FL 73 – How We Use Reflection and Goal Setting to Take Our Business to the Next Level

In our first episode of 2016 we're going to go through some of our favorite Can't Miss Moments, things that went right, what went wrong, and our goals for 2016. What Went WRONG in 2015 We got hacked - everything, emails, bank accounts. All of it. This proved to be one of the biggest challenged we have ever faced running our online business. Listen in on how this happened and how we dealt with it. Sickness slowed us down. October - January our family has been sick with pneumonia, respiratory issues. The most important person on our team left to go to another job. This was problematic as we didn't create a good procedure to hand over everything the previous employee was doing. What went RIGHT in 2015. We shifted our business model from launching products periodically to having all of our businesses operate on the recurring membership model. We worked less hours so that we could spend more time with our kids and attend their events. 40- 50 hours a week in 2014 now 10-20 hours of actual work from us. We hosted live events - this was a big goal that we accomplished. Goals for 2016 Goal to grow our Flip Your Life Community (possibly shedding some of our other stuff to focus on this) Hire a high-level business coach that is the level we want to be at.

We hope these moments inspire you to see the possibilities and freedom online business could provide for your family. Favorite from 2015: Traveled more in 2015 than ever before - going to Ft. Lauderdale, FL when Kentucky was going to have an ice storm so the only warm place we could find in the US was there. So we hopped onto a plane and left that same day.
