How time flies! It's amazing how far we've come, from being cogs of a machine to creating this life of freedom. We're going to continue our story, sharing with you our lowest lows to our highest highs and hope that this inspires you to take action and make YOUR dreams into a reality. Last week, we talked about the worst day of our life, a truly terrible experience with a daycare center where they were mistreating our son, and that awful experience with a boss at our workplace that made us say, "Hey, this is not the life for us. We are going to do something else. We are going to find something different." As much as we wanted to quit our jobs right there and then, we couldn't until we figure out a way to earn and replace our current income. We researched, brainstormed and had just so many ideas going on at once. It was really hard. We knew the goal, but we didn't know how to get there. The Bible says in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." We were asking and seeking. It was only a matter of time before our prayers were answered. Check out how we discovered online business, the entrepreneurial struggles and our heart-stopping 11￠ moment! We're thrilled to share what relentless enthusiasm, decisive action and faith can do to flip your life.

Shane: Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. We're a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online. And now, we help other families do the same. Are you ready to flip your life? Alright. Let's get started. What's up, guys! Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast! So excited that you joined us today. We're getting into another chapter of our journey talking about how we basically went from employees to discovering online business to where we are today, living the Flipped Lifestyle. And on the last episode, we talked a lot about how we decided that we were going to try to do something different. We had settled in for the long haul, 27 years of teaching on each of us until we could retire. Life events happened that showed us that that was not the life that we wanted to live. We had a terrible experience with our child in a daycare center where they were mistreating him and then an awful experience with a boss at our workplace that basically made us say, "Hey, this is not the life for us. We are going to do something else, we are going to find something different." Jocelyn: And if there is one thing about us that you will realize from listening to all these stories and even things that we've done since then, we don't mess around. When we decide to do something, we find a way to get it done. Shane: That is really where we pick up today is, figuring out what we were going to do.
