    Focus on What You Can Control   Identify areas within your control: Begin by assessing your current situation and determining the aspects that you have control over. While you may not be able to control the overall state of the economy, you have the power to make choices and take action in various areas of your life, such as your personal finances, career, and lifestyle.   Adopt a Growth Mindset   Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth: Instead of viewing challenges as roadblocks or setbacks, adopt a mindset that sees them as opportunities for personal and professional growth. Recognize that challenges can push you out of your comfort zone, leading to new insights, skills, and experiences. Embracing challenges with a positive attitude allows you to learn from them, develop resilience, and discover your capabilities.   If you would like to chat with me or do a discovery call, then email me at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com.

    Are you struggling with being content? Maybe you are in season where you have doubts about everything and see your glass as half empty. Are you struggling mentally, physically and spiritually? Are you tired of being tired?   Let me tell you, I know we have all been here before! BUT… We don't have to stay here! I'm going to share some steps to staying Full of Abundance! And let me tell you! Once you have the right mindset, your personal life and your business is going to SOAR!!!   Step 1: GET RIGHT WITH YOUR MAKER! – Im telling you, I don't know how I would make it without my Lord and Savior! My God is Good! I don't know who your god is but mine is all powerful, all knowing, and is my Source! Whatever you believe, know that He has you right where he wants you.   Step 2: GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD!! – We've all done it, overthink, keep dwelling on the bad or how we've got it bad. One of the best ways to get out of your head and stop thinking is to stop thinking! HA! I use meditation to do this and let me tell you it's the BEST!   I have several different types of meditation that I do. Prayer being the first and foremost. Moving meditation (when I go walk to think) Quiet time – meditation in the quiet with my eyes closed.   Step 3: AFFIRMATIONS! -  You've heard me talk about affirmations. Maybe you don't get compliments often or the affirmation you require. Everyone needs to hear that they are lovely, beautiful, talented, and made for MORE! Also, let me tell you, you don't need affirmation from anyone but yourself and from GOD. He's all the affirmation that I need.    1 John 4:9-10 says, “In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”   Wow! What a wonderful reminder! If you would like to discuss His love more, then email me at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com. I would love to share His love with you too!     Get an “Unstuck” Session with me! One hour coaching session! With ME!! $47 WOW!! Click HERE!!! To get UNSTUCK in your business!!!   Or you can…   … participate in “Offering UP” in your business. Offering up our time.

Do you have an online business that is product based or service based? Maybe you don't know exactly what it is that you have to offer? Maybe you're just starting out and need some guidance. Well I would love to work with you!   I'm offering up a group mastermind specifically for women entrepreneurs that want to grow their businesses, connect with other women in business, and give all they've got to make our communities a better place through supporting other women entrepreneurs!   Is that you?

    Wow! There have been so many crazy things going on in our world! How do we stay positive when so much negativity surrounds us? KNOW! We have HOPE in Him! Isaiah 12:2 tells us “God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.”   I hold tight to this verse. When feelings of overwhelm and uncertainty arise, I go to Him and say this verse aloud. As I recite this verse a feeling of peace surrounds me and I know that He has me!   Let me encourage you today! Stay positive and KNOW that God is in control. No matter what is going on around me, I will sing His praise. In good and in bad I will praise HIM. When I notice that I am feeling anxious or am beginning to worry, I recognize the thought and then I proceed to say aloud everything that I am thankful for. I am surrounded by abundance! As I say aloud all of the things that I do have going for me; I am reminded how truly blessed I am and how abundance is everywhere. I was reminded this morning during my meditation time that God is Good, ALL the time. Whether we choose to recognize this is really up to us. We can choose abundance, joy, wealth, it's all there we just have to claim it!   Some Tips for Staying Positive: Take time to meditate – Taking time to meditate in the morning really gets the day started off right! Recite “Morning Affirmations” – Each morning I recite approximately 10-15 affirmations. It takes about 5 minutes but it reminds me that I am made for MORE! (You can find affirmations by googling or even on Pinterest) If you need help, email us and we would be glad to help you with this. Surround yourself with other positive people – Having the right support group is essential for living a stress-free, positive lifestyle. Lastly, Pray – Give it all to God!   Email us at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com to ask any questions that you may have.   If you would like to work with me or need a business coach, please email me at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com I'd love to hear from you!

