Better Business Boundaries Lead to Better Profits
A not-so-subtle reminder
Have you ever had someone you respect and admire say something so directly to you that it stops you in your tracks?
Not something hurtful — but something honest that makes you take a good, hard look at yourself?
I remember the first time my therapist did this with me like it was yesterday (it was 19 years ago).
“You did this to yourself.”
Ouch.
But also… WOW. 🤯
No shame, no judgment, just the truth.
And because of that, I realized what happened wasn’t the end of the world (although it felt like it at the time).
It was also when I started to understand that taking complete and total responsibility for everything in my life was the path to ultimate freedom (it’s been a process… this wasn’t overnight).
And, of course, the thing I “did to myself” ended up being a huge blessing (that story is for another day).
I had an experience this week that left me feeling super irritated with myself because, again, I did it to myself.
This is when I realized I need to be much clearer in my business when it comes to boundaries.
