Summary: <a href="https://flippedlifestyle.com/podcast162"></a>5 years ago, we were both working as school teachers, barely getting by and living on someone else's schedule.<br> We were time-pressed parents with no control over our lives.<br> <br> Our greatest journey started with a thought, "We want total control of our lives."<br> <br> That thought led to questions like, "How can we achieve that?" which led us to take action, and THOSE actions later led to our success.<br> It started with creating and selling lesson plans online, which now has evolved to an even bigger calling.<br> It’s been 4 years since we left our nine-to-five jobs.<br> <br> We’re full-time online entrepreneurs serving our online community, all while having the freedom to spend more time with our kids and each other.<br> <br> Our lives have changed for the better because:<br> <br> * We figured out our WHY.<br> * We opened our minds to the possibilities.<br> * We took action AND because we did whatever it took to flip our life.<br> <br> So, to commemorate our 4th quit-iversary, here are 3 of the most important lessons we learned that enabled us to quit our jobs:<br> <br> <a href="https://flippedlifestyle.com/podcast162"></a>If kids can do it, you can too!<br> Mindset Shift #1: Real people can do this! <br> Yes, this means YOU! :-)<br> <br> You might think that you’re not enough, or that you don't have what it takes, that you need a PHD to come up with a brilliant idea or need decades of experience to succeed online… THAT IS NOT TRUE.<br> <br> There were other people like us online and they made it work, so why can’t we?<br> <br> I was a 0-10 head coach at one time, and built an online business that sold football playbooks.<br> <br> Jocelyn was a librarian for just 3 years when she sold lesson plans on her website.<br> <br> Don’t let the world dictate what you can and cannot do.<br> <br> Folks working nine-to-five jobs can make money online. Parents can make money online. Retired, empty-nesters can make money online.<br> <br> We believed and took action, that is why we made it.<br> <br> You are more than capable to succeed too!<br> <br> <a href="https://flippedlifestyle.com/podcast162"></a>Shane's plan VS Jocelyn's plan<br> Mindset Shift #2: Making money is easier than you think<br> When you’re working for someone else, hard work doesn’t always guarantee your family’s financial security.<br> <br> When you trade in your time for that paycheck, that is time away from your spouse, your kids, and things you’re really passionate about.<br> <br> Which brings us to mindset shift #2, making money is easier than you think!<br> <br> There is ALWAYS a way to make money online.<br> <br> Because:<br> <br> Solving problems = Money<br> <br> Bigger problems solved = More money<br> <br> The only one stopping you from making money online is, well, YOU.<br> <br> #YouCanDoIt<br> <br> <a href="https://flippedlifestyle.com/podcast162"></a>write. it. down. then. get. it. done.<br> Mindset Shift #3: We all HAVE the time<br> 60 seconds in a minute. 60 minutes in an hour. 24 hours in a day. 168 hours a week!<br> <br> We all have the same set of time and it’s really up to us HOW we spend it.<br> <br> Prioritize what’s important.<br> <br> What are your non-negotiables? To make it online, you have to be ready to make sacrifices. That means, cutting down on watching TV and even saying no to night out with friends.<br> <br> The time you invest on building your online business today, can spell your success in the future, so you need to decide what stays and what needs to change.<br> <br> Take control of your time, don’t let it control you.<br> We hope you had as much fun learning with us as we have while recording this episode for y'all :-)<br>
