Celebrating 8 Years Since We Quit Our Jobs (Jocelyn Returns)!

Celebrating 8 Years Since We Quit Our Jobs (Jocelyn Returns)!

Author: Shane Sams September 28, 2021 Duration: 1:08:59

This is a special episode of the Flipped Lifestyle podcast because it's the 8-year quit-iversary of when Shane and Jocelyn Sams quit their jobs to go full-time in our online businesses.

On this podcast, Shane interviews Jocelyn to ask her some questions about what she's learned in those 8 years, along with what decisions have helped to steer the business into what it is today.

Shane and Jocelyn share the story of what led them into online business, as well as what they did on the first day that they worked from home and became their own bosses.

They talk about the challenges of running a business during a pandemic and how thankful they are to have an online business when so many businesses were shutting down around the world.

Running an online business enabled Shane and Jocelyn to continue to serve the members of the Flipped Lifestyle community and to watch those members succeed during tough times.

Shane and Jocelyn also discuss Life Surge, a huge new opportunity and addition to their business plans. They will be speaking on many stages in the near future, which will grow the membership, and S&J will be expanding their team to take this big next step.

You'll also hear about the current Flipped Lifestyle team and the plans to expand it and some of our favorite memberships and success stories from the community!

In today's episode you'll learn:

How two school teachers quit their jobs to run their online business full-time

The challenges of running a business during the pandemic

How online business enables people to better serve their communities

Hosted by Shane Sams, the Flipped Lifestyle™ Podcast is a conversation about building a business that actually fits around your life, rather than the other way around. It’s born from the real-world experience of Shane and his wife Jocelyn, a family who created a million-dollar income entirely online. They focus on the practical mechanics of selling digital products and running membership sites-essentially, creating valuable information and community that people are willing to pay for. This isn't abstract theory; each episode digs into the systems, mindsets, and sometimes surprising tactics that worked for them as they built a location-independent career. You’ll hear candid discussions on the challenges of shifting from a traditional job to a self-directed online venture, managing family dynamics alongside business growth, and the ongoing work of sustaining success. The aim is to provide actionable insights for anyone feeling stuck in a conventional routine and dreaming of a "flipped" reality where work supports life on their own terms. Tune in for a straightforward, often humorous look at the entrepreneurial journey from a couple who is still actively living it, sharing their lessons so you can chart your own course.
