112 How Sara made €50K in sales in just 4 months 💸 after sorting out her contracts ✍️

In today’s episode I’m joined by my client Sara Vezenšek who came to me a few month ago sharing about the incredible momentum she had already created in her business.


She even proclaimed to the internet how she was planning to make 50,000 euros in just 4 months in her business.

What happened after she put those in place?

Let’s just say the energy shifted even more, the boundaries were in place and she’s called in some serious opportunities and clients that she shares more in the episode.

111 THIS 👀 could kill your email list overnight & how you avoid it

Email marketing is one of the most powerful sales tools for online business owners. 

And if you’ve been around the block of online business for a minute, you will have heard either me or one of your favourite sales coaches talk about how you cannot build your business only on social media. You need to know how to get your people off the socials and on to your email list. 

While social media can be a great place to catch attention and get connections to new potential customers, your email list and your email marketing is often one of the best and most powerful places to actually convert those potential customers into paying customers. 

But what many don’t realize is that there are strict requirements in place in the legislation that you as a business owner have to comply with to keep your email list legal and safe in the long term. 


This includes following the requirements set out by your chosen email service provider and it also includes making sure that you are collecting proper marketing consents on your free and paid opt-in pages before you start emailing your new subscribers. 

If your marketing consents aren’t compliant, you could literally risk losing your entire list overnight. Yikes. 

To help us break this down, I’ve brought in two experts, Brian Dixon from the US, and Kolja Strübing from Germany in the EU. Because even though I’m a lawyer myself operating my own online business, this is a very niche area that I am not at all qualified to speak about alone and because the rules are not the same everywhere.

Your calendar’s full of dreamy client calls ✅

But your contracts?


A dusty PDF you pulled from your mentor’s mastermind portal in 2021… or worse... nonexistent.

We’re covering:

👉 What contracts you need in place if you’re serving clients online across borders
👉 Why generic contract templates don’t work for your high-touch, premium offer suite
👉 How contracts build trust with potential clients and reflect your maturity as a brand
👉 How clear agreements save you time, energy, and sleepless nights as you onboard and serve clients


If your business is booming but your backend is still duct-taped together… this episode is for you.

Next Steps:

Book your Contract Power Hour today at EUR 111 and get my eyes on your business and offers today to determine what contracts you need to protect your business.

109 “Signed a 50K client 🤑” Sure… over 6 months, with 37+ hours/week. Did you mention that in your content too?

We’ve all seen the money win posts…


💸 “Just hit a 10K month!”
💸 “Signed a 50K client!”
💸 “My client hit 6 figures from one funnel!”


And while those posts can be true… If the context is left out, they can be both misleading and violating the marketing legislation in your country.


In this episode, I’m putting my lawyer hat on (ok, it never really comes off) to walk you through:

👉 Why income screenshots and bold money claims can be a violation of applicable marketing laws

👉 How these trends energetically break trust with your audience

👉What to do instead to build a brand that’s not just magnetic but also legally compliant


I don’t share this episode to shame anyone in the online business space. 

I share it because I want you to have the full picture when you consume content online. 

But also because I want you to keep this in mind when you market your offers and services online, so you can sell with integrity without opening your inbox to a letter from the marketing authorities. 


If your business coach ever told you to “share your Stripe screenshots” to build authority, this episode is for you. 


What You’ll Learn:

👉The legal risks you’re facing as a business owner when you share money wins in your content without context

👉Why “money wins” can harm your brand more than help it

👉My personal approach to content that builds trust (without ever sharing how much money I make)

👉What to say instead to stay compliant, aligned, and powerful in your messaging

107 Why writing “sign 3 new clients” in your pink planner as your Q3 goal doesn't work and what to focus on instead

In this episode, I’m breaking down why I spent 2 whole quarters refining my backend, rebuilding my funnels, and rewriting sales pages without obsessing over my monthly income.


If you’ve ever written “sign 3 clients” or “make 50k” at the top of your planner and felt instantly defeated halfway through the month because it didn’t happen… this episode is for you.

We’re talking:
👉 Why “sign 3 clients” is NOT a business strategy (and what to track instead)
👉 The difference between being busy and being productive
👉 How I went from short launches and no overview of where I was taking the business to a company that’s being built on a clean structure that can hold the pieces together for years to come. 
👉 The signs you’re moving as an employee in your business and how to shift into time rich CEO energy instead (and how you’ll know when you’re operating as one or the other).


This episode is a loving nudge to stop focusing on signing more clients and start maturing your company so clients will come in and stay for years - over and over again. 


Let’s clean it up and make it work long-term.


Next Steps:

THE TIME RICH CEO’S  QUARTERLY MAPPING RITUAL (Q3 EDITION) is happening on Wednesday June 25 at 01.00pm GMT+3 (Greek time).

106 You Don’t Need Another Guru in Your Ears (You Need You)

In this behind-the-scenes drop from my live workshop PAGES OF POWER, I’m sharing a practice that I’ve been working with over the last 2 months and now it’s your turn.

We’re talking about why recording meditations in your own voice is one of THE most powerful shifts you can make in your meditation practice and how it can help you build more self-trust and belief in your business. 

This isn’t about thinking happy thoughts or adding more “mindset work” to your to-do list.

This is about speaking directly to your nervous system in a voice it actually trusts: yours.

If you’ve been consuming random Youtube meditation but not quite feeling them land or make a difference in your practice... this is the missing piece.

What You’ll Hear Inside:

  • Why your voice signals safety to your system
  • Why meditations in your own words land deeper than any guru’s affirmations
  • How this one practice rewires your self-concept faster than journaling 3 things you’re grateful for ever could
  • Why specificity, memory, and repetition are the real magic behind belief work

This episode is a snippet from PAGES OF POWER, my brand-new workshop that’s now available to stream on demand.

