To keep this short and sweet for you, let's get right into it. Here are a few accountability keys to help you come through in the CLUTCH this week:

Set Monthly Goals

Goals are important. Im sure you already knew this but just adding it here so your eyes and mind can record it one more time. After all, if you're in business, you must have a mission and problems you are trying to solves. Goals give you something to reach for, and point to hold yourself and team accountable for accomplishing.

Break Your Goals Down

Big goals are awesome, and so are little goals (here we set a lot of big, hairy goals!) . It is important to break your goals down in manageable pieces that can help you pieces that can help you clarify and itemized how your going to make progress every day to accomplish those goals. There are also tools that you can use to help such as a planner or any project management tools. Breaking your goals down also help to build momentum while holding yourself accountable to know out small tasks at a time.

Do Check-ins

Setting metrics can help you measure whether or not you are making progress toward your goals. Check-ins can be done 1 or 2 times per week to see if changes to needs to be made to your work or tasks based on the progress you are making.

Set Time Blocks

At this point we may be able to agree that holding yourself accountable can be a tricky task if you're having a tough time with doing some of the recommended steps above.
