Followers. Likes. Sales. Email list.\n\nDid we actually leave the pressure cooker or did we just find ourselves a new one???\n\nWe talk about Anastasia’s transition out of professional tennis, studying neuroscience, experiencing burnout and ultimately deciding she wanted to build a career and business differently.\nAnd that has meant being willing to slow down enough to build the foundations properly.\nAnastasia joined The SOP Bootcamp, 4 Hour Work Day Foundation and 4 Hour Work Day Freedom, and we talk about what it ACTUALLY looks like to build a Time Rich business from the ground up, including doing some of the boring shit nobody puts on Instagram:\nGetting your finances organized. Sorting the legal stuff. Creating systems. Putting things in their little boxes.
