Show Notes for The Accountability Manifesto

Thanks for purchasing the audio version of The Accountability Manifesto: Achieve Your Goals with Mastermind Groups and Accountability Partners.

I know what it’s like to listen to audio content. You hear an important link, but can’t immediately write it down. So I’ve put together these show notes of every link that’s mentioned in The Accountability Manifesto.

IMPORTANT: As another way of saying “thanks,” I’m offering a free PDF version of this book. Just forward your Audible receipt to [email protected] and I'll hook you up with a copy.
