Over the last decade, I’ve learned that creating order in my business isn’t just strategy. It’s stewardship.
Early on, I was the entrepreneur sending emails late at night, taking calls on my personal number, meeting on Saturdays, carrying unfinished work into my weekends, and discounting my prices just to secure the sale. Not because it was wise, but because it was driven by pressure to book clients and a desire to overdeliver at the expense of myself.
Here’s what I learned.
When you don’t set boundaries, people don’t know how to respect your time, your energy, or your value.
Now I understand that boundaries don’t limit impact. They protect it 🛡️. I’ve added clear expectations into my contracts and onboarding process, and I take my time and talent seriously because clarity is kindness.
Some of my current non-negotiables:
⏰ No calls or meetings before 1:30 PM
📅 No meetings on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays
🚫 No business calls or texts to my personal number
Mini wisdom:
When you guard your time, you’re not being strict. You’re partnering with God.
💬 Your turn:
Drop one boundary you practice or want to start implementing in your business.
No calls before ___.
No work after ___.
Fridays are for rest.
What’s yours?
