135: From Anxiety to Action - How to Stop Letting Fear Control Your Life! Oct 02, 2024

Hey y’all! In this episode, I’m breaking down how the stories we tell ourselves can stop us dead in our tracks. I’m sharing a personal story about taking my daughter, Anna Jo, to get her ears pierced and how her excitement quickly turned into anxiety. The way she battled that fear reminded me so much of the struggles we face as entrepreneurs—letting our fears and negative thoughts hold us back from the things we want the most.

I also get into some of my own battles with fear, like the time I had to give a big presentation in front of seasoned speakers and how the stories in my head almost made me back out. Spoiler alert: when we take action, it’s rarely as bad as we imagine!

What You’ll Learn:

Why the fears in your head are almost always worse than reality.
How breaking down your fear into small steps can help you move forward.
Why action is the cure to fear.
How reflecting on past successes can give you the courage to keep going.

Key Moments:

Anna Jo’s Ear Piercing Adventure: What started as excitement turned into full-on anxiety for my daughter. Her fear of pain, regret, and everything in between almost kept her from reaching her goal. Sound familiar? I talk through how this relates to your journey as an entrepreneur.
My Fear of Speaking: I open up about the time I was almost too scared to give a big presentation in front of professional speakers. How did I get through it? I did it afraid, and guess what? The reality was way better than the stories in my head.
Three Simple Tips to Overcome Fear:
- Acknowledge the Fear: It’s okay to feel it—just don’t let it control you.
- Break it Down: Focus on taking one small step at a time.
- Reflect on Success: Look back on times when things worked out and use that as fuel.

Quotes from the Show:

"The fears in our head are almost always worse than the reality."
"Action cures fear. The more you do, the more confident you get."
"When we just take the first step, we realize the story in our head wasn’t true."

Take Action: I want you to think about what fears or stories are holding you back right now. Then, break it down and take that first step. I promise you, once you get moving, things won’t seem so scary.

I’m thrilled to be joined by my good friend Austin Netzley. Austin is an incredible entrepreneur and the founder of 2X, a company that helps business owners systemize and scale their operations. We dive into the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, share some impactful stories, and explore how personal growth and mental health play crucial roles in our journeys.

Episode Highlights:

Austin’s Entrepreneurial Journey:
- Austin opens up about his transition from a corporate engineering career to entrepreneurship. He started with day trading and went on to build several successful businesses.
- One of the most compelling parts of his story is the 18-month sabbatical he took to travel the world after burning out from his first business. I can relate to this because I also needed to step back after running my seminar company for four years. Sometimes, a break can be just what you need to gain clarity and renew your passion.
The Challenges of Scaling:
- We discuss the chaos that often comes with scaling a business. Austin shares his experiences with his third business, a book marketing agency, and the common fears entrepreneurs face when scaling up, especially around hiring and reinvesting.
- We both agree that hitting a wall at certain income levels is common due to fear of the unknown. It’s crucial to align your business goals with your personal aspirations, whether that means expanding your team or keeping things manageable as a solopreneur.
Random Stepping Stones & Personal Clarity:
- Austin and I chat about the idea of "random stepping stones"—those early ventures that might seem like detours but end up leading you to where you need to go.
- We emphasize the importance of personal and business goal alignment. It’s easy to get caught up in following someone else’s path, but staying true to your own vision is key.
The Power of Coaching:
- I share my experiences with coaching programs—both the highs and the lows. Finding the right coach who offers actionable guidance and accountability is essential.
- Austin’s approach to coaching stands out because of his focus on personalized advice and balancing growth with operational excellence. His insights on this topic are incredibly valuable.
Mental Health & Personal Growth:
- Our conversation takes a deep dive into mental health and its impact on every aspect of our lives. I open up about my experiences with psychedelic therapy, which has been transformative in addressing deep-seated issues.
- Austin and I discuss our initial skepticism and how exploring plant medicine has led to profound personal growth. We highlight the importance of undergoing this kind of work in a supportive environment with experienced guides.

Key Takeaways:

Embrace the entrepreneurial journey with openness to detours and personal growth.
Align your business strategies with your personal goals to avoid hitting a wall.
Seek personalized coaching that offers practical guidance and support.
Prioritize mental health and consider transformative practices like psychedelic therapy for significant personal development.

