113 How I navigated a chemical pregnancy + first trimester sickness while running my online business 🤢❤️‍🩹

❤️‍🩹 TRIGGER WARNING ❤️‍🩹 In this episode, I talk about pregnancy loss and early pregnancy. Please take care of yourself while listening wherever you are on this journey or however you relate to it. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story I wasn’t sure I’d tell. During the second half of 2025, I navigated a chemical pregnancy, followed shortly after by the early months of a new pregnancy all while trying to keep my business running, support my clients, and run a few new creative projects. Spoiler: I had to let go of most of it. And that’s okay. This is an honest reflection on what it looked like to show up (and sometimes not show up) during one of the most vulnerable and physically intense seasons I’ve ever been through. I talk about: 👉What a chemical pregnancy is, how it hit me, and why it’s so often minimized 👉What it felt like to hold space for others while grieving behind the scenes 👉The whiplash of going from pregnancy loss into first trimester symptoms: fatigue, nausea, brain fog, and big emotions 👉How I redefined my relationship with content, productivity, and online business norms 👉What actually helped me feel better (and what didn’t) I also share how my 4-hour workday system became the ultimate safety net… Why I let my visibility take a backseat for two months… And how I’m slowly reshaping what business looks like for me from here. This episode is for you if you're: 👉Going through something heavy while holding or building a business 👉Navigating loss, fatigue, or emotional overwhelm behind the scenes 👉Wondering if it's okay to “disappear” for a while (short answer: yes) 👉Craving a business model that holds you, not just the other way around Next Steps: Download your FREE 4 Hour Work Day Starter Pack Inside you’ll find the exact tools to stack consistent sales while working fewer hours a day and creating more white space in your calendar.

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. I watched from the sidelines as Sara ticked off one big goal after the other but eventually she realized that there was one missing piece of the puzzle to make those dreams of 50k in 4 months feel really good…. *drum roll* You guessed it… solid and clear contracts. 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. We’re breaking down her journey from operating without contracts (or with contract templates that didn’t fit her business) to confidently signing aligned, high-paying clients with structures that support her, protect her, and match the business she’s building. 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.

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.

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 Next Steps: Join us inside The 4 Hour Work Day Foundation and learn how to save HOURS every week with a system that creates 4 hour work days, eliminates stress and helps you sign 3x more clients without sacrificing your daily workouts, 8 hours of sleep or time with family and friends.
