We also have Flip Your Life member, Paul Cameron, sharing what happens when you take immediate action and how it leads you to success. Paul's post says: "My podcast just aired today, S&J suggested that I completely rework my home page at speedupmyjobsearch.com, make it less text-y, change my get started button from blue to red, remove the ads, simplify everything and use the testimonials more strategically - so I did. I haven't had a new member in 2 months, but last Wednesday I made all the changes they suggested, then Thursday I got a new monthly member on my $19 plan, Friday I got a quarterly coaching member at $297 and Sunday I got a new full monthly member at $49 - all out of the blue! None of them had seen me speak before, none are in my autoresponder, they were just my website visitors. To top it off, I started a 2nd membership site a couple weeks ago because the 1st one had been struggling so much, it's no where near done yet, but yesterday, someone just joined that one for $100. That's $450 in one week from websites! Very cool."

Success Story of the Week: Today's success story comes from Valerie. This is not actually a success story in terms of making progress for my business, but my husband and I have decided to follow in Shane and Jocelyn's footsteps, and downsize into our version of a Freedom Home. We're going from a large two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with an office to a one-bedroom, one bath apartment with no office. I'll be giving up an extra bathroom, and my beloved little office. Deep breath. But we will be saving about $500 a month, and it is in a quieter location with a pretty view, and trees and a private access to a lake and trails. I'm having a little anxiety, about moving into a much little space, and especially giving up my my office/work space/introverts getaway-- But I know we have to make sacrifices now to have what is really important to us later. Now, we just have to be sure we make the most of it. That is an awesome story, Valerie. We are so glad that you shared that in the community,

Need ideas on efficient content batching strategies? Listen in as we help today's guest grow her parenting membership site through batching content. We have a returning guest member on call with us this week, one of our most active members in the Flip Your Life community, Karen Lock Kolp. Karen is our resident expert in child development. She has a master's degree in Early Childhood Education and years worth of experience in understanding how kids work. Her expertise makes her an invaluable resource for those who have found themselves embarking this wonderful adventure we call, "parenthood." She helps teach struggling parents how to handle their child's milestones and challenges in ways that are both insightful and fulfilling - basically, the life hack of how to be a ninja parent. Loaded with tons of content and blessed with thousands of listeners, she recently launched her membership community and has reached her first 3 members. Her community is still in its fledgling phase, so we're going to dive right in and discuss the best "next step" strategies to push her online business towards the right direction.
