My answer may be simple and short, but it’s certainly not an easy thing to do. To create boundaries first you must decide what you’re willing to accept for your life. You’ve got to evaluate the way you’re spending your time to see if you’ve been able to embrace all of what makes you you. Because you are so much more than your business. You are an entire being – an entire person. With needs, wants, and desires. Design the life you want to be living, and then go after it. If someone can’t appreciate what you are willing to give, then they aren’t aligned for you. And they may be holding you back from the bigger paycheck, the work that sets you on fire, and feeling truly fulfilled with what you do.

It’s your time and it’s your life. You are so worth it. And they aren’t. c’est la vie

One of the most powerful stories I’ve ever heard was from Tony Robbins. I believe it was in his book, Awaken the Power Within, but I don’t completely remember. So don’t quote me. Anyhoo, he was in his first life coaching class and he was about a lesson or two in, and got super antsy towards the end of class. He asked how he could start practicing this right now with a client. Apparently, his classmates looked at him as if he had lost his marbles – they were confused as to why he would want to go out and use these methods when he hadn’t even finished the course yet. Even with the skepticism and negative feedback, he went out and did it anyway. He got clients and treated them pretty immediately. And what he showed them changed their lives. The results from that were exponential – on both sides.

I’m sharing this with you because you can absolutely start practicing before you “finish.” You don’t have to be perfect to be of service. And in fact, trying to be perfect will only hold you back from your true potential – from the magic that you’re living today. Whatever you’ve already learned in your curve is enough to move forward with right now. Keep learning and keep rolling with it, but just don’t hold yourself back from doing what you want. Go out there and go for it.

And let it be easy. If it’s not accessible, wait. The answers will come when you’re ready.

I’m going to challenge you, here. Because I’m thinking you maybe actually don’t have a true list of the things you want to change in your business. It might be just rolling around in your brain. If that’s true, no worries! I’m going to walk you through how to find that first step. And it’s crazy easy.

1. Get yourself a pen and paper and write them all down – every project, every area of improvement. Scribble it and do this as fast as possible so you don’t overthink it.
2. Go through that list and see if you can categorize them. ie, branding, social media, passive income, etc. Get clear on which to-dos affect each other.
3. Create a new list, or perhaps several – either one list for everything or different lists for the various categories. Then prioritize them. Think about not only how these projects affect each other, but also what will be the biggest win for you right out the gate. What will take the most amount of time and the shortest. Put all of these into consideration and choose from there.

Now, if you start tackling this list and it turns out you need to move things around – no big deal! That’s totally fair, and honestly – pretty likely. Tune into what thing will have the greatest impact and keep rolling from there. You got this – Honorary Scouts Honor. ????

P.S. Also – if you’re feeling stressed, take a break! Whether it’s a few deep breaths or the rest of the day. It’ll all become so much clearer and easier if you give yourself some love. Especially if you’re a G/MG.
