Boundaries give us the freedom to feel in charge of our lives. They also help keep us from being taken advantage of or feeling overwhelmed by other people’s needs or demands on our time.
The problem is that many people struggle with setting clear boundaries because they don’t know how – or are too afraid – to enforce them. But building a successful business means setting boundaries and training others to support you with those boundaries.
- How to get the support of your family.
- Why boundaries mean more time with those you love.
Boundaries give us the freedom to feel in charge of our lives.

– TRANSCRIPT –
[00:00:00] David Wood: Because it’s a bit ridiculous to ask your brain to be focused 24 7. That’s a bit too much, and it’s a bit much. Yeah. And it’s a bit much to expect your family’s going to be okay with you working 24 7 and not having access to you. So set it up. Book your sprints in your calendar.
[00:00:19] David Wood: All right. Nine to 11 weekdays. Maybe four til seven on a Saturday afternoon, you work it out. What’s going to be your focus time and then enroll your family in that. Hey, I noticed, so I want to do better. I want to do better in business. I want to do better at the job. I want to do better in life. And one of the things I want to try is, is some focused attention.
[00:00:42] David Wood: So I can really work on something without any distractions and then really be with you all. When I’m with you, we really fully present and not thinking about work. So to set that up by here’s what I want to try. When I’m doing what I call a sprint, I’ll put a sign on the door. I’ll put a time on it and I’ll set an alarm.
[00:01:05] David Wood: When the alarm goes off, I’m going to come out and get to hug everybody say hello, play with the dog. Yeah. So set it up and then you’ll need to train them, you know, if they forget lovingly, train them and maybe give them a reward.
[00:01:18] David Wood: If there’s not a fire or blood involved, please here is how you can support me. And then you train them.
