Background: I love interviewing people who are part of the employee ownership community and my interview with Bob Tomaka, CFO of Meirer Supply, didn't disappoint. In this week's episode of Reflect Forward, Bob shares Meier Supply's journey to employee ownership and how teaching people how to think and act like owners transformed the company. Bob also tells us how being an executive at an employee-owned company caused him to be more empathetic and a better listener.

J. Scott knows it's never just business; it's about people. J. considers himself a talentless, real-life anti-hero who doesn't just talk; he walks the walk. Growing up in the streets of Los Angeles with less-than-ideal parents, J. learned early on that actions speak louder than words. After dropping out of high school at 17, J. joined the Navy and learned firsthand that grit and courage could overcome any lack of talent. He embraced every opportunity to learn and eventually became a Naval Rescue Swimmer, jumping out of helicopters to save lives. Rewind: two decades ago, J. founded 120VC to help people, leaders, and teams get things done that really matter. He's uncovered some universal truths along the way: organizations are optimized for their results, and to get different results, humans need to perform their jobs differently. J. Scott is the epitome of the anti-thought leader, proving that leadership isn't about being the team's most talented or successful person. It's about helping your team members define and deliver success. If you surround yourself with talented people and inspire them to reach THEIR potential, the leader doesn't need to be talented. They just have to play for the team. J. Scott is a regular guy who's proven that actions speak louder than words. Be sure to check out J.'s Two-Time Amazon Bestseller Books "It's Never Just Business: It's About People" and "The Irreverent Guide to Project Management" Episode in a Tweet: It's important to demonstrate care by what we do, not by what we feel or say, and to exercise the power of a growth mindset and a happiness advantage. Background: J. Scott is all about helping people lead and respond to change—with efficiency, agility, and humanity. Because if you're not leading change, you're reacting to it or made obsolete by it. I love this conversation with J. as we explore the difference between accountability and responsibility. As he says, "Bosses ‘hold people accountable.' The phrase itself sounds like they are physically accosting someone. When they don't get the expected results, they get frustrated because of the negative impact this situation will have on their success. So they start “holding people accountable” and looking for someone to blame. It can be brutal.” J. also shares his expertise in inspiring people to change how they work. He tells us that humans crave success in all areas of their lives, and nobody knows how to be successful in doing their job differently. That's where leaders come in - to help people feel safe to experiment and slay new ways of working. J. is a great storyteller who walks the walk, no doubt.

Today's Bad Beats episode of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast was cut live at FinCon 2018. So on top of the usual show notes, be sure to check out the Royal Legal Solutions YouTube Channel for some video extras from this and other bonus material from the conference.Our host and attorney Scott Smith got the chance to sit down with Monick Halm, an apartment syndication investor who some of you may already know as The Real Estate Investor Goddess. Monick agreed to tell us about one of her worst deals and how she recovered from it. Tune in to Episode 39 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast now to hear the full conversation.Listen To Episode 39 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast NowMonick Halm's Apartment Syndication Bad BeatMonick joins Scott to tell us a bit about her investing career and an apartment syndication deal that didn't go as planned.[1:55] Monick joins Scott to share about one of her first two apartment syndication deals. She bought two 77-unit buildings within a week of another, with high hopes for both. She planned to manage them together. The market, Albuquerque, NM, was new to her and her partner. But the numbers jived, and things looked bright enough in the beginning.[3:30] Monick quickly learned that many of her apartments had tenants who simply weren't paying rent. “One thing we didn't do well is look at the dates and see how long tenants had been there,” Monick explains. “We didn't pay enough attention to delinquency.”[4:45] The property was managed by one of the state's largest property management companies. Occupancy plummeted and the property management company was not pulling their own weight.[5:40] Monick speaks to an additional stress of underperforming in a syndication context: “It's bad when your property's not performing like you want and your own money's on the line. But when it's someone else's, it's so much worse.”[6:30] Did you know that Albuquerque, NM is the car-jacking capital of the country? We didn't. And neither did Monick. But she found out when two of her tenants had vehicles stolen from the complex's lot. Even then, she had to bid with five separate companies before one agreed to build a fence nine long months later.[8:30] Monick did eventually experience a share of good luck: “Cap rates went down and a seller approached us about buying the property at a good sale price.”[Tweet ""It's bad when your property's not performing like you want and your own money's on the line. But when it's someone else's, it's so much worse." - Monick Halm, Real Estate Nerds Podcast #39"]Lessons Learned: Your Team Can Help You Recover From a Bad BeatMonick and Scott wrap up the episode with the major lessons listeners Monick learned herself, as well as some take-aways listeners can learn from Monick's story.[9:15] Scott points out that Monick must have learned many lessons from this property. She confirms: “We learned a lot about the importance of your team. Your team on the ground is everything.” She also now knows the importance of understanding your market, particularly if you're an out-of-state investor.[10:30] “We leaned a lot on our network for advice” to both manage and get out of the situation, Monick explains. She has a wide professional network of experienced investors who are also syndicators. During this time, they provided an excellent sounding board and offered some problem-solving ideas that helped her spring back.[12:30] Scott points out that you can do almost everything right, have a team of trusted advisors with the experience to handle the problem helped Monick recover from this deal. He adds that one of the beautiful things about real estate is that time can correct many costs.[14:00] Monick shares about her space specifically for female investors, Real Estate Investor Goddesses. She has an upcoming 7-Day Challenge for anyone who joins to community. The challenge is an assessment to help determine whether you are ready to invest. If you are a woman interested in real estate, visit www.realestateinvestorgoddesses.com for the latest on that.[Tweet "“We learned a lot about the importance of your team.

"Once I got on the start line, that was the most at peace I'd felt in a long time." "Drink a beer for me," Molly Seidel told her family over FaceTime from Sapporo, just moments after becoming an Olympic Bronze Medalist in the marathon. Even better: drinking a beer with Molly, which is exactly what a few hundred of us did on Tuesday, August 31, during this virtual live show with the newly minted Olympic medalist. During this fun celebratory conversation, Molly talks about throwing out the first pitch at the Red Sox game a few weeks ago (let's just call it a strike, OK?), that viral airplane Tweet ("It was 100 percent mansplaining," she says), where she plans to keep her bronze medal ("somewhere weird"), and the fellow Olympic marathoner she's "shooting her shot" with. Plus, every detail on the Olympic marathon, including Molly's fun travel details, tales from the Athlete Village, and some jaw-dropping stories of mid-race trash talking and why Molly was veering away from the pack (it wasn't in search of shade).