     Episode 32: Transitioning into the New Year with Your Business   Are you going through a transitional period in your business? Are you excited for what the new year will bring? Well! Me Too!!! I've definitely been in a transitional stage for several months now and I know so many exciting new things are coming my way! I can feel it in my heart and all the way through my toes! Ha!   We've all been there, and if you aren't going through a transition now, then you have before or girl, it's coming! I'm making a transition in my business through growing my podcast & business coaching moving from a traditional business model into something unknown to me.  I'm super excited about it and know that God has BIG things planned for me and my future! I've been working hard, praying hard, and faithing hard! Is that a word? Ha!   I know we've all just navigated through the hustle & bustle of the holidays and I don't know about you but my time with family & friends has been absolutely magical! God is so good! But now it's time to refocus our eyes on the prize, get back to the business of our business. Hopefully you have been preparing for the new year and thinking/analyzing what you would like to improve on, nix or accelerate in your business in 2023. So…   Here are a few tips for you during this transitional time in your business:   Be uncomfortable: Transition and change can be uncomfortable and that's a GOOD thing! Trust me! It's during these times we rely heavily on faith and put ourselves out there. Creating growth and even deeper faith as we allow God to show out. Stay focused: Keep your eye on the prize. I know that the days and weeks can become months and become long, but keep showing up! I promise it will be worth it. Pray: Continue praying for God's direction and wisdom throughout this transitional time in your business. Let Him be the guide. The Lord says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will counsel you with my lovely eye on you.” Psalm 32:8 Go with the flow: Many times things just fall into place, especially when you aren't expecting it. Suddenly you look up and voila' you've arrived. Enjoy the process: You've heard me say this time and time again, “enjoy the process”. Relish the joyful moments as well as the difficult. These are what I call teachable moments, life lessons, and give us wisdom for future decisions and business transactions.   “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates   Email us at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com to share what transition you are going through in your business.

Listen to this episode as I share the Christmas story and what it means to me.   Luke 2: 1-20 The Birth of Jesus 2 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire[a] should be registered. 2 This first registration took place while[b]Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David, 5 to be registered along with Mary, who was engaged to him[c] and was pregnant. 6 While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 Then she gave birth to her firstborn son, and she wrapped him tightly in cloth and laid him in a manger,[d] because there was no guest room available for them. The Shepherds and the Angels 8 In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.[e] 10 But the angel said to them, “Don't be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:[f] 11 Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped tightly in cloth and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host[g] with the angel, praising God and saying: 14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people he favors![h][i] 15 When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the manger. 17 After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary was treasuring up all these things in her heart and meditating on them. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had seen and heard, which were just as they had been told.   Praying that you find peace, comfort & JOY JOY JOY this holiday season!

    Episode 29: Distractions In Your Business & Other Sparkly Things

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 13, 2022 13:03


    As we approach the Christmas season, there are so many things that can be distractions…   Whether it be parties, meeting end of year goals to get that bonus or just thinking, whew, I need to be doing something else with my life! LOL I don't know what season of life you are in but let me tell you distractions in your business are real and can quickly have you spinning in the glitter.   Here are some tips to help you stay focused:   Keeping your work flow consistent – Yes some of us like to take off during the holidays to be with family or just for a much needed break. But let me tell you plan for this! If you know you're going to be off for a week or maybe even 2! Plan ahead! Batch some of your projects, make sure your team knows and they are equipped to handle things in your absence. Stay focused! – This is something that is particularly difficult for me. I love all the pretty sparkles and I LOVE to try new things. So this can be quite difficult when I am working toward a goal. You may think that I'm silly or think, “you really have to do that!” But, yes I am a very visual person so I post and write my goals EVERYWHERE!! I write them in my journal over and over, I pin pictures in my phone, I create albums in my phone, I tape them to my dash in my car or to my mirror in my bathroom. Maybe you're really great at staying focused or you have a technique that works for you (and I would love to hear how you handle staying focused). This is what helps me! Stay connected – Staying connected to your mentor or business coach can also keep you on track. Run ideas and opportunities by them. Sometimes having someone from the outside looking in is a great way to “see” what's right in front of you. Even opportunities that are to good to be true are sometimes not what is right for us at this particular moment. I can remember when I had my shop, I was killing it! I had an investor from out of town want me to open another location and I'm telling you that the offer was almost to good to turn down. But after prayer and thinking long and hard, it was going to put a strain on me and my family, not to mention my other shop. It literally made me cringe to turn it down, but in the end it was the best thing for me, my family and my business. Meditation, Prayer and Self Reflection – If you don't hear me say anything else, hear me now!! Meditation, prayer, and self-reflection are a MUST for anyone! Whichever you choose, I do all 3, take some time to meditate on your thoughts; pray, pray, pray; and take time to reflect. Reflection can be done daily, but also take a look back each month at your business, then each quarter, then each year. I keep a personal journal as well as a business journal. I also keep my date books (which I write notes, things I should have done and other thoughts) so that I can revisit them to increase my productivity the following year.   I truly hope that this has helped you and maybe you have suggestions to tackle distractions and all the sparkly things that tend to stand in our way of accomplishing our goals.   I'd love to hear how you handle distractions!

