Click here to leave us an iTunes review and subscribe to the show! We may read yours on the air! Can't Miss Moments: Today's Can't Miss Moment is getting our new puppy, Coco. My family always laugh at me because Bandit, of course, was our "free" dog. He has now cost us probably thousands of dollars. He went from just hanging out around our house like you could see his bones, and he is now receiving a BarkBox subscription every single month. We didn't want him to be lonely. Shane thought it would be a good idea to get Coco, and Coco is actually a purebred chocolate lab, and we got her from a breeder in town. She has been just the most adorable thing ever. My reason for this being a Can't Miss Moment is not only is she adorable and our kids love her - it is like the joy of their life right now - but also because dogs are expensive. I don't know if we could have afforded dogs before. We have spent so much money on vets and doctors and dog houses, and kennels and cages and toys. I'm not exactly sure if we could have even gotten those, especially a bred dog like this that cost a few hundred dollars ourself. You can connect with S&J on social media too!

Need ideas on growing your sales funnel using Facebook Live? Listen in as we help today's guest take her online business to the next level with available strategic tools like Facebook Live. On this week's episode, we have returning guest and super active Flip Your Life member, Karim Morato. Karim is a certified Spanish teacher who created her own website, Homeschool Spanish Curriculum, to make learning Spanish simple and meaningful for homeschooled students. She was featured on the show 8 months ago, when we helped her build the foundations for her online membership. Karim was also an active participant in our exclusive member mastermind. This helped her build a more interactive online platform to showcase her Spanish teaching expertise that attracted more homeschoolers to sign up as members. She recently started using Facebook Live to try and grow her leads through ads and by conducting short webinars. She is also developing a new course that she believes would branch out to a new set of learners, but needs more insight on how to pitch it in the right direction. Join us as we help Karim analyze options and see if a re-launch is what her online business needs to take it to the next level. Another information-packed episode, you do not want to miss!

So far, we only actually had one snow day here in Kentucky. But when we had that day, it was pretty awesome just to not have to worry about trying to find somebody to watch our kids, or having to take a day off work because the kids were at home. Instead, we were able to stay right here in the house, we didn't have to get out where it was cold and yucky, and it was super, super cold that day. Like, 10°F, something like that. It was nice just to hang out here. We did different things. We did a snow day packet with the kids. It's like work from school. It we were able to work on that with them. We played some computer games, because we're nerds like that. It was a great day. You can connect with S&J on social media too! Thank you for listening! Thanks again for listening to the show!

Need help choosing the direction of your online business? Listening in on today's episode might give you ideas as we help our guest navigate through his business and get a clearer direction for it. Joining us on air this week is FYL community member, Kevin DeWit. Kevin is a father who has always been fascinated with music, so fascinated that he had learned and developed his music mostly by himself. He became the family's sole provider after losing his wife to cancer and has since been raising his wonderful kids on his own. He has 2 children, a son with autism and a daughter, diagnosed with Asperger's. Time constraints and other demands from working full-time as a Network Engineer are slowly burning him out, so his goal is to make it online and get the freedom to be there for his kids. He created KdWMixingMastering.com, where he offers mixing, mastering and audio restoration services to people (mostly artists) who need help in achieving that professional sound. His music-oriented business has a lot of room to grow, but the frustration from its current lack of stability has led him to consider shifting skill sets. He has the IT know-how that may earn him his family's needed income online, although he isn't exactly as passionate about it as he is with music. Torn between two skills and pressed for time, we're going to help Kevin weigh in his options and explore the possibilities of scaling his online business. Everyone in the business has gone through this phase where they are presented with a fork in the road. Everybody has to decide at some point, and sometimes all it takes is a little push in the right direction. Tune in and learn how today's episode can help you navigate through yours. Don't miss it!

Can't Miss Moment: Today's can't miss moment is clearing off our schedule and taking our kids to the doctor. The past couple of days, the kids have not been feeling really well, and we were waiting around to see if we really needed to take them to the doctor. Today was the day that we thought we needed to do that. Sometimes it's kind of hard because we did have a couple of podcasts that we needed to record today, and we had to move those around and we don't like to do that. But it is so nice doing what we do now to actually have the flexibility to do that. We don't have to find somebody to fill in for us, we don't have to ask a boss or anything like that. We can just say, "Hey, I'm very sorry, we need to reschedule." Our community members are so awesome. They are totally understanding of that. You can connect with S&J on social media too!

