Hey fam! O.L. here. Not many of you may know this about me. Before I got married, I worked some interesting jobs. In this episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast I’ll share the one involving me working for a well-known billionaire. Working for Mark Cuban taught me many things. However, there are 3 I’ll share that I still use today. You won’t believe what he did when a bunch of people surrounded him asking him for deals….it’s not what you think. Here’s to living powerfully in sync, OL and Sway...

If you’ve ever been unexpectedly fired from a job, you can relate to the varying emotions felt. Anything from sadness to anger to disbelief… it’s crazy That’s exactly what happened when I (O.L.) got fired from my last 9-5 in the banking industry. I had just gotten a huge client (a hospital) that my superiors were working on for over a year with no avail. Then the new kid came in and got a conversation. Then, I was dismissed. Pretty crazy right? Well, my wife, being the amazing woman she is, enco...

Building a family empire is not for the feeble minded. If you or your spouse have been running on fumes lately, keep reading.. This past year has been a whirlwind for us. From growth, trying new things, getting even more clarity to amazing open doors, it has been all-consuming. We recently decided to do a staycation (separately)... the hubby went to a nearby boutique hotel hidden in the hills of New Jersey. Today, we reunited, and there’s TONS we have to say and recommend for other couples build...

We’ve never shared this story publically, but the idea of Marriedpreneur Life was initially birthed with some good friends of ours who also were building businesses together. We didn’t have a legit name for it at the time, but we DID start a media network and started crafting weekly video episodes (Light Central Station on Youtube if you can still find it…). Well, as our lives began to take on their own path, we knew things would be changing as our seasons changed. But we want to share something...

We recently flew out to Dallas to present workshops at an international training conference. We’ve been a part of this conference for years and are so honored to be apart of it. Something felt different this time. We started to verbalize what we’ve been internalizing for the last year or so. We’ve been stretched. Yes. But on the other side of stretching is growth. When we are aware of growing, perspective changes. Did you know that there are two kinds of growth? This past year we have been more ...

We all know how FRUSTRATING it can be to have a BIG vision and yet lack the steps to walk it out… You’re not alone. Meet Ty and Cody Roberson who when they first met us, they were struggling with insufficient systems and broken messaging. In short, they needed clarity. They invested in our coaching because they knew there was more for them to do with their business. (Mind you, they both work full-time jobs, but that doesn’t stop them from moving forward with building their empire while their job...

It went against our family rules. We were having our ‘rest day’ and the hubby’s phone KEPT blowing up! At first he didn’t tell me. But after a while, he needed support to stay accountable to our ‘dream’ path. The thing about the dream is we have to INTENTIONAL about protecting it...even from ourselves.. So, come to find out, one of his newest commercial real estate clients had an emergency and needed his help. We talked it over and decided to give them a call but NOT to get caught up in the ‘rat...

The other day I was standing in the kitchen preparing breakfast and my mind drifted off to counting the different amounts we have investing in coaching and mentoring for business (and life over the last year and half). I had to almost sit down when I realized it was upwards of $70K 😳 I was speechless... Mainly because when we got serious about this business journey (like REALLY serious) we sacrificed BIG TIME in order to learn the skills that would literally change our lives. We didn’t set out ...

Hey fam, It’s O.L. here today. I remember at one time in our business we were working and planning diligently on doing a brand new webinar. This may seem simple and like it was no big deal, but the truth is, we were hoping for the success of this webinar as this was to be a major financial stream. At any rate, we did all of the necessary preparations and positioning to see success with the webinar. We invested heavily. We studied (all of the coaching material we had at the time) and we implement...

Isn't it funny how our perspective can literally change the chemistry in our body? Not too long ago, I had a heart to heart with my hubby. It was all planned out. I knew exactly what I was going to tell him. I would let him know how I was starting to feel as if I was being taken for granted in our business. I was doing a large portion of the producing (and still am..but it was different then). I was going to tell him EXACTLY how it made me feel. We would then, in my head’s convo, sit down and pu...

It started off really rough... We would sit on our hardwood floor in our living room (that had barely any furniture, mind you) to strategically plan out our goals together. We didn’t have a roadmap for married entrepreneurs, so we created it ourselves. We’d sit there for hours planning out the 4 quarters and all of the launches we would do and help each other with. (There was no Marriedpreneur Life at that time...just two entrepreneurs trying to make sense out of all of our dreams, ideas and goa...