    Are you overwhelmed? Are you feeling inadequate or like you can't get everything done? Today I talk about overwhelm and anxiety and how I deal with it Ha! I know we have all been there, going in so many different directions at one time or experiencing difficult times, trials and tribulations… I've definitely been here for some time and boy am I tired. Are you struggling financially, maybe your business isn't growing like you had wished, or you're dealing with difficult clients or customers or maybe you're just stressed because so many people are pulling at you and “need” you. Don't get discouraged! But time and again, God keeps saying “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” James 1:2-3. I keep hearing this over and over… God keeps saying, I've got this and YOU! I know that with trials comes growth! So here I am persevering, considering it JOY to be in my situation. I know that has been hard but I feel like the more we go through the easier it gets to find joy in the hard times. I can definitely look back at circumstances in my life and SEE where God was at work and has always had my best interests at heart! So my encouragement to you is to hang on, its going to be a bumpy ride, but KNOW that God has got you right where he needs you to be! Let Him work out your circumstances. Don't try to hurry them along. Smile and enjoy the process of growth, testing of your faith, persevering, and know He is preparing you for so much MORE!!! During these times or when I'm feeling like things are out of control, I sit down and write all the things that are good in my life, all the things that I have to be thankful for! I find comfort in this and it helps me to see that things could be so much worse than what they are. I say them aloud to myself and praise God for each one.   If you would like to work with me or need a business coach, please email me at emily@emilyjanzenmcgrath.com I'd love to hear from you!

In this episode I have coffee with my assistant Heather and we discuss all the reasons you should hire an interior designer and what to look for.   Reasons why you should hire an interior designer: Experience – they have experience in their field Connections – they have connections with contractors and other designers Sources – they have resources that not everyone has access to Money savings – in the long run they will save you time and money   What to look for in a designer: A good listener – a designer should be a good listener; listening to your needs & wants. If they don't, move on. They're a good communicator – they should be good at relaying or explaining process & procedures. Respected – ask around and make sure they are well respected in your community and do they come well recommended. They can create a style you love – be sure to look at some of their previous work and that you like their decorating style. The last thing you want is to use your hard earned money to end up with something that you hate or regret doing.   I always love having coffee and discussions with Heather!

