Welcome, everybody.
Welcome to Mindset Monday.
Happy Monday.
We are working on some new tech stuff today.
I got to step into my tech genius this morning.
So does everything look good, Megan, Kimberly, on the app?
App is good.
What?
App is good.
Woo!
OK.
Hello, everybody in the Rainmaker app.
Welcome to Mindset Monday.
Hello, everyone in the Facebook group.
And hi, everybody in Zoom.
Good morning.

Hey, Melissa.
Hey, Lauren.
Fannin.

Tara.
Hello, everybody, and welcome.
How's everyone feeling today?
Would love to do a quick check-in in the chat.
How's everyone feeling?
Where's the energy at in the room this morning?
How is everybody feeling today?
How are we doing?
Off to a great start.
Doing well.
Feeling good.
Feeling great.
Love it.
Energized.
Me too, Lauren.
I'm feeling energized too.
Something really cool we're doing
is we're streaming into the Rainmaker app.
That was just a fun tech thing I got to step into this morning
and just step up in my skills.
Just feeling energized from that.
Anybody know how that feels,
like when you conquer something, right?
It's like, heck yes.
I can do hard things.
I can do things I didn't think I could do, right?
So that's me and that's the energy
I'm bringing this morning.
And yeah, we're just excited to be here with you guys.
So as you know, the fourth Monday of the month,
we've got on the spot one-on-one coaching, okay?
So who is ready to get their mind right this morning?
Okay, who is ready to be vulnerable?
Who's ready to step into their next level?
Because that's what we are on this call for, okay?
Yes, Kim, we are here for you all,
the whole Success Coach team.
We just, again, this is our,
we all have our own superpowers, right?
Each of us carries something so special
and we get to release that to you guys today.
So I'm gonna go through a couple of announcements.
We're gonna drop a couple of links,
but only a few at a time, okay?
We're not gonna drop them all in a row this time.
And I want you to be thinking, where are you stuck?
Is there a thought that keeps going on and on
that's keeping you stuck in your business?
Where are you feeling, maybe you're just unmotivated?
Where could you use just a boost of motivation, energy?
You get our coaching right now, y'all.
We are here for you.
So I want you to be thinking,
where would you like to be unstuck, okay?
So I want you all to be thinking,
and once I'm done with the announcements,
you're gonna put your virtual hands up,
which is the React button down below,
and you'll raise your virtual hands,
and we're just gonna go one by one and coach you all, okay?
You excited for that?
This has been a vision
that we've been able to birth this year,
and it's been nothing but just incredible breakthroughs,
incredible results,
and we expect nothing less of that today, okay?
So be thinking about that, get ready for that.
I do want to say hello to all the success coaches.
So if you are a success coach,
go ahead and raise your virtual hands,
and I just wanna say hi to all of you, welcome you.
Hey, Natalie, hey, April, Jenna, Mildred,
Farrah's, I don't know if she's on the call yet,
but we've also got Farrah.
So y'all, this is the team
that you also could potentially win
a second eye session with, right?
Because we've been talking about March Gladness,
and this has been just a fun month
to step into showing up on Mindset Monday
and being here in person, right?
So Mildred, if you could drop the attendance link
and the March Gladness form,
go ahead and drop those two links right now.
Okay, so if you're here, you're in person,
make sure you grab the March Gladness form, okay?
And make sure you grab the attendance link.
And then also, as you guys know,
we have an after party after this call.
Okay, it's about 15 minutes
where myself and a success coach, we stay on,
and we just wanna-
answer all questions coaching related. Okay, are you interested in working with one of these coaches,
having them in your back pocket? You don't have a coach yet? This would be if you don't have a coach
yet. Okay, then you would stay on after me. I'm going to answer all things having to do with
working with one of our amazing success coaches. So that's what the after party is for. And if you
come to the after party, you also will get to be entered into our merch bonus drawing for a second
time. So don't forget that next Monday, March 31, we are throwing a big old party. Okay,
so we are going to announce the winners. We're going to pick the winners at random
this week, after today. And then we are going to release the winners next Monday. And you want to
be on the call. Why? Because you are going to get to choose which success coach you want your
32nd iSession with. Okay. So if you are want to make sure you're here, and then we're going to
just do a lot of celebrating. So this also is just going to boost your spirit being here next
week. Okay, we're just gonna have a big party. So I just encourage you to wear something fun
to our call next week. Okay, just like as if you're going to celebrate somebody's birthday,
or you know, wear something fun. I'm probably going to wear something sparkly because that's
how I roll. Okay, so wear something fun next week. We want to celebrate you guys and we want to
celebrate March Gladness and who gets to work with some of our coaches. And it's going to be
so much fun. So come mark your calendars, you'll want to be present for that. And then what's next?
Oh, okay. So the calls for the week, I'm going to drop them right now what we have for this week
in the community. So in the chat, if you could copy and paste or grab a picture of that,
there's also this information is in the Facebook group. Okay, so this is what you can expect for
the week. We've got Tuesday, media channel mastery, Wednesday, product research using Helium 10.
Thursday, we've got FBA sourcing and shipping. Yes, and then Friday, rain support and launching
PPC. Okay, so go ahead and grab that. That's what we have for this week. And also, if you're in the
Facebook group, you may have seen it. But we've got an incredible opportunity going on in May
called the Seller's Summit. Okay, so the Seller's Summit is when a ton of people who are big into
selling on Amazon and having eCommerce brands, they all come together in Florida and put on
this awesome conference. And our inner circle is actually going to be going. And I'm going to be
going. And some of our face specialists, our coaches are going to go and we've just got some
special things planned for that time. So if you're like, I want to get some in-person time
with some of this community, this is going to be the place for you to go. So right now,
I've dropped the Facebook link for those of you who are in Facebook, and you can get the details
there. And then I also just dropped the link to go with us. We have an affiliate link. And so I
just dropped that. I'm so curious in the call right now. By the way, this is only for masterminers
or inner circle. Who's going to Seller's Summit? Anybody on this call already planning on going,
has already said yes, is like, I'm in, I'm going to be there with the team. Anybody on this call
going? Okay, Lauren. Hey, Lauren, Lauren's going. Anybody else on the call right now? Okay, no. Okay.
Well, it's going to be an amazing event. And we're planning some really cool things. So it's a fun
in-person opportunity for you to come. So go ahead and make sure you have those links for that. And
that's it. That's what I've got. Um, yes. And then Mildred just dropped the links again. Okay.
Sweet. We are going to transition into our time of coaching right now. All right. So
it is so important to under to be able to
see where you're blocked, right?
Because sometimes where we're blocked,
we actually end up staying there
and getting comfortable there, right?
We love our comfort zones.
Comfort zone's like, I wanna live in my comfort zone.
But you've said yes to a community,
you've said yes to building a business
that continually is going to take you
out of your comfort zone, right?
And so how many of us know
when you're out of your comfort zone,
your brain can go haywire.
Oh my gosh, I'm unsafe.
I don't know how to do this.
I'm scared.
Oh my goodness, this is too much.
I feel overwhelmed, right?
I mean, who's all felt that?
Like, this is real, right?
And so we know that our emotions,
overwhelm, anxiety, stress, fear,
and uncertainty, confusion,
that comes from a thought.
And our thoughts come from our beliefs.
And so we wanna try to dig a little bit
into those beliefs, get you some momentum today.
And let's just be honest,
it's vulnerable sharing where you feel suck.
It almost can feel like showing weakness.
And some of us, and I know for myself,
being weak is not necessarily
what I like to put on display for people.
But we're changing that up.
And that's what this space is for.
This space is to say, you know what?
I embrace your weakness.
Let's show your weaknesses.
And let's step into more strength because of that.
Because we all have them.
We all have moments where we just feel stuck.
We all have moments where we need some coaching.
And you all are in a community
where we wanna see you guys get out of stuck zone,
stuck bill, as soon as possible.
And it takes courage to do that.
So before we kind of step into,
I want you to be thinking like,
when you're ready to get some breakthrough,
when you're ready to share,
you're gonna put your hands up here in a minute.
But right before we get started,
Janine, will you just kind of lead us into like,
feel like that was a lot of information.
So I just wanna like take a moment.
Could you lead us into a breath, taking a breath?
I can, I was actually gonna ask April if she wanted to,
but I don't mind.
I just felt like, I know when we get vulnerable,
it can be scary.
And it's Monday, you've got a long to-do list.
And it's just like,
can we just like get us mind in the right space?
So April, I don't know if you wanna do it
or you want me to jump in or you wanna,
April's like really, it's nice when April does it.
I don't mind doing it.
I do this as well.
Yeah, no, this is good.
I was actually just private messaging
about easing into the week.
