In the light of murder of George Floyd… If you’ve felt even a hint of anger these last few days/ weeks of protest for justice, you would be justified. We’ve had pretty transparent conversations these past few days around the Buckley home about our feelings and experiences around racial inequalities throughout life. We got raw and vulnerable. Anger in itself isn’t bad. But, to be totally honest, we realized there are wounds there that needed to be worked through. However, one thing that we’ve kep...

This week we’ve been leaping into something entirely new for us, and it requires EVERYTHING we’ve got to remain laser focused on the main goal. Sometimes we may think that because we are pursuing purpose in life that it won’t require persistence. The truth is, it requires MORE discipline to refine the gifts we’ve been given. In this episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast, we’re taking you behind the scenes of how we’ve had to make some ‘growth’ decisions in real-time. It didn’t feel good but...

You know when you meet people who just ‘get’ you? And you them? That’s how it felt finally connecting with Terry and Ashley in real life. LOL. Although we’ve been connecting for over a year or so via IG, we actually got a chance to sit down and chop it up with them. They are serial entrepreneurs, marriage enthusiasts, and the hosts of Lakewood Church’s Spark Marriage Conference. They have an amazing journey to share with you today! They started building their business together 12 months after be...

Today’s show is about creating profitable partnerships and the 4 easy steps to create them even if you’re just launching a business together. From sponsorships, joint ventures, collaborations, etc. they ALL are POWERFUL types of business partnerships. But here’s the thing guys, there are so many false beliefs around creating these powerful partnerships. For example: Maybe you’re thinking this: “We need proof of past partnerships in order to get new partnerships.” Or maybe you’re thinking this: “...

When we first married, we were spousal-preneurs (one spouse working the 9-5 and the other running a business.) Then, 7 years ago, after being fired, we quickly turned to indie-preneurs (each of us building separate individual businesses). This month marks 7 years that we have been in FULL-TIME marriedpreneur mode! Yup, it’s our Marriedpreneur-VERSARY! LOL What a RIDE! We’re celebrating all month actually! Today, we’re sharing our TOP 7 apps that have literally supported us through this incredibl...

We can not pretend that every single one of us is and has been impacted by this pandemic. Even those of us who were already working from home.

Last week we got a chance to have a GOLDEN conversation with a former Disney exec who left his “corner office” to work with his wife in the family business. Dave Hollis shared such a wealth of experience about his life and transitioning from spousal-preneur to couple-preneur. And BOY! Did he have GOLD to drop. We spoke marriage, roles, mindset, transitions, communications and all the things! He recently dropped his first book, New York Times best seller, Get Out of Your Own Way: A Skeptic Guide ...

Profitability is key in order for any business to thrive...right? By why do so many struggle with it? We’re diving into the 3rd and final pillar in our Syncing System trilogy: PROFITABLY IN SYNC But first, let’s debunk a few myths around profitability as marriedpreneurs shall we? Q: Is it true that companies with great ideas are the ones to make money? A: No, Not great ideas alone. Q: Is it easy for married entrepreneurs who genuinely enjoy one another’s company and have a passion for business t...

With this world being in such unprecedented times, we are going to see what marriages are made of. There’s no way a couple can be powerful without going through a rough season because there's only textbook theory and no real conviction behind it. Today’s episode is RIGHT on time because we’re sharing obvious signs of being powerfully in sync as well as challenges that we’ve had to face in the midst of this pandemic. Yet still, powerfully in sync is a process. SHOW NOTES: Syncing System: Powerful...

Purpose is a big word these days. People are constantly seeking it out and measuring if it’s being fulfilled. The big hurdle, though, for Marriedpreneurs is often clarifying the JOINT purpose for your marriage and everything that is birthed through it. It’s different from your individual purpose. Purposefully in sync is the first step in our syncing system because without it, there’s only pseudo ‘power,’ and the profit phase could never replace the purpose. There’s an order to the sync-up! On to...

A few weeks ago we ran a survey in our FB group (Marriage +Entrepreneurship) We tend to answer and share strategies on all things Marriage, Marketplace and Ministry but we knew in order to clarify our messaging it was going be vital to streamline the focus. The survey was shockingly clear. The majority of couples asked us to teach more on ‘staying on the same page’ in business. This definitely wasn’t what we expected to be the MAIN desire yet here we are. Over the next few episodes we’re diving ...

