In this sixth episode of My Kind of Business, Alex is talking all about boundaries — something that so many business owners struggle with, especially when it comes to saying no.
She explores what boundaries actually look like in business, how to get more comfortable with saying no (without feeling guilty), and why it’s such a powerful step in protecting your time, energy and growth.
