I’m super excited for y’all to listen to today’s episode! I’m chatting with Terry Mejean, a standout member of our community with a really cool business idea involving heartfelt greeting cards. Here’s a quick rundown of what we dive into: A Thoughtful Surprise: I kick things off by sharing a fantastic gift I got from Terry—a box full of personal, meaningful greeting cards. Trust me, these aren’t your average cards. They’re packed with real thought and emotion. Terry’s Journey: Terry opens up about his background as an executive chef and pastor, and how a major health scare in 2020 changed his life. We both reflect on how such experiences can shift our perspectives and priorities. The Magic of Greeting Cards: Terry talks about his talent for crafting impactful messages and how this, combined with his personal experiences, inspired him to create cards that offer genuine wisdom and support. Nurturing Relationships: We dive into a conversation about relationships—how they evolve and the importance of keeping them strong. Terry shares his struggles with his marriage, and we discuss the idea that consistent, small efforts are often more effective than occasional grand gestures. Think of it like our cells regenerating; relationships need ongoing attention. Business Ideas: Terry’s vision is to help men improve their relationships through a box of cards, and we brainstorm how to turn this into a subscription model. I suggest starting with a physical box and then sending small, monthly envelopes to keep things fresh. We also talk about adding digital versions and building a community around the product. Subscription Strategy: We flesh out the idea of combining cards with monthly courses, practical tasks, and community support. We discuss how to target men in their late thirties to early fifties, using content like podcasts to reach them. Starting a Podcast: Finally, I give Terry some advice on starting a podcast to share his journey and connect with his audience. Consistency is key, and a podcast could be a great way to build his brand and engage listeners. Tune in to hear all about Terry’s unique approach to greeting cards, his personal insights on relationships, and some solid advice on turning a passion project into a thriving business!     Subscribe & Connect: Subscribe to the Flipped Lifestyle Podcast Flipped Lifestyle YouTube Join the Flipped Lifestyle Community Learn How to Make Money Online, and Live The Life You Want Inside the Flipped Lifestyle™ Community! https://flippedlifestyle.com/flippedlifestylemembership

Our online business journey started out with so many people around us asking, “Why did you do that?” After taking action and showing the doubters and naysayers that success is possible, that you really don’t have to live paycheck to paycheck, that question later turned into, “How did you do that?” We realized the difference we can make in other people’s lives — a life where you can be the boss.

Are you lacking the confidence to make sales because your email list is small? Maybe you’re contemplating if people would even pay for your digital product? Put yourself in the shoes of the customer for a second and ask yourself: When you purchase something online, do you know what you’re really paying for? “Well, I bought this because I need to do this… or that…” Is that really the ONLY reason behind the purchase? Sometimes people confuse the real selling point of a digital product as just the product itself. Yes, they need your product to do this and that, but your digital product delivers something more than what that product description is saying… A product allows your customer to gain: The time to do the things they want. Convenience or ease of use. Confidence and support. Peace of mind and leadership. Your product or what you’re creating / what you’re about to create, is a part of a greater purpose, which is why you should step up and share this with others who need it to improve their quality of life. Your email list, no matter how small, have people who believe in you and the results your product will deliver. They look to you for guidance, so be confident with your role as the leader because YOU do have what it takes and YOU can help so many by leading them towards their next step. And this is why you can still make big sales even if you have a small email list!
