A few weeks ago I was hit with a twinge of hustling. I hadn't felt that hustling feeling in a LONG time. I've worked hard, but hustling feels completely different for me.

As a business owner, hustling has an undercurrent of urgency, proving, and even a bit of desperation.

In my corporate career, hustling felt more like being overwhelmed with the number of things I had to do - and feeling like I couldn't let any of it go.

Can you set boundaries and still be seen as a team player and high performer? YES.

In fact, I've seen time and time again that if you set and communicate boundaries clearly, people are most often fine with it.

Even more interesting....I've seen MANY example of people being seen as a HIGHER performer after they set boundaries because they have the time and energy to focus on what's most important - and those are the things that often get recognized and rewarded!
