EP324: Erin Daiber - Healthy Boundaries And How They Grow Your Bookkeeping Business

"Being passive or being a people pleaser in business is
not a great way to get results."
-Erin Daiber
 
Running a bookkeeping business isn’t easy. There are enough
external challenges to contend with, without piling on internal
ones of our own making. Too many of us aspire to be all things to
all people. But this strategy only ever leads one way… to
overextension and burnout.
 
There is a huge difference between being polite and being
passive. You do not have to agree to every demand a client makes,
nor should you. You will never be able to please everyone. It is
far better to set healthy and effective boundaries instead. Ones
that let you make and maintain polite and consistent connections
while being firm and accurate about what is and what isn’t within
your capacity to deliver.
 
Erin Daiber, CEO of Well Balanced Accountants is this episode’s
featured guest. She is no stranger to the fears that come with
running your own business, with the desire to people please
everyone. In this episode, she speaks powerfully to the need for
self-development work, and the need to find people who can help
us avoid the same pitfalls and traps common in our
industry.
 
If you are struggling to determine your purpose, overpromising
and underdelivering, and failing to set healthy boundaries, this
is the episode to help you break the scarcity mindset so you can
create a bookkeeping business that delivers expertly on its
promises.
