Day five, welcome to the final day of the rain games, the day where we put it all on the line,
actually not really, but it's going to be fun. I promise there's a lot of points that are
available today. You made it this far. That's incredible. Most people don't do this. Most
people do not make it this far. You are in the top percentage of people, the go-getters that
are going to the end, the distance, running the race, staying consistent. After work,
you're working a hard day and you're dreaming about doing something else. And at night,
you are catching this replay. You are especially the go-getters. That's hard. I want to bring you
guys behind the scenes before we go officially into day five. You guys know the drill. Hey,
if you have any questions, rainmakerfamilysupport.com is a great place to get those
answered, of course. But if you have a question about anything we've talked about so far when it
comes to like how we can support you, the mastermind, I don't have access to something.
Rainmakerfamilysupport.com is great. Okay. It's really, really great. So make sure that you
submit a ticket there if you have any questions. If you're feeling it on day five, it's true.
We sprint this week. We sprint this week. And don't worry, you join the mastermind. We're
going to let you get into rest. We're going to find something that works for you, for your
schedule. But this is a sprint. Let's get you into momentum, right? Because objects in motion
stay in motion. And that's our goal. Let's get you in motion this week, and let's keep you in motion
for years to come. And so with that, I want to welcome you guys to day five. Day five. Okay,
so I'm going to share my screen. Say screen in the chat when you can see it, and we will get going.
We will get going. This is going to be a fun one, you guys. I literally was up till midnight last
night working on this one for you. I was like, how can I make this the absolute best hour
of your life? So here we go. Let's go. Our disclaimer here, this quarter, we actually
had 67 product launches. Last quarter, we had 83 product launches. This quarter, we had 28
individuals hit a hundred dollars in sales. Last quarter, we had 83 individuals hit a hundred
dollars in sales. I'll give you both quarters, okay? This quarter, we had 14 hit a thousand.
Last quarter, we had 24 hit a thousand. This quarter, we had eight hit a hundred thousand
dollars. This quarter, we had one hit a million dollars in her business. We know this because
we have awards that we give away. We actually pay for these awards to give you milestones to
shoot for, to say like, I'm going to envision that thing on my wall, right? I have an award,
I think. Let me see. Can you guys see me? You guys can see me? I have an award right back here,
okay? You guys can see that is the, that's a seven figure family award, okay? Do you see that on your
wall? Look at your wall right now. Can you see that thing? You could be one of these stats,
but we love this because one, we pay for these and it gives people a lot of motivation to send
them these little gifts. But two, it helps us track our success and see like, where are people
at with this thing? So I just want to share this transparently with you. All these students
utilize what they're taught in our mastermind program and we don't track success outside of
our masterminds. If you decide to go on this on your own, you can't get an award. You can still
hit amazing milestones, but oftentimes we see without the accountability of the support,
the one-on-one coaching, it can be really hard to keep going, okay? So just note that these results,
when I share these, they're not guaranteed. Any results I share during this presentation,
it's not guaranteed. Like it's not just like, okay, take a pill and you get this result,
right? All business success requires dedicated effort. It requires focus. It requires
overcoming obstacles, which is what we're talking about today. Every entrepreneur venture success
does vary between individuals. It's based on many factors, many of which are outside of control.
What we control is how we respond to those factors, right? And we're so proud of people
that have reached these milestones. But when we share these results, it's important to understand
that these are exceptional cases of what is possible and not a guarantee or promise of
exactly what you'll experience. All business requires risk. And by participating in the game
of entrepreneurship, you accept all associated risks. So someone in the chat say, I volunteer
as tribute, okay? I volunteer as tribute. This is not for everyone. Otherwise everyone would be
having time freedom, financial freedom, doing the things that are really in their heart
because they created a business that was producing stable income for their family.
And this was easy, you know, but it ain't, but it can be easier for you. And that's what we give
you in the Rainmaker Mastermind program. You see, knowledge is not power, right? You might hear
people say this, like knowledge is power, right? But I would disagree that knowledge is not power,
right? Imagine you were in high school and you're bright eyed, bushy tailed, and you're ready to
learn. You show up on your first day of class and the teacher comes in, she drops a book on your
desk and says, read this. I'll be back at the end of the semester for your finals, right? You go to
your next class and the same thing happens. Book drops on your desk. I'll be back later. Be ready
for your finals. And this happens literally all day long. If that were the case, I don't think
any of you would be here right now because you would literally still be struggling to graduate
because information is powerful, but on its own, it's often not enough. You need more than
information. You need tools. You need community. You need accountability. You need coaching. You
need the Rainmaker family.