So how about we all just ease into the week together?
That works for you.
So let's just start.
If you don't mind taking your hand,
taking one hand and putting it on your heart space
and the other hand,
and maybe putting that towards your belly.
So you're just giving yourself a little hold,
a little loving touch.
When's the last time you've held yourself?
And just start here,
taking a nice deep breath in through your nose
and out through your mouth.
And if you want, if it feels good,
even giving a nice exhale, like an audible.
Letting go of any activities from the weekend errands.
Maybe your kids are on spring break.
Deep breath in and letting it all go.
And exhale.
Thinking about what's on the to-do list
as we step into the week,
but also remembering that you have a to-be list as well.
So stepping into who it is that you want to be this week,
as you take in that next deep breath.
And exhale.
Knowing that you are supported,
you are supporting yourself right now by being on this call.
You are supported by the team or the coaches on this call.
And so as you take in that last deep breath,
allowing yourself to step fully into this call with ease.
And with that, I'll hand it back over to you, Danielle.
Thank you.
That was so nice.
Oh, isn't it so lovely?
Thank you, April.
Such a good idea to just step into that.
For, it just doesn't just shift you so quick.
Just a couple of breaths, like a couple.
hands on us. How beautiful, how powerful. So who's ready to get into coaching?
Who's like, who wants to be the first person to step into courage and
get some coaching? Go ahead and go to react and you can hit raise sound or raise hand.
And we can, we're just going to wait patiently. We're here for you guys.
Okay, Shannon. Shannon says I'll go. All right, Shannon. Courage. Courage, right? Let's go,
girl. All right. So I think one of the challenges for me has happened in phase two
in getting quotes from my supplier and just like making sure I move everything along
quickly. I've had challenges with both of the products I'm trying to launch because I have
very unique innovations and it's just taken a long time to kind of sort through that with
the manufacturer, like, can they do this at what price can they do it? And so I think one of the
things that happens to me is, you know, I want to meet deadlines and like timetables and stuff.
But for me, just personally, building a relationship with who I'm working with is
so paramount. Like, that's just like, so, so important to me to like, always, you know,
communicate with like, professionalism, courtesy, integrity. And so I'm working with this like
culture, you know, in China that I've never really worked with before. And I'm trying to find this
balance, right. To like get answers and get things done timely, but also show respect. And
I feel like it's just caused like, you know, time to pass and pass and pass. I did finally make
traction in this, but it just took a lot of time. So for me, it's like trying to balance like this
element of communication to where I'm getting things done in a good time, but I'm also kind of
showing respect and professionalism for their process as well.
Yeah. So would you say that you are, where would you say you're struggling? Would you say it's the
timeline? Are you saying you wish that they would get back to you quicker?
Yeah, I think I kind of wish I would have like, maybe set myself up in the beginning to get
um, to get quotes in order quicker. Like maybe if I communicated it differently,
then that would have pushed things along differently.
Okay. So I think you're onto something already communicating differently because how you
communicate is so big and number one, building a relationship. And then also you're teaching your,
you're teaching them how you operate. You're teaching them what you allow and do not allow.
You're also teaching them what is respect look like for you. And so let me, let me ask you this,
when you can, it sounds like it might be like maybe some language shifting in your communication,
but when you communicate, do you ask for things to be a certain, like something to be done by a
certain date? Do you get that? That's the, that's what was missing before I was just going out and
getting quotes, like, here's what I need. Can you do this at what price versus like,
this is my project. Here's what I need. And I need to know if you can do it by this state and
at, you know, and what, at what cost. So I feel like that might've been where the missing element
that I just didn't think to like do upfront. Yeah. So here's what's really cool. And Tara just
popped this in the chat and Tara, we're on the same wavelength here because like any type of
relationship, I was, I was just talking about this yesterday. You try something. It doesn't
work. You try something else. You try that doesn't work. You try something else. And in
communication, it really does come down to taking into consideration. How did they respond to you?
And then asking yourself, what do I need? And when do I need it by, right? And then you ask for it.
Exactly. I need, and when do I need it by? So it sounds like Shannon, a good next step for you
would be asking yourself, what do I need? And when do I need it by? And then saying, yeah,
I want you to write those two questions down and then don't be scared to ask for it and, or not
even ask, tell them. Cause you know what? Um, on the other end, they also want your business and
they also want a relationship with you and respect for them could also be direct communication.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Very true. Yeah. Does that any, I don't know if any other success coaches
want to add anything to Shannon, Jenna, go ahead. Yeah, I do real quick. So.
One thing I would love for you to think about, this is for everybody, in regards to timelines
and deadlines, is it is perfectly okay to shift your goals and shift your deadlines.
Because when you're starting this venture, you really don't know what to expect.
And making deadlines and having something to aim for is fantastic, but you are making,
when you start phase two, you are making a deadline, a goal, based on what you know right
then. Then you start talking to manufacturers, and you start getting headway, then you start
making adjustments, and you have new information, and it is okay to change your goals, change your
deadlines, change your expectations, as long as you keep on changing them based on data,
instead of having these arbitrary deadlines that we then feel like we need to hit, just because
we pulled a deadline, we pulled a day out of thin air, not knowing what to expect.
So I would just be really careful when you, I guess be aware, when you make a deadline,
when you make a goal, what is that coming from? And as you learn new information, adjust.
You're always making new goals based on the new information that you have,
and based on whatever you need to shift. I think that was really key for me,
because my mind was getting like trapped in this like pressurized state, and as soon as I like
released that, and said you know what, I'm just going to make sure I'm making progress on as much
as I can, as fast as I can on my goal, and if the deadline has to shift because I'm doing the right
things, so be it. As long as like I'm financially okay with the extension, and it's not going to
put me in a pickle, as soon as I took that mentality that you just said, that's when
things started moving again, and I started doing the right thing. So that was really cool.
And I love, I love what you said, as long as I'm doing everything I can, because it's really easy
to get comfortable moving deadlines, and pushing things back, and oh I guess I can't make it by the
state, but is that true? And are you doing everything that you can, or is it your brain
making you stay in your comfort zone, and you keep pushing out deadlines, so that you never really
get anything done? Yeah. That's also some of the sneakier that our brain does. So I love that you
said, as long as I'm doing everything I can do, then you work with what you have. Exactly.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
So good. Thank you Shannon for starting us off there. Thank you. Like there's something for
everybody, right? Like when somebody else is getting coached, and we're releasing something
for them, I'm like, how many people did that already like serve and help, right? A lot of you
are, right? Like you're learning how to build relationships, you're learning how to talk with
manufacturers, you're learning how to, what is my goal? What is my timeline? What do I want to
get after, and what does that look like? So good. All right. Jessica, how can we serve you?
Hi. So I, well, I'll just say I was really down last week. My son was home sick, and now I'm sick,
and I feel like I just couldn't do much of anything. But now it's a new week. So I couldn't
sleep at all. This morning I started at 4am. I just got out of bed and started doing my,
I'm in phase one, going through my RF, not RFQ, product qualifier tools. I got like six done,
and I'm seeing that I, I initially had all of these, I had gone through the keyword search
in, in Helium 10. And a lot of these numbers have changed from just maybe a week ago when I,
when I initially put them on my list to further research. And a few are, the numbers have adjusted
quite a lot. Like one, the competing products are up from under 1,000 to under 2,000. And one,
it jumped from under 1,000 to under 100,000. So that's automatically off my list now. But
I mean, if the products are, the numbers are changing so quickly, what numbers do we trust?
Like, that seems very strange to me. So that's one hang up. And then,
And so let me make, let me, let me stop you there. First, I would like to celebrate you,
that you're learning.
the product qualifier tool. So can we like give Jessica some love in the chat? Because that's a
tool that takes time. It takes reps. It takes learning. So I just want to celebrate you for
working on that. So great job. Thank you. Yeah, good. And then it sounds like your
question, what would you say your question is? How do I trust the numbers?
Is that your question? Yeah. Okay.
There is so much variation. A lot of them didn't vary much, just off by a few numbers,
but some jumped quite a lot. And that was very surprising. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody want to jump in?
You guys are very sweet. Because it's like my very first filter is taking them through
the keyword search and through, okay, you know, how many searches, how many competing products.
And if it meets that criteria, then I move on to the next one, which is the, you know, qualifier.
But some that previously made it through that first phase, I guess,
or step now are not passing through, I guess, is the concern there.
