Usually, when we think of lacking boundaries, we think of weakness.

But some people lack boundaries despite being strong and assertive.

That's because it's not enough to know how to set boundaries.

First, you need to know what yours are in the first place.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed.

It doesn't happen as often.

But what's interesting is that it's almost never about the big stuff.

Instead, it's all the small, annoying, boring, mind-numbing tasks.

One might think "Why don't you deleg…

Does branding really do anything for you a small business owner?

Shouldn't you focus on marketing and sales?

You know, the thing we all know gets you real results like calls booked, clients, etc.?

I heard this perspective a couple of times.

I knew I wasn't gonna make a point with a comment. Hence this motherlov…

The practical way to transcend your current avatar.

At this point, you already know self-image makes or breaks behavior.

And I'm sure you already know about affirmations, "act as if" and all that stuff.

So why are you struggling to change?

Why is it that you don't stick long enough to your affirmations and "act as if-ness"?

You always start with enthusiasm.

You even make a routine of some sort.

But nothing sticks.

You always end up dropping them and going back to old habits.

Why…

If you're a visionary, you probably believe that you are good at dreaming, but not so great at executing.

That's a total lie.

Without them, social media 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 suck you in.

Unless you set boundaries that protect:
