Protect your time + energy
Boss Boundaries
How do you feel about your business boundaries? If you find yourself answering with anything other than “Fantastic!”, we strongly suggest taking some time to revisit the ones you’ve already established and consider adding in a few more to protect your energy. You might even be asking yourself what are boundaries in business?
Recently, there have been some great conversations happening in the Community and IRL about how bosses set boundaries with clients, customers, and even family and friends. If you’re unsure as to whether or not your boundaries are working, be on the lookout for these telltale signs that they just aren’t: Your calendar is packed and you don’t have time to work on the offerings that fuel you and your business, let alone get dinner with friends. You might find yourself feeling more on edge than usual and quick to snap back when you feel frustrated. Or you find it more and more common that clients are texting or calling after business hours and you feel the need to respond right away.
If these sound nothing like your current biz situation, congrats! If not, buckle up! We’ve got some links to support you and your boundaries this week.
