I'm super excited for y'all to listen to today's episode! I'm chatting with Terry Mejean, a standout member of our community with a really cool business idea involving heartfelt greeting cards. Here's a quick rundown of what we dive into: A Thoughtful Surprise: I kick things off by sharing a fantastic gift I got from Terry—a box full of personal, meaningful greeting cards. Trust me, these aren't your average cards. They're packed with real thought and emotion. Terry's Journey: Terry opens up about his background as an executive chef and pastor, and how a major health scare in 2020 changed his life. We both reflect on how such experiences can shift our perspectives and priorities. The Magic of Greeting Cards: Terry talks about his talent for crafting impactful messages and how this, combined with his personal experiences, inspired him to create cards that offer genuine wisdom and support. Nurturing Relationships: We dive into a conversation about relationships—how they evolve and the importance of keeping them strong.

Think of it like our cells regenerating; relationships need ongoing attention.

I suggest starting with a physical box and then sending small, monthly envelopes to keep things fresh. We also talk about adding digital versions and building a community around the product. Subscription Strategy: We flesh out the idea of combining cards with monthly courses, practical tasks, and community support. We discuss how to target men in their late thirties to early fifties, using content like podcasts to reach them.

Are you lacking the confidence to make sales because your email list is small? Maybe you're contemplating if people would even pay for your digital product? Put yourself in the shoes of the customer for a second and ask yourself: When you purchase something online, do you know what you're really paying for? “Well, I bought this because I need to do this… or that…” Is that really the ONLY reason behind the purchase? Sometimes people confuse the real selling point of a digital product as just the product itself. Yes, they need your product to do this and that, but your digital product delivers something more than what that product description is saying… A product allows your customer to gain: The time to do the things they want. Convenience or ease of use. Confidence and support. Peace of mind and leadership. Your product or what you're creating / what you're about to create, is a part of a greater purpose, which is why you should step up and share this with others who need it to improve their quality of life. Your email list, no matter how small, have people who believe in you and the results your product will deliver. They look to you for guidance, so be confident with your role as the leader because YOU do have what it takes and YOU can help so many by leading them towards their next step. And this is why you can still make big sales even if you have a small email list! So, join us this week as we help Flipped Lifestyle community member, Brad May, get his acoustic guitar business to the next level! Flip Your Life.

Today's guest is Flip Your Life community member, Julie Halitzka. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Julie loves singing and plays a number of musical instruments. She has worked with youth in various roles as a worship leader, play & music teacher, and youth counselor for over 10 years. She decided to take her business online to change and improve their current financial circumstances. Julie created an early childhood music curriculum (for children ages 0-6) called Rockin' Rhythms Music. After starting her website, she had the original intent of marketing this curriculum to teachers. This proved to be a bit of an adjustment from her job as a music teacher, where she is mainly marketing to parents. Not having a well-established email list yet, Julie struggles with the question what a lot of online entrepreneurs have with their digital product — “Will people buy this?” — and the fear of not finding the right people to sell to. Join us today as we help Julie reframe her avatar, grow and build her email list. We also help her with improving content strategies for better efficiency, prioritizing and time management when “life gets in the way”, as well as accountability.

Mark has played drums and percussion for a living, where he has gotten the opportunity to tour the UK, Europe and the United States. He had also found teaching to be his other passion at age 40, thanks to his children. Mark is also part of the National Association for Primary Education in the UK which helped him understand the issues surrounding people involved in education, not just the amount of work and stress closely tied to this profession, but also because of certain limitations in the school system makes it difficult for them to deliver the kind of learning the children deserve. His podcast, Education on Fire, helps fellow educators discuss ideas and share resources online. But having the freedom to pursue his passion for music and teaching doesn't come without a price. You see, time flexibility can be a double-edged sword. When you agree to one opportunity, you will have to turn down another, simply because you can't be in two places at the same time and exert the same amount of effort to accomplish two different tasks. Being a father, professional musician, primary school teacher AND a podcaster is no easy task. Pursuing his music or teaching career will have its own benefits, but he has found great interest in podcasting and how it can help him have the freedom to spend more time with his family. He has already found a good audience through sharing his insight as a primary school teacher on his podcast, so how can that help him make money online? If you wanna know how we helped Mark, then don't miss this episode, we're going to dive deep into several fantastic points that will help take his online business to the next level and it can help you too!

David's blog, aTexasCowboy.com, started to attract audiences in no time! Hundreds of people enjoyed his posts — it was a surprisingly huge hit. But here's the thing, David is quite the perfectionist. He has zero tolerance for poor grammar and takes great care to proofread his work at least 10 times before even hitting “Publish.” Juggling an unmonetized blog with his already demanding profession didn't feel like a path he wanted to keep pursuing, so he inevitably threw it to the back-burner. But despite not updating their website, his audience stayed. So, they started a Facebook page called, “Through The Eyes of a Cowboy.” And it was another instant hit! Years roll by and now David is struck with a new realization: He can't keep training horses forever, not at this level and not when he is getting older. He's got the expertise, he's got the audience and now, comes the question… HOW DO THEY MAKE MONEY ONLINE? Join us as we help David refine his avatar and share our content creation strategies to turn his ideas into lead magnets and offers. Are you stuck figuring things out by yourself? Then saddle up, it's time to take action and get this show on the road! We would love to have you as a member of The Flipped Lifestyle Community!

Our guest this week is a real inspiration! We're super excited to help Flip Your Life community member & ASL Resource Developer, Cynthia Long. Cynthia has been married 32 years, a mother of 3 AND grandmother of 3. Her passion in learning ASL began when her son had met a deaf boy in his study group. He said, “Mom, no one is talking to him.” It's how they decided to learn sign language and she became hooked. She loved signing so much that she eventually got a degree in ASL. Because her passion was so strong, she took her board exam fresh off her first year. She was the first in her college to become Nationally Certified and later was the first to be Certified in the school district. After 8 years of interpreting in the school system, she noticed that there were no resources for deaf and hearing impaired kids. This led her to create Sign Baby Sign that was initially meant to teach babies ASL, and has now evolved to supplementing school systems with ASL resource. Their website is now ASLteachingresources.com and continues to expand its content. Cynthia's website is loaded with content and has generated income mostly from one-off sales. She is looking into turning her online business to lean towards a more sustainable and recurring feature. This brings us to her guest question, “How do I set up my membership site for my niche?” Join us as we help Cynthia pivot from one-off sales to the more passive income generating membership model. Are you interested on what the membership model can do for you and your business? Do you want to learn about its advantages and the strategies we use to implement it?

His wife Daphne is an elementary reading teacher and supports him in his online business through brainstorming and doing all the editing. They spent the first year building their audience with their podcast, but didn't have a product yet. At the end of the first year, he wrote a book, called “A Pharmacist's Guide to Inpatient Medical Emergencies” to teach hospital pharmacists and residents what to do during a “code blue” in the hospital. Joe pre-sold and then launched the beta version of his critical care pharmacy academy – intended as a recurring membership site. The membership successfully launched and has garnered him over 90 members to date.

How do you start an engaging online membership community where people come and stay month-after-month? That's what we're going to be analyzing with you and Kristin today. Joining us on today's show is a Private Mastermind participant and fellow educator, Kristin Houser. Kristin is currently working and researching as an Elementary School Instructional Coach. She has been in the education scene for about 13 years now, 7 years as a Classroom Teacher and 6 years as an Instructional Coach. She specializes in helping teachers maximize their potential and enable them to improve their way of teaching. During her transition from classroom teacher to instructional coach, she had been searching for content and possibly a community, where she could get the extra boost that could help her in her own coaching journey.
