What happens when the goals you dream about and the systems you build don’t have a structure guarding them? In this episode of the Marriedpreneur life, we share our system that we implement each week to build and grow business. Implementing this process is so simple, yet its results will positively impact not just your business, but yourself, your marriage, and your life as well.

We’ve been at this for years. Creating, curating, and building systems that would nearly automate our development has been a long process (and we’re still in it). However, we are finally at a place where we can share insight that will help streamline your legacy building as well. This is why we’ve created the Marriedpreneur Operating Systems! Just like a computer has software and hardware that work together as the OS, likewise for marriedpreneurs who are serious about the quality of their life o...

We were having a convo the other day before recording this podcast. One of the things that stood out was the distinction between momentum for entrepreneurs vs. momentum for married entrepreneurs. There IS a difference. We almost treated it as if it were the same but the truth is, for us, the definition changes when marriage is in the convo. Here’s what we mean, what if your business is skyrocketing but at the expense of your marriage (ehm...no names will be dropped but we can see this in recent ...

We’re not sure how else to really SAY this without saying it… Everyone isn’t your client. And that’s okay! On this episode of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast, we’re diving into the 5 prospect types in business. When we learned about this, a WHOLE new level of freedom came! We do ourselves and other people a disservice if we try to ‘convince’ them they need what we have just because it’s a good product/service. The real question is, ‘is it good from THEM?” We have a lot to share around how to ser...

It’s really easy to envision what ‘Harvest’ season looks like. In fact, when we speak with other couples about their vision, their eyes light up and big smiles come across their faces. Those smiles are there until we ask about the seed they’ve been sowing. You see, the seeding season ALWAYS precedes the sowing harvest season. It’s called seed/ time/ harvest for a reason. However, it’s critical to know what steps need to be taken in each phase. So, here’s what we’re talking about on episode 211 o...

While we were having one of our legacy meetings the other morning, the conversation took a turn (which it does at times). I (Sway) knew from experience that we are in the middle of a ‘liquid gold’ conversation. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart convo with my husband then you know he is a deep well of wisdom. He is definitely a thinker. (I’m more of the jumper type! LOL) Well, while he was sharing such rare gold in the convo, I did something that I don’t necessarily advi...

The other week we were talking about mindsets and how they are shaped. We shared a new aspect of this in our last Love & Launch Challenge for Marriage Coaches & Married Entrepreneurs. It was SO good that we wanted to share a quick sliver of it with you. We know that regardless of where you are on this marriedpreneur journey, having the right mindset and convictions is critical to sustainability and legacy building. So, here’s what we’re talking about on episode 208 of the Marriedpreneur ...

So you probably already know that money is one of the leading causes for strain in marriage and in business, right? Oftentimes, this comes down to knowing the right questions to ask, having the right team members and being laser clear on where you currently stand financially. Although many marriedpreneurs don’t like to talk about business finances, it is often the missing link to scaling and having more impact. We’ve got a great surprise for you today that will make it easy to talk about money a...

Have you ever heard of those stories where the company's employee ends up becoming the CEO? Yeah, me neither. That’s definitely rare. LOL Well, today we have the distinct pleasure of sharing with you an amazing interview that will inspire, motivate and move you into action! We had the honor of sitting down with Tricia Sciortino, the CEO of BELAY- the leading virtual staffing solutions company. Tricia has a key advantage of being BELAY’S first-ever employee (ten years ago) and today she is the CE...

Many people give up because of wrong thinking and expectations. They don’t realize (until they are in it) what this marriedpreneur path requires-so they settle. Settling is easy because it’s comfortable but it doesn’t produce a harvest. One of the best ways to overcome this wrong thinking is to talk about expectations and transparency from the jump start. We’ve recently incorporated our Feelings Spectrum at the start of our training sessions so our clients will know what to expect emotionally on...

Building a business as marriedpreneurs does NOT (and I repeat) does NOT need to end in burnout. Building in a way that supports your mental and emotional health is possible and profitable...but it DOES require a bit of persistence and skill. Not to worry, we’re breaking it all down on this week’s podcast episode! The main points we’re covering on episode 204 of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast are: 📝 How to understand and implement The Y.U.C (Your Unique Capacity) Principle to save you from over...

It’s frustrating to know how to do something but lack the right words to articulate it...right? This is a bottleneck issue in business for sure. If you can’t clearly share how your business brings results to others, then you’re leaving money on the table- every day. Let’s fix this. In this week’s episode of The Marriedpreneur Life podcast we’re taking you behind the scenes of a marketing training we did during our last Love and Launch Challenge. It’s so good too. The main points we’re covering o...

How many times have you been presented an opportunity to grow in a new area but you feel inadequate and want to recoil? We get it When we are at a pivotal point, it’s easy to decline opportunities because of the unknown. But the TRUTH of the matter is, entrepreneurship is a faith walk that is made up of unknowns. However, these unknowns present an opportunity for us to switch our thinking from one-way linear execution to creative ways to solving a problem (since that’s what people pay us for any...

