Looking for an Accountability Group in Tomball/Magnolia Area

Looking for an Accountability Group in Tomball/Magnolia Area

Hello Houston-area investors. After several years of kicking the tires around here, reading books, walking properties, analyzing deals, and basically becoming the perfect walking example of "paralysis by analysis," I'm resolved to make 2019 the year I roll up my sleeves (or roll them up a little farther, I guess) and really get started in REI.

To ensure I keep positive momentum toward my goals, I'm looking to hook up with a local accountability group - or start one, if necessary. I'm not really sure what the mechanics of an AG are, but what I'd like is a small group, say 5-6 like-minded individuals, that are available to meet weekly in the Tomball/Magnolia area to talk shop, review goals and progress, provide encouragement, and, of course, accountability. I'm not really thinking of a forum to pitch deals or have guest speakers or whatever, although some of that may sort of evolve naturally.

There's a quote out there that has something to do with you being like the five people you spend the most time with. On my current trajectory, I will be the beer-drinking-est, TV-watching-est, credit card debt-ridden-est dude in this hemisphere, and that's not where I'd like to be, thank you very much.

Reply here or DM me if you're interested in having a conversation about this.

    One option is to start a meetup (meetup.com) and get together at a local coffee shop. The group might start small but will expand if you meet regularly with like minded people set towards similar goals.

    Hey Andrew - Thanks for posting. I would be interested in joining the accountability group.

    Getting over the analysis paralysis has been a huge struggle of mine as well. Over analyzing, combined with not having a focused plan has stunted my growth significantly. I would enjoy a group to meet with to help each other over the hurdles and achieve our goals.

    I am closer to Houston (off 290 and Bingle) but would not mind making the drive to Magnolia/Tomball. Please let me know if this group comes together.

    Hey Andrew

    I would be interested in an AG as well. I am in 249/Louetta (Vintage Park) area. I think this is a good idea. In my head (which I warn goes astray at times...lol) I see something like perhaps meeting on Monday mornings and everyone sets or shares a goal or their milestones for the upcoming week. Maybe also there we can help one another with analysis on deals, troubleshooting if anyone has a hard deal, just simply working together, sharing knowledge and encouraging and motivating each other. Then Friday for those who desire to, perhaps have a Happy Hour AG review where we discuss what went right or wrong during the week, share successes, etc. Just my thoughts. Keep me updated so I know where to go to attend. GREAT idea!!

    @Nick Logan @Sarah S. Thanks for reaching out! I'm in Magnolia; Nick is at 290/Bingle; sounds like Sarah is kinda in the middle. I'm familiar with Vintage Park area - my first house was in Colony Creek, and my parents live in the area now - so that might be a good starting point. I don't think we can squeeze anything in before Christmas, so let's give it another week or two to percolate, and then we'll pull the trigger on a time and place.

    @Nick Logan

    @Sarah S.

    @Ricky Bass

    Would you guys mind sending me a PM with your contact info? I'd like to start trying to get something on our collective schedule, but need a more efficient way to do it than '@' mentions. Thanks!

    (Sammy, wasn't sure from your post if you were interested in participating in the group, or just making the Meetup suggestion. If the latter, please disregard.)
