FL 207 – Being an Introvert and an Entrepreneur Jul 01, 2018

Show notes

You're not broken because you're an introvert... ...a lot of successful people are introverts, we're just a little bit quieter about it." In today's episode, Jocelyn talks about some of the challenges of being an introvert and an entrepreneur and how to overcome them. Flip Your Life Community member Trista sent in this question: I'm very interested to hear strategies for overcoming my introversion. I'm a teacher, and that trade has been one of my toughest challenges to overcome. At the end of the day, between interacting with hundreds of teens and standing before an audience, I've always felt so exhausted and stressed. This 10th year I opted to teaching virtually, and now I'm even more out of practice from speaking publicly." Jocelyn provides some great insight on this question, as well as debunking some myths about introversion like: All introverts are shy Introverts don't like people Introverts can't be front and center in an online business Jocelyn also talks about the importance of personality tests, and mentions a free online personality test called Personality Max that she took, where she openly shares her test results that you can check out here: Jocelyn's Personality Max™ Report Join us today to have a better understanding of introversion -- the myths, the truths, the nature of an introvert -- and how introverts can be successful entrepreneurs as well.

FL 205 – Lead Magents + Opt-ins + Hotdogs? (Q&A w/ S&J) Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

Hey Y'all, welcome to another Flipped Lifestyle Podcast Q&A w/ S&J! In the Flip Your Life Community, we hold a members-only Q&A twice a month where we answer online business questions of our members live on air! This podcast episode features some of the highlights of these recent live member Q&As to give you a glimpse of how we help the members of our community, and help you as well in online business by listening in. Grill the hotdogs!" - Shane This is an actual online business advice for one of today's featured questions. Listen in and find out why it's important. Today's Q&A highlights answer the following questions: "I wanted to ask your opinion about my lead magnets. I came up with three lead magnets and plan to choose one from the list below and record the training video or write an ebook. Which one do you like better? I feel option 1 and 2 provide a lot of value even for a paid content.1. Questions to ask during the first three dates to see if you could be a good match to find your dream husband in short time. 2. Ice breakers and questions to ask during the first date to find your dream husband in short time. 3. Tips on clearing your mind and lifting your spirit to find your dream husband in short time. - Svetlana "I have a question about my lead magnet and opt-in sequence. Currently, the lead magnet is a set of 6 short science videos about one topic, which would be equivalent to one lesson plan. I'm wondering if six videos is too much information for them to process in the first email. Should I give them just the first video as the lead magnet, and then divide the rest into two follow-up emails? Also, for the WOW bonus, they're getting 4 sets of video lessons (4 topics; each has 6 short videos). Should I give away this much? Or change it to one set of video lessons about one topic (which would be 6 short videos)?" - Jennifer "Please help me figure out how to start! I really want to teach parents how to use audio books and read alouds to make parenting easier and why how books trump technology. I want to teach them how using the right books can help make parenting easier because of bonding, character building, and getting to tackle important issues with their child through fiction. Is this even a good idea? I am struggling with the pain point and if people are searching for a solution. I am thinking the symptoms are disconnection, feeling too busy, feeling like you are failing as a parent, using screens to keep kids busy, etc. Can you help me get see a direction to go with this?" - Danae "My question today is about free Facebook content and lead magnets. I do understand the aspirin and vitamin analogy but I'm still struggling with what to giveaway in social media, and lead magnets, what to give away in e-mail and what to hold for paying customers only for my particular industry. I get more diet related questions from people than anything, yet the workouts/personal training are what I consider the core of my memberships." - Carla You can also watch this episode on our YouTube channel: FL 205 Lead Magents + Opt ins + Hotdogs?

Can't Miss Moment: Today's Can't Miss Moment is welcoming our amazing new Flip Your Life moderators!

