FL 64 – Celebrating our Two Year Anniversary of Quitting our 9 to 5 Jobs

September 27th, 2013 was the very first day that we stayed home working only for ourselves, and today we're taking time to reflect on the last two years and talk about the most important factors in our success. As full-time teachers, we both were working on average about 50 hours a week, even though we had summers 'off' but we were never 'happy enough'. We're going to share the story of trigger in our lives that drove us to change our lifestyle. [Tweet "Once you quit your job, you can never work a 9 to 5 again.."] We'll walk through the exact mindset and thought process that we went through that lead us to quitting our jobs and the sacrifices we made to do that. What we wanted out of life was freedom, so that is what we set out to accomplish and then help you do the same. You will learn Success Story The story of where we came from. Some of the struggles we've faced over the year. The reasons that we made the shift to working for ourselves. The sacrifices we made to go full time with our online businesses.

On today's podcast, we're going to celebrate the two-year anniversary of quitting our jobs. 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 Flipped Lifestyle podcast; got a very special and awesome, fun episode of Flipped Lifestyle podcast for you guys this week. We are taking a departure from kind of our series-based stuff, where we cover you know, huge topics and get into the nuts and bolts of online business, and we wanted to just step back and look at the last two years of our online business since we quit our jobs. We just celebrated our two-year "quit-aversary" that's what Jocelyn calls it, the quit-aversary where we actually became unemployable, we will never go back to the nine to five ever again, and so I think what, it was September 27th? JOCELYN: Yeah, 2013, that was. SHANE: Two years ago, that was the first day that Jocelyn and I stayed at home and worked for ourselves. So we want to talk a little bit about that journey, we want to get into why we started our online business, why we decided to quit our jobs and kind of go into all the things that have happened since. If you are new to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, this is going to be kind of a great episode for you to catch up...
