How to Set Boundaries in Your Life As An Entrepreneur
In this episode, Alex & Pooh sit down to discuss work life balance, something that they both have to work hard at to achieve and maintain. For example, Pooh, who has two young kids, is really struggling right now with getting the balance right. He explains why that is and the steps he is taking to solve this problem.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most entrepreneurs find it hard to switch off. Particularly in the early days when they are still establishing their business.
- You have to make time for yourself. If you don´t you will burn out, then your family,
personal life and business will suffer. - Personal freedom is one of the main reasons people build a business, don´t lose
sight of that vision and let your business shackle you. - No matter how organised you are, unexpected things crop up that you cannot ignore or wait until later to address, particularly when you have children.
- Set aside blocks of time to focus and be highly productive e.g. Pooh does this
between 10am and 14.00 while his kids are at school. - Try getting up early to work instead of working late. Most people find this approach more energising.
- Invest in yourself by outsourcing as much as you can, including in your personal life e.g. Hire a gardener. But make sure you use the time you save productively.
Share tasks with your partner. - Throughout the day ask yourself - is what I am doing now (or planning to do) helping me to achieve one of my goals?
- Set boundaries and learn to say no more often.
- Be disciplined. Set personal boundaries, e.g. limiting screen time.
Hobbies are great, but make sure they do not swallow up too much time.
Plan your day the night before. - Don´t avoid the hard things. Tackle them first, especially the vital tasks. Not doing
your accounts can lead to cashflow issues.
BEST MOMENTS
“Is it all just work, grind and hustle without really knowing their final destination or having a clear vision in mind?”
“Here's the truth. So, for me, I think work life balance doesn´t exist at this point in time.”
“If its your business, you will always think about it, no matter what .”
“But outside of everything ... theres also gotta be that time that you find for yourself.”
“We need to be able to set boundaries, even with ourselves,”
