How To Save Your Sanity In Business

Do you have boundaries in your business? Are they the white space between you and your sanity?

I used to think that if I did the right thing by others, they would do the same by me.

I was wrong! Oh boy, I was wrong…

I want to tell you this story. It’s not really about criticising the woman that called me, it’s more a lesson in the importance of boundaries.

About 5 years ago at 9.30 pm  a bookkeeping client called me on my mobile phone. Now, I get it, when things don’t go right you want to get them fixed ASAP. However, I was a bookkeeper. What emergency could I possibly solve at 9.30 at night?

I didn’t answer the phone. Reasonable? I thought so.

Then she called again.

Then she called my office phone and left a message letting me know that she knew I could hear her because she had heard my answering machine before! I gave in and spoke to her. Turns out it wasn’t really an emergency, it was a query on how to finish up something in her software.

I fired a client that night!

In today’s video find out how creating boundaries in your business will enable you to keep your sanity.
