The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast

Our twice monthly member only call is a hit with our FYL members! 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. Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: "After a bit of a break, I’m getting ready to promote and launch the beta version of my membership at 15/month (my goal is to have it launched by Nashville)! How long of a time or how many members should I have in my first beta group before I move to the next group, or would it no longer be a beta group after the first round of members? Would it make sense for the next group to stay at the next price point, or should I start playing with price with the second group in?" Question Two: "My website has had the white screen of death for two days. I've had people working on it who have discovered I have not been hacked (yaaa!) but the problem is my theme. Until I figure out a solution, it's been switched over to Twenty Twelve. But, ALL of my pages are listed at the top of my home page! Even ones I don't want seen. What should I do to hide them until the theme issue gets resolved?" Question Three: "I have a new site setup on Wordpress and Genesis Framework. Is this all I need? After that is there a basic tools list I’m not finding? I’ve been aiming at affiliate marketing but am discovering I need thousands of page views each day for that to work."

Learning to stand up paddle board, a @cantmissmoment thanks to online business 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. Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: "Hi Shane and Jocelyn! I have completed: - my first month of lesson plans (in the members forum) - completed building my website - I have a opt-in lead magnet on my homepage with thrive leads - I have created the first few emails for my autoresponders - I have completed the sales page, options page, order page, and thank you page I am now working on the facebook ads in the blueprint. I don't have anyone on my email list and do not have any members. What is the next step to launch? I am ready and want to launch this week!" Question Two: "I have a developer working on my site and he told me it would be done by the end of July. I told my email list the price would be going up when the new site is ready (that was the last week of July). Now my developer needs until the end of August. I already sent out that one price increase email. Now I don't know if I should increase my price before the new site (with new capabilities) is up or wait and resend another price increase email when it's ready. Also, this is my busy Back to school season, so not sure what to do." Question Three: "I feel like I'm riding a yo-yo right now between working in the business and working on the business. I feels like I go one month when we are super productive doing what we need to do to bring members in and then as a result the next month I'm covered with getting those new members off to an excellent start. Any tips on how to figure out how we can be consistent with both all of the time?" CLICK HERE to get your FREE 30-DAY Membership in the Flip Your Life Community NOW!

Another #cantmissmoment with our kids, all thanks to our online business! 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. Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: "I get demotivated by success. Is that weird? What do I do with that? I feel overwhelmed about what to do next now that I have members in my site other than creating new course modules. The other is that, over the years, I've suffered from a drop-off in motivation when I hit a new peak - almost like I've convinced myself that the challenge is gone because I can see that I'm actually capable of achieving my goal. I know intellectually that that's stupid because I've hit step 1 of like step 10 in my long-term goal, but I have trouble using long-term goals as motivation and experience a motivation dip after I accomplish something good." Question Two: "I feel like I am dealing with an emotional rollercoaster right now. I have an new amazing website, my course creation is moving along nicely and I have my new member site ready to open. I am now ready to launch my membership site and, I realised yesterday that I am fighting a mental block. I am fighting fear that I am going to spend a lot of money on ad's for my webinar and no one will attend. I have a thriving off line business but this is my first time to take it online. Just need help battling the mind." Question Three: "Can you talk a little bit about how you move current monthly members to annual members? I am curious about timing and I'm not sure if I should do this with my technology limits. I believe that with ThriveCart I would need to cancel their current membership and have them re sign up as an annual. Any ideas?"

Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: "Thinking about doing an evergreen webinar, does it have to be recorded live the first time and then turned into the "evergreen" sequence?" Question Two: "What are the kids up to? Just wondering how life looks when you're working at home with kids?" Question Three: "I'm considering offering a one month free option like you do. I'm thinking, because my topic handles such deep emotional issues (such as how they have learned to cope with past abuse or emotional neglect), it would provide an opportunity for potential members to feel more confident that they can trust me and the group. Does this make sense as a way to go? Are there other things I should consider before throwing this out to my audience?"

Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: "Shane - I just read your post about the Mastermind group you're part of. Can you talk a bit about how it's structured and functions? How often do you meet up? Do you focus on 1 person each time, etc? How do you hold everyone accountable... Thank you!" Question Two: "Still working on my product, a business class for birth professionals. All about how to setup a small business and how to do basic accounting and bookkeeping. Any good domain name ideas?" Question Three: "How much time should I wait between product launches? I just launched my first product (mommy bounce back program)—it’s only sold 4 :( but I have ideas to do a program for seniors and then another product to supplement my brick and mortar business—so just power yoga you can do at home. The question is I don’t know if I should even bother getting those videos recorded, or if I should double down on the marketing. (I’m currently spending about $10/day on FB ads targeting my audience of around 4K and a look alike audience around the U.S.)."

