Hey, y'all. You're listening to a Q&A with S&J.

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

We're your host, 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. Hey guys, welcome back to today's Q&A with S&J. Our question

today is from Ben Adams. And Ben writes, how do you balance all you do? I have a six-year-old daughter and a three-month-old

son. I want to create digital products, but I struggle for time. And Ben, we feel your pain.

We have been there before. When we started our online businesses, our children were three and

18 months. So we definitely, yes, we totally understand where you're coming from. And our

children are now six and almost four. And it is very difficult to balance that time. You know,

especially if you have a full time job that you're working every day and you feel like that

your time is really limited with your children anyway because you don't get home until late to see them.

And then you have to try to balance this online business thing too.

And so it is very difficult.

The biggest advice that we give to most people when they ask us this question is to be super deliberate with your priorities.

And that kind of sounds like pie in the sky stuff, you know,

like, oh, you know, manage your time and all that. But it really is true. And you've got to

understand what is the most important thing in your life so that you can work all of the other things

around that. What Jocelyn and I do, and this is what we did when we first started out as well,

even when we were working full-time jobs, we would take our calendar and we would schedule hour by hour, 168 hours during the week. But the first things we would always put in were our priorities, the things that meant the most to us. You know, if you've got time that you need to spend with your children, if you've got time, you need to spend with your wife. You've got a full-time job

that you have to be it. You have to put those on your calendar first, and you've got to schedule out

deliberate time, whether it's just an hour a day, two hours a day, whatever it is you're spending