So the numbers do change. That is a very real thing. Anybody here who's done product research
knows. And it is very important. This step is extremely important to learn and to, you know,
make sure the numbers are aligning. So I would rephrase your question. Actually,
I don't think your question is, can I trust the numbers? Okay. I think the question may be,
Jessica, do you trust yourself? Yeah, you do. Oh, I mean, you're
if I want to, cause usually like when we're looking for trust in things,
there's actually something deeper going on and it's, and I'm not trying to take away from like,
actually numbers. That's, I think you're actually better at that than you think already,
but I would just want to say, where's your trust level with yourself
in learning this process right now? Let's just, what would you give yourself? Would you rate
yourself one to 10, 10 being, I totally trust myself. I got this. One being like,
I trust myself for sure. Yeah. I think I'm able to figure this out. Like I feel
pretty confident about it. But there's like little red flags that keep kind of popping up
here and there. Like even this might just get too convoluted. Like some of these that actually
passed the, you know, got high scores, but the profit margin is quite low or negative.
So then it's like, wait, how does that product even qualify if it's,
you know, so there's some issues that I'm just a little confused on.
I did something real quick, Jessica. Yes. So I think part of this is probably a technical
question that you may need to go to a Wednesday call for, but you said something that was really
interesting. I don't know if you caught it. You said this number changed. So that automatically
disqualifies the keyword. And I would just challenge you and ask, is that true? Can you
repeat that? When you were showing us your numbers, you said this one number changed
and that automatically disqualifies the keyword. So I answered my own question.
Well, my question is, is that true?
If the change, if the number changes, does that automatically?
If one number doesn't look great, is that keyword automatically not good?
Or is it possible you are disqualifying things prematurely?
Oh, because maybe you don't trust something. Maybe you don't trust the numbers. Maybe you
don't trust yourself. Maybe you don't trust, I don't know what. And if you can disqualify
something early, then you get to stay in phase one.
Well, one jumped by a thousand and one jumped by 99,000. So the 99,000 one,
I was like, nope, that's not going to work.
Yeah, let's dig it let's let's do more exploring and see why did this jump that much. And how does it jumping that much, make a difference, because it may make a difference or it may not be as significant as you're assuming it is.
Oh,
I'm confused.
I guess I'm confused.
What specifically is confusing.
Why would a number jumping to 92 from 1000 competing products to 100,000 competing products.
Why would that not be significant enough to disqualify it.
Well, because we need to know.
There's other things worth digging into.
And I think in a phase, a Wednesday call could answer that but what I think is that it's possible that you are disqualifying things prematurely.
Okay, so just keep running, even based on my initial numbers keep running them through and see how.
Yeah, well ask yourself you know this number changed. Why does that matter and how much does it matter.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll do that.
You got some great comments in the chat Jessica, I would go check it out because some people have reasons as to why it might have jumped so it's going to add to your product research to just like you know was saying reach a little bit further and actually look
why, why did it change why did it go up why did it go down. Yeah.
But definitely get on the Wednesday call because that call is specifically for product research. Okay, great. Thanks so much. I appreciate it.
Yeah, I, I, when I worked as a success coach for a while and I would tell people in the product research phase that it's kind of like learning a new language or dating.
You, you, you gotta put in your reps you got to try it over and over and over again and when you see a red flag.
Get curious with it like what Jenna told you like ask yourself what does this mean is this really a red flag that these, what does this numbers mean to me, and you get to decide Jessica what your next step is how empowering is that.
So if you're in a community where you can hop on the Wednesday call you can hop on this call, you can ask the community, and also get support, which you just did so great job.
Thank you. We're looking forward to you having a TSRK that fits exactly what you want what you're looking for what you came in here to do, and then you get to move on to phase two.
Thank you. Welcome. Thank you for letting us see you.
So great job.
Kim.
Hi.
Okay, so my problem is that I have too many ideas I think.
So it first it starts with my current day job, it's only 16 hours a week, because I also have my own business, and which is increasingly taking more time.
But I really want to not be in that job anymore because he's a dickweed. And that's basically the whole reason because the work is not that bad, but I just want to be the last piece of dependence, and be able to let it go.
So my sales of my current, my, my, I launched this year, you know, February, January 1 for ones who don't know, and it's really going great beyond expectations, I'm still, I'm in between like, because you can see in the sellers in the app right how if you do on a monthly
view, how much you gone up in sales.
It's always around 90% more than last month. And so and still going up.
Yeah, I know. And so it's really exhilarating and it maybe I'm scared it makes me a little bit too.
How do you say it in to
I don't want to quit the job because I can now pay myself I calculated if I stay at this level, without any other without even going up from here.
I can pay myself more a month than that what I get from that job.
After I did all the calculations like you said in the with the 30% for this and 30 that and so only the owners.
compensation is more than my paycheck now. Okay, so girl,
awesome. Yeah, but then okay, so now is here's the problem,
because I should really do a second product before I'd make
such a huge decision like that to be more secure. But then and
now I have so many ideas of things I want to do, but they
are all, well, the planner is doing so well, I can, I feel
like I can't top that one. So everything else seems like, Oh,
should I do that? Which one should I choose? And the
numbers, like a Pomodoro kit I want to do, but there are the
search search volume is zero, because it's a new product, and
nobody has it. So I have to focus more on the brand first,
maybe. So but then yesterday, I thought, Oh, wait, you know, I
can also do a team planner. It's basically the same product
with basically all the same words. And then maybe I can just
lift on all of my own products.
And now I'm like,
okay, I knew you're gonna call me. You know, it's the idea
queen as well.
And I already planned a call with her for Friday, because I
just recently did the new year. And so I got with her on
Friday. But I figured I hop in here and maybe we have more time
to go in it more precise, and we can tackle the side.
I think you actually answered your own question, Kim.
I agree. I agree.
You did actually answer your own question. Should I launch a
second one to get that going? I'm not sure. Should I work on
the brand first get the, you know, brand built so that I can
then launch a product that makes sense. Maybe I should just do a
team version. That's the same. I just want to give everyone
permission to make mistakes. Because I feel that sometimes
the only way that you're going to do it is by doing it. And
that's how you're going to learn. And that's what you're
going to know what to do. So, Kim, I want to ask the question.
This is something that I always ask a lot of people, what is
serving the business right now? What makes sense for the
business? If you can take all the emotions out, what makes
sense for the business right now? Because I know having
multiple ideas, we can do all of those things, but which one is
the right one now for the business? And that might take
some product research, you also want to consider, do you want to
put more money in or does the team version of the book make
more sense because it's going to be less of a spend, it's going
to come always down to data. You all know, we have to not just
make hard decisions, we have to make head decisions as well.
It's a combination. But I think that you've already answered
your question, actually.
Okay, so my gut says, maybe go for the team first, so I can get
more because it's the it's the safe bet. I feel and then so the
Pomodoro timer is really like a pet project of mine, which the
numbers don't say it's going to be a success. But my gut says
it's gonna be a success. But then I'd have to do a lot more
legwork for that. And so maybe it's better to do that in a more
secure position where I already have two products that are going
right. Yeah.
And I think you're building the brand. That's the whole point. By
the time that third products out, I see so many comments as
well go with brand consistency, build the brand, you know,
ultimately for everyone, if you don't know, the goal is to
launch on Amazon, but to build the brand, you don't want to
just I joke, you don't want to be a glorified product retailer
working for Amazon, right? Unless that is enough for you.
That's fine. But ultimately, if you want to sell the business,
or you want to quit your job, or you want to go bigger, you have
to build a brand.
Okay, so I have a question because I'm from the Netherlands
and you are in the US. So you're my audience. Do you use school
planners or study planners? Is that something because we do it
in our high schools, but I'm I wasn't sure if that's even I
mean, I can see numbers, but just as moms, do you does? Do
you do the high school planners? You have those you do what you
put in your curriculum and then I do this only I figured I do
like a week overview, but only the time blocks of school time
so you can put in all your homework or whatever. Is that
something you you? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Okay. A little product
research on the side here.
Research. Remember, we're just we're a small little group. So
but I'm
I know, but and you know, I can see numbers for search volumes,
but I was
I'm sure if I'm describing the product correctly, if it's called a school
planner, or how do you, how would you call it?
So that would be something you and Janine just popped in the chat.
You and Janine can dig into that a little bit deeper.
Typically.
One last thing I want to say to you is you said something that stuck out to me.
You, you said for your first product, you said, I can't top that one.
Yes.
I'm because it's doing so incredibly well.
I want to, I am on 30 organic pages on the, on the, in the top
10 without, without any ads.
So how do I celebrate it with you?
What?
Not that I'm complaining, but it makes me a little bit scared.
So April, you have something for Kim.
Oh, you're you're hands up.
Okay.
I had, I want to talk.
Yes.
Finish what you're saying.
Cause I have something totally different.
No, I'm going to have you be our last person for Kim
and then we'll go on to Shuri.
Okay.
Yes.
I think it's on the same lines of this belief, right.
Of like, I can't top that.
