Ep 178 - The Boundaries we set in our cake businesses

This week we're back with an apology for being absent, and a great chat about Boundaries. Boundaries are like picket fences we put up to protect ourselves in our businesses. We have both been in business a long time and have made mistakes by not having boundaries, or not enforcing them. We now have clear and firm boundaries and in this episode we chat through them and explain what they are and why we have them.
