How To Declare Your Commitment To
Your 8 Week Goal
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.

The key to success is taking action and staying accountable. Whether you want to launch a business, write a book, or improve your relationships, the process remains the same. If you don’t commit, you risk staying stuck in the cycle of "what ifs." Over the next eight weeks, I’ll be sharing success stories from my clients to show what’s possible when you follow through. So, set your commitment declaration, stay consistent, and watch how much progress you can make!

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 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.
