Here's a simple first step towards having more freedom as a business owner

I used to reply to client emails at midnight…

I thought being available 24/7 made me a great business owner.

📧 A client messaged late? I replied immediately.

📧 Someone needed “just one quick thing” on the weekend? Of course, I’d do it.

📧 A question came in while I was out with family? I’d sneak away to answer it.

I thought I was being helpful. But in reality, I was training my clients to expect me to be “always on.”

The moment I set clear email boundaries, everything changed:

✅ My clients respected my time (and theirs) MORE, not less.

✅ My inbox became manageable instead of stressful.

✅ I finally had the work-life balance I started my business for in the first place.

Now, I check email twice a day, and I use pre-written templates for common replies to save hours each week.