We still do comment on a lot of them, but we knew that it was time to start bringing in some help. One of the things that we do is we look for people who are especially active in the community, and also regularly posting success stories, and we appoint them to be moderators of the community. There are many benefits to being a moderator. One benefit is that we have a private Facebook group for moderators only. Another benefit is that we do a quarterly success call or a quarterly Q&A with moderators only,

FL 202 – True Job Security + Dealing with NO SHOWS Jun 23, 2018

Show notes

Your job is NOT safe. Do you ever think "What would I do if I lost my job?" You should. You could lose it at any time. Let me explain why, and show you a better, safer way to earn a living. Most people think that you just need to get a good job, and you can live happily ever after. It is super risky to get employed by just one person and have everything on the palm of their hands, you don't have real control of your life. Work for yourself Give yourself the power to succeed or fail. The only people we could count on are ourselves. True security and safety starts with learning how to do this with the right knowledge, support, and tools. We have a great advantage living in this age because we have the Internet. There will always be people who want to give you money online, out of the 4 billion people with access to the internet. We can help you do that. Have you experienced someone not showing up for a scheduled appointment? As an online entrepreneur, your time might be very limited and valuable, but the reality is things are not always going to work out as you want them to. In this video, Shane shares an important mindset and attitude to have when someone pulls off a NO SHOW on you. SHOW GRACE Have grace and empathy, everybody's time is finite and valuable Sooner or later it could happen to you Don't think that your time is much more valuable than anyone else's time REDEMPTION Always offer people a chance of redemption We all make mistakes You're going to need a second chance too someday "Do unto others what you want them to do to you" MOVE ON QUICKLY Have a "Rain Plan" – always plan what to do in case the person does not show up and your appointment does not push through Don't wait around Do something productive instead Don't let other people disrupt you Don't let circumstances ruin your whole day HAVE PERSPECTIVE Don't be driven by ego Respect other people's situations You can also watch this episode on our YouTube channel: FL 202 - Your Job is Not Safe + Dealing with NO SHOWS Thanks again for listening to the show!

Transcript: Jocelyn: Hey, y'all! Welcome to the 200th episode of the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. Shane: Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. We're a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online. And now, we help other families do the same. Are you ready to flip your life? Alright. Let's get started. Shane: What's going, everybody? Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. It is great as always to be with you again this week, and we are so happy to be celebrating our 200th episode. That's right! This is episode 200 of the Flipped Lifestyle podcast with Shane and Jocelyn, and by far, this is the biggest, most audacious, craziest thing we've ever done on the show. Jocelyn: And that's saying something because we've done some really weird stuff over the past six years. Shane: We've done some weird and crazy things, and we are confident that this is going to be one of the biggest and awesomest things we've ever done. We have three huge announcements that are not only going to change everything that we're doing professionally in our business life, but they are going to change everything for you and your family, too. Jocelyn: Some of you may be wondering why on earth we titled the 200th episode, "Goodbye." Are we stopping the podcast? No, we're not stopping the podcast, but we are saying goodbye to some other things in our life, in our business. Shane: So don't worry, we're sticking around. We're going to keep coming to you every single week and helping you flip your life with online business. And just like we're sticking around, we want you to stick around for this entire episode. You're going to want to listen to every single minute because as we say goodbye to the past, you may be saying hello to your future. So sit back, relax, you may want to take some notes because this is going to be an awesome ride for the 200th episode of the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. Jocelyn: Alright, before we reveal what it is we're saying goodbye to, we're going to talk a little bit about our last 200 episodes. It's been a wild ride! We started out as two people from Kentucky, just behind some microphones, and here we are 200 episodes later, which is pretty cool. Shane: And it's always good, whenever you're making huge changes to your life or to your business, to kind of take a breath and sit back and look back at where you've been because that's always the foundation of where you're going. So for those of you who may be new to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, or maybe you've been listening for a while, but you weren't with us since the beginning, our story starts back in 2012 when we were school teachers. Jocelyn: We were like many of you. We went to work. We came home. And for all intents and purposes, we were happy enough. Shane: And then one day we found out our son, Isaac, was being mistreated at his daycare center and I asked for the day off to go deal with this situation. My boss was extremely cruel to me, told me that I could handle it after work and basically said,

