Boundaries.Me 2019 Year in Review Part 2
In the first part of our Year in Review, we took a look at the courses you loved the most. Click here to see Part 1 if you missed out earlier this week.
Today we're going to take a look at what we heard from you, the community of Boundaries.me subscribers. This site is created largely based on the input that you give us, and this year we made a big effort to listen to everything you had to say.

Listening is one of our values
We really love to hear from our customers. And not just the good stuff! Of course we love it when you tell us what you've gotten out of our content: how it's helped you through hard times or guided you to change that you've been working toward for a long time... but we also love the constructive feedback that people offer us.
Building a tool like Boundaries.me has come with a lot of challenges, and listening to our subscribers has been the most helpful input we have in terms of how we can make the experience the best that it can be.
We have some very big plans in place, thanks to your feedback, about how to do that. We want it to be easier to choose the content that would be most helpful for you, and we want that content to be easy to find. 2020 will see some big overhauls of the Boundaries.me experience.
Today we're going to share some of the information we gathered from your feedback. We found it illuminating and helpful throughout 2019, but especially so as we've made plans for the year ahead.
Thank you so much for your continued support. It keeps us going. We promise to keep listening!
WHAT WE HEARD FROM YOU IN 2019
How often do you use Boundaries.me?
You're watching videos pretty often
What you said: 22.5% of users use the site daily, 30.6% use it weekly, while a further 27% of people use the site a few times per month, 8.5% use it monthly and 11.4% use it less than once per month.
What we heard: We are very happy that we've created something that so many of you love to use so often, but one of the questions that it provoked for us was, how can we be even more useful, and more available to our subscribers? That's a question that we're going to address by creating new ways of interacting with the content on Boundaries.me
Future changes to the site will look at ways that we can extend the value of our content so that you can continue working on boundaries even when you don't have time to sit down and watch a course.
If you have suggestions about how you would like to see future updates, we're listening! Drop us a line at [email protected]
The Content & The Site
You really value what Henry has to say
What you said: We asked you to rate the content on a scale of 1-10. We were very relieved to discover that the average rating was a 9/10. We're going to work on getting that number up to a 10! We really want to be as helpful and as valuable as we can.
We also asked subscribers to rate the experience of using the site. You gave the site an 8 out of 10.
What we heard: We are very proud of our content, and we're so glad it resonates with you. What we want to do is make that content easier to use so that more people find it enjoyable to use the site.
As we have grown the library of content, it's become more comprehensive in terms of the depth and breadth that we're able to cover, but that has also created challenges in making that content easy to find. You'll be happy to know that a redesign of that process is already underway and that using the site is going to be a real joy when we're done tinkering. We can't wait to revisit this question next year and we're sure that we can get that number even higher!

"It has been very helpful for me and I am constantly learning. It has opened my eyes with codependency and how my responses effected my son’s addictions. I had a hard time giving consequences but finally did by setting boundaries . It was the hardest type of love a parent could ever do. I gave it all to God and also tried to start taking care of myself. I joined Celebrate Recovery and did the step study along with Boundries.me. It was the best investment and is well worth it!!! Now I have a relationship with my son and he is manning up and taking on adult responsibilities!!! Thank you for your website and all that you do! God Bless❤️"

"I love the growth I have seen in myself using boundaries.me. I utilize the site any time I am needing support to stay strong in an area I am struggling. I also read posts on the facebook group to help me gauge whether I am on track or not. And most of all Dr. Cloud's gift of integrating faith and psychology make so much sense and match my values."

"This has clarified a lot of the boundaries that I just didn't get in the book. I guess it was so foreign to set any boundaries that I could never set one. Since beginning to use this platform I have been able to get a better grasp on it and set a lot of boundaries. My life has changed because I have gained confidence and control of my life!"

What's Next?
Stay tuned for detailed info but we can drop a few hints...
We have big plans for Boundaries.me in 2020. We're going to make some big changes to the site, we're going to keep adding great content, and we're going to make that content even more useful for you.
As you may know, we offer the best deals of the year Black Friday, Cyber Monday and through the Christmas season. That will certainly be the case this year! We'll be offering a new way to subscribe that many of you have asked us for again and again.
We also asked our subscribers whether they thought the price of Boundaries.me was right. Many of you said that you might actually pay more! Well, thanks... but if you are a current subscriber, we will never raise the price on you.
The next dispatch of our Year in Review will focus not on this past year, but on what you can expect going forward.
Look for that in the next week.
Until then... THANK YOU!!!
