613: Mindset Matters - Money & The Beliefs that are erasing your profits one thought at a time - Part 3

Boundaries are back!   We addressed the topic of boundaries recently on the podcast.   Here we’re taking a deeper dive. Because boundaries are important, y’all.    Get into the weeds in my latest podcast episode, A Balancing Act with Coach Cat and Peter.    In Episode 615, Coach Cat and Coach Peter consider acknowledging and articulating your boundaries and recognizing cues that they’ve been crossed. Learn to foster a culture that embodies your boundaries and helps keep your life in balance.   Details of the discussion:  Learn Your Limits: Boundaries are critical for healthy relationships. Get introspective to get to know yours. Tune In: Know the signs that your boundaries have been crossed. Are you overwhelmed, resentful or indecisive?  Get Comfortable with Confrontation: When a boundary is broken, address it immediately to promote understanding.   Honor Your Time: Every studio owner breaks the boundary of time. Set up SOPs and org charts so you’re not on call 24/7. Communicate Your Culture: More than just some values hanging up somewhere, your code of honor should be alive and evident.   Take home bonus tips as well in Episode 615: practice explaining your boundaries, listen to your gut instincts, get good at saying no, delegate more and prioritize your wellbeing.   Catch you there,   Lise   PS: Join 2,000+ studio owners who’ve decided to take control of their studio business and build their freedom empire.

Boundaries can get a bad rap.   Like they’re selfish. Or prohibitive.   But really, they're freeing.    And fundamental.    In my latest podcast episode, Mindset Matters: Building Boundaries Without Guilt, Coach Heather walks us through why boundaries matter, how to set them and how to hold them.   In Episode 611, you’ll get 10 tips on establishing and enforcing boundaries. They’re your practical playbook. More of what we’ll explore:  Classification Counts: Boundaries come in different types? Discover how healthy boundaries trump rigid and porous ones.  Self-care Strategy: Manage stress, reduce overwhelm, seek balance and avoid burnout by outlining your limits.  Assumptions Banished: Set specific expectations and improve communication with your team. Resistance Ready: Boundaries often mean change. Change is hard. Expect some pushback. Guilt Begone: You’re not doing anything wrong, so don’t apologize. Boundaries aren’t about controlling others. A lack of boundaries means a lack of structure and order.
