no one except my good friend who is also my roommate, and my girlfriend. The problem isn't that I wouldn't have any friends, but almost all of them started a different path of life - having regular jobs, etc. I realized that it is really tough to sustain my focus and "motivation" when I don't people with similar interests around me (+ my parents are constantly trying to push me to follow the script).
I didn't think about the exact concept yet but I would like to establish an accountability relationship(s) through this forum. Whether it would mean a call once a week or some daily updates via chat, I would welcome it all.
If any of you would have similar problems and/or intentions, let me know!

I can relate. I'm also a feelancer who's now planning the 'next move' (scaling to an agency). I live in a foreign country with my girlfriend and pretty much only go out to the store and back. Maybe once a week, we go out and do something exciting, but for the rest of the time, I'm in the same exact position. I have also thought of a similar support/accountability group, so I'm all up for the idea!

Hey Tomas, where are you based?
I have always been open to the idea of some sort of accountability group/partner but have never been serious enough about getting one. I think the time is right now as I am also using this forum as a way to keep on track and grow in 2021.

Sounds a lot like my story! :)

I've been saving the user names of people looking for Accountability partners over the last year or so. We might have enough for a Posse!

I’ll join in, maybe make a skype group or something?

Is anyone opposed to using Telegram or Discord? Skype is a battery hog.

I think a discord group would be great, just don’t use it to call meaninglessly as it is usually used for. Maybe we can use it for daily updates and asking questions. Wanna make one?

Is this primarily chat based? I already have a group that I meet with every week, would be good to have a more general accountability group to throw things out there more regularly

Yes it is! We also have a bunch of boards going on if you want to post something that won't get lost in chat.
