Commitment: Becoming Bossminded
(The book is coming!)
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.

I also gave some personal examples from my journey, like my commitment to finishing my book Becoming Boss Minded. I talked about setting solid goals, breaking them into smaller checkpoints, and using tools like Trello to track progress. One big tip I shared is to tell others about your commitments, it helps with accountability. In the end, commitment is what turns our dreams into real things we can see, share, and be proud of.
