Boundaries Help Your Business Mindset
Written by Tammy Durden
How does retaining boundaries help your business mindset? That is what I want to address in today’s articles. Let’s look at boundaries by definition and why it helps your business mindset.
Defining Boundaries
As you know, I love definitions. I think it’s important to know the terms we are discussing and their meaning(s) so that we have a starting point to discuss this subject. In this case, it is “Personal Boundaries”.
“Personal boundaries are the limits and rules we set for ourselves within relationships. A person with healthy boundaries can say “no” to others when they want to, but they are also comfortable opening themselves up to intimacy and close relationships.”
I think Berkley University defines this perfectly. Even better is the resource from which the definition comes. In it, it discusses three types of personal boundaries including rigid, porous, and healthy boundaries. The resource lists the characteristics of all three under the corresponding type.
Why We Need Boundaries for Our Business and Mindset
We need boundaries in our business just as we do in our personal lives.
