In this episode, I talked about planning as the third step in the Accountability Code, right after reflection and humility. Planning isn’t just writing stuff down, it’s about creating a meaningful roadmap that actually helps you succeed. I shared how putting “tennis friends” on my vision board led to real friendships just by showing up and being open.

I also broke down different types of planning, yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily, and how each one helps in life and business. I use Trello to keep my 90-day goals organized and plan out content. For daily planning, I use my own method based on the Accountability Code, and I’m turning it into a book soon! Overall, planning gives you the clarity and confidence to follow through on what matters most.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Why planning is the third step in the Accountability Code

  • How planning without reflection and humility can lead to failure

  • The different ways to make a plan (yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily)

  • Using vision boards to clarify your big goals

  • A personal story about making tennis friends through intentional planning

  • Why quarterly planning helps in business, especially with taxes and events

  • How I use Trello to stay organized with events and marketing

  • Monthly planning for email and social media content

  • Daily planning using my personal system (brain dump, prayer, prioritizing tasks)

  • Turning my daily planning system into a book to help others stay on track