alongside of you for the next handful of years if you're going to really build this time freedom
based business. And it's execution that's powerful, not knowledge. It's the doing,
it's the doing. But even more than that, it's more powerful than execution is actually effective
execution, right? Because how many of you know that you can do a lot of work, you can do a lot
of busy work only for it to produce no results? And you saw in this challenge, we kind of gave
you some execution, but we gave you the optimize that the like, don't do this on social media,
do this, right? Don't do this with logo creation, do this, right? Where this is our strategy,
like, let's give you more leverage. And so I want to help you today make the right actions,
right? So you can see those results. And today, we're going to focus our day on getting into
effective execution mode. Someone say let's go in the chat. The problem is this is where most
people get stuck, right? They love to learn but because of bad habits, they fall out of momentum
and it's hard to get back, right? When you fall out of momentum, it's hard to get back into motion
towards their goals. You guys have even heard some this week, some people like I did this in 2020,
but I just kind of fell out of momentum. And now they're back, they're getting into motion. So if
I'm telling you, like you're feeling in motion, stay in motion, the best thing you do right now
is literally don't stop. These trainings are going to stop but your momentum doesn't have to stop.
And so today, as we focus on building your roadmap to family freedom, the big obstacles
that can come in the way of your family freedom, they can be for you or they can be against you.
When problems come up, right? And they come up in your life, how do you respond,
right? I'd said that in the disclaimer, there's a lot of things that can happen that are outside
of your control. But what you can control is actually how you respond. Do you say this is
happening to me? Or do you say this is happening for me? This is a subtle difference, but it's
the difference between victors and victims. And often we tie into business, especially when
presented with opportunities that may stretch you outside of your comfort zone, that these
seemingly huge obstacles tend to try to stand in the way. And this is such a powerful mindset,
we actually want to get this in our kids. So we wrote a children's book, it's called The Rainmaker,
how to win when life gives you rain. And we read this to our boys, like at least once a week,
because we want them to grow up knowing there's no problems without hopeful possibilities attached.
We want them when problems come up in their life, which they will, when struggles come up in their
life, when big obstacles or giants that want to hold them back from that calling that they're
feeling like they need to step into, that they know there's no problems without possibilities
attached. It's the story of Kai and Ollie, which is our sons. And you know, they want to start this
lemonade stand and they look outside and it's raining, right? And they're sad and they're like,
they're starting to focus on the lack. But then they start focusing on the abundance, they shift
their mindset and they start saying, what do we have? And they go around the house and they find
these materials and they start collecting the rain. They make this rainmaker and they collect
rain and they do all these things and they end up watering the garden. And it actually ends up
impacting the entire neighborhood. This little shift from like, I can't, I'm going to focus on
lack and things are gonna be taken away too. What do I have? This isn't a problem, this is a
possibility. And it actually changes their entire day. It changes their entire outlook and it changes
their entire neighborhood. And our goal of today's session is to help you break free of any obstacle
that feels like it's holding you back from your next step, whether that's joining the mastermind
or funding that next round of inventory or launching that next product. I know we have
rainmakers in all stages watching this training right now. So whatever that next breakthrough
step for you is, there's likely some resistance, right? There always is, especially if it's going
to be a big breakthrough, maybe a breakthrough that's not just for you, maybe a breakthrough
that's for your kids, for your kids' kids. Those are the ones that I feel like there's always
resistance on. So I don't want to just break you free this week, I want to actually teach you to
use that obstacle. Marcus Aurelius, you know, he was this, I want to consider one of the greatest
philosopher kings of Rome, right? He said, the obstacle is the way. What stands in the way
becomes the way. This is a deep statement, what stands in the way can become the way.
We specialize, what we specialize in and what we're going to help you do is literally turn any
wall that's holding you back into a ramp, right? This could be a wall, it could be a ramp.
We can knock this thing over, we don't have to break right through it, but we could knock it
over and level it up to our next level of transformation to be on that wall. But in the
wall, instead of letting it hurt us as we break through and try to dig under it, we're gonna let
it—we're gonna make it into a ramp, right? We're gonna go up. So the next time a wall comes that's
this size, we are higher than it. We have authority over it. We've seen it before and we just fly right
over it. And that doesn't mean there's not gonna be bigger walls, but once you learn the skill set,
you could turn them into ramps. And yesterday when we opened up applications at joinrainmakers.com
to keep your momentum going at a higher level of support, like some of you were all in, right? No
hesitation. You knew it was for you, you're in, you got your application in, you did the fast track
and you know, congratulations. I just want to say that first of all.