117: 5 Things To Do Before Your First Speaking Gig Apr 03, 2024

In today's show, we're diving into valuable insights shared by Shane Sams on public speaking and professional speaking gigs. Shane, an experienced speaker, offers five key tips for anyone gearing up for their first speaking engagement.

Arrive a Day Early: Shane emphasizes the importance of arriving at the speaking venue a day before the event. This allows speakers to familiarize themselves with the space, acclimate to the environment, and ensure they're well-rested for the big day. Shane shares personal anecdotes from his years of experience, highlighting the benefits of this approach.

Avoid Over-Rehearsing: While preparation is crucial, Shane advises against over-rehearsing. Instead of repeatedly reciting the entire speech, he suggests recording the talk, listening to it multiple times, and focusing on getting into the flow of the content. This method helps speakers avoid stressing out, preserve their voice, and maintain spontaneity during the actual presentation.

Plan Post-Talk Activities: One insightful tip Shane offers is to plan enjoyable activities after the speaking engagement. Whether it's exploring the city, having dinner with friends, or visiting local landmarks, having something to look forward to post-talk helps speakers relax and prevents them from obsessing over the presentation.

Manage Caffeine Intake: Shane discusses the impact of caffeine on nerves and advises speakers to limit their coffee intake on the day of the talk. By controlling caffeine consumption and allowing ample time before speaking, speakers can present themselves calmer and more composed on stage.

Arrive Early to the Venue: Lastly, Shane stresses the importance of arriving early at the speaking venue. Getting there ahead of time allows speakers to familiarize themselves with the space, visualize the audience, and mentally prepare for the presentation. Additionally, he shares a bonus tip about not putting on the speaking outfit until right before going on stage to avoid sweating.

By following these five tips, speakers can enhance their performance, manage pre-talk nerves, and deliver impactful presentations. Shane's insights, drawn from years of speaking experience, provide valuable guidance for anyone stepping into the world of public speaking.

106: How to Work Less and Make More w/ James Schramko! May 26, 2022

With online business, you can build the life that you want! You can set your own hours, work from wherever you want, and make six or even seven figures in the process! James Schramko will show us how!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The 3 pillars of an online membership
How memberships are like a supermarket
How to work less and make more

James Schramko is one of my own personal membership mentors. In this interview we discuss the makings of a multi-million dollar membership site, using affiliate marketing to make more membership sales, free trials, and how to make content areas your members will love.

In James’ words, the idea of a membership is you want to be paid by a lot of people instead of one person.

It is totally possible to be like James and have 6-figure months, every single month. he has found that memberships are by far the most stable business model!

We have had people say, ‘oh, don’t you want to know you have a stable job rather than worrying about this online stuff?” No! Here’s why:

The most stable job in America is a teacher with tenure. We saw an issue with this first hand. We had tenure, but voters in the school district we were in voted to consolidate the high school, which reset tenure so that they could hire and fire however they wanted, to have less people.

There is literally no better security than doing it yourself. And, leading dozens or hundreds of people every month. In essence, no longer relying on the lies being told by society about job security.

All it takes is one employer not handling finances properly for you to lose a job, when you rely on other people. Anywhere you want to pull statistics from, the majority of businesses fail.

In a normal job, you have a single point of failure, which is something we want to avoid at all costs!

Joe had been living in the launch-to-launch course model for quite a while. We sat down at a coffee shop one day to figure out how to add recurring revenue to his website.

His results were amazing! People were becoming more productive and he, in turn, was getting a lot of positive testimonials. Every week the momentum kept building. All Joe had to do was set a time and show up for his audience. It helped to hold his members accountable!

What started as a one time per week meeting has turned into 3 days a week and 6 different time slots. It has become something his members look forward to. So much so, that he hired 2 other people to help him host.

Today’s guest on The Shane Sams Show is Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne’s! Anne has an amazing story that you’re not going to want to miss.

Anne was born and raised in an Amish community in Pennsylvania, where she learned an incredible work ethic. She started baking in large quantities at 11 years old to help her family. Years later, she met and married her husband, Jonas, and they were living a happily married life with their children until a tragic event changed their lives forever.

