You Didn’t Quit the 9–5 to Work 24/7
Let me guess…
You started this business for freedom. Flexibility. More time for family, travel, rest - you name it.
🤔 So why does it suddenly feel like you’ve created a job with longer hours, no holidays, and zero HR support?
You’re not the only one, but you do have permission to change it.
💡 You’re Allowed to Set the Rules
One of the biggest mindset shifts I help clients make is this:
You’re the boss. That means the rules are yours to set.
If you don’t want to work weekends, you don’t have to.
If you want to take every Friday off, you can.
If answering DMs at 9pm makes your skin crawl, stop doing it.
Here’s what that can look like:
🔒 Protecting your days off - and actually logging off
📅 Creating a client schedule that fits your life, not just theirs
🛑 Not answering DMs at all hours - your time matters
🤝 Saying “no” to work that drains your energy or doesn’t align
These aren’t luxuries, they’re boundaries. And they’re what make your business sustainable long-term.
Boundaries Aren’t Selfish: They’re Strategic 💪
When you protect your peace, your clients get the best version of you.
You stay creative. Energised. Focused.
And most importantly, you enjoy your business again.
Organised wishes