You are in for a treat with today’s guest and her unique story of resilience. Even though it took many years to make her childhood dreams come true, she found a way to make it happen despite overwhelming odds that were against her. She’s now enjoying success that she never saw coming--and the best is yet to come! Join us to learn more! Lori Orlinsky is a multi-award-winning author who lives in Chicago. She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. An author with Mascot Books, Lori writes rhyming, lesson-based picture books that naturally lead to a discussion about important topics, such as bullying prevention and honesty. At just over five feet tall, she wishes her first book Being Small (Isn’t So Bad After All) was around while she was growing up. Fulfilling a lifelong dream How long would you chase your dream before giving up? Lori knew as a young child that she wanted to write books. Even as a kid, she crafted construction paper “books” to tell her stories. She later prepared for the journey to writing children’s books by going to journalism school and writing in different capacities whenever she found opportunities. Her inspiration came from a specific incident with her oldest daughter being singled out as the shortest in her class. When Lori looked for children’s books about being small, she couldn’t find a single one! This was her inspiration to write Being Small (Isn’t So Bad After All). Lori calls this event her “Aha moment” in the journey to chase her lifelong dream of being a writer. This is what it took to realize her dream was finding the personal passion for writing about a topic that impacted her family, along with realizing that the need existed for a book like hers. Lori’s book is for kids who feel singled out and slighted because of their small size, but it’s a book about bullying prevention at its core. TWEET: Lori realized her dream was finding the personal passion for writing about a topic that impacted her family. @loriorlinskyauthor #chasingdreams Continuing on the journey How many “No’s” would it take to make you give up on your dream? Lori would give a big number to that question. After writing her book, it took about 200 tries to get it published, but she never gave up. Lori’s second book, The Tooth Fairy’s Tummyache, was written in response to her struggle to teach her daughters the value of honesty. The story, with a main character named for her youngest daughter, concludes with an admonition to be honest and always tell the truth. The book has the fun silliness of a story with rhymes, but it teaches an important lesson in honesty, too. Lori believes that a fun story that teaches kids a valuable lesson is better than sitting down to have those difficult conversations about their behavior. Lori’s third book, Balloons for Tiger, is about the love we have for our pets and will be out in May 2021. TWEET: It took Lori 200 tries to get her first book published. @loriorlinskyauthor #chasingdreams The epitome of a dream chaser Does your dream chase inspire others? You don’t have to look hard at Lori’s story to be inspired by her resilience. She NEVER gave up on her dream. She waited for inspiration to strike and the need to arise for each book she has written. She says, “The best books come out of the times in which we live and the things that we experience.” Her first book is still in demand, it’s still being reprinted, and she’s still connecting with parents and teachers about it--even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether writing or just being a mom, Lori is passionate about teaching kids to focus on the positive moments in life and not let negative moments define them. TWEET: Lor waited for inspiration to strike and the need to arise for each book she has written. @loriorlinskyauthor #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Go back to your childhood.

I met today’s guest at a conference in Atlantic City. I quickly found her to be a kindred spirit, as we felt an immediate connection and friendship, despite our different cultural backgrounds. She joins us all the way from her home country of Australia! Samantha Riley left the corporate world and ventured out into the world of business over 25 years ago because she wanted the freedom to spend more time with family to be rewarded for working harder. She has built multiple businesses and grew her first seven-figure business before she was 30 years old. Sam leveraged herself out of her brick and mortar businesses and found herself working less than ten hours each week. Now she has replicated that same system to build her online coaching business, which gives her even more freedom as she’s now location independent. Sam teaches her system to successful entrepreneurs, business owners, and experts, and she helps them develop their thought leadership so they can replace their income, reclaim their time, and lead a more purposeful life.  Taking a big gamble If you landed the safe, stable government job that your family dreamed of for you, would you leave it to jump into the unknown? Many people wouldn’t, but Samantha isn’t like everyone else. Being a ballerina was her childhood passion, consuming her nights and weekends for many years of training. As she reached adulthood, she was told that she’d never make it as a dancer, so she gave in to her passion for teaching and opened a dance studio after her brief two-year stint in the corporate world with a government job. Logic told her to stay in the stable world, but she realized no one around her was happy. She made the decision to take the gamble, leave the corporate stability, and start over, even though she and her husband had two kids and a mortgage at the time. TWEET: Logic told Sam to stay in the stable world, but she realized no one around her was happy. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams Sam’s advice for others What drives you? For Sam, it was her passion for dancing that dominated her business life for 20 years. A split from her first husband put her through a difficult time, so branched into holding retreats around spirituality and health and wellness. She helped people with job troubles and moved into the coaching world. Sam quickly realized that she loved the business end more than delivering the expertise; it was through networking and administrating that enlightenment came to her. She says that the problem is that most people won’t make life-changing decisions until their back is against the wall, mainly because they haven’t acknowledged what they really want out of life.  TWEET: It was through networking and administrating that enlightenment came to her. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams Finding fulfillment Why do so many mothers put everyone else first and themselves last? Sam grew up in a household where she saw her mom always put herself last, and she fell into that same pattern with all the aspects of motherhood. As a result, she became resentful, tired, and unfulfilled. She never took time for herself, choosing instead to be the martyr. It took separating from her husband for her to realize that she COULD do things for herself. That big step has made her life very different now than what it once was. Everything she teaches now is based on what people want out of life and how they can make the choices to get them there.  TWEET: Always putting herself last made Sam feel resentful, tired, and unfulfilled. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”The #1 thing you have to do is to get really clear about what you really want. You can’t create the actions you want to get there until you know what it is that you want.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [2:46] Young Sam’s dreams [5:16]  From dancing into the corporate world [7:16] Taking a big gamble [10:58] Wanting more [14:18] The prevalence of coaches today [22:14] Sam’s advice to coaches and clients [26:34] A moment of enlightenment [27:51] Knowing what you want [30:28] Fill your own cup first [33:32] Some brutal honesty about motherhood [38:30] Sam’s non-traditional life today [42:44] Get to know Sam better [47:48] ONE action for a dream chaser RESOURCES MENTIONED: Sam’s Facebook Sam’s Twitter Sam’s Instagram Sam’s LinkedIn  Watch The Episode On YouTube TWEETS YOU CAN USE: Teaching is in my blood, and I just used the vehicle of dance to get there. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams For us, taking a gamble was more about looking into the future. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams We have to show up and give to ourselves first before we can show up for others. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams As humans, we usually don’t make life-changing decisions until we are way, way past unhappy. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams Social media curates your thoughts, and if you’re not aware of it, it can send you down a dark rabbit hole. @TheSamRiley #chasingdreams

Today’s guest is a friend of the family, and her dad and brother have both been on previous shows. In Women’s History Month, she’s another amazing woman doing amazing things in the world. She’s part of a new generation paving the way for other young women coming along----and she’s doing all this at the tender age of 18.  Aniya Wolfe, striding onto sets as “Wolfe,” began 2020 by launching Ivy Sky Pictures, her second production company that aims to produce films, demonstrations, photoshoots, and music videos that spotlight the souls of artists and companies. At just 18 years of age, Wolfe has identified her love of expressing and inspiring while experiencing a spectrum of emotions at being present in today’s world and channeling it through art.  Finding inspiration Where do you find inspiration? Wolfe was a huge fan of Hannah Montana, wanting her life to be “the best of both worlds.” Her family was supportive of her acting aspirations, so she plunged into her first commercial. What Wolfe discovered was that she was more intrigued by what went on behind the scenes than what happened in front of the camera. Her entire family left their Philadelphia lives behind and moved to California in pursuit of their acting and directing dreams. Wolfe explains how her first community, her family, helped her become rooted and grounded in community--a philosophy that she clings to today.  TWEET: Wolfe’s family helped her become rooted and grounded in community. @directorwolfe #chasingdreams Figuring it out Did you figure out who you were by age 18? Wolfe spent time figuring out who she is as an artist and how to identify as an artist. Her learning came about through trial and error---and a lot of experimentation. Settling on the art form she wants to create, she says that experimentation and nurturing the artist are key components. She calls Ivy Sky Pictures “the next step: in her evolution as an artist.  TWEET: Learning comes through trial and error. And a lot of experimentation! @directorwolfe #chasingdreams Passion and sacrifice How much sacrifice are you willing to make for your passion? In her middle school years, Wolfe knew the direction she wanted to go and felt the passion for pursuing her dreams. She graduated from high school early so she could move up to what she wanted to accomplish in the world. It wasn’t easy. It took sacrifice to succeed in school in the daytime and edit her pet video projects in the evenings. Wolfe never resented the work or the sacrifice, though, because she was living out her passion.

