There are a lot of myths and false assumptions about starting an online business that we hear every single week. People will write us, and they'll have preconceived notions about what it takes to start an online business. Maybe they've found some "guru" or somebody else that's told them, you can do this, this, this and this and it's all a pie in the sky and it sounds great. But then they get into it and they realize, 'Wait a minute, something's wrong here, I don't think that person told me the truth.' A lot of people say you have to do this or that and a lot of people make it sound really simple to get started online and the truth is, online business is difficult. Online business is time-consuming, and yes, it even takes a little bit of money. So, today we are going to cut through all of the myths that some people put out there to make online business sound so easy-peasy and we are going to tell you the truth about those myths and try to guide you in the right direction to set you up for success, let you know what it really takes to make it online and then we are going to go over some instructions to help you do that. But first,

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.
