We all are faced to make decisions every day. Some are more costly than others. However, we’re pretty sure that being decisive is a skill (whether you have it or not) it can be learned. However, depending on the situation, decisiveness is not 100% the best way to go. Discerning when and how to decisiveness is the key. Every day we are making legacy decisions. When we understand how often even the seemingly smaller decisions impact how we make larger ones, we think about it differently. This is e...

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything you KNEW to do (consistently) but for some reason, you still lack the results you’ve been expecting? This can be attributed to many things: lack of skills, poor positioning, ineffective messaging to name a few. However, the big elephant in the room is actually on the inside. It could be your belief system. Is it possible that your beliefs somewhere are broken so your efforts are capped? If so, episode 186 is a perfect resource for your journey th...

In the first episode of the year, we’re releasing a brand new opportunity to grow WITH you and your family throughout the year. We’re clearly committed to seeing you grow and position yourselves for an even greater impact this year. We’ve created an amazing resource that we WISH we had when we were launching out.

Sometimes we can feel that our passion for impacting others through our business is really all we need to make it happen. But efficiency and effectiveness require more. Building a legacy will always require a certain level of structure and order to get the desired results. A big part of this is understanding a few practical ways to track your progress and clarity. We are “obsessed” with implementing calendars that support our growth. Not just any kinds of calendars though. There are 3 to be exac...

One of the biggest parts of business growth that very few talks about are the emotional rollercoaster that can come along with it. To be more specific, disappointments can be a blow to our momentum. For example, when you do a launch in your business to promote your product/service, these things require an ‘all hands on deck’ kind of mood. So, when so much effort has been placed into a specific result, and you fall short of the target, that’s deflating. But we’ve got some good news for you on thi...

This time of year it’s really easy to think about what we are grateful for, which is a good thing! However, the downside is, the other days of the year don’t always get that level of intentional gratitude. This is not only helpful in being the best human possible, but it also plays a huge role in one’s level of execution throughout the year… let’s talk about it. Here’s what you’ll learn in episode 182: 📝Simple steps to use daily gratitude to set the state of your mind first this in the morning ...

This year has been known as the year of pivots. It’s a delicate balance of being aware of the changes going on in the world (and how it impacts your business) and being focused on your core mission. Now, to be clear, not all pivots are the same, but they are necessary on this entrepreneurial journey. So, if you’ve been wondering what to do next or unsure of HOW to pivot, be encouraged. This week’s episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast is for you! Here’s what you’ll learn in episode 181 : 📝...

We initially were going to call this how to transition from spousal-preneurs to couple-preneurs, but then we realized this insight will also be valuable in other areas of transition as well. Our transition into full-time ‘couple-preneurship’ was anything but smooth. We constantly found ourselves tripping over our own awkwardness while trying to find our voice and make a consistent profit. There’s something that we wish we understood sooner that we want to share with you today. As we’ve looked ba...

We don’t tell this story often, but we almost didn’t get married because the business became the focal point of our relationship.It took time, re-adjusting, and grace to finally ‘jump the broom’. There were subtle issues that kept coming up about the business that wasn’t addressed until they HAD to be. So, they simmered for a while before dealing with them. If we dealt with this in the early years pre-marriage then we can only imagine what kind of emotional tug-of-war is happening within marriag...

We know many had to pivot their plans this year and we realized that as a result, some feel as if they need to ‘wait to see’ what happens before making the next move. In this week’s episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast, we are addressing this faulty mindset head-on! The beautiful thing about entrepreneurship is we get to create as we go. The beautiful thing about marriedpreneurship is we get to create TOGETHER as we build. We’re diving into the many unspoken thoughts marriedpreneurs are fa...

This week is special. We are VERY selective of who we bring on the Marriedpreneur Life podcast. So, when we DO, just know that you are in for a real treat! This week we share an intimate chat with a couple and indie-preneur family, Shae and Phil Bynes. Their path is a bit different in that although they run two different businesses for now, they are in the transition between the two ventures. Shae founded Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur years ago and now, she is moving on and Phil is coming on as th...

Routines get a bad rap. They can be monotonous and mundane at times. But the TRUTH of the matter is that routines are a manifestation of your discipline (and who doesn’t want or need to be even more disciplined?) We all grapple with being disciplined consistently at certain times. We’re breaking down simple routines we use as marriedpreneurs that help us to steward life well together. In this week’s episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast. We’re sharing 📝 An easy strategy to getting the thin...

Gaining traction is a funny thing. It may seem like it takes a lot to get unstuck but the truth is simple strategy will always untie a tangled knot. A lack of traction steals motivation and money. The main purpose we are doing this episode is because we are tired of seeing marriedpreneurs so close to breaking through to their next level but get stuck...they lose traction. In this week’s episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast we’re sharing: 📝 The 5 simple steps to gaining traction as married...

If you’ve missed any of the last 3 episodes, be sure to check them out first. Enterprising Movement Makers is the 3rd phase of the Marriedpreneurship phaseology! At this point in the process, you two have enough experience under your belt to accelerate and increase your visibility. The goal as marriedpreneurs, in our opinion, should always be to turn your message into a movement that impacts lives and increases your income along the journey. The primary focus of using your voice on your OWN plat...

If you missed the last 2 episodes, go take a listen to them first. The second phase of marriedpreneurship is: ESTABLISHED. There’s something pretty sweet about getting traction in business AND clarifying your next steps. That’s exactly what’s happening in this phase. It often comes after consistently working on messaging and becoming efficient with basic systems. This phase also has a lot of room to grow as well. Check out the episode to learn not just about the Established phase of Marriedprene...

