Tell us about your love story.

We met in 2001 through a mutual friend who insisted we were perfect for each other. Although we were both attracted to each other, we remained friends for years. Coincidentally, we both went through a breakup in 2007. We met at a famous lounge in Philadelphia and have been inseparable ever since.

At the time, I was just graduating from Temple University and was a consultant for a huge Fortune 500 company. My husband, Demetrius, was an entrepreneur, real estate investor, used car dealer, and owned a body shop.

I was intrigued by the fact that Demetrius was free to create and work in his own time. So I wanted to learn more about entrepreneurship and he was willing to teach me. I remember one day I heard about an investment opportunity he had for flipping cars and I wanted to be a part of it. So I decided to invest $10,000 in his business. This decision required trust because we were just dating at the time. All I knew was that I could build with him. I loved his business acumen. Of course he was shocked when I told him I wanted to be in it, but that’s what led us to become Lovepreneurs.

How did your concept “Lovepreneurs” come about?

The term “lovepreneur” arose out of conflict. It was not an easy task to unite two strong individuals. We realized that we needed support to be successful together. In our quest to learn and grow in the community of love and business, we did not find this support group. We realized we weren’t the only couples facing these challenges. In 2012, two years after Demetrius and I got married, we realized we had to take the initiative to build this community of lovers and business couples. We started researching and reaching out to other couples. We have had hundreds of couples in our community where we have been able to follow their journey and collect case studies. Then it was more of an exclusive community for entrepreneurial couples. In 2016 we had our first Love and Business: Is It Worth It conference.

How do you arrange work and private life?

We believe in systems and principles that we both agree on. These principles help make this love and business work dynamically. One of our standards is “one vision, different positions”. We divide and conquer our roles based on our strengths and weaknesses. We live our “lovepreneurship” as a realistic lifestyle, not as a fad or trend. We focus on our family and business goals. We practice teamwork and practice healthy communication. We know our time is our currency, so we make time management a priority. While we have busy schedules raising families, building businesses, and growing in our marriages, we recognize that we cannot sacrifice our quality time and intimacy with one another.

What are your top 5 tips on how entrepreneur couples can remain professional despite infidelity?

1. Rethink your personal and relationship standards and make this season a teachable and trainable moment.
2. Make consulting a lifestyle. During the consultation, you will be educated about your set standards for yourself personally and in your relationship.
3. Find a village for accountability. Commitment lasts longer in the community. That’s why over 88% of our Lovepreneur members still get rich together.
4. The couple must submit to the mission. The mission must be bigger than your emotions, but never bigger than your standards.
5. You have to forgive and let go. Forgiveness should relate to yourself and not to the other person. Forgiveness grants you the freedom to think and love freely.

Bonus:

• Healthy, productive, and conscious communication with each other should be the standard to keep the relationship respectful and professional. Create small challenges for each other that encourage change.
• growth and change [doesn’t] happens only by what you say, but by what you do.

Is it fair to say that getting lost in business can play a part in what can lead a couple to experience infidelity?

Absolutely.

There will be occasions when there is no intimacy. In some cases, when there is no intimacy in a particular area of ​​the business or relationship, infidelity fills in the gaps within the relationship. When one partner is more into the business than the other, resentment and negative thoughts can overwhelm your partner.

That’s one of the reasons we teach our “Lovepreneurs” how to unify their goals into ONE mission. This way, both partners are part of the same vision, which helps avoid DI-VISION. Both parties need to be invested so no one feels inadequate or lonely. Jealousy of success can make your partner feel left out. However, let us be clear that infidelity and betrayal are acts done to fill a self-emptiness or desire. This self-emptiness stems from their past or an outside influence. Often this type of behavior is deeply rooted in a trauma that has never been addressed and carried into the current relationship. Many infidelities could be avoided if there is open communication and both partners make this a priority.

What advice can you give couples to rebuild their businesses and marriages after infidelity?

Set standards for your relationship. We created the Grow Rich Lovepreneur devotional to help power couples set standards on their love and business journey. After agreeing to these standards, you must forgive. Forgiveness must be an act, not just a promise. The perpetrator must ask for forgiveness, show remorse, and accept responsibility for his or her actions. The abuser must be willing to pay the price for his infidelity, and the offended person sets the terms. The conditions must encourage change on both sides, trust and healthy communication. The renovation season will not be easy. Nevertheless, the path to a community that promotes commitment is worthwhile. Some things turn out to be stronger than the original when it’s rebuilt.

What helps restore trust?

1. forgiveness
2. Not [being] a repeat offender
3. healthy communication
