Accountability Is NOT What You Think: Coach Amanda McKinney

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.' Takeaways: Accountability means taking ownership of one's actions, regardless of the outcome. Guilt should not be associated with accountability; it is about owning the action and learning from it. Setting realistic goals requires honesty about what one truly wants and the capacity to achieve it. Finding a community of like-minded individuals is crucial for combating loneliness and gaining support as an entrepreneur. Networking events and connecting with others can help entrepreneurs manage their time effectively and stay productive. Amanda McKinney's book, 'Why Not?