We just took the kids to Lexington, KY for a day of shopping, and eating, and fun. We just did it on a Monday. We took the day off school, and took the kids up there. We had a great breakfast at First Watch which is like this little breakfast-only restaurant. We got to go to my favorite bookstore, we got to take the kids, buy them some books. Jocelyn did all of the shop-till-you-drop stuff, and it was just awesome to be able to say, "You know what, we control our lives. Our kids don't have to be somewhere every single minute of every day, and we don't do that very often, but we are taking them with us today, and we're going to enjoy a that time with them."

Our guest is someone from our Flip Your Life international community, Music Technology Trainer and Consultant, Katie Wardrobe. Katie, a proud single mom of 2 boys, started out as a teacher running workshops locally and internationally. She has demonstrated her aptitude as an educator in multiple conferences and other music education events. She later worked for an international music software company, where she learned and understood technological aspects in a deeper sense. That was Katie's first real experience into using technology on a daily basis. After her employment with that company, she saw the growing demand for someone of her expertise online. In 2016, she decided to create a platform where she can share her valuable skill set to enable and educate teachers on how to incorporate software -- like Sibelius, GarageBand, Audacity and a whole lot more -- into their music curriculum. Midnight Music, gave her the flexibility to raise her family, as well as engage her strong, active membership community with over 300 members.

Can't Miss Moment: Today's can't miss moment is going to the eye doctor.We haven't been to the eye doctor for like… ever. So it was a relief to know that we didn't need correction lenses, because our eyes were in pretty good shape. We're also so thankful that we can now make appointments for things we need whenever we want. When we used to work at school, we had to find a substitute for our class, we had to leave early. Some days, we would just have to take a day off. We live in a really small town, and there aren't really a lot of specialists near us. Now, we have just the more time to take care of our health and the ability to be there for our family when we are needed the most. Our online business has opened so many doors for us and we are so happy we took action and made things happen. You can connect with S&J on social media too! Thanks again for listening to the show!

Just a good 15-20 minute drive, we've got the radio off, and we are just talking to each other about what we are going to do that day, sharing ideas that we have to grow our online business. Maybe we'll run out and try to catch the sunrise over one of the hills here in our little town in Kentucky. It's just been a really neat thing to be able to stop and smell the roses, I guess, and not have to be in such a rush to get somewhere. I can remember how hectic mornings were when we worked our normal day jobs. We could barely even see each other. Sometimes, one of us would just sleep in a little bit while the other one got out of the house and wouldn't even see each other in the morning. Now we get to spend this quality time together, and start our day always on the same page. You can connect with S&J on social media too! Thanks again for listening to the show!

Need ideas on how to focus on your target niche in your online business? Listen in as we help today's guest on focusing on his target niche to get his online business started. We have a super, amazing guest on air today! He is someone who has inspired many (including us) with his down-to-earth personality and has helped hundreds of clients through his unique approach in handling Small Business Internet Marketing and SEO know-how. We have Flip Your Life community member, Bill Parlaman. Bill is married and is the father to 5 fantastic kids. He got involved in the online business scene back in 2006 and founded Radical Marketing Solutions right from his basement. He specialized in getting client websites more traffic, leads and sales. He made processes very easy to understand and delivered high yielding results. He was able to leave his full-time job as a Risk Control Manager because of his agency's huge success. A few years later, he joined one of the largest marketing agencies in Philadelphia, and is currently serving as their Chief Digital Officer. It was an offer he just couldn't miss. Things were going smoothly, until June 2016, when he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer after going through a routine annual exam. It was this life changing event that forced him to rethink his priorities and focus on making huge lifestyle changes for the sake of his family. He managed to try several diet styles like the Paleo diet, and found that the Ketogenic type diet was what worked best for him. Throughout this transition, he has lost more than 60 pounds and has felt a surprising, steady flow in energy because of his commitment and determination to healthy living. After a successful major operation in September 2016 and having taken several weeks to recover from the biggest battle of his life, he is now 100% cancer-free. (Note: he was back in the forums after he had his surgery!) Now, he is looking into starting a membership site where he can invest his knowledge and have passive income that he can eventually use for his retirement. Join us as we discuss the angles we need to analyze in order to get the foundations of his membership site started. You also don't want to miss Bill's inspiring journey. Ready?