Jonas and Anne’s peaceful life as newlyweds and young parents went into a tailspin after the death of their 19-month-old daughter, Angela Joy, who died tragically in a farming accident in 1975. Anne, in her mid-20s at the time, found herself descending into a world of darkness and depression, and eventually on the brink of suicide. Despite being a faithful churchgoer, she didn’t feel she could share her pain with friends or family members. She became silent and lost her voice.

After that, Anne’s husband became a counselor, but he wanted to do it for free, so Anne needed to start working. This is where Auntie Anne’s was born!

092: 5 Lessons I Learned From My Life-Threatening Illness Feb 17, 2022

Here are some of my early thoughts reflecting on my life threatening experience...

1) Health is wealth

2) Family and community are everything.

3) Thank God for the flexibility of online business

4) God has a mission for us all, and every day you wake up, he's saying "I'm not done with you yet. Get to work."

5) There is no tomorrow.

Only today.

When you are faced with the real possibility of no tomorrow, you realize how precious today really is.

I was healthy one day, then not the next. That fast.

I was attacking life, and then I was fighting for my life.

If the sun is shining, if you are awake and reading this email...

Then you have TODAY!

Today is the day the Lord has made... let us REJOICE and be glad in it y'all!

Procrastination has no place in our life anymore. I declare war on "tomorrow" and claim "TODAY" as the day of my salvation, my action, my chance... the day of action, the day of effort, the day of stop putting things off, the day of checking off the boxes and getting stuff DONE...

And you should too...

Your life can change in an instant (mine did), and unfortunately, it doesn't always have a happy ending or a second chance or a clear bill of health at the end of the story...

You may not have tomorrow to chase your dream...

Or call that loved one...

Or to start your online business...

You only have TODAY.

Did YOU see the Sunrise?

What does that mean?

It means God gave you another day...

Don't waste it...

No more "tomorrows"

Get out there...

Take action...

And do whatever it takes to Flip Your Life.

A special thank you to everyone out there who prayed for me and my family, left us a messages on social media, or sent us cards and emails while I was sick.

You helped us through the storm, and we will never forget the love you sent our way in a hard time. We love you, and are so grateful for you, and will use this gift of life and time to serve you and your family!

We would love to have you as a member of The Flipped Lifestyle Community! We believe you have God-given talents and experiences you can use to start an online business!

Today’s guest on The Shane Sams Show is Dan Miller, author of the New York Times best-selling 48 Days To The Work (And Life) You Love!

This is an awesome conversation about thinking outside the box as an entrepreneur. Dan likes to do unconventional things in his business, like sending 48 peppermints with every order to his customers–really anything to stand out and further his brand!

Many of our most loyal customers and fans are podcast listeners, and they tend to stick around the longest in our memberships.

We also talk about how our mindsets change when we do work that we love. We’re no longer looking forward to retirement; we love the game!

090: The Membership Economy Changed Our Lives! Feb 03, 2022

Today’s guest on The Shane Sams Show is Robbie Baxter, author of The Membership Economy–a book which predicted the rise of subscription services like Netflix and was literally our membership bible for growing our first membership site into a million dollar membership!

Jocelyn and I went to a conference in the Philippines, hosted by Chris Ducker, called Tropical Think Tank. We went just to get around other entrepreneurs and see what they were doing. We were sitting at a table with James Schramko and I started telling him about what were selling, that it was going well, but that it was also very high-energy. He flat out told us it was a membership, all we needed to do was sell it once and have people pay you forever. He told us to read The Membership Economy by Robbie Kellman Baxter on our way home.

So, of course, I read the whole thing on our way back to the Philippines. And, read it all in one sitting. I knew when we closed the book that we had to do what this book said, as soon as possible.

And, then in June of 2015, as soon as we got home, we implemented the membership model into each and every one of our four businesses.

Within 30 days of opening our membership, we had over 1,000 members, paying an average of $49 to $99 a month, and it’s been that way ever since. Now, we’ve helped over 3,000 people do the same thing in the last 5 years.

All of that literally came from us reading The Membership Economy by Robbie Kellman Baxter.