Online business allows our family to go to Dollywood on a weekday! 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. Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: "Here's my questions... I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I have a LOT going on right now with my business. I'm excited, nervous, and stressed all at once. A lot of stuff is about to take off. I'm piloting a new in-person workshop for nurses this weekend (it's sold out!), and I'll be rolling it out to my Instructors next year. My childbirth class has 30 Instructors signed up to train to teach it in November. I need to finish my book before Nashville, too. I just need some words of encouragement." Question Two: "Hi Guys ... I finished my product revision and bonuses and started advertising on Facebook over the weekend. I'm selling a Christmas play script and four bonuses for $97. I'm targeting worship pastors and children's pastors right now - those were the only groups I could find in the FB audience. So far, I've spent $15.00 and have had 31 clicks to my website with three of those people submitting their email address to read the script. So far no sales, but I'm not surprised as it often takes time to make a decision to choose a Christmas play script and it often has to go through committees or pastoral approval. (I am running a drip campaign to follow-up with them.) My question is this: so far, each script download has costs me $5.00. Is that normal? No idea what my actual cost per lead will cost until people start buying. Maybe it's too early to know whether or not the $5.00 per lead is worth it?" Question Three: "I was recently approached by a publisher about writing and publishing a cookbook the traditional route. The publisher is distributed by a large, familiar company, so I'd have the opportunity to be in all of the bookstores, big box stores, etc. On one hand, I like the idea, because it gets me out in front of a different audience and is a way to get my name out there and give me even more authority than I already have. On the other hand, it's a ton of work, for sometimes little pay (depending on the advance that is negotiated and how long it takes you to start earning royalties) and I've heard that in many cases all that you ever end up getting paid, is the advance. Do you have any advice for me?" CLICK HERE to get your FREE 30-DAY Membership in the Flip Your Life Community NOW! You can connect with S&J on social media too!

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. Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: “I keep hearing people talk about minimum viable product. What does that mean and exactly how minimal are we talking?” Question Two: “I have grown my email group to 3000 and my Facebook group to 12000. You have inspired me to create a membership site, I have one paid course. Do I include it in my membership? And if my lead magnet is a five day email course, how do I send an email nurturing sequence if they’re already being hit with 5 days of emails?” Question Three: “I have gone through most of the training videos, and I love them. I am launching my membership site for parents of children with Autism who are looking for daily activities they can do with their children at home and behavioral tips to help manage their children’s behavior. I currently have two small products and one course that I sell to my list of about 1500 people regularly. I was thinking of creating one month of lesson plans and selling it as a one-off product, since my list is used to this, and then launching my membership at the same time. I have two questions: Should I launch one month of lesson plans first and then offer the membership OR should I launch it at the same time? Next, how much should I charge?

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. Today’s Q&A highlights answer the following questions:  Question One: "One of the things that has been holding me back is concern about legal issues. So, I have two parts to this question: 1. How do you protect yourself from concerns over copyright issues? If a course offers advice that is similar to other information someone puts out in a book, for instance. Can the person sue you for copyright infringement? I’m obviously not copying anyone else, but there are times where my advice may parallel someone else’s advice. So, how similar is too similar? 2. Also, I have trademarked my business name and submitted my ebook for copyright, and I’m wondering what other legal issues I may need to consider." Question Two: "I was wondering if you could delve into the topic of creating urgency with your offer versus always being open? I know you guys advised me last time to become prolific with my webinars and one-dollar-trials, but there’s so much emphasis on creating urgency as a means of pushing potential members through the door and converting them to paying customers. It almost sounds like becoming prolific with my webinars and creating urgency are two conflicting strategies and I need to choose one over the other. How does one figure out the right strategy for them and rectify these two seemingly important yet conflicting strategies" Question Three: "The last two months, none of my almost 30 members have attended my monthly Q&A member calls. I’m going to email my members and ask what they want the call to look like or if it’s just a scheduling issue. Do you have advice on ways I could structure the call? I did it similar to how you have yours set up, but in Zoom. I wanted to give them some ideas of what it could look like in order to get them thinking about what they want."

Stephanie says, "I'm excited to share I shipped my first subscriptions out today to my first 5 subscribers!  I did a Facebook live about it, which was about 20 seconds, and it's getting great traction so WIN-WIN! Getting this business - an online food subscription business - up and running has required a LOT from the perspective of certifications, inspections, insurance, contracts, you name it. Plus the usual marketing and back-end technical stuff. I'm happy with where I'm at and have such a clear picture for what's next.  I'm most excited to start get amp-up with creating content and MARKETING more heavily! Thanks to everyone here and S&J for the content. Shane said something in one of the master classes about "do AAA, BBB, CCC; not ABC, ABC, ABC" and that has been what I've aligned to over the last month and it's really paid off. I was spreading myself to thin to really make headway and now I'm in a great position to make this business pay off." Stephanie, we are proud of you!

Melissa says, "I would never talk to someone the way I talk to myself. Over the past two weeks, I've been busy with my family and many fun end of the year activities. Late at night I'd crawl into bed with heavy eyelids and a battered spirit. I tried, but I just couldn't get it all done for my website. There weren't enough hours of the day, and I got really down on myself. I found myself talk being some of the most discouraging conversations I've ever heard, and it was all in my own head. Never, not ever would I speak such defeating statements to a fellow entrepreneur. I recall hearing Shane and Jocelyn speak of this and suddenly I knew, truly knew what they had meant. I can see where a person might want to throw in the towel, but sometimes life is just that busy. Step 1 - sometimes life is just going to get in the way Step 2 - forgive those moments of self sabotage. Instead, i engaged in my family time festivities and thoroughly enjoyed those can't miss moments. Yay for me! Now Step 3 - back to work." Melissa, we are so proud of you! This mindset shift is so important for anyone who is starting a business. You can't let negative talk get in your way, and I'm so proud of you for recognizing it and changing that pattern. We would love to help you write the success story for your online business.

  "How can I be sure my idea is going to work?" In today's episode, Shane talks about finalizing your online business idea -- overcoming any fears, obstacles, or doubts about your idea.
