Happy post Thanksgiving. We wanted to share how grateful we are for all of you and for our flipping business.
We have so much to be thankful for!
Thankful For Challenges
Years ago we had a bad thing happen that turned into something we’re thankful for. We are thankful my job cut my benefits when it did because if they hadn’t we might not have jumped into reselling full-time.
We needed that push to do that, and we are so grateful that we’re able to do this and it’s something that we’re super passionate about. And now it’s been six years. When we were doing this as a side hustle we were making $42,000 a year with only 10 to 15 hours a week, so when we lost insurance we decided to see what we could make if we were both flipping. Our goal was to make more and provide for our family of five, and luckily it worked out because we didn’t have a huge pile of savings to bail us out.
It has been amazing. We have been able to help over a thousand people that have jumped into Flipper University. We’ve gotten to know people on social media who are trying to make this a side hustle or a full-time gig. It’s been so awesome to see how many people we have been able to help through our journey.
And knowing that we would not have been on this journey had we not had the misfortune of losing our benefits and then getting out of our job makes us even more grateful it happened the way it did.
Thankful For Sharing Our Story
We’re also thankful that we came back to sharing our story and journey online. We started a blog and we did it for about six months, but we weren’t getting traffic so we stopped. Six months later we revisited it and came back to it. It’s been so much fun to see our growth over the years and learn how to improve our own skills on the blog, social media, and now the podcast!
Thankful For Impact
When you sign up for YouTube, you’re making ad revenue and so it’s extra income, but the more you see, the more you realize you’re actually impacting people. People are making legit money for their families. We’ve had some of our course members quit their jobs and go do this full time. We could barely think that we could go full-time and here they are making $40,000-$70,000 a year, which is amazing!
We are so thankful for our podcast listeners, our Flipper University members, and we’re just very thankful in this season that God has given us. It’s been amazing.
Thankful For Flexibility
Another thing we’re thankful for is that we don’t have to ask anyone for time off. When Melissa was at her day job she rarely took time off until she met me. When we started planning trips she’d ask her boss for time and would get two weeks. Now we don’t have to do that. We can just plan trips and even take a whole summer off.
It is nice to have our control of being able to do stuff as a family on our own timeframe. We are so thankful that we have the freedom, the ability to do that, and that we do not have to answer to anyone. That is the flexibility with flipping. Another cool piece is that our kids have grown up around this business and now they’re starting to learn it too.
Thanks for following us on our journey!