And for you, this message is for you today, because there are and
will be obstacles in your pathway.
Giants that want to scare you away from the promised land on
this journey of entrepreneurship.
You we've looked at your applications.
We accepted those.
You might've gotten emails this morning.
You might be getting one during this training.
You might be getting one later today saying you're in, congratulations.
And so for you guys who made that powerful decision, or you guys who are
going to make that decision today for others, like you might be feeling stuck.
You might be feeling like, I want this.
I want this.
But I just, I don't know how to make it work.
You're feeling that first wall of resistance.
And if that's you, I want to encourage you to.
That's actually a great thing too.
Okay.
I'm going to reframe it for you.
It actually shows you that you're stretching yourself.
You wouldn't be feeling that if you weren't actually stepping
out of your comfort zone.
And we actually had Dr.
Shannon Irvine.
She's a PhD neuropsychologist, right?
That works with seven figure entrepreneurs on their
mindset and top athletes.
She talked about this phenomenon that actually makes a lot of sense when you
understand the brain science behind it.
And so what I'm going to play for you is a four minute clip from Shannon
talking about what's actually going on in a lot of your brains right now.
If you're feeling stuck, you're feeling overwhelmed.
You're not sure how to move forward to this next step.
This clip can break you free.
We've had testimonials mentioned this clip years later saying this one
cliff gave me the clues of how I could rewire my brain and start
stepping into transformation.
And if you don't feel this right now, you will at some point in
entrepreneurship, right?
Especially if you're growing fast, you're going to hit resistance.
So listen in here's Dr.
Shannon.
If we're saying I'm stuck, I'm discouraged, I'm overwhelmed, then it's a clue.
And I always like to give a visual for this.
It's like, here's the destination you're heading toward.
Like this is the six-figure business, the seven-figure business.
This is financial freedom.
This is, I can spend my time with my kids whenever I want to and build my
business whenever I want to, and it's my choice.
So that's where a lot of your listeners and a lot of my people are headed, right?
They want it, they've dreamed about it, they've planned it, here's the goal,
the vision, the thing that they have not accomplished yet, right?
And here's kind of the patterns that we were just talking about, right?
And somewhere along the line, the world's sold entrepreneurs this idea that if it's
like really where you're supposed to be, it should feel good, it should feel
amazing, you should never hit any speed bumps and it should feel incredible.
I'm telling you that is so opposite of how your brain allows
like anything to be accomplished.
It's like literally the opposite.
So if like, here's where you want to go and here's where you are now, like this
is based on patterns of the past, this is your results at the moment.
So if you imagine like a rubber band stretched between those, like if I let
that go, it's going to go flying.
Why?
Because there's so much tension, right?
There's tension in your brain between where you are, which is just a reflection
of the past and where you're going, which is a reflection of what you want to
create the future to be and what your brain is working on because you're not
training it to allow success as it's working to bring your goal back down.
Literally.
And so overwhelmed, discouragement, those pieces, they're actually neurochemicals
that your brain are serving you to actually make you play smaller so that
again, that it aligns with where you were.
And I know that's not what your listeners want.
So if that's not what you want, you really have that vision for the future,
then understanding resistance is part of that.
Like this is resistance, right?
If I let go of that rubber band, it's going to hit somebody in the eyeball,
right?
There's the tension.
So understanding like in the move toward becoming that next version of yourself,
the thing that got you here is not the thinking that's going to take you to six
figures and the six figure thinking isn't going to take you to seven.
There's a shift that has to happen in your brain.
So knowing that like tension, uncomfortableness, resistance is the
word we like to use in our community, is a part of the growth pattern.
And it's actually almost the like green flag that says keep going because you're
actually telling your brain, no, no, no, this is safe and familiar.
This is where we're going.
I'm not going to become just a pattern of the past.
We're creating the future.
And so knowing that there's resistance and recognize when your brain is serving
you up the thoughts, the number one, I hear is overwhelmed, which was then
usually followed by I'm tired, especially us mamas.
And then it's like, it shouldn't be this hard, right?
There's this kind of pattern and it's just bringing you back down.
And you notice when you think that thought immediately, you feel better.
That's ironic, isn't it, Chelsea?
Because it's like, I just.
said, I am discouraged.
And by that example, I actually feel better.
Yeah, because you just literally took and collapsed your brain.
You said, it's OK, we can come back down to playing small in a way.
