 Jody Celebrates 4,000 Members! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:31

Our guest this week on The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast is Jody Moore! Jody is the host of the Better Than Happy podcast, and her membership has over 4,000 members! One day on one of our member calls in The Flipped Lifestyle Community, one of our members said, ‘hey, someone was talking about you all the other day.’ So, we looked up this podcast. It was the Better Than Happy Podcast with Jody Moore. The name sounded familiar. When we listened to this episode that we were mentioned in, she was talking about her membership and how she learned about them from us! So, of course we had to talk to her! Jody is a great example of how you really can change your life and others through the membership model. The membership model allows more people access to Jody’s life coaching and allows her to help more people at the same time! Growing up, most of us are told that you work your tail off through college for a job with a decent income. For us, we hit a point where our floor, because of our memberships, was everybody else’s ceiling. It took us a few years to get through that launch world where if you don’t get 1000 members or $100K when you launch, then you’re not a success. But, through the membership model, we have the mindset of giving ourselves raises every day! That is how we developed our philosophy of: Consistent Relentless Prolific We consistently put out our podcast. We share the podcast every day and write the email to our list every day.  We relentlessly follow up with every possible person that slightly raises their hand up into the sky that says ‘I’m paying attention to you.’ Good things are going to happen, because I keep doing that over and over and over again. Then, it’s just a matter of what tools you’re using to keep that going, as everything continues growing. Find out more about Jody at JodyMoore.com! In today’s episode you’ll learn: You don’t have to have a big launch How to reach thousands of people Your membership site can evolve as you do How to define your own success We would love to have you as a member of The Flipped Lifestyle Community!  We believe you have God-given talents and experiences you can use to start an online business!  All you need is 100 people to pay you $50/m online to make $5,000/m, $60,000/y!  Let us help you start a membership of your own.  We offer a FREE Basic Membership to give you the tools and resources you need to find your online business idea and get started.

 How To Market Your Membership! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 41:42

Hey y’all! Today’s guest on The Flipped Lifestyle Podcast is community member Jay Cravens! Jay and his dad, Mark, came to one of our recent Life Surge events in Tampa, FL. They attended one of our workshops to try to figure out an idea for an online business they could work on together! Jay and Mark came up with a great idea to help parents and grandparents connect with their kids and grandkids by learning technology at LinkTheTree.com! Before coming to the event in Tampa, Jay had experience as a YouTuber, so he’s been able to take that experience to quickly launch his membership. We can use the skills we’ve built over the years to get a minimum viable product available to the public. In this episode, we try to narrow down exactly what Jay needs to offer in his membership, so he can have more focused marketing with Facebook ads. We also talk about the dangers of creating too much content. You don’t want to overwhelm potential customers by throwing a ton of content at them immediately; instead, focus on just a few vital elements to make your membership more enticing. Jay has a great mission, and it’s a fitting podcast because this is Shane’s first episode after a scary visit to the hospital. It was through technology that he was able to communicate with his family. I know you’re going to get value from this podcast! In today’s episode you’ll learn: How to get your offer right The dangers of creating too much content How to narrow down your avatar How using skills you’ve learned can help you start your membership quickly No matter what you’re building, the fundamentals are the same We would love to have you as a member of The Flipped Lifestyle Community!  We believe you have God-given talents and experiences you can use to start an online business!  All you need is 100 people to pay you $50/m online to make $5,000/m, $60,000/y!  Let us help you start a membership of your own.  We offer a FREE Basic Membership to give you the tools and resources you need to find your online business idea and get started.

 5 Lessons I learned from my Life-threatening Illness (and 9 Day Hospital Stay) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 49:19

I just had my follow up appointment with my Doctor after spending almost 9 full days in the hospital... He told me, "Shane, you were 2-3 days from your organs failing... or worse.  Thank God you went to the ER when you did. This kills people. It could have killed you." Here's what happened... I came home a few weeks ago from a speaking event in Florida. Over the next few days, I felt super tired all the time. You know the feeling, right? Where you just can't "wake up" all day, or find much motivation to do anything? At first I thought, "I'm probably just tired from traveling... I'll shake it off." Then the fevers started... 101... 102... 103... That's when I got a little scared. My brother sent me a text to check on me and I showed him the thermometer... He was right, I needed to go to the hospital, but I had a problem... We were in the middle of a snow storm and all the power at our house went out. I decided to "tough it out" and stay with my family so we could deal with the freezing weather (which I know know could have been fatal). We packed up the 4x4 pickup truck, and had to move over to my office for a couple days while the power was being restored at home... Then the fever got worse... 103.5... 104... Finally my fever hit 105... That's when things got scary. No matter how much Tylenol or Ibuprofen I took, the fever would not go down. My body started shaking violently. At times it was so bad I had to put a blanket between my top and bottom teeth to keep them from breaking! I contacted my doctor and some close friends in the medical field, they all said the same thing "Get to the Emergency Room." So I went. The first day in the ER, I was there 9 hours... The ER was packed with Covid patients, flu, and other sick folks. I sat there in a full sweatsuit, my hood over my head, trying to stop shivering. A nurse came around to take vitals on everyone waiting. She got to me... my blood pressures was very low... Then she checked my temperature... Her eyes got huge and she said "Holy $%*#!" when she looked at the number and ran off to get a doctor... They took me back and they tested me for Covid, flu, and viruses. Nothing, negative every test. They took blood cultures and told me, "it will take 24 hours to get the results. You can stay here or go home and rest there, we'll call you as soon as we know something." I went home... That was the worst night being sick of my life. Violent shaking, uncontrollable fever, sleeping on an old mattress we keep in the upstairs room of our office... kids in another room on air mattresses because our power was still out at home... A nightmare. Early the next morning I got a text from a great friend named Ben who worked in the emergency room... "Shane, get back to the hospital quick. Bring a bag, you are going to be here a while. Hurry, it's serious." Not good. We packed up and went to the ER... They took me back for another blood sample before being admitted... My fever was high... I was shaking... And suddenly, i passed out unconscious... When I woke up, two nurses and a national guardsman were picking me up and putting me in a wheelchair... I was scared, confused, groggy... My wife Jocelyn was home with the kids,
