FL 131 – We help Kevin choose a direction for his online business

Author: Shane Sams February 21, 2017 Duration: 39:39
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!   Thanks again for listening to the show!

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.