Is your work your passion? Sadly, for many people, work is just something they do to earn a paycheck. Today’s show is all about how much more fulfilling your work can be when you commit to being “all in” on chasing your dreams.  Paul Ollinger is a nationally-touring stand-up comedian. After achieving success in the corporate world as one of the first 250 employees of Facebook, Paul finally decided it was time to give in to his true passion---stand-up comedy. Since leaving his job at Facebook, he made the world of stand-up comedy his full-time job and now provides his audiences with a hilarious, but honest, no-nonsense approach to everyday life. Crowds of all ages embrace Paul as a straight shooter who talks about how it is, rather than how we wish it would be. Today, Paul’s comedy career takes him to clubs and corporate events all over North America, where he has opened for top comics and been featured at major comedy clubs and festivals. Paul is also the host of Crazy Money, a podcast in which he interviews entrepreneurs, celebrities, authors, and artists with a humorous perspective on money, wealth, and careers. The show focuses on how we think about and live with money, both as a society and as individuals.  Flip-flopping along Have you ever floundered between careers? Paul flip-flopped between his corporate and comedy careers for about 15 years, simply because he was fearful to launch into comedy as a full-time endeavor. When he first joined Facebook, he left his comedy dreams behind completely, but always felt much tension and conflict in that decision. He says that his creative inner self ate away at him until he knew he had to leave Facebook and do something else. At the time, he was too scared to admit to himself that what he wanted was to focus full-time on comedy. TWEET: What would happen if I gave it my all? @paul_ollinger #chasingdreams Take a big-picture view Is your career what you should be doing? Paul loves his career in comedy today and is glad he dared to leave the corporate world behind, but he admits that some days are just a grind. He explains why it’s important to take a big-picture, high-level view of your career. Some days come when he feels like he isn’t getting the traction he needs in the comedy business, but there are other days when he knows he’s on the right track to accomplish his goals. TWEET: It’s the relationship between what you want and what you have that defines your wealth. @paul_ollinger #chasingdreams Work: much more than a paycheck Is your work just something you do to earn a paycheck? Paul says that work is about so much more than a paycheck! It’s about relationships, camaraderie, and identity. When he didn’t have work in his life, he felt lonely, depressed, and adrift. Work helps you meet new challenges, learn new things, and have a sense of belonging; Paul didn’t realize he was missing out on these things until he went through a time when work wasn’t part of his life. All of these attitudes played into the decision to start his podcast to explore how our relationship with money affects our decision-making and our overall happiness.  TWEET: If you have a Plan B, then you’ll be tempted to use it. @paul_ollinger #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Think in decades.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:22] Getting to know Paul [5:46] An interesting career that began at Facebook [9:15] Why Paul bailed on comedy completely for a while [11:55] Why Paul left Facebook [13:03] How Paul came back to comedy [14:51] Feeling compelled to do comedy [17:37] Taking a high-level view [20:22] Not keeping still [21:59] What work really is [24:55] The most surprising thing Paul has learned [28:43] One thing Paul would like to change [29:58] What’s next for Paul?

It’s here! Episode 200! There are no words for the excitement I feel in reaching this milestone. Thank you for whatever part you’ve played in helping us get here, whether you’re a past guest, a faithful supporter, or a brand-new listener. I’m glad you’re on this journey with me! As we wrap up Season 2 and look toward a new season, there will be inevitable changes as we move forward. One of those will be incorporating bonus material from our Behind-the-Scenes interviews into each show to help you get to know each guest a little better. As a prelude to this change, I’m beginning today’s show by answering some sample questions. You’ll hear what I wished I had learned in school, the number one item on my bucket list, who I would choose for TIME magazine’s person of the year, and what idea of mine might make $1 million one day.  Speak up! Are you a “feedback” kind of person? So many people aren’t! They think that they are just one voice that can’t possibly make a difference, but that is SO wrong. The very fact that this podcast has progressed to Episode 200 is a testament to the power of positive feedback. Let someone know if their creation in any form has helped, encouraged, informed, or inspired you. It’s so important, and it may be just the word they need to keep going. You may not think you can make a difference, but, trust me, having “feedback people” in your corner is a godsend.  TWEET: There have been moments when I didn’t think anyone was listening to the podcast. #chasingdreams Motivation, not money Have you ever thought about what it takes to secure guests for a podcast? It’s not an easy thing to do! I noticed (on our way to #200) that I had an abundance of guests talking about their businesses, and I realized that that’s not what I intend the show to be about. I don’t want to have a guest simply for the sake of filling a spot on the show, but I want to feature people who are chasing their dreams---not just chasing money. My purpose is to highlight the motivation that it takes to pursue a dream. TWEET: Financial accounting and management should be taught in high school, not college. #chasingdreams Top 5 lessons from our guests As we looked back over 200 episodes, what are the best pieces of advice given by our guests? We put together a list of the top 5---and here they are! 5. Mentorship: the need for someone to guide and help 4. (tie) Stay true to yourself: be honest about your dream 3. Write down your dreams: this makes it more real 2. Have courage: this is easy to say, but tough to do 1. Go for it: the world needs what you have to offer TWEET: Every dream starts with a small step: don’t think you have to begin with a big jump! #chasingdreams   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:33] My answers to behind-the-scenes questions [5:56] When I felt like quitting [9:25] The journey to 200 [11:14] Chasing dreams--not money [12:53] What I’ve learned from my guests [21:35] A time and a season for change   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Aimee on Facebook Aimee on Twitter Aimee on Instagram Aimee on LinkedIn   TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: Compliments and feedback are fuel for the fire to keep going. #chasingdreams TWEET: Rethinking and making changes are part of life. #chasingdreams TWEET: It’s not about the destination, but about the journey and the purpose. #chasingdreams