On the outside, things appeared cool, calm and collected. But on the INSIDE, we knew we had to make a decision about what to do next. You see, last week we launched our live event, in the MIDDLE of preparing for a huge event at church, at the SAME time closing some major commercial real estate deals, and SIMULTANEOUSLY launching our new Marriedpreneur Masterclass FB Live Series… Sheesh… You see, we made a choice starting this journey that we would give it our all and not back down in fear. We AL...

We pulled up to the airport CONFIDENT that everything would go smoothly until I realized I didn’t have my wallet. Hopped in an Uber and went 15 min to go get it, but THEN it got crazier… I couldn’t believe the ONE time I asked my husband to make our plane reservations he bought our tickets with the right date BUT the wrong MONTH!😳 All of this actually was sign of a deeper issue. We were busy experimenting with each of us doing what the other person normally does when we ALREADY had a great syst...

The most popular response we received the other week about what should be covered in our upcoming live event for married entrepreneurs was about work/life balance. To be totally transparent, we were FIXATED on getting it 'right', until we realized the finish line constantly moved as we grew. Too many have worked towards this ethereal definition of 'Balance' as married entrepreneurs, and for those of us who love what we do and don't WANT to turn it off, we can find ourselves in an everyday 'pickl...

Deon FIRED his wife Bridgette from the family business when they first started on their marriedpreneur journey. (Bridgette likes to say she ‘resigned’ though). LOL. Sometimes we go into the marriedpreneur journey a bit disillusioned thinking that because we may be on different pages, we've allowed a seed of doubt to enter in. On episode #109 of the Marriepreneur Life podcast, we’re sharing an amazing story of rebuilding and launching multiple businesses together. Their story is FULL of HOPE ya’l...

How many times do we look for a solution and become frustrated when we don't find it? Arrrgh. Could it be that SOME of those times we are called to go and BUILD the solution we've been seeking? This is often how it works out for us in the Buckley home. Being a trailblazer and legacy-builder requires some unique skills, though. Of course, more than anything, this requires COURAGE! Courage to try it and be ok with it NOT being perfect out the gate. Courage to create something that you've never see...

Sometimes we think when we have to make a thousand changes in business that we are doing something wrong. That’s not true. In fact, it’s often a sign that you are doing something RIGHT! It takes TIME and courage to keep going even when it FEELS like failure. Pedora and his wife Suzette know this story ALL too well. In episode #107 of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast, they’re sharing how they lost one million plus dollars (after making it in their first business) and how they refocused and worked ...

Sometimes, you gotta be good with WHAT works best for your family. It can be frustrating to try to fit into a mold that you were only made to break. This goes across the board...especially building legacy TOGETHER. And sometimes it takes a few tries (or more than a few) to get it right. But don't allow the multiple attempts tell you that you're on the wrong track...in fact, you're likely closer than you've ever been before. Keep going. For example, we NOW do our annual planning for the next yea...

We knew each other 10 years before we got married. (But that’s another story for another time) When we first married, we slept on four twin-sized air mattresses. We piled them on top of each other and put them together so technically, we had ourselves a California King… Ayyye! But the mattresses would deflate while we slept, and we’d often awake in a sea of material on the carpet. The burgandy cheap sheets we used barely held it all together, but they did a great job of bleeding on our white wal...

If you’ve been following us for a bit, you know we are all about sharing strategies, skills and STORIES that can be the answer to the thing you’ve been praying for! Speak of praying… We’re gonna share an amazing story about our new friends. (We have the same business coach and were able to connect during a business training in Denver last month). Jaime and her husband Nathan knew it was time for a shift in their lives when they found themselves struggling all while knowing they were called to so...

Something that we don’t talk about much is our rocky ‘hiring’ journey...it started off ROOOUGH ya’ll.. We started hiring help before we could even afford a full-time employee… It started with just a few hours a week. We’ve hired (and released) several people along the way. But each time, it got better and better and better. So, ‘No’ this is NOT our first time around the ‘Hiring Rodeo’ (is that even a thing?) LOL. We’ve learned some COSTLY lessons when it comes to hiring, and one of them is aroun...

So, can we be transparent for a moment? Sway: There was a time that I consistently doubted if we were going in the right direction by working together. OL: Doubting our direction wasn’t a big thing for me, but I DID struggle with doubting the LEVEL that we were called to PLAY on. Sway: Yeah, I totally get that part too. But something seriously changed along the way with my mindset. There were mini confirmationations that reassured our steps. Spending the last few days in Denver with Russell Brun...