In today’s episode we dive deep into when and where you should use free trials, pricing your membership, and we discuss her new book, The Forever Transaction. We are going to talk about all things memberships with the person who literally wrote the book on the membership model.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

What the Membership Economy is all about

The difference in headline benefits and engagement benefits

Why the free trial can help or hurt you

Why friction is key to attracting quality members

The Forever Transaction

How to evolve your offerings

How to engage and retain your members

089: Online Courses and Memberships w/ Amy Porterfield! Jan 27, 2022

I am pumped because today we have an amazing guest on the show - Amy Porterfield! Amy Porterfield is one of the best podcasters and entrepreneurs anywhere online. She has built an incredible business that generates millions of dollars every single year! Part of her strategy? The membership model in her Momentum Membership!

Amy says she has a customer journey product line inside her business with 3 products:

1) List Builders Society

2) How to Create a Digital Course

3) Membership Program

Momentum Membership is Amy’s back-end membership. She created it because she felt 12 weeks wasn’t enough in order to create your course and launch it again! She ultimately wanted to “stay in the trenches” to continue to train and troubleshoot with her members!

Amy’s membership is based on 3 things: community, accountability, and training!

We also discuss self-doubt. Coming out from behind the stage (after working for Tony Robbins), putting herself out there was terrifying. She often thought, “who am I to be doing this?”

The fear she had and the imposter syndrome was all in her head - Amy keeps her mindset in check every single week!

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

How Amy Porterfield grew her membership community into a million dollar membership (during a pandemic)!

The importance of list-building!

How you can use webinars to grow a membership site of your own.

How to use Facebook to grow your business!

What Amy does to stop self-doubt!

088: How To Build an 8-Figure Business w/ Brooke Castillo! Jan 20, 2022

Today’s guest on the Shane Sams Show is Brooke Castillo of The Life Coach School! Brooke has one of the most successful membership sites and businesses you will ever hear!

Get this: Brooke’s business is on-pace to make $35,000,000 this year! It’s ALL done through monthly memberships!

Brooke started out with a podcast (The Life Coach School Podcast) and a lot of launch products - no membership.

One of the things she wanted to do was simplify her business with two main products.

She wanted:

A membership for clients that wanted to get coached (on anxiety, for drinking, weight loss).

Her certifications for those who wanted to become a life coach.

Creating a way to get coached in an affordable way meant memberships were the way to go!

Brooke truly understands not to devalue yourself. She stacked up TONS of money into developing herself and her skillset.

That means members paying $297/month is NOT too high of a price!

When you create that much value, members could never spend enough to get the value out of it.

In Brooke’s membership, she wanted her members to feel like they have exclusive access to her. That is why she didn’t let the members talk to each other! In doing so, the relationship felt more like they were just having it with her on a more personal level.

The Life Coach School started because of Brooke’s personal experiences with ending her suffering around emotional eating.

When she decided to become a life coach her experiences (God-given talents of experiences) lead her to fix a problem she knew was out there and that she knew the answers to!

You can’t go into business just to make money. You have to have an offer and a desire to help others!

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

How Brooke discovered the membership model (through the Flipped Lifestyle Community)!

The pivotal moment Brooke decided to use the membership model for her online business.

How to run high-priced memberships.

Why it’s important to get your pricing right for audience.

The marketing, tactics, all the things that took Brooke from 1,000 members and took it to the next level.

How you can implement Brooke’s strategies to make a 8-figure membership site!

SPI Pro rolled out of the gates with hundreds of applicants and members, and is already an amazing success story in Pat’s portfolio.

In today’s episode Pat and I are going to go deep into his strategy for starting, building, and launching a successful membership community. We are going to talk about using an application process for your membership to create and control the culture of your community. We are also covering how to tie a monthly recurring membership site with your existing course, coaching, or affiliate business.

Brian had a lot of success at a young age, working his way up the corporate ladder, but then he realized that his passion was really in coaching, so he started doing consulting.

Brian and his business partner had an upcoming conference, so they decided to write the book, and it became a New York Times bestseller.

On this episode, Shane Sams and Brian talk about the practicality of the 12 week year, and the problems that people come across when setting annual goals.