Sometimes all it takes are the right words from the right person to boost your courage and give you permission to take radical steps. Such is the experience of today’s guest, a dream chaser whose path has been anything but ordinary. Diana Cheruvil is a dynamic and goofy human whose life has been a series of fortunate events. She’s passionate about connecting with people, understanding global perspectives with a focus on local community, and striving for the greater good. She loves to build and nurture relationships in ways that bring others’ most authentic selves to the forefront. Diana’s career spans 12 years of diverse communications and marketing experience that has taken her from Detroit to NYC to South America, and back to Detroit. She has an insatiable appetite for travel, loves her super cool friends and family, gives great hugs, and has very nice hair. Following the shiny, bright object When do you know it’s time to pivot? For Diana, it was clear. She studied pharmacy at the University of Michigan, and even though she loved the subject area, her heart was not into the academics. It was clear that a pivot was in order, and her parents made the decision for her to leave college and come home. Knowing this experience would NOT be the one to stop her, she explored, settling on communications and marketing for her next endeavor. For her, living and working in NYC was always the “shiny, bright object at the end of the tunnel,” so she ran toward it. TWEET: If you fail, you fail - but fail forward. #chasingdreams Taking a chance Is it WHAT you know, or WHO you know? Diana moved to NYC (kinda on a whim), and her dreams became a reality. She says we need to realize that we don’t always have to follow a conventional path when it comes to jobs. Often it comes down to the connections you make that can be the most powerful and most impactful. Being backed by people who support you and believe in you makes ALL the difference. Creating strong relationships can help you get to where you’re going.  TWEET: “It is NEVER too late. There is so much benefit in taking a leap because you never know what will happen.” #chasingdreams What Diana learned from NYC and South America Can you look back at steps in your life and recount the lessons learned? Diana had many lessons to learn as she worked her way up from an intern to be the head of a department. She learned that one person CAN change things and make a big difference. Spending almost 10 years in NYC left her stagnant and tired, and she was dissatisfied and burned out. Her dad advised her to have courage and be bold enough to give herself permission to change her life---so she did. She spent time in South America teaching English and traveling around. This time helped her change her perspective to one of desiring a simpler life and realizing that she is capable of SO much more than what she ever imagined.  TWEET: It’s never about what you know, but it’s about the connections you make. #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”It is NEVER too late. There is so much benefit in taking a leap because you never know what will happen.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [:38] What young Diana wanted to be [3:24] Diverse career paths [5:53] Diana’s adventures on the way to NYC [9:00] Taking a chance [9:44] The connections you make [10:41] NYC: everything she wanted it to be [13:44] What NYC taught Diana [19:15] Advice from her dad [20:41] Where you find joy [23:24] How doors open [26:16] How parents don’t always make it easy [27:03] Taking the leap to South America [28:58] Rejuvenated and evolved [31:23] A simple story that’s not simple [32:58] How people thought Diana was crazy [35:10] Not allowing others’ opinions to stop her [37:52] Diana today: in a season of growth [38:42] ONE action for a dream chaser RESOURCES MENTIONED: Diana on Facebook Diana on Instagram Diana on LinkedIn To join our Fundathon: http://aimeej21.com/donate   TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: I have a real appreciation for the things that really matter, and they aren’t fame or money. #chasingdreams TWEET: I tried to identify where I find joy because that was what was lacking for me. #chasingdreams

It's impossible to overstate the importance of being a great leader when you're working to build a team or an organization into something that will change the world and make things better for people. Today's guest Andrei Mincov founded Trademark Factory in 2013 to help entrepreneurs secure the legacy of their brands and preserve their hard work. Teams As you grow your team, as you grow your business, as you grow your dream, as you grow your vision, there comes a time when the leader can't come up with all the ideas. In order for the organization to grow, leaders need team members who help generate ideas and who provide initiative to improve things. You'll likely have some team members who simply have marching orders or tasks. Others will be responsible to help you move the organization forward. Those team members will have to have vision. They'll operate from your inspiration. Hiring Finding those visionary team members is different than hiring task-based team members. Andrei uses small, unique tasks to help make hiring decisions simpler. He might, for example, offer a jpeg with a typo or error in it and ask prospective employees to find the error. The intention would be to measure the candidate's attention to detail. He might also ask the candidate to build a video or a graphics project. This process helps him narrow the field because not every candidate is willing to jump through the required hoops to get the job. It also helps him determine who actually has the necessary skill set to accomplish the work. Without poring over countless resumes and applications he can narrow the field to the best candidates. If candidates aren't excited enough, in the beginning, to show you what they can do for you, how excited will they be after they are hired? [Tweet "It's hard to hire from a bunch of unknowns, but it's much easier to select employees from a smaller number of candidates you've already seen in action. #HiringLeaders"] Growth Leaders must have a compelling vision in order to grow a company. They should also likely have a track record of successfully accomplishing goals. Conveying thoughts and messages won't be enough to lead well. Leadership demands action and results. People will follow leaders who have vision and a successful track record. The better your business and the better your track record, the more likely you are to attract great people to surround you. Andrei shared that animals in the zoo don't care about ticket sales. They care about food and comfort and safety. Your team members are similar in that they care about basic things like provision and comfort. While you probably want them to have full ownership in your business, they likely never will. Your role is to provide enough vision for them to recognize that aligning themselves with your goal will benefit them personally. Building Smaller companies often fail to see that they are capable of building something that matters. They may have a really cool team or a really cool business and they assume it's a fluke. They don't take themselves seriously enough to worry about protecting their businesses. What steps would you take to protect yourself and your business if you knew that you would definitely succeed? This issue boils down to leadership, because if you don't have a vision of growing your company into something substantial, you'll miss an opportunity. Great leaders like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos know that they are building something that can change the world. They are building something that will help a bunch of people do a bunch of great stuff. When you have a vision toward the path to greatness, people will follow you. Do something that people will remember years from now.

Need ideas on monetization strategies? Listen in as we talk to today's guest about analyzing different monetization strategies for her online business. On air with us today is a returning guest and Caregiver Advocate, Elizabeth Miller. Elizabeth helps overwhelmed & stressed family caregivers find time for themselves and the things they love. She initially launched as Savvy Sandwicher in Feb 2015 on SquareSpace, then joined the Flip Your Life community in October and participated in our mastermind, which led her to do a re-brand early 2016. Her website, Happy Healthy Caregiver, is where she launched her products and her support community for caregivers craving work-life balance. She has tons of content, offers, and some members. Elizabeth has already earned some money, but is looking into monetizing the brand even more and be able to work on her online business full-time. With a network and speaking engagements lush with prospects, we analyze which route would lead to a more stable, recurring income. We've seen Elizabeth take action before and it's brought her some success, now join us as we help her take even more action to get her online business to the next level.