We could NOT believe we made such a CRAZY mistake! We felt HORRIBLE after receiving emails about not being able to access our live web-training (because we forgot to do activate conference call line once we got started on Zoom). Yes, we remedied it by doing an ENCORE training BUT that’s not the point of this post. Listen, how we respond to pressure and hiccups MATTERS. You better believe marriage +business with your spouse brings TONS of opportunities for testing and growth. Here’s the thing, re...

How many times have you doubted the BIG VISION for your family building businesses together? Has it gotten harder over the years to visualize you and your spouse really walking FULLY in that vision? Here’s the thing, the less we see ourselves doing it, the further it is from us. But that’s only part of it. The other part is this, simply put, far too many quit on themselves by ‘settling.’ We get it. Sometimes it hurts to try again. To keep visualizing what you desire can feel like a lost hope. Bu...

We’ve transitioned SO many times throughout the years that it feels weird if we get too comfortable. When the hubby was abruptly fired from his last 9-5 job, we went throooough it on many levels. A big piece of this is he placed his identity in the prestige and security that it brought but that was never purposed to give him his identity. Likewise, when God told us to move from our brand new home (five years in) there was a supernatural shift and help as we were out with a new tenant in seven da...

Have you ever felt like something in life was ‘off’ and you weren’t sure what it was or even where to start working on it? We’ve been there, and we found ourselves doing a Life Detox (and quite frankly, we’re still going through it but are finally at a place to identify what it is). This was NOT in our plans but it was/is ABSOLUTELY transforming how we do life (marriage, business, and anything else that’s on our plates).

We don't know about you guys, but everywhere we turn it seems like it's a new 'trick' or 'hack'. Don't get us wrong. Tactics, tricks AND hacks have their place. But the moment they BECOME the strategy and you lose sight of the transformation you're called to bring, you miss the point. It's REALLY bad this time of year as well! There are programs to buy, webinars to hop on, strategy calls to schedule and so forth and so on. The thing is, all of it can start to sound like rhetoric after a while. A...

This past weekend we did something that was TOTALLY out of the norm. We were invited to go on a quick road trip to DC, and we said ‘YES.’ What we learned about ourselves and being intentional about our marital circle was so rich and powerful that we wanted to share this with other marriedpreneurs! Yes, we are all different, but there are some KEY pillars that are the SAME regardless of our differences. We’re going to share the red flags that dictated it was PAST time to make a change for the bet...

Pricing your product or service can be a tricky thing. We are CONSTANTLY asked this question. Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with your customer, but everything to do with YOU! How you price your products and services is often a reflection of how you view the value of what you’re offering. To make matters even trickier, what happens when you and your spouse don’t agree on the pricing structure in your business?👀 Well, in episode #133 of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast, we are sharing ho...

I can recall when we were SO burnt out with LIFE that we didn’t even have a clear picture of what we REALLY wanted because we couldn’t see past the situation we were in. It was BAD! You KNOW you’re in a bad place when what you DON’T want is clearer than what you DO want. That’s a sign. By being diligent and sticking with our process, we started to see our way out of that emotional mess. But what awaited was another monster that often stunts the growth of couples in business everywhere. We starte...

Just a few short weeks ago, we embarked on something that even our coaches thought was not in the right marketing ‘flow.’ According to the ‘formula’ we should have already done webinars, challenges and the like before hosting our first event together. But to be transparent, we knew at the beginning of the year, regardless of what didn’t happen, we KNEW we were supposed to do a live event. The CRAZY part was, EVERY-thing was NEW. New market. New state (we knew NO ONE in NJ) New event New location...

Happiest of Thanksgiving to you and yours! To those of you who don’t know, we run about 5 different businesses (some with their own unique markets) as well as being in leadership in our church, AND working to keep our marriage at the core is no easy feat. Coming off the heels of our first live event together, there were SO many opportunities to stress out and start pointing fingers at each other. But one of the pillars of our business strategy has given us the grace to stay within healthy bounda...

Last week we had the privilege of interviewing one of our mentors on Facebook Live, and we have GOT to share these nuggets with you. The thing about Myron Golden is that he actually drops GOLD knowledge that has revolutionized how we think...period. He went from being a trash man to running a multi-seven figure family empire. I say that to say-- he’s no fluff and all facts. He even shares some basic (yet profound) insight on how our culture is ‘brainwashed’ into ‘settling’ in areas that we don’t...