I even heard you say about the job that feels like it's sucking out of you.
And, but I should, should I even stay there?
And I'm just like, girl, like, first of all, congratulations on your
success in like two months time, three months time, right.
You're like, you're soaring right now.
And so just like Janine asked you, what makes sense for the business?
What also makes sense for Kim right now too?
Right.
Is it, is it to be in a position where your energy's kind of getting sucked
and, and maybe like you, you could have a little bit more of yourself to, to
put into the business, to put into developing the ideas, I just want you
to kind of think about what is the story that you're telling yourself right
now, which we just heard, like, I can't top it, right.
We, we already know we have to work on that.
Cause that, that may not be true.
That's most likely not true.
Right.
And there's going to be some opportunities for you to explore with Janine, but
what's the other part holding you back from going all in on yourself and on your
business?
Yeah, that's the, that's the part of, um, uh, stepping into the unknown and
you know, I've, I've been a business owner for five years, but this is the
first time I'm actually considering that the numbers are good enough, uh, to, to,
to really, uh, be, uh, independence and not be reliable on a, on a, uh, a boss.
And it's a little bit scary.
Uh, so that's, and, but I'd actually just yesterday I talked to chat TPT and crunch
the numbers and I was just really surprised that it was actually more than I
actually make with the day job.
The, if only the owner's composition, even if it doesn't, uh, go further up as
this, I'm already there within three months, but it's, it feels like maybe I'm
cheering too soon or something.
What if it dips?
And that's the, that's what the brain will do.
Cause it's like, we don't have nothing to go on.
It's unknown.
It's scary.
It's like dark.
I'm not sure what's over here.
And so maybe I just stay where I am.
And that is like the trick, right?
The trick of the, or the illusion of the brain and your job is to say, look, even
with the data that I have, like, like if I have to look at the data, the data
proves I have been successful and I have built this thing that's going to carry me
through whatever little darkness I cannot see ahead of me.
I have this light.
Right.
And so I'm just going to encourage you to really sit with that and really trust
yourself and, uh, and the data so far that you're trying to say all the
big, the comments are so nice.
They're so here for you.
We are here for you.
Okay.
You got this girl.
I just wanted to just don't let that story keep you stuck.
Okay.
Great.
Thanks.
Welcome Kim.
And thank you for sharing.
I mean, that was really encouraging, right?
Like that right there, there's success.
You guys can all be where Kim's at, right?
Like this is, this is possible for all of you.
Yeah.
I never expected it myself.
Right.
And, um, Benjamin club interview, not that long ago.
I'm going to be, we're going to be doing grand Rand maker here pretty soon.
So keep going, Kim.
Thank you so much.
Also, somebody asked you to drop your link, which I thought was,
I'll do that now.
I was just, I do it now.
Keep going.
Keep us posted.
Yes, I will.
Thank you.
All right.
I see two more hands for the rest of our call.
We'll go Sheree and then Lauren.
Go ahead, Cherie.
Okay, so I know that this possibly
is gonna be a way deeper question,
but in my Rainmaker journey,
I'm so sorry, I have kids in the background,
so I hope it's not too loud.
In my Rainmaker journey,
I have learned more things internally
than I thought I would.
I'm so thankful for it.
I keep coming up to fear of the unknown for the next step,
but also this pit of loneliness in taking the next step,
and somehow it relating to is this really gonna work,
and money relating to loneliness, if that makes sense.
And so I'm at this block of I've just made my bulk order,
I have definite hurdles to still go through,
I'm getting my listing ready,
and finding a photographer, and all these things,
but I get up and trying to figure out
what the next step is,
but I run into this lonely feeling of maybe it won't work,
or maybe I did it wrong,
or maybe I won't make any money,
but it's related.
And so I don't know what outlet or strategies to take
to add energy, because I know that I've taken
so many steps of faith thus far,
but it's connected,
and I can't figure out how it's connected,
if that makes sense.
It makes complete sense.
And I have so much to say right now,
but what I wanna first say is this,
loneliness is attached to a belief, right?
And you actually already got to it.
Maybe it won't work.
Maybe I didn't do it right.
Yeah.
Those thoughts slash beliefs
that are probably creating that loneliness,
and there's obviously more.
Yeah.
Deep, that was there before you even started this business.
And like I say, these things come to the surface
when you step into the unknown.
And so I wanna tell your brain, this is good.
We celebrate these thoughts are coming up and out,
because we want your thoughts,
we want your brain to be able to see your thoughts
and your beliefs so that you,
cause here's the beauty,
you can shift your beliefs,
you can shift your thoughts.
You're the one in control of those.
That's the empowerment here.
And so instead of saying, maybe it won't work,
what have you said?
This will work.
This is working.
I am, I know, see what you did?
See, there's something there.
There's something that you're not believing
around your own success story.
Okay.
Natalie, I know you have something on this
and I felt that.
Go ahead and chime in here.
Oh boy.
Like when you started talking, I was like, yep, yep.
It is.
Entrepreneurship is like one of the most lonely things
you can do,
especially when you don't have somebody cheering you on
in your corner.
And like, I cannot imagine building any business
without some sort of mentor.
That's why so many people have made Rainmakers
the way they've made it,
is because they know they've been there.
And so like, I guess one of my very pointed questions
to you would be like, did you take the extension offer
to have coaching the rest of the year?
I feel like if I would have taken the extension offer,
I would have probably already launched
and like totally in a different place.
But I was like, I think I can do it.
It's going to be great.
Once you jump off the eight week coaching,
I was like, oh, okay.
And I had to like figure things out myself,
but I'm at a point where I'm like,
oh man, someone give me something as I can continue.
Yeah.
Cause I know that the journey is not over when you launch.
Like, and I know that there's so many things
still to happen and I wouldn't want to just drop off,
but yeah, I did not sign up for extension coaching.
Well, we would definitely love to kind of walk you
through what your options are
and get you back in because you really do like,
especially like, I don't know if you're single or not.
Are you single?
Is that?
No, I'm married with five, almost six children.
Well, my word.
You do need somebody.
Why?
You're being so much, just everybody else.
You need somebody that's in your corner
just for this business.
Yeah.
Like a hundred percent.
And so that's where I talk about the difference
between, you know, like loneliness when you're married
and loneliness when you're single, right?
Like you have to have somebody,
whether you're single or whether you're married
in your corner.
for your business, rooting you on,
challenging you, pushing the envelope just a little bit,
making you uncomfortable from time to time
so that you keep moving forward
and you launch like we want you to.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I think it's kind of obvious.
And I think right now I'm at the how can I make that work
to add on coaching and I have to renew my membership
for the next year and all of that currently
I'm at like a maxed waiting to launch my product.
And I've taken so many like, what can I grab from here?
What can I grab from here?
And I am at that point knowing that this is a deeper thing
that like keeps coming up and I'm keeping like in a way
in a healthy way, hopefully like pushing it aside
so I don't stall, but like it won't like leave.
So, cause there's just too many unknown pieces.
It's all linked together.
Yeah.
I wanna say this.
We just dropped the extension coaching.
Have you ever got on a call with a coach just a-
No, so I signed something last week
but I don't know if they called me or I didn't.
They didn't, so I don't know.
Okay, maybe we can double check that.
But we actually have like just really cool things going on
that with your renewal,
you actually can get something tagged with coaching.
I think that I got a text from Mildred saying that.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, okay, I'll look at that.
Mildred, you can check in with-
I think yesterday was my day though to do it.
All right, well, Sheree.
Yes.
Deep beliefs stay with us
until we decide to have another one.
Okay, that's really good.
And it takes, think about how a belief is formed.
Over and over and beliefs are like neural pathways
in your brain that go over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over again.
So if you think about it, the way to create a new one
is to have a new thought over and over and over and over
and over and over and over again.
And then you have a new belief.
Okay.
So you're actually like a system to this.
And there is a Mindset Monday call
that we did on this last year.
I believe Erica did it.
But I think, you know, I just have a lot of empathy for you
because building a business,
I've had to create complete new beliefs and I still do.
Yeah.
I literally woke up this morning
and I read my brain prime is what it's called.
Okay.
Literally read new neural pathways to get into my brain
to like help me get after the things that I want.
But I also hired a coach
and like invested for someone to teach me that
and then to hold me accountable
and to like walk me through when I am in the Valley
and I'm not sure.
And you're so good at being vulnerable and open
that I think a coaching relationship
would just be incredible for you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Like, so we're here for you.
Do you feel good about your next steps?
Yeah.
I think it's confirmed my next steps for sure.
All right, girl, we're in your corner.
Thank you.
Things are coming for you, okay?
Thank you.
Welcome Shuri.
All right.
So I did not see Anne-Marie's hand last time.
