Want to know more about purchase order sales? Purchase order driven sales might be a way to grow your online business. Let's listen in and learn from today's episode. Our guest today is a good friend of ours, FYL community member and School Counselor. We have the ever Passionate Action Taker, Misty. Misty is a school counselor in one of the districts in southeastern Kentucky. She is married and is a mother to 2 lovely girls, aged 4 and 6. Wanting to spend more time with her family, she tried doing several business ventures, but found it too exhausting to juggle her side hustle, family, and career. Shifting to online business After listening to our podcasts, she decided that she wanted her family to experience amazing can’t miss moments too, and invested in herself and joined our online community. By 2016, she had learned how to use Canva to create content and sold her first digital product on a third party market. She felt more and more empowered because of her new found sense of creativity. After creating enough content and proving her credibility, she went on to launch her website where she can showcase her skills and expertise, School Counselor World. Here, she provides community support and digital resources to fellow school counselors, helping them fulfill the variety of roles you didn’t know school counselors were expected to fill. She now has a thriving community of 30+ paying members, tons of thoughtfully organized content, and over 4,000 email subscribers. Her numbers are growing steadily, but how will she 5x or 10x this? Join us as we dive deep on purchase order sales strategies, your business’ potential growth from conducting more B2B type transactions and why success is just a matter of finding the time to take consistent action. The weather’s a little crazy, but we’re here to take even bigger, crazier next steps to flip Misty’s business and maybe your online business to the next level. Don’t miss it!

Success Story of the Week: This week's success story is a special one because Jocelyn and I are going to celebrate a little success that we have had in our brand and we didn't even really know this had happened, is what's so funny because we set this goal last year. If you listen to our earlier episodes in 2016, you’ll catch us sharing our goal from 2015, that we wanted to get 1,000 members in the Flip Your Life community.   We wanted 1,000 people or more to be actively flipping their lives, chasing that flipped lifestyle, taking courses, taking action, and doing whatever it took to flip their life and we weren't even really paying attention. And one of our members posted a forum post in success forums that said, "Congrats, guys, you guys achieved your goal. There's over 1,000 members of the community!" It's just amazing and funny how goals work, we didn't focus on that goal.

We’ve made it this far because of the conscious effort we put into the choices we make.  Some choices have bigger impacts on your life and business than others. Today we’ll share with you our secret weapons for online success. This is the single choice we made that helped us grow exponentially as husband and wife, as business partners and as entrepreneurs in general.  What's our secret weapon? Choosing to invest in ourselves and attend live events! Attending live events has been the single biggest game changer in our online business.   There’s something about going to a live event that takes everything in your business to the next level. Being surrounded by entrepreneurs of every level is a huge opportunity far too good to pass up. WHY? Everyone who goes to a live event is serious about their business. No one is messing around. Everyone is there to work and make the right connections that will help transform their business in the future. We would not be where we are today, if we had not gone to those live events early in our journey. The revelations you get by meeting the mind (or minds) behind the content, behind the business, will blow you away! [Tweet "Attending live events has been the single biggest difference maker in our online business." - Jocelyn"] Now that we got your attention with the perks, here are some tips and tricks to get you LIVE event ready! How to Choose The Right Event For You AND Get The Most Out of It: “WHO IS LEADING THE GROUP?” You should trust the person leading you to your next step. Make sure you do your research and learn about who is hosting the event, what they value, the purpose of the event and if they have the content you need to start or grow your online business. “WHO IS GOING?” Take time to consider the size of the event. A smaller event gives a more personalized experience that lets you connect with others on a deeper level. There’s less clutter, less noise, less competition for everyone’s attention, so the opportunity to build relationships with your fellow entrepreneurs is greater. This also makes asking your questions and finding the right answers even easier. Remember: You’re not there just for the content. Go connect, build and strengthen relationships with your fellow participants, doing so will make a huge difference to your business in the future. “WHAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES VS THE REWARDS?” Invest in yourself and your business. We know how difficult it is for people to do this, but you must work on making a commitment to believe and invest in yourself and your business because the rewards are going to be bigger when you do. Overcome challenges and remove obstacles. Being a parent makes this even more complicated since there’s going to be some guilt sinking in, “What will happen to the kids while I’m away?” But what if by attending this live event, your business takes off and in turn, it significantly makes your family’s life better, would you now be willing to invest time, effort and money? You have to be ready to do whatever it takes to get to the next level and make that a priority. Are you investing your time, money and energy in a way that saves, frees up and generate you MORE time, money and energy? If the answer to the question above is “YES!” then you’re already part of the 10% who’s setting themselves up for success. If your answer is, “No,” then there’s no better time than the present to START making the changes needed to create a truly amazing life for your family. Being resourceful is a handy skill that all entrepreneurs must possess, practice resourcefulness and go do what you said you were going to do -- DO IT NOW.
