Years ago, I read the book Boundaries, and it made a huge impact on me.
Now before anyone says, “That’s easy for you to say,” let me be clear…
I am probably one of the most available REALTORS® you’ll find in DFW.
My clients know I answer my phone. I answer texts. I work weekends, evenings, early mornings, and sometimes late nights. Real estate doesn’t always happen between 9 and 5, and neither do I.
The same was true when I owned my health and wellness clinic. I was incredibly available to my patients because serving people has always been important to me.
But here’s what I’ve learned after 13 years of being self-employed:
Being available and having boundaries are not opposites.
Healthy boundaries don’t mean you’re unavailable.
They mean you’re intentional.
They mean protecting your marriage, your family, your health, your faith, and your peace so that you can continue showing up at a high level for the people who depend on you.
I can work around a client’s schedule. I can handle emergencies. I can jump in when needed. But I also know that if I never draw a line, eventually I won’t be the best version of myself for anyone.
The truth is, boundaries haven’t hurt my success—they’ve helped create it.
I’ve built businesses, raised a family, maintained a strong marriage, and served thousands of people over the years. Healthy boundaries have played a role in every bit of that.
To my fellow REALTORS®, entrepreneurs, and self-employed friends: don’t confuse boundaries with a lack of commitment. Some of the most successful people I know have the healthiest boundaries.
You can be incredibly available and still protect what matters most.