So we'll go Anne-Marie and then Lauren.
You're muted Anne-Marie.
Okay.
Hi.
How can we support you?
What question can we help you with?
I wasn't expecting to get on exactly
because I've been so distracted,
but I'm here and I've been listening to a lot of this
and I feel like I've been kind of repetitive.
I've been here for a lot of these Monday class
like calls recently.
And I'm really just stuck in making that next step
to utilize the PPC dimension of this.
And I'm just been really slow to watch the training on it.
And I'm slowly getting there.
I fully plan on doing it,
but I'm just like, there's just this like lump in my chest.
It's like, I'm so hesitant to just dive into that
because of the financial aspect of it.
It's scary.
And I guess I just need that little push.
I've been relying a lot on just social media,
which has been good,
but I can really get sucked into it as just a distraction.
I don't have a VA or anything for my account,
but it has brought business to my listings.
And I'm just kind of a little scared.
know, to, to invest more, more money, you know, um, but I know
if I, if I don't, then, then this really won't go as far as I
want. Um, so if there's any tips on like, that's a big question,
but I'm just, uh, that's where I'm at. And I, I, I just need
like a, I don't know, I just need that, that push to kind of
jump in and, and get the ball rolling, rolling.
Yes. It sounds like you're scared to make an investment
that would keep your business moving forward. And is that
right?
Yeah, basically. I mean, it just seems like so big, you know,
when you, you watch the trainings, I mean, it's just the
amount of money that could go into it is huge. And I, I know
logically that it doesn't have to, I can just, you know, it
doesn't have to be as big as whatever the recommended,
whatever is, um, I don't know, you know, just scary.
Yeah. So I think everybody on this call can relate to where
you're at right now. Am I right? Everybody? Like you nailed it.
Like you're not alone in, um, you know, your fears. It's the
same problem though. That's going to continue to show I'm
gonna be real with you, Emory. It is going to continue to pop
up and keep you stuck until you have the courage to take a
stand to it. Yeah. It could be PPC. It could be phase one of
your second product. It could be, I mean, this is not, it's
not just about your business. This again, business reveals
what's going on underneath. So Emory, what would it look like
to give yourself the gift of stepping into courage. So
courage is doing something even when you're scared and taking
the risk.
Um, well, I mean, I feel like I, what would it look like? Just
trusting, like why I even began this? I mean, this I I'm here.
I'm at, I'm to the point where that, that, that took me a year
to get here, you know? And now I'm like dragging my feet. I'm
like trying to self sabotage or something or something. Yeah.
I think you got to run on the nose there. Yeah. I think, I
think you are. Yeah. And there's, we don't have time to
get into this on this call right now. But it's kind of what I
just said earlier, there's a deep belief going on that's not
working for you. That says something like, I don't deserve
this. I'm not worth it. I, I can't take this risk. It's just
too scary. And if you and if you continue to partner with that,
you will continue to be stuck. Here's the beauty, you don't
have to partner with that anymore. You can choose a
different belief, you can take a risk and see what happens. I
actually did a training on how to embrace the unknown how to
dance into the unknown. I don't know if you guys were on that
call last year. But the reality of it is you don't know the
unknown until it becomes known. Yeah. Then when this unknown
piece becomes known, then there's another unknown over
here looking at you in the eyes. Then what are you going to do
stay stuck in that? You see there's a pattern here and it's
so possible to get out of it. Natalie.
Yeah, so what I was thinking about is that because this is
how I am and I have a feeling I was just listening to you. I was
like, Oh, I feel like she's kind of like me. So, so what I have
to do is when I come up against something that I know is a
limiting belief, but I can't quite get through it. I always
go to education. Like I'm a huge component about having that
adventure mindset. And like, what do I need to learn to make
myself confident about what I'm going into? And so like, if
it's finances, going to NerdWallet, it's there's all
kinds of financial literacy in NerdWallet, going to different
like, banks and credit unions to find out what does it look
like for me to partner with these people when I run out of
money? If it's if it's product research, right? Like I'm
getting on calls and talking with a specialist to figure out
how to do that better. It, it really does help you to gain
confidence in your own self. When you go out and find the
answers that you need, and not wait for somebody else to give
you the answer.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good advice.
I mean, I just like, I know what I need to do and I just, you know, I'm just, they're
just letting the life distractions kind of get in the way and, um, so I just need that
extra motivation, a little cheering or something.
Well, we are here to motivate you and cheer you on to take your next step, girl.
Thanks.
You can do this.
And that's also what coaching is for literally to have that in your back pocket at all times.
Right.
Like, um, so, so glad you're here.
So glad you stayed and, and we are in your corner girl.
Um, okay.
I want to acknowledge it's one minute after, but I got you, Lauren.
I see you.
You're coming right up.
Okay.
We're dropping the, um, March gladness.
Um, not the after party link, Janine.
We're not under the after party quite yet.
I just dropped the March gladness link for this call.
So go ahead and grab that.
I'm also about to drop the attendance form.
It's not all cute and pretty like the other ones.
All right.
There we go.
Um, we've got, um, the March gladness, make sure you grab that.
And then the, um, attendance form.
And then we're going to go with Lauren and then I'm going to transition into the after
party.
Okay.
Lauren, thanks for your patience.
Let's hear it, girl.
All right.
No worries.
Thank you.
So first of all, I can totally relate to so many things that everybody's saying on this
call as per usual.
So it's just nice to know that we're all in this together and I actually just bought Kim's
planner this week.
So I thought that was hilarious when I looked at the link and I was like, Oh my God, I just
got that.
So beautiful job, Kim.
I love it.
This is your sign to quit your job.
You can get another job if you need one.
Oh baby, let's go.
Yes.
Um, but I'm not really feeling stuck.
I'm feeling really good and energized about where I'm at.
I mean, it's been a lot, but I think the reason I kind of raised my hand today is because
I've been really struggling with this kind of vulnerability piece.
Um, I definitely am the kind of person who's very direct.
I'm usually in a leadership role.
I, you know, I've been told to put my kid gloves on at work a few times and just like,
it's not my personality to be like soft scent, you know, like I'm, I joke that I'm a little
bit like an armadillo, right?
I've got this hard exterior, but I am really still soft and gooey on the inside.
But Janine's been really great.
They're my success coach and, uh, they've been really encouraging me to kind of be a
bit more vulnerable, put myself out there and, and, you know, be more engaged in the
development of my brand as in putting myself almost in like the face of my brand role,
which is terrifying to me.
Um, and I had a conversation with my dad and I didn't really realize that his opinion even
mattered at all to me at this point in our relationship, we've had a long toward best,
but he was like kind of just giving me a lot of, uh, negative feedback and being like,
well, of course these people are telling you, you know, that you can do this and, you know,
they're kind of boosting you up.
You're paying them to do that.
You know?
And it was like that comment of like, Oh my God, like, you don't think like, I believe
this is sincere.
I believe this is where I'm supposed to be.
And to have someone kind of go, well, you know, just be careful because, you know, and
I get that, I get the, that mentality.
And that's what I dealt with early on too, when I first joined Rainmaker was just like,
you know, people being skeptical and being like, are you sure this was a good idea?
And like, what's the proof rate and all, you know, all these different things.
So I think I'm just right now, like feeling, like I said, I'm feeling a little bit just,
I don't know what to do as far as like, do I put myself out there if I do and things,
you know, don't go well, obviously that's going to be a lot bigger hit than a product
not being successful because it's really personal.
And then learning how to like quiet all those other voices that are telling me like, you're
not good enough.
You can't do this.
So all those imposter syndrome kind of feelings coming back and being like, man, I thought
I, you know, worked through some of those issues, but obviously it's still pretty raw
if like one offhand comment can really throw me for a loop like that.
Okay.
Natalie, I'm going to come to you, but I just want to say this.
Can we just celebrate Lauren for her vulnerability right now?
Being on this call.
I'm almost choked up because I had Lauren in our first eight weeks and I just, wow.
You're going to make me cry.
Stop.
You cry.
No, I'm making myself cry because my little heart just can't handle you being vulnerable
right now.
It's so sweet, Lauren.
Like I can relate with you.
Like we're all like hard workers.
We show up, we're in leadership roles and a lot of our vulnerability can just be smashed
on and this is just not that place.
Okay.
We're gonna welcome you and we're gonna encourage you.
And I think what's happening is just like rejection.
You're being rejected by your dad.
Yeah.
And that's painful.
That's just-
That's not new.
But, all right.
But even though it's new or not,
getting used to rejection is still painful.
Like, and there's moments where maybe
some of the comments do affect you
and sometimes they roll off, right?
For all of you who've had comments,
who also like in their circle
has not had people support you
who are really close to you, right?
