Boundaries for Entrepreneurs
Episode description
I had a conversation the other day with an entrepreneur who is also a friend, and we were discussing how being an entrepreneur bleeds into every area of your life - including spending time with your children. For parents, there's guilt usually around how much time is dedicated to the business and missing out on the limited time we have until children are out of the house. We want to be there for the sports, the plays, the dentist appointments, for drop off and pick up, to hear about their day, to spend time after school with them helping with homework or friends, the list goes on. What commonly happens though is that entrepreneurs are there, but not - it's the client calls in the middle of homework, the texts all through dinner, the computer being in the living room while watching movies.. it's like entrepreneurs never "clock out". This leaves children feeling like parents are always busy with the business, always distracted and parents feeling guilty, wishing they weren't so busy, and guilty for not being present.
In this episode, learn how to create boundaries around your work life, your clients, your business so you can be present for relationships with your children. That time is sacred, learn how to protect it with a schedule you follow. It's like anything else in life that can't be rescheduled - time with your children needs to be that important. I'll share a few tips from my own life as an entrepreneur as well as the countless owners/CEOS/founders I've worked with over 15 years. If you find yourself saying, "well that works for most, but I'm too busy" - buckle up, that's a huge excuse and false belief! You can choose something different. I'll talk to you how to do just that.
