Embrace Accountability in Your Small Business

Why Accountability Matters

Accountability is more than meeting deadlines; it's about taking responsibility for your actions. It builds trust, fosters community, and drives continuous improvement. By holding ourselves accountable, we set high standards for excellence and integrity.

As an artist and business owner, accountability keeps me motivated and on track. I used to set monthly goals and feel frustrated when I didn’t meet them. I realized I work best with weekly goals: one challenging task and two that move my business forward. Sharing these with my accountability group has boosted my productivity and kept me focused.

For instance, setting a goal to introduce organic linen napkins this year was made easier with the support and feedback from my accountability group.