FL 199 – We help Oleg create his first online product Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever just looked at your to-do list sometimes and say, "Alright, there are so many things to do, but my gut instinct is telling me that these 2 things are really important right now. So..." Has this ever happened to you? Life gets pretty crazy sometimes and you can find yourself juggling too many things, too fast, all at once, next thing you know you're so overwhelmed and stuck right where you are! The good news is you have the option to do something about being stuck, and this is why you'll find great insight and inspiration in today's guest, Oleg Leontovych. Oleg is one of our International Flip Your Life members, and he's here to ask his next level questions to flip his online business to the next level. A quick look into Oleg's online business journey… Oleg is originally from Ukraine, but had moved to Canada and served the I.T. industry for 18 years where he focused on software quality assurance. He has changed employers in several industries, survived 3 layoffs, and eventually gotten so frustrated with the job itself due to the overwhelming fear that they can let him go despite his position. He has been reading into online business, getting himself acquainted with things like passive income and learning how to start his own business since 2013, but lacked the motivation to pursue it any further. This all changed in September 2017, when he decided to go all-in on creating a stable, passive income online after getting laid off. Now, he calls the shots and has made up his mind to finally pursue something he is really passionate in: gardening and teaching others how to enjoy the literal fruits (and vegetables) of their labor! But something is still missing from his equation, and that's where we step in. Join us as we help Oleg refocus and work on his first paid product to give him the momentum he needs to grow his online business! P.S. Stick around and tune in, don't miss out on all the amazing tips we'll share with this week's guest! You Will Learn: Best way to overcome the common fear every entrepreneur has to face How your calendar will help you prioritize and let you take that next step "Comparison" Syndrome and why you should avoid it Language barriers and why your voice is unique The power of creating consistent, quality content Plus so much more!

Success Story of the Week: Today's Success Story from our Flip Your Life community is from Cynthia, and Cynthia's post says, "I quit my day job." Now, listen, when we log in, and we see one of these, "Quit my day jobs, I flipped my life, everything has changed, not only in my life but my kids' life, my kids' kids' lives, everything going forward," that's when we take a big deep breath and are like, "Wow, man, that is unbelievable!"

FL 198 – We help Julie reframe her avatar and create strategic content to grow her online business Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

Today's guest is Flip Your Life community member, Julie Halitzka. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Julie loves singing and plays a number of musical instruments. She has worked with youth in various roles as a worship leader, play & music teacher, and youth counselor for over 10 years. She decided to take her business online to change and improve their current financial circumstances. Julie created an early childhood music curriculum (for children ages 0-6) called Rockin' Rhythms Music. After starting her website, she had the original intent of marketing this curriculum to teachers. This proved to be a bit of an adjustment from her job as a music teacher, where she is mainly marketing to parents. Not having a well-established email list yet, Julie struggles with the question what a lot of online entrepreneurs have with their digital product -- "Will people buy this?" -- and the fear of not finding the right people to sell to. Join us today as we help Julie reframe her avatar, grow and build her email list. We also help her with improving content strategies for better efficiency, prioritizing and time management when "life gets in the way", as well as accountability. [Tweet "Live video is much better when you've already filtered out your audience."] [Tweet "Create static content based on what people are actually looking for."] [Tweet "Just because people are not on your list does not mean those people don't exist, they're out there somewhere."] You Will Learn: The importance of knowing the potential scope of your digital product to be targeting the right avatar How to create content more efficiently Overcoming the overwhelm of time management when life gets in the way Creating content based on Keyword Research Content strategies to build and grow your email list Plus so much more!

Success Story of the Week: Alright guys, we got a cool success story this week from a Flip Your Life community member named Elle, and Elle posted in our success for them this week and said, "I finished my course." Her actual post title says, "Champagne Moment." Elle says, "It's so great to log in and see so many of you doing well." She's talking about our Success Forum. "Typically when I'm working on a major project, I go into hiding. Well, I'm out of the cave, and I wanted to share my champagne moment with you. For the past six months, I had been planning, creating and building my membership site. Today, I finished the course that is a huge selling point in my membership site. The course consists of five modules with three to five lessons in each module. What a relief and an accomplishment. Along with a major course, I filmed videos for a video library, created and designed worksheets, and I've recruited four influencers to be interviewed as guests on a recorded Q&A for members. My launch date is coming up soon. I have 20 people signed up for Beta memberships at a discounted rate." Elle's website: http://www.thenurseconsultantnetwork.com Man, that is an awesome success story that not only has she pre-sold and got all these members and Beta people signed up, but she's done with her course. That's a huge load off your back when you create something that's evergreen that you can sell for years.
