• I am not be your problem-solver.

Mutual Boundaries / Setting Expectations

Note – there are no right or wrong answers – but think about these things

• Is there a time limit to this relationship?
• Is this relationship based on hitting a goal?  What is that goal?  What is the time frame?
• Tell me what you need – I cannot read your mind.
• What do the meetings look like?  In person or over the phone or web conference.  (Length of meeting varies.)
• Are there other expectations on your part?
• Moxie is here for your benefit – if Moxie is no longer adding value then it’s time for us both to move on.

Your responsibility

• Be honest / tell me the truth – not what you want me to hear.
• Keep this a judgment free zone = you’re in charge of your own future.
• Be consistent / don’t cancel our appointments.
• Be kind to yourself.
• Work hard.  Don’t make excuses.
• Don’t give up.
• Speak up.  If you’re done with the business relationship, say the word – no hard feelings.
• If you feel you have gleaned what you need from the business relationship, then it’s time for you to add value to somebody else.
