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!

I shared a personal story from my upcoming book Becoming Boss Minded called The Art of Saying No, where I learned the hard way that helping too much can lead to burnout. I explained how saying yes too often, even with good intentions, can hurt your mental health and relationships.

In this episode, I talked about the fifth step of the accountability code, commitment—and how it’s different from just taking action or implementing ideas. Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we realized that making a plan isn’t enough, you have to commit to following through.
