Prepare, Prepare, Prepare, and then Trust
In this episode, I discussed my pride in attending a client’s ribbon-cutting event for her new boutique. I also reflected on recent challenges, including a virus, a friend's funeral in Utah, and the devastation from Hurricane Helene. Despite these hardships, I’m grateful that my family and home were safe, and I contemplated survivor's guilt and the lack of control we have over life’s events.
I emphasized the importance of helping others when we’re in a better position to do so. Observing the contrast between people seeking assistance and my client’s celebration reminded me that while hard work is vital, it’s not always enough in the face of uncontrollable circumstances. It's essential to appreciate our blessings and be ready to support those in need.

In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, helping you grow and build confidence. This process helps you become more accountable and stay focused on your goals.

In this episode, I share how to set a clear eight-week goal using the Accountability Code, a framework designed to help you take action. Many people struggle with defining their focus, so I walk through six key steps: reflection (identifying your goal), humility (recognizing what’s holding you back), planning (creating a roadmap), implementing (taking action), commitment (declaring your goal), and feedback (evaluating progress). The Accountability Accelerator provides structure and support to help participants stay on track, but even if you're not in the program, you can still apply these steps to make real progress.

I also highlighted stories from my clients, like Kim, who successfully hosted events by adapting the accountability code, and Susan, who realized she needed to trust herself more to improve her business. The key takeaway is that being accountable isn’t about following a rigid plan, it’s about adjusting and taking action in a way that works for you.
