Many of the founders that I work with struggle with boundaries, with self-care, with delegation.
And I have to explain to them why something that looks selfish can actually be the best thing they can possibly do for themselves, their families, and their business.
Take one healthy habit as an example—
When you get enough sleep, you make better decisions.
When you get enough sleep, you are more likely to exercise.
When you get enough sleep, you don’t crave bad food.
When you get enough sleep, you are nicer.
When you get enough sleep, you live longer.
Taking care of yourself means you have more to give—more creativity, more presence, even more love. And it also means you are more able to receive.
You started this business because there was something about it you loved.
Does it look more like hate, or fear, or exasperation some days?
Time to look at your own habits and see how they might be contributing. How simply getting out of overwhelm can make everyone, and everything, look more like it did when you started this.
Creating and holding those boundaries is good for everyone.
