Brand is everything! Whether in your personal brand or your business brand, defining yourself to your audience is vital. You have to clarify who you are and how you want to be viewed, along with identifying your strengths and weaknesses. We are diving deep in today’s show in learning why your brand is a reflection of you. Thalia Toha is a brand and business strategist for busy entrepreneurs looking to more strategically manage their business and grow their brand. Thalia is currently launching her website, where she shares practical techniques for entrepreneurs looking to get their brand strategically positioned without selling their souls to the expectations of social media. Unlike most brand experts, Thalia does not believe that social media is the be-all and end-all. In her free time, she loves exploring new food trends. Becoming a brand expert What are the brands that stand out in your mind? We can all think of certain brands that have a catchy logo, well-known tagline, or an unforgettable spokesperson. Thalia explains that her path to becoming a brand expert happened organically. Through her work in construction, architecture, and real estate, she was introduced to many national brands. She established relationships with executives and gained momentum through one-on-one work on their business strategy. She says that it’s the people attached to the brand names that make the difference because the brand is a reflection of the person behind the brand. TWEET: “Honesty is a very important currency.” #chasingdreams Defining yourself How would you define yourself? The question isn’t an easy one to answer, but it’s the foundation of Thalia’s work as a brand expert. She describes the three-step process she uses with her clients. The first step is flash-lighting, which means you look to those who know you and see you regularly. Get feedback and information about who you are and what you need to do. The second step is highlighting, in which you look at the feedback received and highlight the aspects of yourself that you most want to display. Thalia says we shouldn’t overlook highlighting our weaknesses because they are the things that make us unique and different. The third step is spotlighting, in which we focus on others, what we have to offer them, and how we can help them be better. TWEET: Just because you CAN do all things doesn’t mean you SHOULD do all things. #chasingdreams When a weakness isn’t a weakness Do you view your weaknesses in a negative light? Thalia says you have to identify and know your weaknesses, but that you shouldn't keep them hidden or be embarrassed about them. A weakness is only a matter of perspective. What you might view as a weakness in yourself might be something that others see in you as a strength.  TWEET: ”Just start. Don’t wait until things are perfect. Movement creates momentum.” #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Just start. Don’t wait until things are perfect.

Have you ever thought, “There's gotta be more to life than this.” There's gotta be more to life than just working and getting that next paycheck. There's gotta be more to life than just grinding your days away for the benefit of someone else. There's gotta be more to life than just sticking through and doing all of these mundane routines. If you have, then you are correct. There really is more to life than just that. We believe that EVERYONE HAS A CALLING, a purpose, and we want you to believe in your purpose too! YOU can change your fate. YOU decide what to do. Open yourself up to all the amazing possibilities because without knowing and understanding these possibilities, you can't act on them. When you do not act, you stay stuck where you are, always wondering what “more” feels like. Find the courage to put yourself out there, follow that tug towards your life's purpose, towards something amazing -- something only YOU can do BECAUSE you are your own person, and no one else can ever be YOU. Whether it be to create, to fix, to teach, to lead, or to listen… We are ALL here to make a difference in the world, and that won't happen unless you break free from your hesitations, the doubts, and the fears. To help you find the inspiration to take your next step is an amazing woman who has gone through and has overcome so many struggles in order to pursue and act on her possibilities. Joining us today is Flip Your Life community member, Wendy Zanders. [Tweet "“We have got to do something different in order to start living a life of purpose.” - Wendy"] Wendy is the wearer of many, many hats. She is a wife, mother, Ex-Unit Supply Specialist and Unit Armorer in the United States Army, Executive Assistant and Project Manager, who was diagnosed with ADD in her mid-thirties after recognizing some of the symptoms from her son's ADHD assessment form. From an outsider's perspective, this highly driven, bubbly and resilient individual, is living what most people would call "a good life". But after an unexpected loss in the family, she fell into a deep depression and all of a sudden everything became a blur. It took a while for her to recognize the symptoms, but she knew something was off. She knew she needed help, so she sought it. The healing process wasn't easy, the battle felt long and hard, but she did it. Nothing is going to hold her down, nothing will dim her light. Wendy wanted to get her life back on track, she made a choice to do everything to make that happen. Things started to fall into place, she learned so many things, and she eventually found her calling as a Professional Home Organizer, and this was how FunctionalOrganizingwithWendy.com was born. Her mission is to share her functional organizing strategies with professional women struggling with ADD, depression, and anxiety so they can enjoy being with their family, love their homes and their careers -- helping them collect memories and not things. Her online business journey has just begun, so we'll be helping her take her online business to the next level by sharing our insight on how to beat imposter syndrome, and how she can confidently embody her brand.