    Episode 17: Building Endurance & Character in Your Business:   This morning during my quiet time, my scripture reading was from Romans 5:3-5, “… but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”   Talk about straight at me! Wow I really needed this verse right at that very moment! It doesn't matter what business you're in or how well your business is run… It may be a well-oiled machine but we all face adversity, affliction, and just “stuff”. But one thing that I have discovered over the years is that this verse holds true. Through adversity and affliction, we find endurance and as this verse says, endurance builds character and character produces hope. Boy I should be FULL of character by now!   But with each adverse moment or situation, we learn and grow. Sometimes these experiences are easily learned and others are learned the hard way. So here are some steps to help you charge through adversity in your business.   Take a time out! Sometimes we just need a time out… Stop, find a quiet place and take a deep breath, meditate, or simply be. There are lots of meditation guides out there if you need help, just ask Alexa! I pray consistently throughout the day and make sure I take time to meditate and calm my body and mind each day as well. Evaluate the situation. Take a look at the situation you are in. What decisions did you make to place you in this situation? Were they well thought out decisions? Were they made in a hurry or rushed? Sometimes I make decisions and I'm not really paying attention or seeing the situation clearly because let's be honest we all have a 100 things going on at one time. Take the time to be thoughtful before making decisions. Is there anything that I could have done differently or went about things in a different way? We should always take time to evaluate where we are and how we arrived there. This helps us in making decisions in the future. Often times we put ourselves in these situations and sometimes adversity comes and it was beyond our control. Talk to someone who has been there before. Let me tell you, I look to others who have been in similar situations. Remember I've talked about having a mentor or coach… Well I have several older women who have been mentors to me in my personal life and professional life. But in your business, this is where a coach comes in useful. Often times they've experienced the same things that you are experiencing and can give guidance in any situation. Run the race! Through each adverse moment, difficult situation, enjoy the process. Yes I said to enjoy the difficult. During these times, we can learn many great lessons. For example: When I was in education, teaching. I thought I wanted to teach at a particular school. I mean I was hell bent on teaching there and tried my best to get on as a teacher at this school. After several years of it just not working out and God saying “No Emily, I want you at this school.” I quit trying and settled into the school I was at. Little did I know (Of Course God always knows best), this job was exactly where I needed to be, my children needed to be. This job led me to the home of my dreams, the job of my dreams, and also if I had not still be teaching at this school we would have never adopted our son, Jose', who needed us. So enjoy the moment, sit back and take it all in. Through all the tears, hardships, etc. God has a plan for you and your business.   I look forward to chatting with you again.

    Episode 16: Re-boot Your Business

    Boot Camp for Your Business:   So I have a challenge for you for this next week… Are you struggling to stay on track? Are you bumfuzzled and don't know where to start? Well today I have some great quick tips on how to get back on track! We're going to take 5 days to re-boot your business! So get that pen & paper and let's get started! So we've all been there, we get caught up in the day to day, working the grind. We get into a cycle of get up, work, go home, sleep, then get up and do it all over again… Losing sight of what we're trying to achieve. So here are some helpful tips that you can implement this week. I've broken each tip down into a day so that you have time to complete each task successfully. Each one may take you an hour or some may take longer depending on your mess. LOL So here we go…   Day 1: Clean up your work space. Today I want you to focus on creating a clean work space. Some of you may have an office and some of you may be working from your kitchen table. Believe me, it doesn't matter what your office space looks like but, it definitely needs to be organized and clean. I find that this is one of the biggest contributing factors for procrastination and lack of production. I know if I can't find things it takes me twice as long to accomplish a task or if my area is messy then I'll put off working because “I just can't deal today”. Have you been there? So today on day 1 let's focus on getting that mess cleaned up! Try using a pretty vase or your favorite piece of pottery to hold your pens, pencils, highlighters, scissors, paperclips, etc. Have your files stored properly. I have a file organizer on my desk for projects that I am currently working on regularly. For the projects that I previously worked on or files I don't need everyday, they're stored away in a larger file cabinet. CORDS! AHHH! What a mess they can be. Be sure that they are tied up securely with a ziptie or are out of site. I don't know about you but these can really make me crazy. Place a favorite picture or two on your desk or have inspirational quotes written to post on your wall. I have various paintings that I love hung around my office, and I love inspirational quotes & scripture. I write these on cards and hang them in site so that I can glance at them as positive reminders throughout my week. Now if you're working from your kitchen table or you have a really small workspace then keeping it clean is essential for you. By keeping your area clean and clutter free you'll be able to more efficiently complete your projects during your work week.   Day 2: Clean up your computer: I know if you're on your computer and working throughout the day it is hard to place everything in the right place. I am the queen of saving everything to my desk top! HA! Then when I am looking for a file it can be very daunting with so much on my desktop. Try saving each file, pic, or whatever you're working on in the proper place. Create folders and sub folders to help you stay organized with your files. So today I want you to clean up that computer! Use an external hard drive to back up your files. I use WD Elements External Hard Drive. https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Portable-External-Drive-WDBU6Y0050BBK-WESN/dp/B07X41PWTY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=298HA2EDVT0NS&keywords=hard+drive&qid=1664813333&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI2LjYxIiwicXNhIjoiNi4wNiIsInFzcCI6IjUuNTkifQ%3D%3D&s=pc&sprefix=hard+drive%2Ccomputers%2C158&sr=1-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0 This can be purchased on Amazon for around $100. Totally Worth IT!!   Day 3: Evaluate where you are: Today I want you to meditate on where you are. What's your story? How did you get here? Where do you want to go or where would you like to see yourself? Take today to really think about these questions and write them in a journal along with your responses. Things really become real and relevant when you write them down. Do you like where you are? Have you become complacent? Are you being fulfilled in your work? If so, WOOHOO! That's Awesome! If not, then what do I really want to do? What would make me fulfilled?   Day 4: Evaluate where you want to go: Yesterday you meditated on where you were… For Day 4 I want you to evaluate where you would like to go or what would make you fulfilled. Take a moment and list what would make you fill fulfilled. Is it, being financially stable and what does that look like to you? Do you want to grow your existing business or totally start from scratch? Write some descriptive words explaining how you would feel if you were doing the work you loved. Joyful, fulfilled, energized, content, confident, ambitious. These will help you visualize what it will be like when you get there! Again, be sure to write all these into your journal or somewhere that you can visually see them each day. This will help you stay motivated and on track towards your goal.   Day 5: Evaluate the steps necessary to get there and Begin Implementation: Now that you know where you want to be, what it would feel and be like; let's make a plan on how we're going to arrive at our destination. Let's really map out that plan! What do you need to do to achieve that fulfillment? Do I need more education? Do I need to do some research into other professionals in the same field? Do I need a business coach to help guide me along the way? (Side note: this is one of the best decisions I ever made and one of the best investments I made for my business) Find a coach or mentor in your niche. You won't be sorry you did. Create a vision board or implementation schedule to get you started on the write path. This can be a living, breathing thing, make adjustments as you go, but you have to start somewhere. Then implement this plan! No more procrastination, no more “I'll do it tomorrow.” Start TODAY!!! Remember “rejection is redirection”, Sumner Redstone said it best, “Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes it's built on catastrophe.” I really hope this boot camp will get you going in the right direction and to fulfilling your dreams of success! I look forward to chatting with you again.