You had an expectation.
This is my dad.
This is my mom.
Maybe they'd support me.
Maybe they won't.
Or maybe like Lauren, you just said,
I know that they're like this,
but then you actually hear it.
And it's like, dang, dang, dang, that hurts.
So I just wanna first say you're not alone in that.
Okay, and it doesn't have to mean anything about you.
And what I just said to a coaching call last week,
I had a one-on-one session and I said,
I asked the question,
what are you making rejection mean about you?
What are you making rejection mean about you as a person?
Well, it's like validating those inner thoughts
that you're not good enough, right?
It's someone else validating the thoughts
that you are trying to say,
these aren't, this isn't truth, right?
Like you have these automatic negative thoughts
and you're like, no, that's not true.
I am good enough. I can do this.
But then it validates it when somebody else
that you care about or whatever,
the dad question care about, anyway, sorry.
It just, it's hard to then understand,
like maybe if I'm thinking this and they're saying this,
then it is true, you know, but it's just tough, yeah.
It is tough and it's validated.
This is the powering statement for you, for everybody.
It's validated to the degree you allow it to be validated.
It doesn't have to be validated at all, actually, right?
And the reality of building a business
and these moments are just gonna,
they're gonna come and they're gonna continue to come.
And so I'm gonna pass it off to Natalie
and then we've got Jenna.
They both have something for you, Lauren.
Thank you.
Yeah, so I think what I would,
like I also have parents that can just really say like,
well, a parent, I should say, one of them has passed,
but just really mean, careless things to me.
And they don't understand that what they are saying
is mean and careless.
And just a little bit of a history lesson, like, right?
Most of our parents, I was looking on the call,
most of us are, you know, somewhere in that over 40,
which means our parents' parents
were a part of the war, right?
And there was a mindset that was passed down
from that generation to our parents.
And we don't carry it at all
because we didn't live through that, right?
But they are very much like pull yourself up
by your bootstraps, just pushing harder.
Don't listen to anybody else.
You don't need anything from anybody else
because that's what they were instilled with.
But that's not healthy, right?
And we get to choose what we allow them to say to us.
And I have had to draw very firm boundaries with my mom
and say, hey, mom,
when I choose to share one of my dreams with you,
all I am asking you for is 100% validation.
And if you can't give me that,
you will not have the privilege of hearing
what is in my heart and what's closest to me.
And I only had to do it twice with her
and now she gets it, right?
I just want her to cheerleader.
She is my mom and I want her to cheer me on.
And I want her to be on my side.
And so just like, I would encourage you,
if you can draw that boundary with them, draw it.
If he can respect it, great.
If he can't, don't share those things with them.
It's like sharing a baby in the first week
that it's born, right?
Like you're gonna give cooties.
You're gonna give germs to that baby.
And is that baby ready for germs, right?
So just know when you can share your dreams
with those people who haven't stewarded your heart
in the past.
Yeah, that's actually, that's true.
I mean, as soon as you started talking about that,
a generational piece too, it's like,
I just, my Nana's words are running through my head,
you know, rise above it, just rise above it.
You're just gonna have to move on.
No, we don't think about our feelings.
We just move on.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
Okay.
Yeah, so I think that's important to share
with those people that are gonna support you
and maybe not share if you know
that they have nothing nice to say.
I have a couple of quick things for you, Lauren.
So, and I think you already know this.
I think it's just a matter of you digging in.
it more for yourself, but whenever somebody criticizes us, it only bothers us if deep down
you believe it's true. Otherwise it's like, okay, whatever, that doesn't make any sense because I
don't believe you. Like if I said, if I said, Lauren, I think you have a really stupid hat
right now. You'd say, okay, whatever. I like my hat. I don't care what you think. But if I say,
Lauren, I don't think you can do this business. If you deep down believe that, then you'll think,
oh, maybe I can't, it'll bother you, right? If I tell you some criticism of something that you
know for a fact is totally wrong, you'll say whatever your opinion's invalid because I know
you're wrong. So going back to those automatic negative thoughts and is it true? And what does,
what am I making this mean about me? I think digging into that more and figuring out what
you are believing that allows those comments to bother you is going to be what's most important.
And also what is your goal here? And what are you willing to risk to make it happen?
Because sometimes you just have to accept that we are willing to risk looking stupid.
We are willing to risk being qualified, being criticized. We're willing to risk making a
personal brand. Even if everybody who went to high school with things were a total idiot and
dumb. And who do you think you are? But we have to be willing to risk those things.
If we want to get to where we want to be and understanding to what degree you're willing to
risk will help you figure out what your next steps are and where, what you can do right now and where
you need to work so you can get to where you want to be. Yeah. Thank you, Janet. That's really
helpful for sure. Wow. Lauren, that was good. Wow. What a gold piece to end on. I felt like
that could be for everybody. Lauren, how are you feeling? Are you feeling supported?
Oh yeah. I mean, I'm definitely feeling supported. Like I said, this community has been
life-changing really in the time that I've been with Rainmaker. And I'm so glad to have been able
to come on this call and just kind of open up and hear that from everybody here. Because like I said,
it's hard. And you do feel like alone. It's like my husband wants to be supported, but he doesn't
get it. I'll go on and on about all these ideas and what I'm working on. And he's just like,
uh-huh, I don't get it. So it's just like, this is really the only place I have that support.
And so I just, I thank everyone here for that. And I look forward to reading the chat here and
seeing comments from everybody else, because without this piece, I think that this would
be nearly impossible to do. Yeah. Literally, yes. That's why it was built. That's why we do
need each other. Listen, you guys, this is creating new generations here. This business is going up
against limiting beliefs that have lain probably dormant in some of you for a while. And so that's
what this space is for, to bring those up, bring those out and work through them. So Lauren, I think
Jenna, what you ended us on of like, what's your goal here? What degree are you willing to risk?
And what are you believing in you to let that criticism affect you? Right. I mean,
you can't have success without criticism, right? So I need to like, just work on how I handle that
and understand like where those feelings are coming from and attack those root feelings,
opposed to this kind of superficial piece. Yes. And you are. And so you've got some great next
steps for you in that Lauren and everybody really, because the reality of it is, is we're going to be
rejected in this life. It is actually all over us all the time. It's just, sometimes we don't
even really realize it, but we get to decide what kind of relationship we want to have with
rejection and like how that is impacting us and what that's making us mean about us. And that's
where you get to be empowered to create your own beliefs, create your own thoughts, create your own
goals, create your own community. You all show up. That's what's making this community possible
because you are all here. So I'd like to end this call before we hop into the after party.
Um, it's just like, can we just look around at each other again? Can we just like make
some zoom eye contact here? You're not alone in this. Cynthia's here. Shannon's here. Jessica's
here. Sarah's here. Tara, Lauren, Jake, Melissa, iPhone 187, Christy, like Anna, you guys are all
here. Do not, you're not alone. And that's where steps like, like calls like this, we get to be
vulnerable. So maybe you guys saw somebody say something on this call and you want to touch
face with them in the Facebook group or on the app. Maybe you want.
Be like, hey, I felt the same way.
Like what works for you?
Hey, can I support you in any way?
Right?
This is a, we want this to be a platform
where you guys bounce off and go connect with one another.
Right?
And go be givers to one another.
So then you can also be givers
through your business and in the world.
Cause we're out here trying to change the world.
But first we've got to get on board
with our own beliefs, right?
With our own visions and our own goals
before we can go, you know, into the world in that way.
And every step you guys take to moving the needle,
you're doing it.
You're doing it.
You're literally changing generations.
You are changing lives and it starts with you.
So great job, everybody.
Just give yourselves like a round of applause today.
Like, I'm just like, I wish we could keep going.
I could go a whole nother hour doing this.
Okay.
This is like our success coach team.
Like, this is what we do.
This is what we do in one-on-one calls.
This is what we do in our day-to-day work here
in our own personal lives.
And so it's been such a gift being able
to share our superpowers with you guys.
So thank you all for showing up.
Thank you all for making this community what it is.
And I am officially going to end the Mindset Monday call.
And then I am going to hop into the after party.
And again, the after party is for those of you
who have questions or thoughts about
what does it look like to do coaching?
What does it look like to have a success coach
in your back pocket working with you
and for you in this journey?
Now, some of you already have a coach, okay?
You already have a success coach.
Either you're waiting on them
because you just got into our community
or you are in the first eight weeks
of you called the accelerator.
So this particular,
this time would be for those of you
who are not in those two scenarios,
but are like, I need a coach.
I need some support.
I need some one-on-one,
accountability to be in my back pocket.
So I just wanna say,
this call is such a fun call
because you all kind of get to see how we coach, right?
