The Friday Formula: Accountability for Success

October 04, 2024

Hello, my Friends!

It’s Friday, and you know what that means… time to elevate the mindset!

So, what's your game plan to become an even better entrepreneur?

This is the moment to take full accountability for all your completed tasks and performance this week.

Whether you crushed it or hit a few bumps, own it and reflect on what’s next.

Step into the business mindset, own your week, and elevate yourself to new heights - let’s dive into a powerful Friday routine!

Lessons from the Trenches📝🛠️

Fridays used to be my least productive day of the week. I’d start out with big plans but by the time noon hit, I was mentally checked out.

The problem wasn’t that I lacked discipline. It was that my Fridays had no real purpose. I was just going through the motions, checking off whatever I could, and telling myself I’d pick up the slack on Monday.

And then, one day, I realized something needed to change. It wasn’t about working harder - it was about working smarter. I needed to end my weeks with intention, and that’s when I decided to implement a new Friday routine: Weekly Accountability Review.

This small shift made all the difference. Every Friday afternoon, instead of winding down early or scrambling to finish tasks, I dedicated the last hour of my day to reviewing the week.

Here’s the structure:

  • Reviewing my weekly goals at the beginning of every week, I set clear, measurable goals. By Friday, I held myself accountable by reviewing each one.

  • Identify key wins and misses I celebrated my wins, no matter how small. Whether it was securing a new client or completing a tough project, I took time to acknowledge progress. This level of accountability gave me deep insights into how I worked and what I needed to improve.

  • Plan for next week after reviewing the week, I immediately shifted my focus to the next. What were my non-negotiables for the coming days? What could I do differently to hit my goals and be more efficient?

  • Accountability partner to take things a step further, I reached out to an accountability partner - a fellow entrepreneur who was also struggling with focus and consistency. Every Friday, we exchanged our weekly reviews via email, sharing our wins, losses, and plans for the following week. This external accountability was a game changer.

This end-of-week accountability routine became a ritual that transformed how I approached my business.

My productivity skyrocketed: Since I knew I had to face my progress every Friday, I worked with more intention throughout the week.

My focus sharpened: By regularly reflecting on where I’d gone off track, I started noticing patterns. I became more aware of distractions.

My confidence grew: With every week that passed, I felt more in control of my business. The accountability review gave me a clear sense of progress, and with that came the confidence that I was moving in the right direction.

No more lingering guilt about what I didn’t finish.

No more late-night work sessions trying to catch up.

Just peace of mind.

Closing Thought 🧠

The change I made wasn’t drastic, and it didn’t need fancy apps or complex systems.

It was simply a commitment to end every week with accountability - and the impact was profound.

Be honest with yourself and hold yourself accountable for your actions and habits.

This one small change could be the key to becoming a more focused and empowered entrepreneur - ending each week feeling accomplished, prepared, and ready for what’s next.

Until next time,
