Setting boundaries with clients: strategies to maintain healthy boundaries so you can focus on business development

In the events industry, it’s easy to let client demands take over your schedule. But without healthy boundaries, you risk burning out and neglecting the business development activities that will drive your growth.

Setting boundaries starts with clear communication. From the very beginning, let your clients know your working hours, response times, and what they can expect from you. This sets the tone for a professional relationship where your time is respected.

As your events business coach, I also recommend creating and sticking to a schedule that prioritises your business development tasks. Whether it’s setting aside time for marketing, networking, or strategic planning, these activities are crucial for long-term success. By managing your client interactions effectively, you’ll have the headspace to focus on growing your business.

Remember, boundaries aren’t about saying no to clients—they’re about saying yes to your business goals. When you maintain healthy boundaries, you’ll find that your clients respect your time and your business flourishes as a result.