(Hi guys! Last week, in episode 171, we started a short training series. If you haven’t listened to the last episode then we recommend you do that first in order to fully understand the entire strategy we’re sharing.) The first phase in our 3-phrase process is: Emerging Marriedpreneurs The importance of identifying this first phase is so your people can track and identify where they are starting from and introduce them to the resources you have, to help them grow through this phase. Just know th...

One of the most clarifying strategies we’ve implemented recently is ‘Phaseology’ (as we like to call it). For us, it will be used as a powerful tool to help other marriedpreneurs to self-identify which phase they are in and where they are going next. Not only does each phase speak to where they are but it also gives mile markers for their next steps in order to see real progress. Believe it or not, not many coaches that we’ve worked with have always had this BUT the ones who do, make it so much ...

The smartest way to learn powerful life-changing lessons is to learn from others who have gone through the trenches of doing it (and lived to tell about it!) Ha! In this week’s episode of The Marriedpreneur Life podcast, we’re sharing some of our BIGGEST marriedpreneur lessons over the last 11 years of being married!

In this week’s episode of The Marriedpreneue Life podcast, we’re diving into one of the BIGGEST roadblocks that hold couples in fear…wrong perspective. The truth is, sometimes we need to give ourselves a little more grace. When we make ‘mistakes’ it’s easy to be hard on ourselves and keep replaying how we WISHED it happened. But the beautiful big picture is that even your MISsteps are ordered steps. (aye!) In this week’s episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast. We’re sharing about: 📝How to c...

We broke a promise to ourselves and we’re paying for it. One of the pillars around building our multiple businesses was to avoid doing two separate launches in our individual businesses at the same time. Unfortunately, it snuck up on us and BIT us. We’re in a season of double launch and it’s a stretch for us. So, today, we decided to take you behind the scenes of how we will talk through this and hopefully avoid it from happening again. The beauty of this unscripted convo is it’s rawness, transp...

When we first got married, my O.L was working at the bank and I had been running my staffing and consultancy firm for about 15 years (I started in my teens). However, my husband had to instruct him on how to communicate with him. My entire adult life I had to ‘prove’ myself as a capable business owner and I wasn’t sure where the line was when it came to communicating with my husband. This episode of the Marriedpreneur Life Podcast, I’m speaking to wives about not necessarily what we say, but HOW...

ATTN HUSBANDS: As a husband, I know that many men are “quietly” wrestling with keeping their minds at peace during this pandemic. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and with an influx of thoughts, husbands are contending for peace of mind. I get it. For those we serve and lead, our well-being of our soul is well worth it. Let me be transparent and say that I’ve had moments in this during the pandemic where I feel pressure from all sides. Not because of fear of Covid-19, but because I’m finding it dif...

We were deceived and didn’t even realize it until this moment. We were at a coaching event and doing some goal setting with a small group of entrepreneurs. Some were seasoned while others were pretty new to this training and coaching industry. I remember the coach asked each of us our money goals from our next retreat or business to write them on the board. Before she came to our table we intensely chatted among each other to figure number out...was it too low? Too high? We didn’t know but we th...

We fell off and we admitted it to our clients. Last night we were sharing with our Mastery clients (the highest level of training we offer) that we fell off. The very thing that we train them to do, we hadn’t done. Did that make us hypocrites? I don’t know… Maybe in the technical definition of the word. But all we know is, we work to be transparent (not perfect) in all of our coachings. We want our names to be synonymous with truthful, transparent, and those who create transformation (even if th...

If impacting the lives of others is at the heart of your business, you’ll want to listen to ALL of this podcast episode. For starters, if you’re like us, you’re ready to learn in when someone has something of substance to say. Nowadays, everyone has a voice- and nearly everyone is using it. This ultimately creates a lot of chatter and very little change. So, what's the difference between chatter and change? Impact. But not everyone has the same kind of impact, right? We’ve observed and are now s...

We had an emergency. After being married only a few months, we had to figure it out quickly. We were living in Dallas (which isn’t known for the BEST public transportation system). Our transmission in the car went out and we didn’t have enough savings to repair it. But rewind a year prior, I (O.L.) started investing small amounts into a growing industry. It averaged about $20 about every two weeks. I reached my goal of gains over $1000 in under a year. By the time we got married, I told my wife ...

Is it possible to grow IN business and not GROW your business? We believe so. After coaching literally countless couples in business, we’ve found a consistent mis-alignment that ultimately impacts the business’s ROI. It comes down to working ON the business vs. working IN the business. Whether you are building multiple revenue streams or just one revenue stream, these two are not mutually exclusive. They work together, and we’re going to show you how. In this week’s episode of the Marriedpreneur...

It was years before it clicked for us… Years of conferences, coaching, and trial and error. Even though we had an idea of who we wanted to help, we fumbled around on trying to get CLEAR about HOW to help them. You see, there were TONS of pivots on our path before arriving where we are now. (And we have no doubt that there will be more turns in the future). Some would say that when you pivot you’re admitting failure. It ISN’T failure at all. The truth is, pivoting is NECESSARY as you grow. In thi...

To be completely transparent, we’ve found ourselves totally distracted in life… marriage, ministry and business. We realized the distraction came from a seemingly ‘good place’. It came from intense focus. As Marriedpreneurs and as Believers… leaving a lasting impact requires focus, but when focus goes rogue, it turns toxic. In this week’s episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast, we’re sharing about: 📝The intersection of impact and focus and where it has gone wrong (for us) 📝Real examples an...

We’ve heard so many say... “ since Covid-19, I’ve been busier now than before.” Since sheltering in place (even though we’ve worked from home for years) we can definitely feel the effects of the outside pressure on the inside… can you? After mentioning how drained I was feeling over time, last week, Sway and I finally decided to do something about it! I decided to take some time off. The crazy thing is, I didn’t see HOW I could possibly do that with all that we have going on right now. But at th...