Celebrating the New Year with a Success Story! Hey y'all! We wanted to start 2017 with a shout out to all our members, fans, listeners… all of you who have supported us through thick and thin, Happy New Year! Our first episode is an amazing success story from one of our FYL community members, Marnie Ginsberg, Ph. D. Marnie lives with her husband and 3 wonderful daughters in Madison, WI. She has been deeply involved with educational research and has been a teacher for about 20 years; her research focused on strategies to nurture readers and help them overcome learning hurdles. She also became a private tutor and consultant. Her passion and dedication led her to pursue her doctoral studies at the University of North Carolina, where she coached and guided teachers through a unique and dynamic K-2 reading intervention. This brought in promising results from students who struggled in reading and comprehension. Mrs. Ginsberg had long been intrigued by the online business scene. She has been building her blog and email list since 2015 and by October 2016, she had managed to reach a thousand subscribers. She then co-founded the Reading Simplified Academy and was successful in her recent membership launch. Join us as we talk about Marnie's amazing journey. How did she reach her milestone, what did it take to be where she is today and the lessons she had learned along the way. We will also be brainstorming on how she can retain members and maintain the membership. The year has just begun. We have a lot in store for y'all!

Alright. Let's get started. What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. It is great to be back with you again this week.

Yes, we said it. And we'll tell you exactly why we are not a big fan of affliates. We are going to tackle a topic that has been on our mind (and to be honest, getting on our nerves) for a while now: Affiliate Launches. SO many online marketers jump on the affiliate launch bandwagon. You know the drill. A guru has a new product, book or course. Offers a great "opportunity" for other people online to sell it to their list...for a sweet commission of course. And BOOM, inboxes around the world explode with message after message after message about this life-changing widget. Sigh. Affiliate launches kind of drive us crazy, not just because of the endless spamming, but because of the missed opportunities! What would happen if all of those affiliates focused on building their own brands, instead of someone else's? We get offered to join affiliate launches all the time. We have always said no. Today we tell you why. On today's podcast, we are going to share our personal take and insight on why we want to keep our brand ad, affiliate and guru-free. We will also reveal our big surprise for the incoming year, future plans for our premium community and other good stuff y'all are going to find useful in your online business journey. Also, we want you to know that we are over-the-roof from all the success stories that we've received from our listeners, fans and members throughout the year. We are very proud of what you have accomplished and are excited for even greater successes to come! It has truly been an amazing and eventful year here at the Flipped Lifestyle, so we would like to thank every single one of you for your trust and continued support. Although 2016 is about to come to an end, we urge you to keep dreaming big, get out there and do whatever it takes to flip your life. [Tweet ""Control your own destiny.

She is also the Executive and Editorial Assistant for Science magazine and the Web Producer for iBiology.com. She has been to Japan, India, Spain and many other countries, but is especially fascinated with the Tibetan culture. She had advocated for its preservation and promotion for many years by volunteering for several affiliate Tibetan support organizations. In 2009, Yolanda and Lobsang decided to pursue their passion and created the "YoWangdu Tibetan Culture," a website and business whose mission is to enable visitors to truly experience and genuinely appreciate Tibet's remarkable cultural heritage, as well as support Tibetan education.

Our guest is someone who is part of the Flip Your Life community's international clique. He is a Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE) Master, Xiao Cheng.