So going after those things, it's it's it's a matter of
we have a thing in our community called DIA, decide in advance.
So like just like if you have kids, this is great
because of all the mamas in here in the room and the dads. Right.
So you didn't just like have the baby and go, OK,
you're good. Like, just figure it out.
Like, no, you like trained every little moment.
This is how you eat. This is how you do this.
So it's the same thing.
We've got to decide in advance if you're really committed to going to this place.
If you really want to create a legacy move, if you want to shift
generational patterns for yourself, for your family, for what's possible,
then it's making some decisions like, OK, when I get overwhelmed,
if when I get discouraged, what am I going to do with that?
Like deciding it in advance gives gives you keeps the control
and the power in your prefrontal cortex
or your thinking mind to make the decision to keep going.
But if we wait for the feelings to actually inform that,
it will take us out of the game.
Powerful clip. Powerful clip.
Resistance is a green flag.
The obstacle is the way.
And so as we round the corner in the rain games on day five,
I want to lay out what it could look like to build this time
freedom based business that generates consistent leverage
and income for your family in the next season.
And I want to lay out some of the most common obstacles
that we see that might be trying to get in your way,
but actually might within themselves be the way
what stands in the way becomes the way.
You know, we talked about on day three that often you have to risk something,
be willing to risk it to gain it.
And how many of you know that like in laws of nature and physics,
it's very similar.
You typically have to go down before you want to go up, right?
For you to jump, you got to push down on the ground to fly in the air
for a tree to grow big and strong.
First, it has to go deep into the dark,
the abyss, the resistance so it can grow big and strong.
I found this clip from Myron Golden.
You know, if you've ever listened to Myron, you hear a lot of Myron and me
because I've listened to Myron a lot and he gives this analogy of seeds.
And I was like, whoa, this is so powerful.
It's a minute long. I want to play this for you.
This is it.
The nature of the root system is that it is gravitropic.
It means that it grows towards gravity and away from light.
It's the root system.
Everything above the ground is phototropic.
Phototropic means it grows towards light and away from gravity.
It's the gravitropic nature of the tree
that makes the phototropic nature of the tree possible.
And when you're looking at other people's trees that have more fruit
and a longer shoot and you're thinking, I want to be like them.
I want to have what they have.
Yeah, you want to have what they have without becoming who they become.
See, because this part down here, this part, this is the B part of life.
The shoot system is to do.
Guess what? The food system is to have.
Everybody wants that part, but people resist this.
And when you resist this, all of this resists you.
That is so true.
It is so, so true in life.
OK, let me share the screen so you guys can see it.
We see this and, you know, you go to the gym, right?
You go to the gym.
What do you have to do to build muscle?
You literally have to hit resistance.
You have to go to point of failure.
You have to like literally push the body if you want to grow muscles.
Right. If you, you know, a bird wants to fly, it first has to fall.
It first has to jump off a cliff and risk its life before it can experience freedom.
This is literally just a law of nature and money follows the same laws.
So in the first step of this roadmap, like you're wanting to build a business
that brings you money, right?
You have to be willing to let money go.
You have to be willing to treat money like a seed.
And the amount of money you start with, the amount of money that you can be
resourceful to access often determines your growth.
Let's say you're trying to grow a thousand tree orchard.
If you're starting with one seed and someone else is starting with one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven seeds.
OK, how fast does this person get to the thousand tree orchard versus this person?
This person plants one tree and it produces one tree.
And, you know, four or five years later, there's all these apples on the tree.
It's a healthy tree.
Now you take all those apples, you take all the seeds within those apples.
And within, you know, 10 years, you have 140 trees.
Now you're going to have to go through two to three more cycles to hit this
thousand tree orchard, this goal that you have.
But if you started with just a little bit more seed.
That produces one, two, three, four, five, six, seven trees.
You take all those apples, all.
those seeds and those trees.
And now you're at a thousand trees a little bit faster.
Okay.
Now this isn't a comparison thing.
I'm just saying like, this is how money works when us, when we learn
this, like for us to truly grow wealth, we had to stop making money.
Like such a big thing in our life.
Like we just give it too much power, like money, money, money, money.
Right?
Like, it's just like, it, it's just seed.
It's just seed.
It's a tool.
We start to make the shift.
It's a powerful tool.
And when you learn to really master this tool, how to plant that seed in the right
ground, you can actually multiply it for years to come.
And so let's start with this wall.
Okay.
We're going to hit six walls today, six walls, but this is probably the biggest
one because literally the obstacle is the way.
