Ever said "yes" to a client project that led to burnout and derailed your own business goals? In this candid episode, I share my personal story of a "costly yes" that proved even the best business systems are useless without strong boundaries. Learn how to protect your capacity, avoid overwhelm, and build truly streamlined operations as an online coach, service provider, or growing CEO.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- How a single client project can lead to burnout and a flopped launch.
- Why established business systems (SOPs, workflows) fail without enforced boundaries.
- 3 Key Lessons: Guarding your 'yes,' making boundaries your lifeline, and not sacrificing your business foundation for client fires.
- An actionable step to pause and assess capacity before committing.
- Strategies for burnout recovery and maintaining sustainable productivity.
Actionable Tip: Before saying 'yes,' PAUSE. Ask: "Do I realistically have capacity for this?" Get comfortable saying, "Let me check and get back to you."