So coaching kind of looks like asking you questions
to help you see your own thoughts,
see your own brain, right?
It's empowering you to be a solutionary, right?
To find solutions, to find out
what's maybe a blind spot you have
that a coach could offer you,
something that you're not seeing.
And it's just been,
yeah, we've got like tons of ideas
and options right now for coaching.
So I just wanna kind of open up the floor.
Does anybody have any questions about coaching
or what would be a good next step for you?
If you do, you can go ahead and just unmute and ask,
or you can drop your question in the chat.
So I just wanna
offer the floor to questions.
Is there anything I can support anybody with
around coaching?
Yeah, Anne-Marie.
Okay, good.
Natalie's got you.
With kind of like, what are our options?
We just have a lot of coaching options right now.
So we like to just hop on a call to just ask
like what would be good for you?
Extension coaching is when you end up working
with a one-on-one coach for a certain amount of time.
That's what that is.
I'm gonna drop the after-party link as well right here.
So if you wanna grab the link for the after-party.
Good to see you all here.
Any questions?
Amanda, Heather, Cynthia, Jessica, Anna, Linda,
anything I can support you all in with coaching?
Oh, good, Teena, I'm glad it was your first time.
Welcome.
Yes, are the third or the fourth Monday of every month
we do this live one-on-one coaching
with our success coach, Teena.
team. So mark your calendar going forward. Hey, Jessica, how can I support you?
How are you hair and makeup these days
coming out these balls lately?
So great.
Hey. So yeah, I guess I'll just jump in. I have a bunch of these products that I'm running through
the product qualifier tool. And if I have several that are giving me quite good numbers that all
qualify, where do I then put my efforts into? Like the top three or just start going down the list or
whatever my intuition leads me to? Or like, what would you say a good plan of action would be once
I get through that list? Well, actually, my first question would be, do you have a coach right now?
I do Jenna. She's very. Oh, okay. Then that would be a good question for your coach.
Okay. I'll be meeting with her next week. So, okay. I mean, you, you have her.
Oh, and I can just email her like, Oh, wherever through the app. Yeah. Okay. Text.
Yeah. Think of her, like she, you have her accessible Monday through Friday, all business.
Yes, girl. Not just those sessions. Okay. I understand. Those are just touch points.
So here's something, this is a beauty of coaching and this is what happens when you do,
when you extend with coaching too, if you don't have a coach yet,
you have a call every two weeks and then in between you can, it's like you have them in
text. It's basically like they're in your back pocket. You can. So I say, you just reach out to
her with, you know, those types of questions. Cause she's the one who wants to build that
relationship with you to see like, yeah, like what's your case and what's your budget. And
she's going to just have more information to like support you very personally.
Okay. Great question. Yeah. So girl, take advantage of your coach.
Yeah. She's great. I just met with her yesterday and every time I see her, she's like,
okay, let's see what this is. What's happening now. Let's go forward. And here's your next
assignment. She's yeah. Really good. Yes. That's exactly what our team is here
to do to help you move the needle, stay accountable,
you know, stick to what you said you're going to do and just keep, keep the ball moving. So
cool. Thank you, Jessica. You're welcome. All right. Any other questions?
I just dropped you the link on Kendall.
Hey, Sheree.
Oh, for the after party. Yeah. There is no attendance link for the after party. I just have
the, the fun little March gladness that we're doing this week. So I'll drop that one more time
here. And then we'll, we're going to do something different after this. So, okay. Hey, Linda.
If you don't have a coach and are working toward being in a position to pay for a coach,
what do you do in the meantime? Kind of depends on where you're at in your journey,
but I don't know if Janine or Natalie want to hop in here real quick, but I would say
continuing in the app, continuing in your courses, continuing following your roadmap. Yeah, Janine.
I would even say jump on a call with a coach so that you know what you're working towards,
so that you know what the goal is, because sometimes we, we actually, not sometimes,
we tailor make it according to what you need. So maybe there's something that would make sense for
you now that would actually help move you into the space that you're wanting to go. So I would
just jump on a call and see what is possible so that you also know what the goal is.
You're on mute, Danielle.
I always laugh when I do that. Linda, I am going to, Linda, have you been able to
sign up for that call? If not, I am about to drop that, the call for you real quick,
so let me get you that link, and it's super simple. You're just going to basically
type in what you're looking for, where you're at, just to give us some background information
before we chat with you. I think that would be a good next step for you, Linda.
Just like get on a call.
How's that sound?
I just dropped the link for you.
What's your last name, Linda?
Could you type it in the chat for me, please?
All right, bye, Janine.
Linda, what's your last name?
Okay, got you.
I got you, okay.
Cool.
All right, any other questions?
Anything I can support you all with?
Okay, Cherie.
You're gonna connect with somebody, right?
All right, I think Natalie.
I think I'm gonna have you all get connected.
Okay, cool, all right.
I think I signed a Zoom call with Natalie.
Perfect, I love that.
I'm excited for you guys.
All right, that's cool.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
Yeah, I really just wanna say,
Cherie, you remind me a lot of myself
when I first started business.
Just the deep-seated beliefs I had,
just I thought so little of myself.
Yeah.
I'm not saying that's where you're at,
but just like my little bit of like coming so far
to be able to be where I'm even at now,
to be able to coach other people,
it did take a mentor to get me here
that I spent thousands of dollars on,
but now I'm creating things and doing things
that five years ago, Danielle,
would have literally not even believed.
Yeah.
Actually, only four years ago,
I was working as a full-time teacher, not even,
I was like, I will never go into business.
That's not for me.
I don't take risks.
That's for the crazy people.
That's what I was raised in, honestly.
No fault to my parents,
but I was taught to not really take risks.
And it bit me in the butt for quite a few years.
And I still struggle with it,
but I know now better how to like look at my beliefs
and look at my thoughts and be like, wait a minute.
Like I had to.
There's so many things to unpack
because I think at the very beginning,
I unpacked and I unpacked and I unpacked,
but then to kind of get in the marathon
of continually unpacking so that you like,
cause I have started so many things
and I like thought, okay, maybe I'll try this.
Maybe I'll try this.
But there's so many things to like fully get into
so that I can finish something that like,
that is what takes the marathon of a journey
and not just a quick, like, I don't know.
I unpacked so much already in the first eight weeks
of my coaching accelerator, which I loved every minute of.
And I really like slowly unpack things, but you're right.
I'm at the point of like,
but there's so many deeper things that have to be unpacked
so that the next part of the journey isn't this fog.
It's like this, you know, excitement, if that makes sense.
So I look forward to speaking with Natalie.
Yeah. And just throwing this out there, you know,
if you do decide to connect with a coach
and get into coaching, you also could have access
to second eye sessions with other coaches.
Okay. So tell me more about that.
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, it's not necessarily like as many
as you want, whenever you want kind of thing.
But like, you know, if you end up working with Natalie
and Natalie's like, hey, I think you should get a session
with Danielle around your brain.
Okay. For example,
that's something that we could work out
that would be a part of the coaching.
As a part of the package, you mean?
Okay. Okay.
That's encouraging too.
Yeah. There's so many pieces to like, you know,
stem from. So, okay.
Love to just work with you, you know,
one-off session or something to kind of build off
of what we talked about here,
because that's like just what I'm really good at.
So, and I- Thank you.
I'm so excited for you doing all this also
like about to give birth, right?
Yeah. So, in the process of my Rainmaker journey,
I became pregnant and right around the time,
I think I'll be launching, the baby is due.
So, it's just something I didn't expect.
But for me personally, it was like God saying,
hey, you can't do this by yourself.
So, I'm just going to add a baby
in the mixture of your journey
so that you can put all your trust on me.
But also I'm like, but give me strategy
so I can actually do this.
Yeah. It's true, it's true.
And you know, when are you due?
If you don't mind me asking.
June 8th is when I'm due.
And it gets a little complicated.
My husband is in need of a new kidney.
So, he's on.
dialysis three times a week.
And we thought he'd received a kidney by now,
but he still is on the list and we're still waiting.
So I might have to schedule an induction
just so I'm not in labor while he's at dialysis.
So in the middle of all of this, we're...
So yeah, that would, so in May,
most likely at the end of May.
So what could be awesome is getting a coach
to support you leading up to that,
and then through that kind of depends.
This is where you would chat with Natalie
and be like, even more specifics like dates
and like your goals and like,
what could you have launched while you're giving birth?
And then like, what is it gonna look like post birth?
And this is your sixth kid, so you're like a pro, right?
Yeah, I think so.
And I'm pretty sure about that.
I'm saying, girl, this is the best time to have a business
when you're on your sixth kid.
Yeah, they're all like, oh yeah,
mommy and rainmaker, it's just what they call it.
