Do you ever find yourself falling short when it comes to getting the results you desire?  Today’s episode is all about being accountable for oneself, and I’ll be dipping into my five building blocks to build accountability. This episode may be a reality check for a lot of you, but I think it’s going to help out a great deal.

 

Key Highlights of the Episode

 This episode was extremely actionable and insightful. Here are a few key highlights:

  • Why are you starting your own business? - Why do you want to start your own business vs being an employee? If you want to be in charge of your destiny and build something for yourself, great! If, on the other hand, you simply don’t want to have a boss who’s holding you accountable, then you could be in for a shock when you become your own boss.

  • Your fear of asking for help can lead to failure - I get it!

If you’re used to going it alone and refusing to ask for help then you need a shift in mindset. 
  • The importance of feedback - Feedback is essential and you have to get it regularly. Without honest feedback, how do you know whether you’re on track to achieving your goals?
