Boundaries are one of those topics that can make you feel confident, grounded, and empowered OR make you feel uncomfortable and queasy.
Boundaries are one of the key ingredients to success + healthy relationships throughout your life. How well you set your boundaries will determine the quality of your life and it will wildy affect your mental health.
Failing to set boundaries is NOT your clients fault.
Failing to set boundaries is NOT your family’s fault.
Failing to set boundaries is NOT your friend’s fault.
Guess who’s fault it is…. Ding Ding Ding… YOURS.
Failing to set boundaries creates resentment, miscommunication, and defensiveness. If you feel some type of way about a situation, listen. Feel it.
ahhh boundaries
Boundaries are an essential part of the behind the scenes work at Parker Marketing and Management.
In business, boundaries are setting communication, project, timeline, & deliverable expectations up front with clients.
Set office hours, communication avenues, and the addition of a ‘Client Welcome Guide’ have not only enhanced my client experience but given me the piece of mind to know my clients are well taken care of.

Set your goals and create a priority list. What do you need to accomplish by the end of Quarter One to stay on track for your yearly goal? Break those goals down into daily actions and habits. Then time block and schedule accordingly.
Schedule in your rest and stay true to yourself (+ your priority list). If it’s not a priority, skip the dinner. There will always be another one.
Setting boundaries takes discipline and practice. Sure it may be hard to stick to your boundaries, but not as it is to let people run over you.
People need to be told how to treat you and there is no better advocate for yourself than YOU. Step into your power. Own your boundaries and set them. It may feel uncomfortable or awkward. Your voice may shake. But stand up and do it anyway.