And so if you're looking for the way to make money, this is probably
the obstacle for most of you.
Okay.
There might be other walls in there, but like, this is probably the one.
So I'm gonna spend the most time.
I think on this one, I'm going to really help you with this one.
My goal is to break down this one.
By the end of this day, you're going to be able to turn this
wall into a ramp to level up.
So let's just set our targets on something like this.
This is a number, the investment amount that it takes to get into our program.
That's going to help you learn to do more things like this, to
make more money in your life.
Okay.
So whether it's $6,800, you really want to be in the mastermind.
You're going to join Ramakers.com.
You're trying to figure it out, or it's that next round of inventory
investment, or maybe it's like, you know, business is scaling and
now you want to, you know, hire someone like, what is that financial wall?
Maybe this is for you.
And for some of you like $6,800, like this is an easy number and
it's terrifying for others.
And I get it, right?
This is not cheap because good things are never cheap and cheap.
Things are never good.
But when deciding how we wanted to serve moms, right.
Through our program, we had these two choices.
Like we could create the solution that catered to as many people
in the market as possible.
And you're familiar with this approach because that's what everyone does.
And we, you know, they figure out how to give you the bare minimum.
You need to succeed and attempt to try to control costs and make the
investment as easy as possible on your part.
And the second option is we could not start with actually the price in
mind, but focus on the value.
And that's what we did.
We thought about everything we could do to put you at an advantage in this
game of entrepreneurship to err on the side of giving you so much value
that it almost be impossible for anything other than positive
results to show up in your life.
And what would that look like?
So we started thinking about how much value could pack in here.
And what you're seeing is what we built with the Rainmaker Mastermind.
It's not for everyone.
I get that.
And that makes some people mad.
It makes others sad.
However, you can see why we chose this route.
Because when we start with the question of what would it take for to succeed,
what would it take to succeed and have devoted all of our resources
we have to answer that question.
Then we figured out like, basically, how can we get it to people at
the most economical price possible?
And that's where this price came from.
So this offer, it's not for, you know, hobbyists or person who has a
slight desire to create an online business.
This is for the serious individual who won't let a price tag
get in the way of freedom.
Freedom from being stuck and freedom from being in the system.
This means it costs a lot, but in return, we can give you
a lot more for this investment.
We can serve you a lot more.
And I think that's more important.
And once you get into our world, you're going to see the difference
for yourself of how this time will be different for your family.
To start seeing transformation and momentum towards your goals.
And I'd argue this number, it doesn't have to be that scary.
So let's just use this number as our money wall example.
And I want to show you a trick that I use in my life.
Okay.
And this is how I figured out how to afford anything.
Okay.
Would you guys be okay in the chat if I show you how to afford anything?
It's kind of fun.
Would that be cool with you?
Okay.
We actually did a podcast on this way back in the day, and I'm gonna give
you like the short version of this podcast, but it's a powerful concept.
I think it's gonna help break you guys free.
It's gonna help break you guys free.
Here's two very expensive things that I've invested in my lifetime.
Okay.
Remember I came from the wedding world that we are wedding
photographers and videographers.
I did more of the video side of things, but I was dreaming of like me.
It'd be cool to shoot like commercials and cool to shoot like, you know,
narratives and things like that.
And so I just had my eyes on this camera.
This is a red camera, a red camera, any tech, techno babble people
in the chat, like you guys are like, Ooh, the red camera, this
thing costs more than a car.
And this is the price for a used camera, used red camera.
But I mean, this is, this is what they shoot like cinematic Hollywood movies on.
And I was like, man, this would be so epic.
Right.
Now the second expensive thing, I'm just giving you a couple of examples.
What's this fancy bassinet.
This is called the SNU.
It's the fanciest baby bassinet that basically raises your child for
you for the first six months.
Okay.
And I'll tell you about this bassinet, but it's just, it's special.
You know, your baby starts crying.
It starts like rocking the baby back to sleep.
And I believe we've got a used one.
These things go for like $1,600, but we got to use one for a thousand dollars.
Now, both of these things that we invested in, we did this in seasons
when there was not a lot of money.
Okay.
There was not a lot of money and I'll tell you how we afford anything.
Okay.
This is the mindset.
I'm teaching you a mindset trick.
I'm teaching you something that you can use in your life to
actually afford anything in.
bit and give money, like just take the power away from money a little bit.
Cause sometimes these things are scary.
So here's a five-step process to afford anything.
Number one, you got to know the cost, but you got to consider the worth.
