Welcome back to another episode of Business Builders. In this episode we’re diving into one of the most important — and often most overlooked — parts of being a CEO: boundaries. Whether it’s with clients, your team, or even yourself, clear boundaries aren’t cold… they’re kind. They protect your time, energy, and focus so you can lead with clarity, not resentment.
Key topics covered:
- Why most entrepreneurs wait until they’re burnt out to set boundaries (and how to change that).
- The 3 key types of boundaries every leader needs: time, access, and emotional.
- Practical scripts for saying “no” without guilt — while still being supportive.
- How to coach your team to think independently instead of relying on you 24/7.
- Simple “homework” to help you set one new boundary this week and stick to it.
Clear boundaries don’t make you selfish — they make you strategic. Tune in to learn how to create a business that works for you, not against you.
Challenge
Choose one boundary to set this week — pick a specific spot where your time, energy, or access is being drained. Start small and stick with it — don’t try to overhaul everything at once. Communicate it — tell a friend, colleague, or Staci (via DM) about the boundary so they can help you stay accountable. Revisit regularly — check in on that boundary and adjust if it’s slipping.
