FL 187 – We help David refine his avatar and apply new content creating strategies

Author: Shane Sams March 20, 2018 Duration: 42:08
"I really, really want to help people and do something to make their lives better BUT I don't think I'm even qualified to do it." Does this sound familiar? This is like saying, "I have superpowers and I want to help but I don't think I should because I'm not really a certified superhero." WHAT?! This is a mindset issue. It's sad that you feel this way when deep down you know: "I CAN DO SOMETHING." RIGHT. NOW. "But… b-but…" But what? Why do you let these excuses run your life? I don't know about you but it sure don't look like excuses are what the world needs right now. Excuses won't make your life worthwhile. And it is NOT what your people need to move their life forward. In Luke 12:48, the Bible says: "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more." Let that wisdom sink in, y'all. Now, are you ready for the big epiphany that you've probably (secretly) knew all along? YOU have a wealth of skills and talents that can solve people's problems. Yes! We mean, YOU, reading this right now! The opportunity to move forward and succeed is right in front of you. So, what are you waiting for? Do the thing you said you'd do! TAKE ACTION and STRIVE FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT. Don't take your gifts for granted, don't waste your potential, and don't kill your purpose. Let everything you do, everything you are and everything you will become be for the greater good. Be in tune with your superpower, embrace it! EVOLVE. And then never stop evolving, dreaming and doing. Our guest this week is someone with an amazing "superpower." We'll be helping out a real-life cowboy get his horse training business online and overcome his aversion to technological know-how, so he can take it to the next level. It's going to be a huge transition but since training horses and cowboying it up are his superpowers, nothing's going to stop him from understanding the fundamental principles in building the foundations of a successful online business. And now, without further ado, here's David Neasons' story… David is a father of two teenage kids, married to his amazing wife, Katie, and is a day-working cowboy. Before we proceed, let's debunk the common misconception that cowboys equal to rodeo. There are different kinds of cowboys, with different skills that are remarkable labors of love. To cut it short, not all cowboys do rodeos, y'all! Some herd animals, some do the field work, and others are more like horsemen. Take David as an example, he is a working cowboy who specializes in horse training.  Growing up in a family of cowboys, he started his first colt when he was in high school, and also trained several horses for other people to make some money while he was in college. But despite being a Texas A&M graduate, he found it difficult to decide which career to pursue, the world was changing and there were a lot of different paths to choose from. With tons of encouragement from Katie, David went on to start his career on horseback as a Feedyard Cowboy. He loved this job and immediately regretted leaving that for a nine-to-five career. By 2005, he decided to leave the office, pick up where he left off as a cowboy and help raise the kids at home. So, how exactly did he start going online if he's a full-time cowboy and horseman? Working with animals that weigh about ten times more than him, he is met with a lot of near misses and near death experiences on a daily basis. So, he goes on to share his daily escapades with his family and friends, to the point where it's almost a running joke that he almost always has at least one close call a day. But leave it to his wife to set the stage!

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.
