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. Continue to claim the dream that God has given you!
