I Wasn't Expecting This

Hello everyone!

Hope you’ve had a great week!

At the start of September, I enrolled in Sally Gunnell’s Life Hurdles. It’s an 8-week health and fitness programme for women, all online. ???

To be honest, I wasn’t sure why. ??

I don’t really need to lose weight, (although a few pounds off round the middle wouldn’t be a bad thing), eat reasonably healthily, and go to the gym 3 times a week.? And with my twice daily dog walks too, I’m pretty active. ??

But there was something about it that made me curious and wanting to join in.

I wanted to learn a bit more about nutrition, different types of exercise and the mindset around healthy habits and lifestyle. ??

As well as seeing how this type of programme could be run online. It’s always good to see how other people do things, isn’t it?

Almost 2 weeks in – and what I’m getting from the programme is not what I expected! ??

Accountability.?

You have a little app where every day you log what you have done.

How many steps you’ve taken.

What workouts you’ve done.

What you’ve eaten (I don’t do that bit ??)

Sally and her son Luca look at this every day and send you supportive comments or recommendations, plus there’s a weekly call and check-in to keep you on track. ?

It’s amazing what a difference this has made. I’ve found myself wanting to do an extra workout or a few extra steps so I can proudly pop it on the app. And I’ve cut out my morning toast too! ??

The truth is, accountability works—whether it’s in life or business.

We usually know what we need to do, but it's the doing that’s the tricky part, right?

That’s where having some accountability can make all the difference between staying stuck or making progress toward your goals.

Here are a few ideas to help you get going:

• Join a Mastermind group like my Growth Circle
• Work with a Coach or mentor who can guide you
• Set up regular check-ins with a business buddy—you can keep each other on track
• Make a public commitment to something you want to achieve (nothing like a little pressure!)
• Use a tracking tool, app, or planner to stay on top of things—there are plenty out there!

It doesn’t matter how you do it; what matters is that you find something that works for you and helps you move forward. ?

Whether you're training for a marathon, creating an online course, or looking to attract more clients, let’s make this the year you move ahead.

Don’t let another year pass by where you're stuck in the same spot. You’ve got this! ?

Have a wonderful week.

Love from Sharon x ??