    Episode 15 Take-a-ways from my Camping/Hiking trip with my Daddy

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 27, 2022 16:10


    All this said, I want to give you some takeaways from this trip: It's so important to unplug and have down time. In this crazy world and wild ride we call life we can get so caught up in the every day, mundane, rat race. Trying to compete, get ahead, or just be sure everyone has what they need or want. Now my children are all over the age of 21 but they still need me from time to time. And ladies if you have small children, I've been there! Believe me I know the struggle. Some things are just out of our control and we have to trust in God's divine will for our lives.Now look we were camping ( really camping, like no shower for 5 days), i.e. no cell service, no Wi-Fi or Internet. Ha! We had the music of nature, the running streams, waterfalls, birds singing, chipmunks. I'm not gonna lie, this was very much a real struggle for me the first few days. I'm not accustomed to not being able to communicate with my people… I had no contact with my business, family. Tough Stuff! Around Day 3 I began to settle down and deal! “You're only as good as the people you surround yourself with!” What does this mean? I am a full believer that my people that I have around me, surround me are my top people! I left my assistant, Heather, (you've met her in episode 3 “Wine Down Wednesday)… She's my life line, my confidant, my organizer, my best friend! Saying this you NEED a Heather in your life if you don't have one! I had full faith that she could handle anything that came up in the business. And let me tell you, I would not have survived our week in the woods without my dad, the first boy scout! Having the right tools aren't any good if you don't know how to use them. On the second day we were completing a pretty rigorous hike. And when I say rigorous, my dad is almost 70, runs 6 miles a day and was kicking my ass! That day we walked around 20,000 steps and according to his Garmin climbed 161 flights of stairs, altitude of around 3,400… My thighs, calves, hips, ankles were feeling pretty rebellious that evening. But I digress, so about halfway up our hike we I started developing a blister on my hand. I spoke this out loud and my dad said, “It's because you're holding your wrist strap incorrectly. Well DUH! This totally eliminated the problem, Praise the Lord! You know blisters are the worst. With that said, it doesn't matter if you have ALL the right gear/tools for your business, unless you know how to use them, you'll develop blisters. Be ready for anything!! During our hike the last day, we were chatting, hiking to the Grotto Water falls. This is along the Trillium Trail leading up to Mt. LeConte. At the top of Mt. LeConte is a lodge, you cannot drive there, you have to complete the 8 or so mile hike to be able to stay there. Along the falls trail up to Mt. LeConte is where the camels are used to bring supplies up to the lodge. Really cool huh! I'll put the link in the show notes if you're interested in doing this hike or staying at Mt. LeConte. Anyhoo! About mile 2 we rounded a corner and low and behold standing tall was a BLACK BEAR! Yes I said a bear! He was about a year old. Dad stopped dead in his tracks, starting backing away. He stood about 4.5 ft tall, and was waiting on us because he was curious. We weren't worried about this bear but its Mother had to be somewhere close! In that instant I was thinking “I can't get to my camera!” but “wait, do I need to run?” Ha! We “got big” and spread out, blew our whistle and talked really loud to them and they meandered on down into the woods. But WOW what an experience! With that said sometimes the unexpected can turn into the best experience! Change is inevitable but hold true to who you are. I have to say that one of our favorite things to do when we go to the mountains is eat at the Pancake Pantry downtown Gatlinburg. This has been a family tradition for over 50 years! Even though Gatlinburg has changed quite a bit and not so much to our taste, we still have our little nugget inside the town. You better get there early, expect a wait, and order the Wild Blueberry Pancakes with 2 eggs over easy or my dad's fav, the Buckwheat Pancakes with 2 eggs over easy. You won't regret it! I'll put the link in the show notes as well. http://pancakepantry.com    Needless to say our trip was amazing! Yes the bears might have run because we smelled so bad! But these moments are something we will remember for a lifetime and I'm sharing them with you! Hoping that you'll get away from the hustle and have some down time!   I look forward to chatting with you again.

