Solopreneur Myth - Boundaries and Availability

10/21/2019

This week's Solopreneur Myth gets you thinking about your boundaries around time and availability. The challenge for the solopreneur is to find the balance between being available, and also having time to do the work, and keep at your prime in terms of renewal and energy.

Many newer coaches feel that it's important to always be available. Discernment in this area can help you protect time for strategic thinking and action needed in your business, networking, and keeping yourself at peak performance.

Questions to consider:

What times of day are you "at your best" for doing different types of work - think coaching calls, setting up new business, marketing, relationship building etc.
What items are not getting done? What time do they need for completion? Ideally, when could they be completed?
What are you doing to renew and/or keep at your prime? This might involve building in time for physical activity, renewal etc.
What are you doing to not only "do the work" with your business, but move the business forward? This is one of the greatest challenges for business owners at all stages of their business. Business inflection points occur regularly throughout the entire life cycle of a business.
What space are you leaving for other important parts of your life - i.e. family, relationships, etc?

While saying YES can be important, so can saying NO.

What are the boundaries you want to create to enhance your focus, traction and results?

Enjoy the reflection,
Jennifer
