Establishing healthy boundaries (and sticking to them) is the key to getting ahead in business
As an entrepreneur, setting boundaries can be really difficult because you often feel like you need to do things (that you don’t necessarily want to do) in order to create the business you’ve always dreamt of.
Sure, you could speak at that Live event and get in front of a new audience – but it would mean you’d miss your daughter’s dance recital.
Or, you could go on that much-anticipated girls’ weekend with your BFFs, but it’s smack dab in the middle of your pre-launch runway so you know you’d be distracted the entire time.
Figuring out where to draw the line with certain things in your business (and your personal life) is tricky because there’s not always a clear answer.
Believe me, this is something I’ve struggled with over the years – but now that I’m 14 years into entrepreneurship, I’ve *finally* figured out a way to establish healthy boundaries, and most importantly, stick to them.
And here’s the thing. If I can do it, you can too – and that’s why I wanted to share my best boundary-setting tips with you in this episode.
Tune in to hear:
- Why resentment is an indicator that you need to set more boundaries
- My process for setting healthy boundaries that I can actually enforce
- What it means to ‘choose your hard’ and why that’s important
…. Plus much, much more! This is important to hear no matter what stage of business you’re in. So buckle up and get ready to become a boss at setting healthy boundaries.
Here’s a glance at this episode…
- [01:55] Resentment is a huge indicator that we aren't setting boundaries.
- [05:45] When we say yes to doing something, we need to make sure it's a ‘hell yes!’ Ask for what you need in order to avoid resentment.
- [09:09] The first step to establishing a healthy boundary is knowing what you want in the first place.
- [11:22] As entrepreneurs, we have to say yes to doing some things we don't necessarily want to do in order to get to where we want to be.
- [12:01] Choose your hard. Saying no can be difficult, but it's also hard not to launch or hit your goals.
- [16:02] Succeeding in one area can mean failing in another.
- [17:03] Work-life balance doesn't exist. We get to choose what we want to do and sometimes that will be the hard yes.
- [17:50] What new boundary do you need to establish in order to create a life and a business that lights you up, brings you joy, and fulfills you everyday? Send me a DM @AmyPorterfield.