I remember our wedding cake...we’ll the bridal cake is what I’m referring to specifically. It was delicately draped in white fondant designs with fresh red strawberries to add a pop of color. There were three circular layers of tiers, largest to smallest from the bottom up. At the top of our cake stood a figurine of a chocolate couple (that was us!) We still have it today (somewhere in one of those boxes). LOL This wedding cake paints a picture in my mind of a multi-layered legacy that legacy th...

We started from a BIG FAT ZERO we started podcasting. We were encouraged by one of our coaches to create content on an evergreen platform. So we did and are so glad about it! Celebrate with us today as we hit 200 episodes and Lord knows we’ve learned a TON of lessons. 🙌🏽 So in the spirit of generosity, we want to share 20 of the TOP lessons we’ve learned (that don’t have so much to do with podcasting as much as they have to do with mindsets, consistency, and winning with less. The main points ...

Neither one of us grew up understanding the importance of rest. In fact, we were praised for working hard and going hard (which DOES merit its own celebrations). However, when the balances aren’t equal, we get out of balance. How many times have you ‘fought’ for work/life balance only to find that it constantly eludes you? We get it. Work/Life balance may not be a perfect blend of everything in your life (which may or may not exist- but that’s for another episode). On today’s episode of the Marr...

Although we’ve addressed issues around why a spouse may hate his/her spouse’s business, we’ve been quiet about what to do about it. Should you continue to build the business? Should you go full steam ahead? Or should you pause? Such loaded questions for a 30ish minutes episode. However, on today’s Marriedpreneur Life podcast, we are tackling it. Here are the 3 main areas we’ll be highlighting on episode 198 of the Marriedpreneur Life podcast: 📝 The two types of support (and determining which on...

Between running a staffing firm, consultancy, and a realty company between the two of us, we’ve learned a thing or two about hiring the right (and wrong) support. For us. It’s never just about the obvious areas, but we’ve learned to ALSO prepare our own systems for bringing on help. This has impacted our marriage and business on the journey. The more prepared we are on the front end, the easier the process will be. Even with the most proficient team member, without the right checklist, things ca...

When we share our delegation process with other marriedpreneurs, like clockwork, there’s one question that ALWAYS comes up. The question has to do with how to hire the right person and it usually goes back to is it worth it when it can be done in-house- i.e. by yourselves. Before we can even go into properly answering that predicament, the real issue of the MINDset must be addressed. Over the next several episodes we will be walking you through all kinds of liquid gold content as it pertains to ...

We have heard it all pretty much. Tons of reasons (excuses) aspiring marriedpreneurs don’t take the leap. It’s time to inform some and remind others, what actually ISN’T needed to start your business. To be clear, starting, sustaining, and scaling are all different phases. But we can’t reasonably address the last two without conquering the first. If you (or your spouse) have been on the fence about starting your first (or next) business venture, this is for you. Here are the other areas we’re co...

According to Qualtrics, the world's leading insight platform, People consistently overestimate their own productivity by 11 percent. Productivity is directly related to efficiency. I don’t believe a lack of momentum is only based on activity. Although it plays a large role, there are a few other often overlooked areas that can cap a couple’s business and personal growth as well. The two ‘E’ twins are ‘Efficient’ and ‘Effective’. They go hand in hand when it comes to building a sustainable legacy...

We’ve never dedicated an episode to Women’s History Month but what better time to shine a light on what we wife-preneurs aspire to be in our own way? We’ve likely heard tons of amazing stories already of women who have changed the world. But we’re going to come from a slightly different approach. One of the most prolific and often talked about women in scripture is one whose name isn’t mentioned, but her character and amazing works ARE. I want to share 7 beliefs of the Proverbs 31 women and what...

“If you’re the smartest one in your circle, it’s time for a new circle.” Heard that one before? This episode is our final installment of the mindset mess series (for now) and we may step on a few toes...but it’s all in love. The truth is, we can’t address mindset messes without addressing our mindsets towards others. This particular episode wasn’t ‘planned’ in the way we plan others. We were laying in the bed one morning and sharing thoughts about how the culture promotes toxic (and unbiblical) ...

As kingdom-minded marriedpreneurs, we have a unique goal in the marketplace. The point of business is to be profitable, yes, but if we are not first faithful in how we steward people, our motives, and how we DO business, we will find ourselves losing our salt and light. This misses the entire point. The truth is, you can do the right thing, wrongly. We, as Kingdom citizens, must know what the distinction is without tainting our motives yet still being profitable. Over the years, we’ve invested u...

Mindset is the thing that can’t be seen but it’s powerful enough to keep us stagnant. This is why over the next 3 episodes we are addressing mindset messes that most sweep under the rug...not us. This week is about the normalcy of disorder. Dysfunction at its core is disorder. It’s one thing to be aware of it. It’s another thing to become acclimated to it (and even fight to keep it). The thing about being acclimated to dysfunction is it is often rooted in deception. For example, if one has false...

Today, we are diving into what disciplined decisions represent and how to make them every time.
