12. My Top 5 Boundaries When it Comes to Running a Business

If you’re a Christian entrepreneur you know that business can take over your life. If we don’t have boundaries, we are going to operate in chaos, and we know that God does not desire that for us. One of the reasons that we start businesses is to have freedom. If we don't have the freedom to show up for our family or for our clients, to take care of ourselves, then why are we doing it? 1. Dedicated Work Time Now, not everyone has the same flexibility; but I need to know every day when I will be working. I want to be present with my family and also as a faith-based business coach. This is why I create my work time when I have childcare available. That’s when I’m on calls, meeting with clients, getting through big tasks. Hiring out my marketing has helped me establish this work time. 2. Calm It Down and Take a Break Sometimes I just need to chill. If I’m on Instagram and seeing how other people are setting up posts or doing a launch, I forget that I need to just be myself. There’s so much noise around us. 3. No Late Nights or Weekends Let your clients know, ‘these are the hours that you can reach me and I don’t work weekends.’ This helps maintain that sense of sanity and helps to establish boundaries with your clients too. They know what to expect, and there’s less room for error. 4.  Treat Your Clients Fairly Have protocols in place, pay on time, communicate clearly. Walk your clients through the processes that you have in place. I can honor my clients who are following my guidelines because I hold everyone to the same standards. 5. Say no to the Things that Don’t Help You Say ‘yes to the things that matter. Don’t focus on the things that take more energy and time away from you without adequate payback. Don’t be afraid to know what you’re worth and know you can charge for these things. Don’t sacrifice your boundary, who you are, to fit inside someone else’s box. Sometimes these boundaries will look different for different seasons in your life or business. Get organized and set your values to help establish what this looks like for you. These are set in place to help you thrive in your business and show up for your clients in the best way. Don’t forget to have grace at times, because things can’t always be fixed. You may have to adapt sometimes but stay true to yourself and you’ll find the right balance there. So I challenge you to go set some boundaries in your business today.
