In today’s episode, we are diving into how to set up boundaries, and what specific boundaries you need, as a service provider. I am so excited to be talking about this with you because boundaries are my jam. Before we go any further, this episode plays directly off of episode 19, where we talk about people pleasing. So if you missed that one, I definitely recommend going back and having a listen.

During the month of February I’m breaking down the three massive mistakes that all service providers make. In episode 18, we talked about the first mistake: Pricing your services incorrectly. This also included access to an exclusive freebie, my client capacity calculator, that helps you figure out how many clients you need at what price point in order to hit your monthly goal. Trust me, you do not want to miss it. Grab your client capacity calculator now!

In today’s episode, we’re specifically covering:

• What are boundaries?

• General business boundaries
  • Work hours
