4 | Does your Business Feel Like a Prison: How to have Business Boundaries

Have you heard the saying, I quit my job to have more freedom and now I work 24/7 for myself?

 

I have and I hate it!  I don’t believe that is what business is about.

 

Yes, in the beginning, it can require more time to build systems and grow your business, but you should always have boundaries.

 

When I first started, I had been working day and night, responding to messages the minute they came in, afraid to take breaks from my phone in case I missed something. 

 

I hired a business coach who told me to have business hours, just like a regular business. 

 

I took her advice, created business hours, and responded to messages and emails only during those times and it completely changed my life.

 

Here are a few ways I gain control over my time:

-Don’t share my phone number with clients

-Determine how much money I needed to make

-Remember my Why

-Paid myself right away

-Set Business Hours

 

Take a listen and learn more about the ways I set boundaries and how it changed my business and life!
