Effort ≠ Progress (here’s why)


Today's Takeaway:

Effort doesn’t always equal progress but you can change this 🩷


Hey Reader!

Have you ever had one of those days where you worked nonstop but still felt behind?

It’s not because you’re not trying hard enough.

It’s because motion (constant activity) isn’t the same as momentum (meaningful progress).

In this week’s solo episode of Accountable, I’m breaking down:

  • The 3 C’s of the Momentum Method: Clarity, Capacity, and Commitment
  • Why tracking your progress weekly can transform how you feel about your work
  • How to spot when you’re doing ā€œbusy workā€ instead of goal-aligned work

If you’ve been putting in the effort but not seeing results, this episode will help you pause, realign, and move forward with purpose.

  • Have the infrastructure built in my business that will allow a team to start taking over tasks on their own.
  • Gain at one new client for my email launch strategy service.

I hope to see your goal set soon too!

Today's Takeaway: Before you choose what you want next year, reconnect with who you want to be 🩷 Hey Reader! As we inch closer to a new year, most entrepreneurs jump straight into planning mode: new goals, new projects, new strategies.

This week on the podcast I'm talking with systems & maternity leave strategist, Aly Caffrey...who also happens to be a great friend of mine. We...

Today's Takeaway: Gratitude isn’t pretending the hard things didn’t happen. It’s simply appreciating something even during hard seasons 🩷 Hey Reader! With Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., I wanted to share my gratitude to you as well as sharing a slightly different angle on this topic. This year has been heavy for so many of us. World chaos.
