FL 179 – We help Misty grow her online business by doing more purchase order driven sales transactions

Author: Shane Sams January 23, 2018 Duration: 39:29
Want to know more about purchase order sales? Purchase order driven sales might be a way to grow your online business. Let's listen in and learn from today's episode. Our guest today is a good friend of ours, FYL community member and School Counselor. We have the ever Passionate Action Taker, Misty. Misty is a school counselor in one of the districts in southeastern Kentucky. She is married and is a mother to 2 lovely girls, aged 4 and 6. Wanting to spend more time with her family, she tried doing several business ventures, but found it too exhausting to juggle her side hustle, family, and career. Shifting to online business After listening to our podcasts, she decided that she wanted her family to experience amazing can't miss moments too, and invested in herself and joined our online community. By 2016, she had learned how to use Canva to create content and sold her first digital product on a third party market. She felt more and more empowered because of her new found sense of creativity. After creating enough content and proving her credibility, she went on to launch her website where she can showcase her skills and expertise, School Counselor World. Here, she provides community support and digital resources to fellow school counselors, helping them fulfill the variety of roles you didn't know school counselors were expected to fill. She now has a thriving community of 30+ paying members, tons of thoughtfully organized content, and over 4,000 email subscribers. Her numbers are growing steadily, but how will she 5x or 10x this? Join us as we dive deep on purchase order sales strategies, your business' potential growth from conducting more B2B type transactions and why success is just a matter of finding the time to take consistent action. The weather's a little crazy, but we're here to take even bigger, crazier next steps to flip Misty's business and maybe your online business to the next level. Don't miss it!

Success Story of the Week: This week's success story is a special one because Jocelyn and I are going to celebrate a little success that we have had in our brand and we didn't even really know this had happened, is what's so funny because we set this goal last year. If you listen to our earlier episodes in 2016, you'll catch us sharing our goal from 2015, that we wanted to get 1,000 members in the Flip Your Life community.   We wanted 1,000 people or more to be actively flipping their lives, chasing that flipped lifestyle, taking courses, taking action, and doing whatever it took to flip their life and we weren't even really paying attention. And one of our members posted a forum post in success forums that said, "Congrats, guys, you guys achieved your goal. There's over 1,000 members of the community!" It's just amazing and funny how goals work, we didn't focus on that goal.

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.
