For many entrepreneurs, working 24/7 is often the order of the day; after all, that business isn’t going to build itself, right? But poor boundaries can lead to increased stress, a poor work-life balance, and ultimately burnout.

Establish Your Priorities

Your priorities and values play a large role in establishing boundaries needed to reach entrepreneurial success.  Whether your priorities are family-based, financially-driven, or a combination of both, you have the benefit of creating a life that allows you to live out the priorities you establish.

Set Your Goals

If you’ve taken very many trips around the sun, you’ve likely heard the benefit of setting goals by now. It’s not new information. But within the context of being an entrepreneur, setting goals based on your priorities moves you one step closer to success.

Develop a System

Within the context of setting and keeping boundaries, you’ll want to develop a system that helps ensure you are keeping your priorities and reaching your goals. One great way to do that is by establishing a routine check-in with your calendar from the week before. This allows you to assess how well you scheduled your days and what steps you need to take to pull things back into alignment with your priorities.
