Now, how do you balance not burning out with doing face to face sessions plus online coaching? And the answer is super simple. You need to set boundaries and expectations with your clients that you're not going to respond 24 7. You do get to have some time off just like everyone else, and they need to understand that it's not an instant response. Now, of course you do want to say that you do get the support when required. However, you need to set a boundary to say, look, any messages that come through, it's going to take up to 24 hours to get back to you just to make sure that you're not going to burn yourself out. So super simple. If you want to avoid burnout, set boundaries and set expectations with your clients and stick to them. Follow for more value.
