Author: Shane Sams June 23, 2015 Duration: 25:40
In today's podcast we're going to talk about the final 3 things that are stopping you from succeeding in your online business. We've seen the problem with the current stereotypes of people who make online business work (working 24/7, going it alone until 4 in the morning) and how they consistently hold people back. That's why in part 2 of this series we're going to cover three more roadblocks that are probably holding you back from success in your online business. [Tweet "Money is replaceable, time is not."] You will learn Why it's necessary to batch content. How the stereotype of an entrepreneur going it alone is wrong. The value of finding a community (even if it's one person). Need a mastermind?

Listen to what others are saying about Flipped Lifestyle I heard about S&J a month ago and started listening to the podcasts two weeks ago. Since then, I've listened to every single one. Why? Because Shane and Jocelyn share information in every episode that is essential to running an online business. This is not your typical podcast for online sellers. They tell you how it is and give you all the information you need to do it and keep you motivated in the process. If you are listening to more than one business podcast and S&J at Flipped Lifestyle isn't one of them or at the top of the list, then you are missing out and wasting time. Flipped Lifestyle has changed my business and my life. Thank you. "My Uncluttered Life" Click here to leave us an iTunes review and subscribe to the show! We may read yours on the air!

We hope these moments inspire you to see the possibilities and freedom online business could provide for your family. You can connect with S&J on social media too!   Thanks again for listening to the show! If you liked it, make sure you share it with your friends and family!

On today's podcast, we're going to continue last week's discussion about the six reasons your online business may not be successful. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. JOCELYN: Hey guys, welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. We are talking about six reasons your online business may not be as successful as you would like and we actually started these back last week in Episode 48. And if you want to catch the first part of this podcast, you can head on over to flippedlifestyle.com/podcast48 and that is where we started talking about three of the reasons that your online business may not be succeeding and those three reasons were: 1. You have not defined your ideal avatar or audience, the person that you are trying to sell to. 2. You are not thinking about your product first; you are doing a lot of other things that may not necessarily be profitable....

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.