Success Story of the Week: This week's success story from our Success Story Forum in the Flip Your Life community, is from Rachel, and Rachel's subject line reads, "414 Email Subscribers in Just Three Weeks," and we've got a smiley face emoticon. Rachel says, "In the last three weeks, I have done two webinars.  The first webinar, I grew my email list from 0 to 232.  I just finished my second webinar, and I now have 414 email subscribers.  I'm not in any paying ads, just sharing things on Facebook groups.  This is very encouraging.  I think I will keep doing webinars." And you know, this is something we teach in our Flip Your Life membership in the Flip Your Life blueprint is how to get emails, how to go out and find subscribers, how to find your perfect customer, and put yourself out there to do it. A lot of times, people have all the puzzle pieces, and they're just not taking action. We just want to congratulate Rachel today.  She took action, that is why she went from zero email subscribers to 414 email subscribers in just three weeks. If you are having trouble growing your list, if you are not quite getting the following that you would want to do, maybe you need to do some webinars, maybe need to take action like Rachel, or maybe you need to jump in the community with Rachel, and learn how you can do it, too. We would love to help you write the success story for your online business. At the end of today's show, head over to flippedlifestyle.com/flipyourlife where you can learn more about building and growing a successful online business with the help of our Flip Your Life community. Can't Miss Moment: Today's Can't Miss Moment is our children's first day of school. Isaac was going to a new school, he was super nervous, and we were able to be there for him.

The power of social media is at its peak now more than ever. As online entrepreneurs, we must learn how it works and how we can take advantage of it. Listen in on this episode to learn how to use social media platforms to grow your online membership community. We have another fantastic guest on the show today who's serving his community in a truly meaningful way. Flipping his life and online business to the next level is FYL community member & Church Tech Specialist, Paul Clifford. Paul has been married to his wife, Christina, for 18 years. They have two kids: Trinity and Ellie. He has been called to serve since his teenage years, but was unsure how to fulfill this purpose until he became Church Technician. He is an expert in a church presentation software -- ProPresenter, and has created several courses on it. Being a church tech is quite a lonely vocation, but Paul was dedicated to creating a platform by which he can help others like himself to provide high quality church presentations in order to improve the service experience. He started his online venture in February 2011 and has significantly grown his online presence and credibility. He has also created books and multiple courses that would lead his audience towards his online membership. Paul has already gotten his first 12 members. The questions now is, how do we ramp it up to 100? Join us as we help Paul understand the push and pull behind social media platforms, how to use that to his advantage and win the sales-numbers game. The conversation is fun and easy to digest, if you're looking into taking your online business to the next level without all the crazy jargon, we got you covered -- so don't miss this!

Success Story of the Week: Today's success story comes from Lea, and it is an awesome success story because we get so wrapped up as entrepreneurs in the money and in growing our memberships, and growing our businesses that we forget that our online business is changing people lives, are changing the world and that is what this one is about.  The subject for this success story is, "Making an impact." Lea posted: "It's not often that we hear how we are impacting lives through the content and teachings we offer.  I just had the best conversation with one of my followers.  She told me that my recent blog post, 'Seven ways parents can help teens find their passion,' helped her reconnect with her daughter in a spectacularly meaningful way.  She downloaded the lead magnet, and use the questions there as conversation starters to help her kid figure out what she really cared about.  It brought to light a lot of the things mom didn't know about her teenager, and helped the daughter really feel better about her own path. The best part: the mom cried when she told me that it brought her closer to her teen.  Their relationship has been strained for years, and this left them both feeling great.

Need help with goal setting and focus on your online business? Listen in as we discuss this topic to help today's guest. Stepping up to take action are Flip Your Life community members & best friends, Kellie & Randi. The dynamic duo currently are full-time working professionals, married, and each have three children. Kellie works as a health psychologist, while Randi is a CPA/college professor. A few years ago, they became super interested in nutrition and healthy living, so they obtained a health coach certification. After multiple life events, the constant juggling of family and career life balance, they are now ready to dedicate themselves to turning their online business dreams into a reality. They are just finalizing their website, and haven't built a significant online presence yet at this point, but are determined to create a platform where they can have a broader reach and help women develop a healthy habit change. The struggle now is which path to take, since health is just too broad a target. Join us as we help Randi and Kellie align their goals, maximize content effectivity, and tips on how to start their own podcast where they can support women in the throes of work and motherhood.

Success Story of the Week: This week's success story comes from Veronica Lopez, who has been on the podcast before.  She writes in the success story forum, "I have a huge success story.  My automated webinars are working.” Veronica says, "In January, I posted a rant/rave encouraging everyone to dive into webinars.  I recently had a chance to speak to Shane and Jocelyn in a podcast episode, and my action step was related to diving into automated webinars.  I jumped in with Easy Webinar on Monday evening.  The platform is pretty easy, it took me a day to play around with the system, re-record my webinar and set up a Facebook ad to send people to register for it.  The first automated webinar ran last night, and another one ran tonight.  I had six attendees and two sales from the training. I had another sale just from the ad.  That's three sales on a $187 course. Basically, the software and the ad is now paid for, and the rest will be profit. If you have a webinar that is working, don't delay.  Get the automated set-up pronto.

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. Having found little information online, she decided to create a place to provide a solid resource for other coaches that she had wished to have while she was just starting out. Kristin wants to take her 6 years old blog a step and a leap further. More than just making some stable and recurring income, she wants to create a place where these professionals can get together and have a community. It's going to be a super action-packed day, AND it's also going to be a lot of fun. Don't miss it!

Success Story of the Week: This week's success story comes from Travis, and the subject line in the Success Forum says, “26 NEW Members! I just gave myself a $754 raise, here's how I did it!” Travis writes, “Hey Flip Your Life family! I did a 2 day push for $1 trials for my drop-shipping course and I'm very pleased with the results. I have 47 sign ups, 26 of those ended up sticking around and it gave me a $754 a month revenue bump! But the most exciting part about this is that my...

