Description
What if the constraint you've been fighting is actually the thing that could set your business free?
In this episode, Jamie sits down with Yasmin Vorajee (business strategist, coach, author, and founder of Tiny Time Big Results) for a conversation about building a business that actually fits your life, not the other way around. Yasmin runs her business in just four hours a day from rural Ireland, where she lives with her husband (an Irish farmer) and their three children. And far from being a limitation, those four hours have become the foundation of everything she teaches.
This one is warm, honest, and full of the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from someone who has genuinely lived it.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ How being made redundant in 2012 — in a small Irish town with no equivalent local roles — became the accidental beginning of a 14-year business journey Yasmin wouldn't trade for anything
✨ Why Tiny Time Big Results was born not from strategy but from necessity, and how a coach helped Yasmin see that her ability to get things done in tiny pockets of time was actually her superpower
✨ The real problem with the "if I can do it, you can do it" line, and why Yasmin believes it often does more harm than good
✨ Why chasing money from a place of fear and insecurity leads to short-term decisions that keep you stuck, and what to ask yourself instead
✨ How Yasmin wrote her book in a single month — 42,000 words, two hours every morning before her three young children woke up, and why one of her early readers became a private client who covered the entire cost of production
✨ The tension between content creation and actually running a business, and why Yasmin believes in building assets that sell for you rather than being available on every platform all the time
✨ Why she qualified as a hypnotherapist mid-career, what following her curiosity has done for her business, and what the next evolution of Tiny Time Big Results might look like
✨ What she tells her kids about carving their own path, and how marrying outside her faith 17 years ago set the tone for a family culture built around choice, not default
