Setting boundaries as a writer

This is incredibly important at all stages! [The Writer’ s Life]( February 6, 2023 "Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you." — Katie Reed Happy Monday, {NAME}! As a freelance writer, you ARE your business. You wear all the hats … marketing director, writer, research coordinator, proofreader, accounting manager, and more. And while it's great to be in control … It also means you need to take care of "all those people" (i.e., you!) … which isn't easy to do when you're trying to build and maintain a writing business. Balancing everything can be a challenge, and we all tend to put ourselves last on the list … taking a fast path to burnout, health issues, and stress. But it doesn't have to be that way! Because living the writer's life is about freedom and enjoying your best life. So today in our [Monday Morning Jumpstart](, Ted and Jade talk about the importance of creating boundaries in order to take care of yourself. By taking care of yourself and finding people who support, respect, and uphold your boundaries, you will become a happier, healthier, and more successful you.
