Implementing Means Progress
Over Perfection!
In this episode, I talked about implementing, the fourth step of the Accountability Code. It comes after reflection, humility, and planning. Implementing means taking action on what matters to you, even if it's not perfect. Many people make plans but never follow through, so I reminded everyone to just start, even if it’s messy.

I also shared a personal story about learning to share responsibilities at home. I couldn’t do it all myself, so my family and I divided up the tasks. It wasn’t easy, but it made a big difference. The real takeaway? Just try. Progress matters more than perfection.
