Set Boundaries and Protect Your Time

“You've got to protect your own time because you’re not going to get it back,” says host Eric Portwood. After missing out on too many opportunities to spend time with his son, Eric realized that he needed to make a change. In today’s episode, Eric discusses the importance of setting boundaries and giving your time to what matters most. 

According to Eric, it is important we protect our time because it is the only asset we can’t get back. In order to effectively do this,  Eric explains that we need to set boundaries and say no to things that don’t help us progress towards our goals. By holding ourselves accountable and being realistic with ourselves, it will become easier to reprioritize our lives in positive ways. After all, when we protect our time we protect ourselves. 

Tune into this week’s episode of Armed & Dadly to learn how to set effective boundaries, so you can dedicate more time to being the best husband, father, and entrepreneur you can be.
