Say this with me! I AM NOT MEANT TO BE ALONE!! (lol)
Seriously though, too often, we try to lift the heaviest load all on our own. The truth is it is Biblical principal to not do it all by yourself. Even Jesus had Disciples, Apostles and Prophets to help spread the good word!
In the previous show we touched a bit on the subject of community in relation to accountability. Accountability inside of a community is a power move!
Think about it. When you are surrounded by the right people, each focusing on their goals (collective or individual) there is a shift in your posture, your mindset and your belief system!
Sis, you don't have to be an island!
Let me know your thoughts on this subject! I'm definitely interested in your point of view.
Okay, Okay, Okay! Part I ~ CLARITY!!!
If you haven't listened, please go check out that episode.
In this show, we continue the conversation connecting clarity to commitment.
Can we agree from this moment forward, we will not commit to anyone else until we first commit to ourselves!
Self-commitment looks like:
- self-love
- self-discipline
- creating routine
- forming new habits
My question is...what changes do you have to make to keep your commitments? What does that mean for you? Are you celebrating that fact that you stood on business for YOU! and also for others?
Here are some action steps:
-
Set Clear, Achievable Goals
-
Break down your big vision into smaller, actionable goals. Set specific deadlines and milestones. I believe clear goals provide focus and direction, making it easier to stay committed to both short-term and long-term objectives.
-
Create a Daily Routine
-
Develop a consistent daily schedule that includes time for business tasks, personal development, and self-care. Recently, I started working out AGAIN but this time I started different. I lay out my workout gear the night before, this helps reinforce commitment by creating structure, reducing decision fatigue, and establishing productive habits.
-
Track Progress and Celebrate Wins
-
Regularly measure your progress toward your goals and celebrate even small accomplishments. A Win Is A WIN! When you track your progress, it keeps you accountable, and celebrating wins boosts motivation, making it easier to stay committed.
-
Find Accountability Partners
-
Connect with a mentor, coach, or peer group to share your goals and get regular feedback and support. Commit to you but YOU have to stay near the fire! Remember, if we could have done this alone before, we wouldn't be trying to figure out why we keep breaking promises to ourselves. So, external accountability adds a layer of responsibility, helping you stay committed even when motivation wanes.
-
Reflect and Adjust Regularly
-
Schedule time to reflect on your progress, evaluate what’s working, and adjust your plans as needed. Personally, I like to journal. Reflecting regularly ensures that you stay aligned with your goals and remain adaptable, which strengthens long-term commitment.
If you've ever felt like you were in a fog about your personal life, business, or relationships, THIS EPISODE is for US! Yes US! Listen, I've been there Sis. I've experienced those moments when nothing seemed to be coming together mentally.
What I learned was I had allowed myself to go into a place of isolation both physically and mentally. And while isolation may have it's moments... it cannot and should not consume all of your atmosphere!
So how do you go from fog to clarity? In this episode which is the first episode in this 4-Part Series, we go in!
At the end of the day Sis, It's YOU against YOU! And whatever you tell your mind, she'll believe it.

In this episode, we breakdown a few critical steps specifically for Women in Business! Yes girl, this is just for us!!
As a Business Woman, I have frequently had to navigate through some things solo. I found there were business resources I needed to tap into that were designed specifically for women and even more for minority women. Looking back, I wish there was a pretty blueprint, packaged in a teal box with a beautiful white bow (wink wink) but there was nothing!
Girl listen, I want all my Goal-Friends to know where to get the resources that will bring abundance into their business!
Blessings,