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.

Success Story of the Week: Alright guys, we got a cool success story this week from a Flip Your Life community member named Elle, and Elle posted in our success for them this week and said, "I finished my course." Her actual post title says, "Champagne Moment." Elle says, "It's so great to log in and see so many of you doing well."  She's talking about our Success Forum. "Typically when I'm working on a major project, I go into hiding.  Well, I'm out of the cave, and I wanted to share my champagne moment with you. For the past six months, I had been planning, creating and building my membership site.  Today, I finished the course that is a huge selling point in my membership site. The course consists of five modules with three to five lessons in each module. What a relief and an accomplishment.  Along with a major course, I filmed videos for a video library, created and designed worksheets, and I've recruited four influencers to be interviewed as guests on a recorded Q&A for members. My launch date is coming up soon.  I have 20 people signed up for Beta memberships at a discounted rate." Elle's website: http://www.thenurseconsultantnetwork.com Man, that is an awesome success story that not only has she pre-sold and got all these members and Beta people signed up, but she's done with her course.  That's a huge load off your back when you create something that's evergreen that you can sell for years.

Phillip Lanos is a Los Angeles native. Hyperactive and often pensive, this actor, singer, songwriter, and podcast producer is best experienced in person. Due to his half-Mexican, half-French descent, he’s had opportunities to appear on international Latino TV channels like Telemundo for an American Idol spin-off show named “Yo Soy El Artista.” Phillip has also appeared on MTV’s “Copycat,” which was MTV’s attempt at singing competitions. In the podcasting world, Phillip has worked on over 300 episodes with entrepreneurial clients and journalism greats like Cal Fussman and Martin Perlich, and YouTube influencers like Roger Burnley. Finding a passion. What would you give up to pursue your passion? Phillip has dreamed of an acting and singing career, taken intentional steps and moved across the country to pursue those dreams. When he landed in NYC, he secured a great job with a well-known marketing agency, even though he felt terribly unqualified. He found a mentor, worked hard for success, and was soon offered a great position with a big salary. He turned it down. Why? He didn’t want to “settle” without at least trying something in which he could be his own boss. He walked away from those opportunities to truly pursue his passion. TWEET: I’m tired of doing permanent things with temporary people. @philliplanos Regrouping in a new direction Have you ever had to start over, refocus, and redirect your efforts? Phillip knows what that’s all about. He moved in a new direction by leaving NYC and moving back to Los Angeles. He had to regroup in order to plan for his success. There were certain boxes he wanted to “check” in his life so each plan and strategy had to be tested and measured. He wasn’t looking for one-dimensional success. He has since realized that you can have failure AND success at the same time in different areas of your life. It all comes down to what you’re willing to sacrifice for your dreams. TWEET: #Life won’t let me #fail as long as I put in the #work. @philliplanos Being vulnerable What is your deepest insecurity? For Phillip, it’s the “I’m not good enough” voice. You may think that’s unusual for an actor, but it’s really quite common. Phillip expresses this vulnerability in over-achieving or under-achieving, all in a quest to find balance. Phillip grew up as one of 18 siblings, with parents who weren’t a big part of his life. HIs father was diagnosed with ALS when Phillip was only 8, so he has few memories of good times with his father. Because of his family background, Phillip has keenly felt the need to make his life count. For this reason, he is very intentional about crafting his plan for success. TWEET: My deepest insecurity is that I’m not good enough. @philliplanos Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Do something real and get instant feedback. Take advantage of those lightning strikes that are full of positivity, faith, hope, and potential.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [2:40] How we met at Podcast Movement in California [6:18] Phillip’s passion in chasing the dream [8:32] Why he chose to go to NYC [12:25] When you “talk” yourself into a dream [14:10] Regrouping to find success [16:56] The holistic focus [19:46] Staying active in many areas [24:52] Being “not good enough” [28:16] Talking yourself into a dream in the middle of dark moments [35:10] Being back home [38:01] Phillip’s ONE action for a dream chaser RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Philip’s Website Philip on Instagram Philip on Twitter TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: You’ve got to take a #loss sometimes to know what a #win looks like. @philliplanos TWEET: Just because you thoroughly enjoy something doesn’t mean you’re passionate about it. @philliplanos TWEET: Metaphorically and symbolically, I’ve come back to zero. @philliplanos  