    Episode 14: Setting Boundaries in Your Business

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 20, 2022 13:54


    What are Boundaries??? Have you set boundaries with your family, friends, and clients? If not then this is the episode for you Boundaries! What is a boundary? Websters dictionary defines “boundaries” as a line that marks the limits of an area; a dividing line. Everyone needs boundaries, whether it be in your personal or professional life. Creating boundaries gives you confidence and ease of mind that you know exactly what you expect from others but also what is expected from you.   What happens when you don't set boundaries? Burn out! Youre trying to please everyone around you and you end up stressed, cranky and exhausted! Your customers, family and friends drain you of your energy. You become very resentful of everyone around you. Your sleep, health and your personal & professional life suffer.   No one wants to be cranky, in bad health, and stressed…   So let's set some boundaries:   Boundaries with your Family and Friends: Communicate your work hours and stick to them! Especially if you work from home, your job is just as important and relevant as a “go to work or to the office” job. Learn to say “No”. You don't have to be rude, just remind them that you have a set schedule and are unavailable. Balance your work time with your family/friend time. What are your priorities? Mine are God, family, work, playtime Establish an emergency contact method. How can your family reach you and you will know when they truly “need” you. Boundaries with your Clients: These are similar to your boundaries with your family. Communicate up front your hours, availability and how they can reach you Don't promise what you can't deliver! You can say “No” or refer them to someone else. Taking on more clients or work than you're capable of only creates more stress, which leads to burnout, resentfulness, pour health, poor sleep, and suffering… NEGATIVE!! A customer “emergency” isn't always an emergency… It's okay not to respond immediately. Again! It's okay not to respond immediately! This took me a long time to realize but it's OKAY! Consider, does this really effect the state of the nation or is it going to kill someone???? Boundaries with Yourself: Set your work hours and STICK TO THEM! No exceptions, once you start it keeps cascading into more disruption. Set some time aside to devote to your business, time to do the backend work Don't take on more than you can deliver, You want to focus on quality more than quantity. Be You! Just because someone else is all over FB, Instagram, TicTok, etc ALL the time and seems like they have it all together… Don't fall to imposter syndrome (you can listen about that in episode 10). Do What you do! Prioritize what needs to be done and forget the rest. Lastly, set time aside for YOU! Go get your nails done, a facial, or just take a walk. Investing in yourself is the best medicine.   You'll find that if you set clear boundaries and stick to them, you will be a happier, more productive YOU!
