Be Brave - Re-Set Your Biz Boundaries!

"The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything."

Warren Buffett

Oh, it's as though you're the free service personnel and everyone wants to pick your brain. The brain you nourished through pain, questioning, investing, applying, re-inventing and re-wiring for the past decade!

STOP THE INSANITY.

I tried this little ditty with the electric company and asked them if I could simply use their electrical connections for a month. Can you say living with candles?

It's not only an insult to your value and integrity, it also puts you on the spot. Well, you don't need to feel that way. It took me a while to learn how to say no to wanna' be's, only-fer-free's and those picky ones.

Don't misunderstand me. I have done more to support my community over the years than even I would have imagined. However, there comes a time when free for all becomes a disservice to all.

BRAVELY CREATE BOUNDARIES

The idea of negotiating payments is great, howevahhhhhh, if you're not going to do the work, want to piss and moan about problems, decide to be right all the time then I will gently show you the door.

Re-setting boundaries doesn't mean giving breaks and never having conversations to support people. You'll be the judge of that and how you choose and whom you choose to wobble your boundaries for and with respectively.

We all have those times when we need help with the budget and I know that from my own first-hand experience. Yet, once the knowledge of changing your mindset is in front of you, re-setting boundaries become an honorable thing to do for others as well as yourself.

It makes no difference the cost of your service. The difference is the commitment and application the person you're serving is willing to take action on.

So here's my new set of boundaries:

*If I offer something for free, you still get the same me as always. That's for my integrity.

*If you want to play in my playground you will have guidelines to follow. Without these boundaries, your learning experience is nothing.

*Show up human without the B.S. or with my blessings, please leave and I'll gently walk you to the door.

*Whining isn't allowed because successful people don't whine. They look for solutions.

*Bring me your questions, not your problems. Non-negotiable.

*My greatest desire is to have you leave better than when we met, whether that's a one-time conversation or a full-on playing in the playground environment.

*If your attitude is that the world is to blame, it was someone else's fault and the dog ate your homework, unless you're here to change this attitude, don't bring it to me in the first place.

*My heart is huge and I am the DIVA IN THE HOUSE, yet your betterment is my job, my joy and my fulfillment. If you don't do the work I simply can't help you.

Where are you setting your boundaries? I've seen too many amazing coaches, entrepreneurs lose their businesses and their minds because their own boundaries are properly placed. If you aren't doing it, it's time to re-set those boundaries.

We naturally want to support others and that's why many of us are in the business of helping others. Business, yes. That means that we've invested in ourselves, and we walk the talk.

Yes, this is a simple article and yet it has a lot of bang for its readers. I had this conversation with my own coach!
