Better Business Boundaries Lead to Better Profits
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.
