The 3 most prominent areas hnwi’s lack boundaries

Often there is so much focus on wealth creation, making millions, but no one talks about what to do or how to deal with that level of money. Or how to handle people treating you differently because all they see is dollar signs.

No one talks about the non financial challenges of wealth especially if you are a first generation wealth creator… aka NEW MONEY.

So I’ll talk about it.

Boundaries are something that every human needs to learn how to create and set in their own lives. It’s not about controlling people or keeping people out of your life.

Boundaries are a way to teach people how to win with you and cultivate a healthy relationship with all people/things involved.

That being said, here are the top three areas I’ve seen HNWI’s and first generation wealth creators struggle with setting boundaries:

👉🏽Work- This one can be especially difficult due to the fact the building your business is typically what helped you create wealth in the first place.

You can be hyper vigilant about your career/work/business that everything else come second including yourself.

Your career has become so omnipresent that you have allowed private life to be lived through only little nuggets of happiness.

Putting boundaries in your work life can often feel like you are putting a cap on your livelihood and success financially. But that is not the truth.

You can have unlimited levels of success in your business and have a thriving personal life when you are willing to set boundaries in both.

👉🏽Family and friends- Newfound wealth can make you the go to problem solver and ATM for your family and friends. Seemingly money can solve every problem, especially your money. And you are no longer looked at as a person but now a superhuman financial commodity.

It can feel very de-humanizing.

You’re expected to do everything, pay for everything, and help everyone with everything.

When did your wants, needs, desires become irrelevant?

When did they become so entitled?

Setting proper boundaries with family and friends can help to create supportive long lasting relationships that are enjoyable for all.

👉🏽Dating life-

If you are single and/or divorced but also wealthy, it’s easy to become a target. This is true for both men and women. Because no matter how attractive you are, your money and status can overshadow that.

Being able to have a rich and fulfilling dating life without having to worry about another person’s motives for getting to know you can be very difficult if you haven’t set boundaries in advance.

You absolutely can have and deserve to find companionship and love that’s not based solely on your financial status.

Boundary setting can be difficult, especially in the beginning, but it’s something that’s of high service to you and those who are in your world.

You can expect feelings of guilt, shame and anxiety to come up. But don’t allow your feelings to dictate your actions.

You can live beautiful wealthy life if and only if you are willing to let go of what others want for your life and become an advocate for designing and living the life of YOUR dreams.

Boundaries will help you do that 🤍
