FL 110 – Our Quit-iversary Special: 3 Years of Living The Flipped Lifestyle

Author: Shane Sams September 27, 2016 Duration: 36:02
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. Let's get this show on the road y'all!

On today's podcast, we celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Flipping Our Lives with online business. Shane:  Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where Life always comes before work.  We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams.  We're a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online.  And now, we help other families do the same.  Are you ready to flip your life?  Alright.  Let's get started. Jocelyn:  Welcome to today's show.  Today is a very special day and we are changing things up here on the Flipped Lifestyle podcast.  I even get to do the introduction.

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.
