Hey, all, on today's podcast, we help Jessica and Maryland launch their membership site.

Welcome to the Flip Lifestyle Podcast, where life always comes before work.

We're your host, Shane and Jocelyn Sam.

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. What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the

Flip Lifestyle podcast. It's great to be back with you again this week. For those of you who may be new to

the show, our podcast is a little different than other shows you may listen to. We don't bring on experts and gurus. We bring on real people growing real online businesses

and we help them take their online business to the next level. And we are super excited to bring

on our guests today because these are two not only friends of ours, but people we work with

in our Flip Your Life community and on a daily basis. It is our accounting team, our bookkeepers. It is Jessica and Marilyn from the bottom

line, and we are super excited to help them with their online business today. Jessica and Marilyn,

welcome to the show. Hey, guys. Thank you. Happy to be here. So excited. Woo-hoo. Yeah, we love these gals for so many reasons because, well, first of all, we're going to be able to be here. So excited. Woohoo.

Yeah, we love these gals for so many reasons because, well, first of all, they are our accountants and bookkeepers.

They're awesome. And also because they are in our area as in the region.

Yeah.

They're in Tennessee.

You know, within a couple hundred miles of us. And it's pretty amazing because there just are not a whole lot of online entrepreneurs in this area. So we're so thankful for their friendship and also to partner with them in business. And it's also hilarious how we met. We were driving from Kentucky to Atlanta. And we were just on the road. We were bored. And I said, let's just turn on their webinar and we'll listen to it and see how they're doing things. And Jocelyn was driving and I got on the chat. And I start talking to some random person from Tennessee and it ends up being Jessica. Okay. So like we were just having this chat talking back and forth. And that was pretty cool. Well, then Jocelyn, And a couple weeks later was looking for a bookkeeping service. Yeah. So I used fresh books. You know, I had a really bad experience. We had hired this accountant in Kentucky and like a week later she told me she was shutting her business down. I was like, oh no. Not good. So, you know, I'm looking for somebody. I'm like, I don't know what to do.

You know, I'd like to have somebody kind of local, but then also who knows about online business. I'm just trying to find somebody. So I started in fresh books and I'm like, okay, I'm just going to look and see who the recommended bookkeepers are in this area. and so I just happened to run across your site. And the language on it was talking about online entrepreneurs. And I'm like, wait a minute. This can't be right because nobody around here knows about online business. So then we reached out to Jessica. And Jessica, of course, lets us know. Hey, I was on a webinar. I was talking to you on a webinar last week or something like that.

You were so friendly, Shane. You were like the mayor of the chat room. Nothing has changed. Nothing is. I tend to like take, like go to the head of the class in groups. You know what I mean? Nobody can imagine this at all. Right. Exactly. I found it so bizarre and ironic because what are the chances in all the math? We could be driving down the interstate in a random webinar, and then Jocelyn just randomly found you guys two weeks later. I mean, these things are no accident. The moral of the story is go to every webinar you can and try to talk to people and make contacts.

You can even network on a random webinar chat room.

You never know who you're going to meet.

That's right.