My son has always loved Legos. Which is great, because they're a mom-approved toy in our household. Heartily endorsed. I loved Legos as a kid and I love them as a mom. His dad and I are divorced and while the reason has nothing to do with Legos, this shows a difference between our approaches to life. At my house, Legos are stored in big bins and are to play with. Once something's built, which generally takes about 10-20 minutes, my son will take it apart and store all the pieces together with all his other pieces. We do have all the instructions in case he ever wants to put a set together again the way it was sold. But, I'm not sure that's ever happened. Instead, he and his friends make up whatever fantastical creation they want to and then all the parts go back into the bin when they're done. At his dad's house, however, Legos are to put together and display. You follow the directions, assemble the unit and then it stays together on a shelf to admire. A good skill to have, the direction-following, just not where I see the most value in the toy bricks. However, it is how I came to be driving from Indiana to Tennessee yesterday with my car packed to the gills with plastic tubs of assembled Lego structures. His dad wants them to live at my house now and made me promise that they stay assembled. I'm not sure actually I promised that, but there they are all loaded into my car and taking up a surprising amount of room. Like, every single inch of my Forester. At some point in the drive Cody was messing with one of the builds, probably repairing something that had come apart when we loaded the car. And he remarked at how many he has. And he's right, there were a lot. But what was interesting was the conversation that ensued. "Mom, I have an awful lot of Legos don't I?" "Yes, you sure do." "I kind of feel spoiled looking at them all." Long pause. "Mom, am I spoiled?" Actually, yes. You certainly are. We all are. We live in a place in which we're far more privileged than most of the rest of the world. While there are issues with poverty here, and while we're certainly not a wealthy family, you and I, when compared with most of the rest of the world, live in extreme comfort. You have more toys, more food, more privacy, more opportunities, more space and more comfort than others. You don't really hurt for anything. If you want something, you can either work for it, or I can buy it. Not that you have everything you want, but you have so much more than most. In some respect, that's a disadvantage to you. You don't have to try as hard. You don't have to be as creative, as resourceful and as scrappy. However, that being said, spoiled is also an attitude. You can choose to act spoiled or not to. There are ways to have things and not be spoiled. This conversation about stuff, while short, was really important. I told you last week I was releasing my hold on my stuff. I'm in the midst of a radical closet purge. Trying to get rid of enough things that I can eliminate nine lineal feet of dresser space and still fit everything easily in a 6' reach-in closet. I'm well on the way there. Ever since that I release moment, it's been pretty easy to get rid of things. There have been a few instances in my life where I felt an internal switch flip. This was one of those moments. I'm done being a slave to stuff. I want to look in my closet, my room and my home and feel expansiveness, space, clarity, adventure, ease and freedom. I want to know that what I have is used, valued and useful, but held loosely. I've also been doing Whole30 this month. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's essentially a real food short term elimination diet. That means I've cut out all sugar, grains, beans, processed food, alcohol and dairy for the month. When I talk to someone who's never heard of it, I can see them calculating and their eyes getting big as they think about what they ate in the last few days and the implications set in. Basically, I eat meat, eggs, vegetables and some fruit and seeds and nuts and healthy fats like coconut, avocado and olives. All real food. For 30 days. Most people look at me like I'm crazy. No soda? No desserts? No cheese? No...whatever their food vice of choice is? Nope. How can you do that? I could never do that! Well, sure you could. First of all, it's only 30 days. Second, unless I'm in the midst of a cookie or chip or ice cream craving (which does happen occasionally), I don't see it as deprivation. But, when I tell someone that, I get more incredulous looks. How can you possibly not see it as deprivation? I'll give you an example. I went camping this month. It was a retreat getaway with a friend and I wanted her to feel spoiled and pampered. She's in that toddlers-at-home and work-full-time phase of life and just needed a break from her world for a few days. So, I planned and cooked. When I sent her the menu, her response was, "Wow, we're going to eat like queens!" We had chicken fajita bowls, grilled sweet potato wedges tossed with salt and lime zest, grilled peaches, an egg scramble with chorizo, peppers, onions and potatoes, pulled pork lettuce wraps with avocado aoili, steak and herb roasted potatoes and cinnamon cooked apples and pears. This is good food, friends. This isn't deprivation. I don't feel deprived. I feel protected from all the chemicals and fake stuff I've eaten for years and years. And I feel better than I ever have before. I've told you three stories today. My son's Lego question about being spoiled, my closet purge and how I've eaten this month. I'm struck by how we tend to fight against limitation. Don't put limits on me. Don't tell me what I can and can't do. And voluntarily live within limits? Unthinkable. I want you to understand that the constraints on your life aren't the problem. They aren't spoiling your life. They aren't limiting your freedom, happiness and contentment. Only you can do that. Only you can limit your happiness and contentment. Constraints actually allow us to prosper. Guard rails are there not to limit your freedom, but to protect your course. Within constraints, creativity flourishes. It's not about how many Legos my son owns or doesn't own. It's the conversations about how he relates to the things he owns that's crucial. It's not about how much I purge from my closet or my home. It's about the things that stay and my attitude towards them. Do I clench them tightly or are they held loosely? Do I control them or do they control me? It's not about what I can't eat. It's about what I choose to put in my body and why. It's not about the limitations in your life. It's about your life within whatever limitations are present. Quit spending your energy fighting the limitations. Whether they're emotional, relational, financial, career or something else. In the immortal words of Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge and with a nod of great respect to all US Marines. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Look at what you do have. What is possible. Find options. Create freely and wildly. Live gloriously within whatever limitations you have chosen or been given. Life can be had there. But, you need to choose to live it. [Tweet "It's not about the limitations in your life. It's about your life within whatever limitations are present."] Episode Artwork This week's piece is called Sea Glass. I set some limitations on how I went about it. I keep my painted paper for collage in a 10 drawer rolling cabinet. I had my son choose a number corresponding to a paper drawer. I could only use pieces from that drawer and only straight lines. He happened to choose one of the drawers with the least amount of variety which made it harder. What's interesting is that last week, I had no limitations. Anything goes. No initial plan. No rules. Intuition only. This week, with the limitations I set, I struggled less and enjoyed the process more. Whether it's a better piece is a whole different discussion. There are some limitations that are really difficult. I have a friend who will be in cancer treatments for the rest of her life. And she's having to deal with finding a new normal and living within new physical limitations. Not all limitations are as easy as my closet and my food. I understand that. But, whatever yours are. What if you took your eyes off the limitation and focused instead on life? Episode Downloads Want to process the ideas in this podcast further?

My family always laugh at me because Bandit, of course, was our "free" dog.  He has now cost us probably thousands of dollars.  He went from just hanging out around our house like you could see his bones, and he is now receiving a BarkBox subscription every single month. We didn't want him to be lonely.  Shane thought it would be a good idea to get Coco, and Coco is actually a purebred chocolate lab, and we got her from a breeder in town.  She has been just the most adorable thing ever. My reason for this being a Can't Miss Moment is not only is she adorable and our kids love her - it is like the joy of their life right now - but also because dogs are expensive.  I don't know if we could have afforded dogs before. We have spent so much money on vets and doctors and dog houses, and kennels and cages and toys.  I'm not exactly sure if we could have even gotten those, especially a bred dog like this that cost a few hundred dollars ourself.

Need ideas on growing your sales funnel using Facebook Live? Listen in as we help today's guest take her online business to the next level with available strategic tools like Facebook Live. On this week's episode, we have returning guest and super active Flip Your Life member, Karim Morato. Karim is a certified Spanish teacher who created her own website, Homeschool Spanish Curriculum, to make learning Spanish simple and meaningful for homeschooled students. She was featured on the show 8 months ago, when we helped her build the foundations for her online membership. Karim was also an active participant in our exclusive member mastermind. This helped her build a more interactive online platform to showcase her Spanish teaching expertise that attracted more homeschoolers to sign up as members. She recently started using Facebook Live to try and grow her leads through ads and by conducting short webinars. She is also developing a new course that she believes would branch out to a new set of learners, but needs more insight on how to pitch it in the right direction. Join us as we help Karim analyze options and see if a re-launch is what her online business needs to take it to the next level. Another information-packed episode, you do not want to miss!

Can't Miss Moment Today's Can't Miss Moment is a snow day with the kids.  So far, we only actually had one snow day here in Kentucky.  But when we had that day, it was pretty awesome just to not have to worry about trying to find somebody to watch our kids, or having to take a day off work because the kids were at home.  Instead, we were able to stay right here in the house, we didn't have to get out where it was cold and yucky, and it was super, super cold that day.  Like, 10°F, something like that.  It was nice just to hang out here.  We did different things.  We did a snow day packet with the kids.  It's like work from school.  It we were able to work on that with them.  We played some computer games, because we're nerds like that.  It was a great day.

