Holding boundaries with clients is tricky, especially if you already struggle with boundaries in your personal life. Setting boundaries early on with clients sets a clear expectation and prevents you from feeling resentment or disliking your business.  And even if you have never set boundaries, or let a few slide, it is NEVER too late to renegotiate your client relationships. Join Elizabeth Cook and me as we discuss how boundaries can help protect and preserve your client relationships. What I love about this inner work, is that when you improve how you handle boundaries in your business relationships, you get confidence to do the same in your personal relationships and vice versa! This is one area I especially love to coach clients through. Having a mentor that encourages you to hold boundaries with your clients, team and others can give you the confidence you need to move through uncomfortable situations.   There are now 3 ways we can work together: ​1:1 Coaching (🌟new) - open to any level and type of business  ​Six Figures Lab Group Coaching - open to consultants, marketers and financial professionals averaging $3K to $10K/month ​​​CEOCHIX Mastermind Program - open to consultants, marketers and financial professionals averaging $10K to $70K/month   ⭐️ Connect with Natalie on LinkedIn
