Holding boundaries with clients is tricky, especially if you already struggle with boundaries in your personal life. Setting boundaries early on with clients sets a clear expectation and prevents you from feeling resentment or disliking your business.  And even if you have never set boundaries, or let a few slide, it is NEVER too late to renegotiate your client relationships. Join Elizabeth Cook and me as we discuss how boundaries can help protect and preserve your client relationships. What I love about this inner work, is that when you improve how you handle boundaries in your business relationships, you get confidence to do the same in your personal relationships and vice versa! This is one area I especially love to coach clients through. Having a mentor that encourages you to hold boundaries with your clients, team and others can give you the confidence you need to move through uncomfortable situations.   There are now 3 ways we can work together: ​1:1 Coaching (🌟new) - open to any level and type of business  ​Six Figures Lab Group Coaching - open to consultants, marketers and financial professionals averaging $3K to $10K/month ​​​CEOCHIX Mastermind Program - open to consultants, marketers and financial professionals averaging $10K to $70K/month   ⭐️ Connect with Natalie on LinkedIn

  • If you are a consultant, marketer or financial professional seeking to build an enduring business, one that is enjoyable, profitable and sustainable, then you are in the right place.

  • I'm your host, Natalie Ekdal, and my zone of genius is coaching women business owners from multi five figures in annual revenue to multi six figures in annual revenue.

  • Our clients seek to build stability through a retainer business or high ticket project business.

  • And our six figures lab group coaching program supports them in raising prices, setting boundaries and positioning their business into the optimal space in the marketplace.

  • Like you, I have a lot on my plate as a wife, mom of three, caregiver, volunteer and business owner.

  • May I encourage you to get as much help as you can afford at home and in your business?

  • And remember, just because you can do something does not mean that you should do your clients make requests outside of your original agreement?

  • Are they calling or texting or messaging you outside of normal business hours and even on the weekends?

  • Maybe you're starting to resent certain clients and possibly starting to hate your business.

  • Guess what?

  • There is a way out of feeling like this.

  • Boundaries with clients.

  • Are you ready to discuss this today?

  • Elizabeth?

  • I'm ready.

  • Natalie.

  • This is something that's been coming up actually a lot recently in our six figures lab group coaching program, and it's honestly something that I have helped clients with since I started coaching, and I thought it would be really interesting to explore having boundaries in business and having boundaries with clients.

  • Would you start us off by giving us a definition of what a boundary is?

  • Yes.

  • So the standard definition is a line where one thing ends and another thing begins.
