If you’re a millionaire or billionaire homeowner – if you have household management staff – here’s what no one will tell you: you have a superhero in your home.

They aren’t your family. But they aren’t your servant, either.

They are human. They have needs, but they’re there to serve you.

And, yes, they receive a paycheck. But no one talks about your STAFF being born with a gift of service – or what we call a “service heart.” Used wisely and supported fully, this person can make your home and life easier and more fulfilling.

What if you gave your staff enough information to implement your request right the first time? Wouldn’t everyone be happier, with less effort and less expense?

What if you outlined expectations, communicated frequently, and empowered your staff to work autonomously?

What would it look like if you respected their time off? Isn’t it in your best interest for your staff to avoid burnout?

So, what’s the dirty word in Private Service? BOUNDARIES.

No healthy relationship is sustainable long-term without them. These take much work to implement, especially in an existing relationship.

But, set up the right way, you can enable nothing short of magic.

When boundaries are not created and enforced, your staff will feel controlled over time and become resentful. Do you want to pay someone who might feel this way to work inside your home? I wouldn’t.

In closing, here are some brief but highly effective tips to honor the obligatory “Yes” that you’ll hear from your staff while serving you and your family:

1. Allow them your time to confirm your expectations.

2. Honor their “No.”

3. Empower them with the autonomy to make decisions on your behalf.

4. Allow them to spend money within a limited budget to implement your requests.

5. Protect their time off.

Finally, ask yourself: Isn’t this relationship based on the above reasonable parameters worth your investment – including time spent establishing and getting staff buy-in for appropriate boundaries?

Thanks for listening.