Celebrating the New Year with a Success Story! Hey y'all! We wanted to start 2017 with a shout out to all our members, fans, listeners… all of you who have supported us through thick and thin, Happy New Year! Our first episode is an amazing success story from one of our FYL community members, Marnie Ginsberg, Ph. D. Marnie lives with her husband and 3 wonderful daughters in Madison, WI. She has been deeply involved with educational research and has been a teacher for about 20 years; her research focused on strategies to nurture readers and help them overcome learning hurdles. She also became a private tutor and consultant. Her passion and dedication led her to pursue her doctoral studies at the University of North Carolina, where she coached and guided teachers through a unique and dynamic K-2 reading intervention. This brought in promising results from students who struggled in reading and comprehension. Mrs. Ginsberg had long been intrigued by the online business scene. She has been building her blog and email list since 2015 and by October 2016, she had managed to reach a thousand subscribers. She then co-founded the Reading Simplified Academy and was successful in her recent membership launch. Join us as we talk about Marnie's amazing journey. How did she reach her milestone, what did it take to be where she is today and the lessons she had learned along the way. We will also be brainstorming on how she can retain members and maintain the membership. The year has just begun. We have a lot in store for y'all!

Well, Isaac will tell you he didn't like it because it was for girls, you know?  But he really secretly did.  And it was a good time.  We just enjoyed – just watching the ballet. I've never been to like an actual ballet aside from like Anna's little girl recital type stuff.  So it was really cool to see these people. This is what they spend their life doing and they were really talented and the costumes were just beautiful.  And it was just something just fun to do that none of us had ever experienced before.” You can connect with S&J on social media too!   Thanks again for listening to the show!

Not too long ago, they had some testing and after their testing, depending on what scores they get, they have a wall of handprints where the children can put their handprint on if they receive distinguished scores. I was able to take some time off, go up to his school and I was able to see him actually put his handprint up on the wall for scoring those distinguished scores. It just means so much to him to have me there at his school, just to support him and be there when he's there.  He thinks that's really cool.  So, I'd love to be able to go there from time to time and volunteer.” You can connect with S&J on social media too!   Thanks again for listening to the show!

Thinking of transitioning into a membership model? Listen in on today's episode as we help our guest set up his online membership to build recurring income. Joining us today for a round of Q&A is Flip Your Life community member, Sam Feeney. Initially an English teacher, Sam got his degree to become a high school student counselor.

He does one-on-one counseling online to provide peace of mind for parents who have children applying for college, or those already in college and are undecided with what major to take, and those who need guidance in their career selection process. Today, we'll discuss how to set up his membership, turn his seasonal one-off product into a recurring demand and so much more. You don't want to miss this episode!

Marketing sucks for (most) WordPress developers. Two major issues being there's not enough time to do it, and there's a certain stigma that it becomes to sales-y.  Throughout my travels, I've noticed a lot developers that have successful products — still — are afraid to really build up the marketing arm of their business. Even when they know they need to do it, they become paralyzed to take action. Today I'm stoked to interview Tonya Mork, electrical engineer & software engineer since the mid-80's, experienced with managing multi-million dollar robotic projects, and now recently launching Know the Code membership site on today's show. Hands down, this is one of my top shows of 2016. Tonya brings a wealth of knowledge and actionable advice that will inspire you to get out there and conquer your business — or at the very least — today's to-do list. Take action in your business with Tonya Mork We wear many different hats as freelancers & boutique agency owners. You might be developing and designing a website, but you also need to market yourself as the complete solution to continually attract customers. That is to say, you have no choice but to dive into some facet of marketing and promoting yourself, if you want to build a sustainable business. What's the best way to do that? Tell your story. Be different. [Tweet “It's not about your framework or what your dev environment looks like, it's what makes you — you.”] And guess what, it's not which framework you use or what your dev environment looks like, it's what makes you — you. Here's an example: At my studio, we're just as capable as the next agency, but I don't focus on that. I focus on the fact that we're a family owned business with a small team, working out of the same office. That customer service comes before our development prowess, and that building a trusting long-term relationship is paramount to success. Oh, and we also get the job done. Sure, we sprinkle in our technical know-how and send over referrals, but I want customers to understand who we are and how we operate first and foremost as what sets us apart. What makes you different? Some might look at what I just mentioned as a weakness — and they very well could be to a variety of potential clients — but it works for us. It defines us and defines the vertical of clients we like to serve. So what about you? What chapter in your journey can you polish off and display to your would-be customers? Dig deep and find the uniqueness in you and your organization. Get the eyeballs on your (membership) website that you deserve All of this boils down to trust. As Tonya puts it in this interview, building trust is the first step to driving traffic. The more you can do for other people and serving them, the better you do at gaining that trust. Tell your story and take action — no one else is going to do it for you. It's also just as important to focus on your customer's story as well. Listen to their needs and be open to working with them at a new capacity. I know that systemizing and productizing are all the rage right now, but sadly, we can't fit every project into the same template.

  On today's show Rosetta chats with Patrice Grell Yursik, founder of Afrobella. She's a passionate entrepreneur and part of the Happy Black Woman tribe. With a flourishing business celebrating its 10th year, Patrice is the perfect person to share tips and inspiration to help you follow your passion and purpose. With a background in creative writing, Patrice spent many years working for large newspapers. While she enjoyed her work, she came face to face with a noticeable void in the media - one shaped like her. Patrice sought positivity in the media and so she decided to pursue her passion and create Afrobella. She's been featured in Essence, Ebony, Glamour, and many other major media outlets. In her chat with Rosetta, Patrice offers great insight into how she turned her passion into a full time job. [Tweet "How Patrice Grell Yursik Took @Afrobella From a Part-Time Passion to a Full-Time Business"] The evolution of Afrobella from part-time passion pursuit to full-time career. Patrice was working full-time in a career she enjoyed. But when she noticed what was truly lacking in the media, Patrice was inspired to take action. With the urging of a close friend, she came up with her brand and (thanks in part to her husband) the name “Afrobella” was born. Patrice's mission: to empower women to love themselves, live their best lives, and embrace their beauty on their own terms. From its whimsical beginnings, Afrobella has truly evolved into a flourishing business and to go-to source for beauty tips. Called by many as the “Godmother of Brown Beauty Blogging” Patrice has become a public figure and has received accolades for her work including being included in the list of Ebony Magazine's Power 100. Since its launch 10 years ago, Afrobella.com has seen over 11 million page views. Finding your niche and letting it shine. Although Patrice didn't start out as a beauty expert, her platform and brand have certainly established her as one. She shares how you too can find your niche and let your skills shine. It's all about believing in yourself and going after your passion with everything you've got. Patrice explains how the quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” has played a key role in her journey. After starting Afrobella in 2006, Patrice was able to quit her job just 3 years later. As she shares her inspiring journey, she points out that if she can do it, you can too. A perpetual act of rising to the occasion. As Patrice takes us through the process of launching her website and eventually becoming a public figure, she shares insight into the steps you can take to turn your passion into a career. Patrice delves into the process of establishing yourself as an expert in your field and how that can translate into much success - in any niche. As she strives to balance a busy business and family life, Patrice uses productivity tools to keep herself focused and makes sure to start her day centered and grounded. Embrace a spirit of community instead of a spirit of competition. In her journey as Afrobella, Patrice Grell Yursik certainly faced obstacles, fear, and uncertainty. In spite of - and sometimes because of - those things, she found success in a career that fulfills her and brings her happiness. As Rosetta closes her conversation with Patrice, they discuss the importance of maintaining balance, finding inspiration around you, and following your passion - even when it scares you. Patrice's story is the stuff happy black women are made of. She's found her way to happiness - and you can too. You'll find inspiration and empowerment on this episode of Happy Black Woman.

Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. We are very glad to be with you again this week. We have not had a podcast out in a week or two because we have been very, very, very sick. I got pneumonia for a couple of weeks, and Jocelyn just battled through bronchitis. Jocelyn is here and alive. JOCELYN: Yeah, barely and I still am not 100% well so, my voice may sound a little crazy. SHANE: And you may get a little coughing in this episode because we both are still kind of getting over that. The kids have been sick; it's just been a rough, rough November. We've been passing it around the house; all you guys who are parents and have kids, you know what it's like. Once somebody gets sick in the house, it just passes around for months it seems like. But we are feeling a lot better, we are very happy to be back with you again today, and we've got a great topic.

  In today's episode of The Happy Black Woman Podcast, we have the honor of speaking with Molesey Crawford, founder of “The Queen Code,” a personal development community that is changing the lives of women all over the globe. As you listen to this episode you're going to hear how Molesey learned about her own feminine desires and self, how she channeled that into a business that was true to who she really is, and how that business has grown to provide her with the true channel of expression and purpose she was meant to have while providing her and her family with the freedom they enjoy today. Be sure to take the time to listen to this one, it's a real gem. What IS the Queen Code? Molesey's journey toward becoming the founder of the Queen Code has not been overnight or easy. It's through that journey that she discovered the principles of the Queen Code in the first place (as it should be, right?). She believes that there's a feminine evolution happening in the hearts of women all around the globe. Women are beginning to awaken to the truth that they are here for a reason. She believes that women all over the globe are feeling the calling to return, rebirth, reconnect, recover, remember and reclaim their feminine birthright. She desires to support those women on a journey of deep healing and transformation. Hear more of her journey to those realizations and how she's helping women all over the world as you listen to this episode. [Tweet "You need the “know who” before you need the “know how” - @thequeencode"] Finding a mentor early on made all the difference. Molesey's business was still very small and she had almost no money when she first decided to find and pay for a mentor - and she's never regretted it. In fact, that decision was the catalyst to moving her life and business forward in a powerful way. She started with $10 a month as part of a coaching program and now has elevated her involvement with her coach to a much higher level, and it's continued to reap great rewards. If you're stuck, needing help, or even moving backwards in your entrepreneurial or personal development, you may need to take that bold step and find a coach or mentor that fits your lifestyle. These two ladies (Molesey or Rosetta) may be just what you need. Find out more on this episode. [Tweet ""The longer we stay in indecision, the longer we are kept from what we want" - @thequeencode"] Be. Do. Have. That's the sequence in which personal transformation and business success comes. Molesey Crawford has discovered that nobody can have a truly free lifestyle and invigorating business without first going through this necessary sequence. BE - has to do with discovering who you are and what you are passionate about. Only when you function out of the fullness of your identity are you able to bring your intended value to the world. DO - This is the action step, where you put your dreams and calling into action. Most people start here and find themselves spinning their wheels and becoming burned out and frustrated as a result. HAVE - This is the aspect where you begin to receive the fruits of your labors and see the fulfillment of the calling you're acting on. Hear Molesey explain this progression on this episode. Slow down so your blessings can catch you. Too often women are so busy doing that they fail to BE who they truly are. Too often they believe that what they do is what makes them who they are. But the reverse is true. It's time to stop all the hustle and busy-ness so that you can find your true self, learn to do your work out of that place, and see the blessings that flow more naturally as a result. Moseley Crawford has learned these principles and they are what guide her work at The Queen Code. Hear her explain the importance of embracing and applying these concepts on this great episode of The Happy Black Woman, with Rosetta Thurman. [Tweet ""Queens!

In today's Q&A, we are helping Scott understand how landing or squeeze pages work in the real world of online business. Do you have a question you want answered on our podcast? We would love to help you! Click here to ask your question! [Tweet "It's called a landing page is because that's where someone lands on your site. Everyone doesn't find the home page"] Resources Mentioned in this Episode Today's question from Scott at dentavid.com Leadpages   Let's dive into this week's question! JOCELYN: Hey guys, welcome back to the Q&A with S&J. Today's question is from Scott Denton at dentavid.com and Scott says, "Hey guys, I've been learning for two years now and I've created a few websites. I actually help my friends build websites now but there's one thing I still can't get my head wrapped around. How do landing or squeeze pages work? I guess the better question is, how do I implement them? I know the tools but can you give me a step-by-step instruction using a real example? Do you use subdomains or just the lead pages domains etc. Thanks in advance, if you are able to help out. SHANE: All right, the first thing that we want to do is explain to everybody out there what a landing or squeeze page is. The important thing to remember is that a landing page, squeeze page, sales page, everybody throws around all this jargon to make their trainings and courses look at hi-tech and using specific words that mean something. But a landing page, a sales page, and a squeeze page are pretty much all the same thing. JOCELYN: And you don't necessarily have to sell something with these pages. A lot of times, people think that if you make this landing page, you are going to sell something but that's not necessarily true. They are specifically made to get people to take an action. It may be to sign up for something that's free like a free course or a free PDF or something like that or it may be to sell something. So there's different purposes that you can have these landing pages for and what you have to remember is, you have to decide which course of action you want someone to take and you can actually make multiple lead pages – I'm sorry, landing pages for your site. SHANE: So basically the reason it's called a landing page is because that's where someone lands. They click on something, go to that page and they land there so you can convince them to take action. It's called a squeeze page – some people use the term 'squeeze page' because you know, you got them to take – maybe you've got them this far and they are on this page and you've got them, you're squeezing them, you want them to do something. Or, if you are selling something, you can use the terminology, a 'sales page' and there'll be some people that argue semantics with us on this but basically for the most part, they are all three of exact same thing. JOCELYN: All right Scott, so if there's something that we want people to do, we will give them a link and that link will take them to a page on our site such as Flippedlifestyle.com/Flipyourlife and that page we want someone to purchase our e-course. So on that page, there will be a button that leads them to what we want them to do which is to find out more information about the course. Once you click on that button, you'll be taken to a list of options we offer for our course and once you click on one of the options, that's going to take you to an order form where you can give us your payment information. SHANE: So basically you give them the information on the landing page, they go to your offer which could be 'Give me your email for a free e-book' or 'Buy something' and then they buy something. So that's kind of how we implement landing pages. We have kind of created a sequence to move people down the chain. Some people call it a sales funnel where you take a lot of people to your landing page and then they go down to the offer page and then a fewer less people go down and actually buy the produc...
