This week's guest is a Flip Your Life community member who has recently launched her online accounting membership site, Rebecca Tervo. Rebecca has been married for 25 years and has 4 children. She is a Certified Public Accountant and also a Certified QuickBooks Online Proadvisor. She has been in the industry for two and a half decades, having worked closely with nonprofit organizations and small businesses. Her life reached a huge turning point, after losing her son to suicide. This made her realize how life is just too short to be doing a job you don't like. She quit her job as Director of Finance for a non-profit and created LearnNonprofitAccounting.com, where she shares her non-profit accounting expertise to help accountants, bookkeepers and staff to keep up with tax guidelines and those dreaded forms. She joins us today to discuss several interesting topics, from encouraging and maintaining member participation to setting up an effective member nurture sequence as well as analyzing intended ad results.

We're a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online.  And now,

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.
