Struggling to keep the creative flame burning? I hear it a lot: "Elizabeth, where do YOU get accountability? How can I get back to this being fun? I’ve lost the joy."

In this episode, I'm sharing four personal strategies that have kept me disciplined and accountable as an author.

But make no mistake, it's not just about discipline and accountability. It's also about inspiration, which can make a surprise appearance in the most unexpected places. We'll explore the significance of taking breaks to recharge and ignite new ideas, and how surrounding yourself with inspiring influences can be incredibly helpful.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

- Explore the intriguing concept of the 'third layer why' and how it can guide you when the going gets tough. 
- The common yearning for accountability
- The notion that a need for accountability might stem from a lack of clarity on what you want to achieve through writing a book (or on your book's direction).
