Yet another vulnerable episode today! My staging lead once called quits — my fault, because my staging business was all too accommodating.

I - and technically her too, would scramble to rearrange weekend plans or even work beyond and outside office hours to meet last - minute client demands. Yep! That often happened. Until it felt like the business was running us, instead of us it.

A situation you might be in if you have no business boundaries in place.

But here’s the good news: setting clear deliberate boundaries, backed with policies can change everything.

People will make their requests! From the most mundane to the exceptions, business boundaries will help you make decisions or not even have to think about them at all because your policies already took care of that.

Whether it is figuring out what boundaries and policies to put in place, tips for communicating them, and how to navigate clients who constantly ignore your policies, today’s episode goes into all the details.

Our thoughts about losing a client by having policies hardly matter. Listen in to learn how to make boundaries that create a solid foundation for a business that thrives.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why boundaries aren’t just personal and what policies are for.
• The pitfalls of people-pleasing and how they sabotage your long-term goals.
• How to set clear policies and communicate them well.
• Tips to overcome the fear of enforcing boundaries.
