Today we chat with Amazon Best Selling Author and Accountability Coach, Amanda McKinney about the importance of accountability and goal-setting for entrepreneurs.
She defines accountability as taking ownership of one's actions, regardless of the outcome, and emphasizes the need to let go of what cannot be controlled. She also addresses the issue of guilt and how to manage it when holding oneself accountable.
She explains significance of setting realistic goals based on honesty, capacity, and commitment and advises entrepreneurs to find their community and connect with like-minded individuals to combat loneliness and gain support.
We wrap with a discussion about her book, 'Why Not? The Accidental Entrepreneur's Guide to Success.'
