A message from Brandon and Sam:
“Look, life gets crazy! We get it, when you’re being pulled in a million different directions, most people will just quit. But you’re different, that’s why you’re here. You need to remember at the end of the day, the good this life has to offer always outweighs the bad. We have found that when you approach life with positivity, proactivity, fearlessness, and love, you can get what you want as long as you are willing to put in the work it takes to get there.”

For the first time in over 16 years of business, serving hundreds of CEOs, I got sued! . Yep! Someone entered into a contract with my company was not only suing my company but also named me personally, meaning he was out for blood. Not just trying to hurt my business but specifically me and my family. . I don't care how strong your marriage is, the first time you get sued can go over like a fart in church! . My wife could have easily said things like.... . "I told you we never should have trusted him!" . "You should have listened to me!" . "Lawyers are going to cost us a fortune even when we win!" . "You're too nice! Why do you always believe people who say they've changed?" . After the initial shock, we laughed in disbelief and reminded each other that we can get through anything! . "FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE..." aka RIDE OR DIE BABY! . We all made this vow on our wedding day but when life tries to throw tragedy your way or you find yourself under attack, do you remember that promise? . For many couples, it can be easier to default to... 1. Keeping score 2. Finger pointing 3. Blaming one another . The key to helping your marriage survive tough times is to make sure your relationship is built on a strong foundation before hard times strike. . In this 4-part series, we're going to share the facts about this recent attack and how it impacted our marriage, finances, and family life in hopes that you take away some insights that will serve you the next time you're going through a hard time. . This week we're talking about the foundation, which is everything. . Here's some of the tips we'll be covering: . Talk things out Seek help from others Keep the tragedy in perspective Be flexible Avoid finger pointing (you're on the same team) Accept each other's differences . LOOK...Don't wait for a crisis to build on your Ride or Die foundation. Together you guys can get through anything. I hope this series helps you see that even we get attacked and it's not always sunshine and rainbows at The Middleton's either. . Love you guys, B

Prep for the Holiday Season... . Holy crap, it's November already?! . That means time with family, eatin' good, and all the holiday festivities... . It also means DRAMA...you know that in-law that always has an opinion about how he/she could have done better? . Or that negative Aunt Nancy who loved to bring up the past and poo poo on your life choices? . We all have them. The family or friends that just don't understand how to have a little perspective and a positive attitdue...REGARDLESS of what happened in the past. . Life is messy...for all of us. . What's important is to be grateful for what you have and always seek to get better. . This is A LOT easier to do with your husband/wife by your side BUT if you have spent all year whining to your family about your spouse, don't expect these family gatherings to be all peachy. . This week we discuss how important it is to paint your spouse in a positive light as often as possible. . At the end of the day, no one is on your team more than the person you vowed to love in sickenss & health, till death do you apart. . Let's double down on the love an gratitude this holiday season by edifying our Ride or Dies and keeping the complaining to the ones who can actualy effect change...your husband/wife...not your mom, dad, best friend, etc.
Parenting tips for happy kids . Ugh...the mom/dad guilt was STRONG this week!! . So often we are so busy and rushing that we just want the kids to pick up their toys, brush their teeth, get dressed, etc. so we can get out the door without being late for once! . In all this rushing we tend to say things like "do it or else.." or when asked "why do I have to" we say "because I said so" (God we sound like our parents right?! lol . In this episode we dive into a more effective way to talk with the kids so you get what you want with less yelling or tantrums. . WARNING: This is NOT a quick fix. It requires more patience than you probably feel you have BUT, with enough practice, you'll be raising kids that make it THEIR idea to take responsibilty for the things you're always telling them to do. . What's working for you? Have you tried this approach before? . Let us know in the comments!

It happens between couples AND between parents and children Recognize that no one has power over you. YOU choose your reactions and behavior.

It takes time to become aware of, and eventually immune to, The Power Struggle. Breaking the mold of “traditional” (old-fashioned) relationship roles. “Breadwinner” syndrome. Learning the dance and respecting each other’s role in parenting, in the relationship, and in business. January is the biggest month for the divorce rate - get through the holiday season! Timing is everything! Learn to identify where your partner’s focus is and ride the wave until the timing is more appropriate. Understand when and how each other learns and recharges their power. Don’t give away your power! Avoid comparing yourself on social media or at dinner parties. Everyone shows off their bells and whistles, and most people hide their failures and weaknesses.