Need ideas for a service-based online business lead magnet? Listen in as we discuss target avatars and lead magnets with today's guest to help him grow his online business. On today's podcast, we have Flip Your Life community member, Kyle Wick. Born in Canada, he later moved to Washington where he grew up in a small farm. He was able to attend college, but realized he needed to take a different route and follow his own path. By the time he reached 33, he had already done 30 different jobs but he didn't feel it was the right fit. After a family tragedy in 2008, he finally decided to start his own company, because working for someone else was never his ticket. He founded a window cleaning company called A Touch of Glass Inc. Now with over 20 years of experience, Kyle's company has grown significantly and has since been living the lifestyle he has always wanted. Kyle wants to reach out to a larger audience and coach other service-based business owners, but needs help in getting this venture started in the right direction, so we're going to break ground by discussing target avatars and lead magnets -- among other things.

Links and resources mentioned in today's show: Flip Your Life Community Kyle Wick's Business James Schramko Can't Miss Moment It's kind of a simple one, it's just hanging out with the kids after school. We get to pick the kids up every day at around 3 o'clock, we actually structure our day during the school year to where we do not work after 3 o'clock, so when the kids get home from school, we can be with them. And so we do that but we've done a lot of cool things after school lately. Just playing in the backyard yesterday for about an hour, me and Isaac just ran around with swords, fighting imaginary zombies. Isaac would climb up on their playset, where I would try to climb up and get him like I was the zombie and he would zap me and turn me back into a human. Isaac said, "I really liked playing that game with you today, Daddy!" would have been a missed opportunity if we were still working a nine-to-five. And the other day, Anna Joe came home and she – every day she comes home and says, "Play a board game with me." She loves playing board games. So it's just kind of a fun thing to climb up the – into her closet and pick out the board game. And that we sat outside all afternoon a couple of days ago and just built dominoes. We just built little tracks, we would knock them down and watch them all fall. It was just a lot of fun, just playing after school with the kids. You can connect with S&J on social media too!

Can't Miss Moment This week's Can't Miss Moment is a really cool one for me because I just flew to New York and went to WWE Summerslam, which is like the biggest wrestling – professional wrestling show of the summer. I just went to Wrestlemania a few months ago and it just blows my mind that we have the resources and the time and the freedom available that I can just jump on a plane on a Saturday, run to New York, go to watch this big wrestling show. I got to see a couple of my friends and my best friend we have from here in town with me and one of my best friends that I hadn't seen in years lives in New York so we only got together. I ordered us three tickets and we got to go have a blast. I'm just so thankful that I get to do the things that I want to do – Summerslam, Wrestlemania, things like that like Super Bowl stuff that was on my bucket list just a few short years ago, just to be able to go once to any of those events to save up money and have the time to do that and now it's really so easy for us to just be able to take off and go and I'm just really thankful for that.

And you wouldn't think that would be a particularly significant Can't Miss Moment but for us is because it's something that we were never really able to do in the past. Before when we worked at school, one of us had to take one of the kids to school because Isaac went to preschool at the school we worked at. And, the other one took another daycare. So, this was every single day. And, I love taking the kids to school every morning because we're one in the few – if maybe one of the only mom and dad combos that bring their kids to school. Just about every car we see, it's either mom or dad so I love that. And, we haven't missed a day so far this school year. You can connect with S&J on social media too!

Alright, let's get started. What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. Great to be back with you again this week. For those of you who may be new to the Flipped Lifestyle Podcast, this show is a little different than other online business podcasts that you're used to. We do not bring on experts or gurus selling books or anything like that. We bring on actual Flip Your Life community members, real people running real online businesses and we help them take their business to the next level. I am super excited for our member that we are bringing on the call today because this is one of our members. We have actually met in person. We got to hang out with this person a few weeks ago in Chicago at a conference and we just know she is going to have some great questions today and we're going to have an awesome discussion about online business.

Our journey wasn't the easiest one. The road we took to get to where we are now wasn't paved with just rainbows and sunshine. We did not rely on luck, there was no Magic Pill and we didn't have a "parachute" to bail us out if we failed… we are just simple folks who wanted to have more time to spend with our kids and live our lives to the fullest. It has now been 3 years since we left our regular nine-to-five jobs to become full-time online entrepreneurs, be our own boss for a change and have that freedom. We learned so much and we keep learning as we go through our daily responsibilities. You know what? Life has been so much more rewarding. All the risks we took and sacrifices we made eventually paid off. Sure, it gets difficult at times, but it's also such a gratifying experience to reach out and help so many people. We also get to enjoy our time with the kids, be there for them when they need us the most, it's how we knew that this was the right fit for us. Today is what we fondly call our "Quit-iversary," so we're going to celebrate this milestone by flipping this episode with our take on living the Flipped Lifestyle 24/7, talk about life and dive into very interesting and inspiring stuff.