We're going to be bending the rules a little bit this week. In this episode, we introduce the latest addition to the Flipped Lifestyle Team, Kat Jarman. Kat is our FYL Community Manager and she'll be a breath of fresh perspective in our membership forums, as she shares her knowledge and experience to help members get to the next level. She's tried getting her online business off the ground by herself, joined live events, jumped in a membership community full of other online entrepreneurs, hit the peaks and valleys, but most of all, she took massive action. Her online business journey is an amazing testimony of the freedom that lies on the other side of fear and uncertainty. This amazing collaboration, adding Kat's entrepreneurial voice to the chorus within the membership, is going to blow you away.

Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast.  It is great to be back with you again this week.  We have got a different kind of episode for you this week.  This is actually like breaking the rules a little bit but it's our show so we get to break the rules.   Normally, we might have something that is on Jocelyn's and my mind, or we might bring on a member of our Flip Your Life community and help them take their business to the next level.   But we are actually going to have a guest on the program here in a few minutes, and it is our new community manager, Kat.  Before we bring on Kat, we are going to talk a little bit about why we are bringing on a community manager in the first place to help us inside the Flip Your Life community.   For those of you who are in the community, you know that a lot of the members of our team, people that work with us to help us produce the community, produce the podcast are in there helping us get people the answers that they need to take their business to the next level. We felt like it was really important to bring on someone who is a successful entrepreneur, who knew what they were doing with some of the stuff that we were teaching to help everyone else make it to the next level, too.   Jocelyn: At first, when we first started out our community, Shane and I were answering pretty much every single post.  We still answer as many as we can, but as the community is growing, it has gotten harder and harder for us to do that.  We want to make sure that there is still a voice in ther...

We are super pumped to introduce you guys to Lynda & Kevin Malleck, our Flip Your Life community members and wonder couplepreneur behind the healthy lifestyle kitchen website - themalleckfamily.com Kevin & Lynda live just outside of Washington, DC in northern Virginia. They have been married for over 17 years and are the parents to a sweet teenage boy named Colin. Lynda's background originally started in education, but she later shifted her interest to business. Kevin, on the other hand, is an awesome Head Chef, who at some point even managed his own restaurant. Lynda realized that they had to reassess their current lifestyle after her sister had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. They decided that it was time to focus on living a healthier lifestyle and make wiser food  choices. This was when Kevin brilliantly created delicious dishes that were way healthier than their traditional counterparts, and they soon found themselves losing weight almost effortlessly. They documented this transition and had set up a website to host their blog and sell their cookbooks. They had sold paperback versions of their cookbooks and are now looking into generating a steady income stream by offering their digital products as well. They also  want to show Colin the limitless possibilities that online business creates, and encourage him to become an entrepreneur too. Which brings us to the question at hand. What should they focus on to build the business to fit the membership model? We're going to dive in deep and share insight on how to attract your avatar with your own unique backstory, where to get emails for your email list, how to  overcome brand identity problems and a whole lot more.

JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to a Q&A with S&J. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys? Welcome back to the Expert Q&A with S&J. This is where members of our Flip Your Life community get to submit questions about their online business and we go find answers from the best experts online. Jocelyn and I are always upfront and say we do not have all the answers but, we do know where to go find them. Today's question is about video and there is nobody else on the planet that I would rather ask a video question to than our guest today; it is Amy Schmittauer. Amy, welcome to the show. AMY: Well hello, what a kind, kind thing to say Shane. SHANE: We have a lot of love for Amy Schmittauer; I'm just saying. AMY: What a stroke for the ego SHANE: That's right, exactly. Bring the value now, bring the value to us. JOCELYN: And some people, you know, we give them the questions ahead of time but not Amy. SHANE: Not Amy – JOCELYN: She's such a pro – SHANE: She's so good, we said, you know what, we're just gonna drop the bomb on her. AMY: And if people send me questions in advance, I'm like, oh, I feel like I'm studying for a test. SHANE: I know. AMY: I can't do it. Just on the fly, I'll have the answers. SHANE: That's right, organic. Everything is organic right here. AMY: Totally. SHANE: Really we just have no time to prep but that's beside the point. All right Jocelyn, let's go with today's question. JOCELYN: All right, today's question is from Brad, one of our Flip Your Life members, and Brad says, “How long should my videos be? All the videos I watch on YouTube seem to be long, but a lot of experts say you should keep it short. Which one is it and what works best?” SHANE: This is very confusing because – it is true, when I read this question, I was like you know, that's true; seems like I'm always trying to learn something that's like 20-minute videos. But then I always hear, “Three to five minutes, get it out there and get it quick” kinda deal. So what do you think about that? AMY: Well it's funny – Brad, really, really good question because that's absolutely right. We are constantly kind of fielding the search results to find the video that's going to be best for us in that moment and no one is saying, “Man, I really hope I find a solid 25-minute video on this.” SHANE: That's right. AMY: No one is doing that. Now, it depends on the situation, it depends on the content; I mean, if it's an intense tutorial, then maybe you do need every minute of that. But I tend to tell people, you know, if you're creating informational content on YouTube, you really want to be between two and five minutes. If you think about the fact that you can inject so much copy into your headline, your description, your tags and you can rank really well for something; but if you end up on the results page with a video that's seven minutes and yours is twenty, and you're supposed to be accomplishing the same thing in that amount of time, you're just not gonna be the option that people choose. So it's really sort of a human SEO factor that I like to talk about is you can tell YouTube how to rank you, but according to the human that sees you when sea...

Shooting for the architect may center around materials. Peter's projects range in scale from a kitchen to a 30-story building Each image can take a few hours to set up, yielding only a few images per day High Dynamic Range (HDR) composites in Photoshop “You can't turn garbage into a masterpiece.” —Peter Kubilus ← Click to Tweet Center for Architecture, American Institute of Architects (AIA) NY Ch, The Architectural League of New York 200 Lexington, D&D Building “Networking was what really initially launched my career.” —Peter Kubilus ← Click to Tweet Felix Sockwell, Illustrator, and past guest on The Busy Creator “Opportunity + Preparation = Success” ← Click to Tweet “Just because I'm not out in the field shooting doesn't mean I'm not working.” —Peter Kubilus ← Click to Tweet  Peter Kubilus on Twitter  Peter Kubilus on Facebook  Peter Kubilus on Instagram  Peter Kubilus on LinkedIn Tools Canon 5D Mk-III Photoshop Lightroom Dropbox Constant Contact Paperless Post MailChimp Techniques Take a walk-through of a built space before you photograph Ask the architect questions — he or she knows the plan inside and out Find the right angle, then strip out extraneous material that might distract from the shot Take point-and-shoot photos during a walkthrough Don't allow objects in a shot to overlap. This may require micro-rotations. Stage the room first, then light it Take multiple shots at different exposures so you can built it later in Photoshop as needed Get the image right “in the camera” so you only have to spend 20–30 minutes in Photoshop Use Lightroom to pare down your images. Then bring to Photoshop for retouching. Deliver files via Dropbox rather than FTP. Attend networking events, even as frequently as 4 days a week. Use email newsletters rather than mini-portfolios — at least you can track who opens emails Have a website with portfolio samples Spend 30 minutes a week on LinkedIn Wake up early and do those digital time-wasters before you start work Use an assistant for shoots Habits Maintain a presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook fan pages Backup your files immediately after connecting your camera Try Audible.com Free for 30-Days Visit BusyCreatorBook.com for your free trial Get Digital Photography Guide by Larry Hall as a free audiobook