So everyone's on board with my products and everything,
but you're right, I think that is exactly
what I'll talk to Natalie about
because I have to have some goals in place
so that I can know like, hey, I need to do this,
hey, I'm gonna make this mark before this, whatever.
Like it's a nesting almost, yeah.
When they hit them and like get you some momentum
that builds off of itself instead of staggered momentum.
Random moments, yeah.
Right, that's what, that's the difference in my opinion
between a coach and not having a coach for some people.
Yeah.
And the timing is really when you decide it.
And I think that your timing,
this is a great timing, honestly, so.
Thank you, yeah.
It'll be great for your, for a new kidney,
for your husband to come ASAP.
I appreciate that, thank you so much, thanks.
Send the kidney, Lord, send the kidney.
Thank you.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing that, sweet.
Okay, any other thoughts or questions?
Okay, I hope y'all are encouraged,
I'm encouraged, dang girl.
I'm like, if Sheree can have six kids, I can do anything.
I have yet to have kids in my life.
I've nannied and like, I know it's not the same,
but like people have been trusting me with their kids
like for weeks on end,
and I'm about to foster kids actually.
So I'm gonna be a little single foster mom over here.
So I just have so, you know, you can do this,
you can do this.
I feel like a lot of skills that it takes to parent
is what it takes to build a business,
you know, time scheduling and self-control and discipline
and showing up as a person of patience instead of anger,
you know, or, you know, Heather's like nodding her head,
like, y'all, yeah, so.
I didn't see it like that, you're right, you're right.
There's a lot of skills, but I really,
I have a sister-in-law who fosters,
and I really will say like that in itself
is brave and courageous.
And so I just reward you for that.
That's a, it's another realm.
So.
I completely agree.
I am 100% stepping into courage and the internet
and doing crazy things.
So, yup.
Good job, good job.
Thank you, thank you.
That's what I feel called to, you know?
And so I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna build businesses on the side,
be here, like, why not try everything?
You know, God, because you know what?
Here's the last thing I'll say,
because I'll go preaching for another hour here.
Well, like stepping into something
I'm not able to do on my own
does give God so much more glory
and not just glory, but power.
Yeah.
I cannot do these things on my own.
I'm telling you all,
I did not set out to be a single foster mom.
I told God, I will do this when I'm married.
I will do this when, da-da-da-da-da,
when I have two incomes,
when I have two things to support,
as in that's gonna be my strength
and my support and my God.
So there was, I was making an idol
and I let that idol go and I said, Lord,
okay, here I am.
Okay, you're asking me to do this.
Well, I just bawled my eyes out yesterday
because my heart yearns for the orphan.
It yearns for the kid who believes that they are scum,
that they have no hope.
Like I can infuse light and hope into them.
I can feed them.
I can give them a safe home
and that's what they most need.
And you know what?
With God, I can do that.
So instead of partnering with,
oh my.
Gosh, who's crazy enough to do this single?
Like I was literally self-sabotaging for years
until I decided, no,
I'm not gonna partner with that thinking
that doesn't serve me or anyone else around me.
And even talking about it gives me more courage.
Even just us showing up on these calls,
talking about it, saying out loud,
I don't think I can do this, but with God, I can.
So I'm gonna take this step.
I don't even know what it costs, what it's gonna cost,
but I'm not even quite sure I have enough money yet
for this kind of thing, you know?
But you know what?
It's giving me fuel to make more money,
to be more creative, to step up in my businesses,
to step up as, you know, what's God called me to,
so that it can fuel and work together, you know?
Instead of these like, oh, I've got to do this over here
and I've got to do that over there.
Like, no, they can work together.
Um, oh man, praise God.
Maricela, Maricela, did I say that right?
You're welcome.
Thank you, Lord, that was for you.
Yeah, like I am in, I am in this whole sphere
because I grew up being extremely insecure
and always looking good on the outside,
but feeling like death on the inside.
Like any, any little insecurity that came my way broke me.
And then I like did the craziest things
to try to get my worth back,
sin, dysfunctional behavior, whatever you want to call it,
and then realized it never worked.
God is the one who gives me my value.
God is the one who can give me all that I need.
And if I partner with him
and then get in a community like this,
get around other people who are also believing,
well, then what's, we're unstoppable.
Really, we're literally unstoppable.
We can, we can literally, you guys,
you can all go out and create whatever you want.
Let's not, let's not even talk about tomorrow
because we're actually not promised tomorrow.
Let's talk about today.
Okay, I'm going to end the call on this.
What is something you all can do today
that is one step into courage?
One step, like, you know what?
I'm scared to do that, but I'm going to do it anyways.
Maybe it's something in your business.
Maybe it's something personal.
Maybe it's something with your spouse.
Maybe it's something with your children.
Maybe it's something with your calendar.
I know what I'm going to do.
I'm going to touch base with the foster agency
who's been trying to get ahold of me,
and I'm going to have a connection point with them today.
That's what I'm going to do.
Okay, Anna's going to finish editing her children's book.
Love it.
If you want to pop in the chat
what your next step of courage is today, feel free.
Hi, I have a coach, but I'm kind of like listening in
and learning from all of you,
and it's just been a pleasure.
Every day I have been going on one of those,
I guess, the courses right now.
I'm starting to do phase two on the course,
and I do have Natalie as my coach.
I'm an author, writer, and speaker,
but I really feel called that God wants me
to move to the next level.
So I always pray before, like at the end of the year,
Lord, what is the word that you have for me?
And this year was new birth.
And so not knowing, not really connecting with you guys yet,
not committing to you guys yet.
I did know about Rainmakers through another platform
and a group that I'm in.
And so that was my introduction with that.
So that's, I felt at ease knowing that, okay,
these guys do support them.
So it was more like, okay, let's see what they have.
And so I've just been learning so, so much.
But yeah, I'm super happy where I'm at,
and I'm in the process of editing my manuscript
of my children's book, and it's my second book.
I wrote my first book.
So the more that you walk on water,
and that was like two years ago,
my word was walk on water,
was writing my book and becoming a number one bestseller.
And it was like not,
those limiting beliefs were back there,
but groups, the groups that we're in
and who we listen to has so much to do.
on our as far as our success and so I'm just you know huddling with you folks
and really looking forward I am getting my my product I think it's like this
week that they're gonna there's two choices that they have for me so and I'm
with them special needs community because I do have a daughter with
special needs she's 28 now but I'm very it's it's been how God has just really
given me favor with this community with special needs I live in Kauai and and so
I do proms for these kids I call them kids because they're a kid at heart but
I do you know it's just like it's God has been using me as pioneer as being in
a pioneer so if I can be a pioneer in this community as I'm learning and
growing and then taking it with me and you know moving it forward with them
then you know it's awesome because I know that God has built me for this so
anyway just wanted to share that so encouraging and you know get that second
book going like we've already done the first that's incredible and even at
church yesterday we were talking about how wherever we're called and our fears
is where we have influence yeah right and what better to have influence for
the kingdom and and and not doing it perfectly obviously just doing it the
best that we can and moving forward and I'm even at your like season and stage
of life Anna too it's so powerful you could have said like oh my gosh I
should have done this earlier or why didn't I do it that no this is your time
and you're sticking with it yeah yeah and I'm a single mom I was married for
23 years and I had we had a restaurant for like 18 years before that and that
was another you know stepping stone of of going by faith you know so it's like
from from glory to glory moving from glory okay Lord what is next
amen amen just um do you speak Spanish by any chance just by saying mucho yo
tambien
yes I know Puerto Rico okay she's from Puerto Rico hey yeah yeah that's cool I
always ask depending on the name so I hope that didn't offend you no okay
cool and then yeah my Marisela yes I saw that you are gonna connect with
Natalie that's I love it I love it you said I didn't feel ready I felt
inadequate but I'm gonna commit to it I'm actually gonna send Natalie a little
message and say hey Marisela said she's gonna connect with you okay so we've got
double you've got double accountability there all right so um yeah I'm excited
for you Marisela it's gonna be a good a call for you I think you're gonna leave
more encouraged than you would like have expected so you're welcome
did was that a question whenever wherever we are called is where we are
afraid but where we have influence I think was oh that was a question I
don't I actually can you rephrase it in another way are you saying what if we're
scared of where we're called to and where we're called to influence is that
your question oh gotcha okay
yes where we are called we have influence yes yes I did say that okay
you're welcome yeah because it's the endable Stephen says it's a lot too he
says like where if you were given a microphone like with no script no no you
know anything ahead of time and you just could talk passionately for 20
minutes what would that be and that can sometimes be an indication of where
you're called where you're passionate about and it's in that very space that
we want to use influence to to create income and to create you know change
change in the in the in the place that you're called so yay all right team