I was able to take some time off, go up to his school and I was able to see him actually put his handprint up on the wall for scoring those distinguished scores. It just means so much to him to have me there at his school, just to support him and be there when he's there. He thinks that's really cool.

We've officially reached the 100th episode for the Flipped Lifestyle podcast! Before we get started, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their dedication to take action. We've been around for almost 2 years now and it's such an honor how we've all grown as a community. Thank you for all the support and most especially the iTunes reviews. The reviews help secure our rankings and in turn help us reach more aspiring online entrepreneurs. So, if we have impacted your life in anyway and you haven't written us a review yet, please do so because we would absolutely love to receive one from you! We have a special episode for all of our avid listeners this week. As some of you know, we usually get a member on air for a free consulting call to help them take their business to the next level and then let you guys listen in, but this time it's going to be a bit different. Our guest this week is our very good friend and mentor, the crash test dummy of online business, Pat Flynn. Pat has been in the online business scene since 2008. He used to be an architect, until the industry took an economic downturn. Always the optimist, Pat took charge, launched himself in a catapult and began a new life-changing journey. His website smartpassiveincome.com and the Smart Passive Income podcast has touched the lives of thousands of people in an international level. His mindset along with the choices he made has created an amazing ripple effect. Despite all that fame and fortune, Pat firmly believes that the best part about his job is the amount of quality time he gets to spend with his wife and kids -- now, that's a true family man. We have so many things in common with him and we are just thrilled to share our backstory with y'all, like how Shane came across a random podcast one day (while mowing the lawn!) and was just struck with immediate certainty that this is what we needed to flip our lives upside-down. Also, we're gonna talk about family, life and lessons we've learned along the way. So, hold onto your seats and let's get this show on the road. [Tweet "The moment you feel comfortable with something, something can change."] [Tweet "We don't have 24 hours, there's transition time and non-negotiables.

This weeks Can't Miss Moment is being able to eat lunch with my daughter right in the middle of the day. I could have never done that before quitting my job. I would have been at work and there's no way you could leave the school in the middle of the day to go do something like that. You can connect with S&J on social media too!

Don't be timid with your message - there are people that need your expertise. This week we are talking with Elizabeth who speaks about the 'sandwich generation' which today is 45% of 35-55 year olds who are caring for their own children and a parent that has chronic health issues. Feeling overwhelmed and stressed with the load of taking care of her mother and children she went searching online for a community or books with resources of how to cope and find balance in her life. She has created an 8 week action plan to help guide other caregivers in finding balance in their lives. We help her find ways to give her members 'quick wins' and automate that content so as soon as she gets a new subscriber they are receiving the next step. Engagement in your membership is not dictated just by the forum as there will be members who will be satisfied with the content you are providing and being a part of your online community. Be aware with incentives that with the more things you expect your audience to do for example share it on Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. the better the prize/reward needs to be. [Tweet "Put Your Oxygen Mask on First before Others"] You will learn Ways to give your members quick wins. How to get involvement with your members. Importance of automated emails. The value of incentives to increase participation. How to use Incentives as marketing tools. Pros and Cons of Facebook Groups. Growing Your Membership and Engagement.

Each week we bring a member of our flip your life community onto the podcast, today's guest is Shey Harms. Since 2012 she has started several online businesses and podcasts, however, she recently decided to follow her passion which is life on the lake. Shey wants to build a travel based website that is specific to living life on the lake. Her dream is to help families have a great vacation on any lake starting with the Lake of the Ozarks. She hopes to scale it into a lake lovers community focusing on the best lakes in all 50 states. After helping Shey narrow down her target audience in our Flip Your Life forums, we help answer her two main problems: getting email addresses and content delivery. We encouraged her to hire a virtual assistant or someone to help her get her content out into the world and not getting stuck on simple things like not having the 'right' picture before posting a blog or article.
