Planning Can Happen On Your Own Timeline
In this episode, I talked about planning as the third step in the Accountability Code, right after reflection and humility. Planning isn’t just writing stuff down, it’s about creating a meaningful roadmap that actually helps you succeed. I shared how putting “tennis friends” on my vision board led to real friendships just by showing up and being open.

I also broke down different types of planning, yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily, and how each one helps in life and business. I use Trello to keep my 90-day goals organized and plan out content. For daily planning, I use my own method based on the Accountability Code, and I’m turning it into a book soon! Overall, planning gives you the clarity and confidence to follow through on what matters most.