You’ll learn how to turn your business wins and achievements into a beautiful meditation that tells the story of your own life and anchors your nervous system and your business growth in this present moment.

105 The VIP Day That Marked the End of My Cute Little Online Business Era

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m bringing you into the full debrief of my recent VIP day with my mentor Gabi Metz here in Athens, Greece.


A day that wasn’t just luxurious or strategic… it was a frequency shift that marked the end of the “cute little online business” version of me, and the beginning of something much bigger.

We talk about the identity shifts, the visibility wounds, the belief work that runs everything in our business (even when you have the “perfect” strategy).

This isn’t just a recap and story about how I had fun in Athens for 8 hours.

It’s a portal for you.

And if you’ve been building something that’s working but holding back in how big it gets to be?

This is the one you want to hear.


What You’ll Hear Inside:

  • The real reason I said no to this VIP day the first time (and why I finally said yes).
  • How belief work shows up in everything (pricing, offers, visibility, leadership)
  • The moment I stopped running my biz like a side project and started building like a legacy brand
  • A full BTS look at the experience (the strategy convos, rooftop cocktails, cold plunges, and diamond jeans 💎)
  • Why I didn’t crash after this experience (and how I’m holding this frequency as my new baseline)
  • 3 prompts to apply this energy to your own business this week


Next Steps:

My online live workshop PAGES OF POWER  is happening Friday May 30 2025 at 01.00pm GMT+3 (Greece time). This is a frequency upgrade for ambitious online entrepreneurs who’ve done “the work” but still feel behind. Join now at €33!

104 What they called “quitting law” was really the beginning of the life I actually wanted to live 💎

DOORS TO THE TIME RICH CEO AUDIO VAULT ARE OPEN AT €48! PRICE GOES UP SOON.

They called it quitting.


I call it coming home to myself, my energy, and the business model I was always meant to run.


In this raw and real episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my transition from law to full-time entrepreneurship. 


Not the highlight reel version with cinnamon cappuccinos and cats. 


The real version. 

The one with messy podcast episodes, failed launches, and long days wondering why my business felt like an uphill battle when it was meant to set me free. 


I share the exact moment I knew something had to change and how I slowly started creating a business that actually supports my nervous system, honors my time, and pays me well without draining my soul.

We talk digital detoxes, pasta lunches, midday breaks, and the power of designing a business that works with your body, not against it. 

This episode isn’t just my story. It’s a frequency shift for yours.

What You’ll Hear Inside:

  • The belief that carried me through the scariest pivots: “There has to be a better way.”
  • How simplifying my day and my offers actually made me more money
  • Why self-trust was the real strategy that changed everything
  • A breakdown of what aligned, sustainable business looks like and how to start creating it for yourself
  • The behind-the-scenes of building an online business on your terms without 10-hour days, pushy sales tactics, or burning it to the ground before you’ve even started. 


Next Steps:

Join THE TIME RICH CEO AUDIO VAULT and turn your big business vision into a clear, step-by-step action plan so you can hit your next income goal, create more time for what truly matters, and fall fully in love with your life while doing it. Currently €48 but the price goes up to €333 soon!

103 I Was Told Not to Build a Website 👅 So I Did It Anyway

What happens when you're told not to build a website... and then realize it's exactly what your business (and nervous system) has been craving?


In this episode, I’m sharing the full-circle story behind launching my new digital home and why it’s one of the most freeing, strategic moves I’ve made in my business in a long time..

After a much-needed social media detox, I started to really notice the cracks in my business: 

👉 The constant explaining

👉 The link chaos

👉 The pressure to always be “on.” 

So I finally built what I’d been avoiding for a long time: A grounded, centralized website that now represents my digital time rich universe.


We’ll dive into:

  • Why I resisted building a website for so long (even while scaling my business)
  • The exact moment I realized not having a website was actually costing me my time and clients
  • How my new website supports long-term strategy, client experience, and mental clarity

102 I took a 7-day social media detox 💁‍♀️ Here’s why and what happened

In this episode, I’m sharing what came up during my social media detox, how it impacted my productivity & presence, and what I’ll never go back to. 


If you feel a little more glued to your phone than you really want to be... this one's for you.

I’m pulling back the curtain on why I decided to unplug (even though things were going well) and what it revealed about how I’d been running my business (and my nervous system).

I’ll touch on why doing less is sometimes the boldest strategy of them all, how social media was quietly draining my creativity, what boundaries I’m now putting in place for long-term energy, presence & sales and the simple gratitude practice that keeps me grounded AF (that I will be sharing with you soon - if you’re inside 4 Hour Work Day Foundation that is!)

If you're building a business that’s meant to support your life (not consume it), this is your permission slip to do things differently.

Next Steps:

Join us inside The 4 Hour Work Day Foundation and learn how to attract dreamy clients on repeat while cutting your working hours in half


Join us inside 4 Hour Work Day Freedom and become the TIME RICH CEO of your soon-to-be empire where you work less and earn more and your success doesn't come at the cost of your energy, well-being or the life you left your 9-5 to create.

101 How Anouk cut her work days from 12+ hours to 5 hours with Time Rich daily rituals 🕰💸

In this episode, I chat with my client (and my investment coach!),  Anouk Knuffmann, about the exact shifts that helped her cut her workday down from 12+ hours to an average of 5 hours a day while stacking consistent income in her business. 

We dive into how she’s implemented daily sustainable habits into her routine and how creating more space in her schedule and mind helped her reclaim time for herself, her daughter and her partner while almost selling out her group program teaching women how to invest their money through the auto-millionaire method.  

This episode is a beautiful description of what it actually feels like to finally stop overworking.

If you’re craving structure, space, and a schedule that actually supports your life, this is the episode for you.