Okay.
With the red camera, for example, I was shooting weddings, but this
camera is for shooting commercials.
Like if you want to be on TV, you got to have high resolution and you
got to have like fancy stuff, right?
So I was like, I want to shoot commercials.
And with weddings at the time, like this is how we brought in our income.
We could make maybe $5,000 to add video on to a wedding.
But with a commercial, I could be making $10,000 or $50,000 with
an equal amount of work, same amount of work now with the snoo, right?
So I'm considering the worth of this thing.
Okay.
Wow.
I can make more with this thing, with the snoo, this thing
promised extra hours of sleep.
And with a newborn baby, how much is an extra hour of
sleep or two worth it to us?
Right.
At the time, this was early days of Rainmakers when we had Kai and
we were still shooting weddings.
So like we were pretty stretched thin and every hour for us was so worth it.
If this could give us an extra hour a week, that would be a huge value.
Right?
So know the cost.
This is the number right there.
This is the number, but consider the worth.
Okay.
That's step one.
Now step two is you're going to check the long-term value of that item.
Okay.
You're going to check the long-term value of that item.
So what we do is for items like this, like we're checking to see for a
piece of equipment like this, right?
Is there a strong aftermarket demand, right?
Can I sell it used?
And I checked into this one and even three to five years later, I mean, I
was buying this one used for $20,000.
Like even three to five years later, you could still sell it for 70, 80%
of the original price you paid for it.
And for the SNU, we found it very similar.
We bought this one used at a thousand dollars.
You could still sell them a couple of years later for 600, 700, even $800,
as long as they were in decent shape.
Okay.
So that's step number two.
Now, step number three, you want to think about how long
you're going to use this item.
For the example, the red camera.
My thought was like, okay, I'll use this to make money with it and increase our
income for three to five years before selling it to the next user, you go too
long with technology, then it does start to depreciate a lot more, but I was like
three to five years is a good window.
I'll, I'll use it.
I'll make money with it.
I'll sell it for the SNU realistically six months.
I mean, then your baby's like a little too big for this thing.
You can keep it for the next baby, or you can just sell it off at that point.
Okay.
So that's number three.
Think about how long you're going to use that item.
I'm going somewhere here.
Now you're going to take the purchase price of the item.
You're going to subtract the use price of the item.
Okay.
So $20,000, how much I did spend to get this camera?
Let's say I could sell it for $16,000 a handful of years later.
That's $4,000.
Okay.
Now this $1,000 sell for 600, that's $400.
And step five, what we're going to do is we're going to say, let's talk about
how long we're going to use that item.
And we're thinking about the actual cost of it when you just zoom out.
Cause we get so focused on like the money now.
Right.
But if we just think like this one really only cost me $4,000, right.
I have to be able to float the money, but really it's only $4,000 and divide
that by the four years I'm using it.
This camera is actually only cost me in the long run, $83 a month, $83 a month.
And when I asked myself, would I rent this camera for $83 a month, knowing
that it can bring me in a $10,000 job every month, is that worth it?
If in the long run, if this fancy bassinet cost me $66 a month, and I
only use it for six months and I get an extra hour of a sleep, just paying $66
a month, is that worth it?
You guys could see how the answer to both these questions is a yes.
Okay.
This was scary.
Okay.
But I didn't camp out in fear.
I bought the red camera and guess what?
The price tag and those credit card payments, like they motivated me.
I got jobs.
I got jobs with this camera.
I paid off this camera.
Right.
And I made our family an extra six figures that year, literally just from this
investment, because I could get on better clients with this camera.
Now I'll be it.
It's still level one income.
Okay.
Still level one income where I had to show up and haul this heavy, heavy
camera and sweat and like, you know, I, but there was a stepping
stone to our freedom journey.
And I'm just sharing this story because it's funny.
You actually see in this photo, I'm carrying the camera.
I'm actually wearing a rainmaker shirt.
Cause I was building my pathway to freedom.
And it says I work for the internet on the back of this shirt.
I was already creating my exit plan, carrying this camera, but I just
knew like it was a stepping stone.
And I did end up selling that camera later and it sold for
thousands and thousands of dollars.
And when I add up how much we made with that camera and compare
it to how much it cost, it is just ridiculous.
It didn't actually cost me anything in the long run.
And you can probably guess why I'm sharing this story with you.
You're going to need to invest money, right?
You're going to need to go down to go up to start your business, but let's
talk about how you can afford it with this simple mindset shift, know the
cost now, but consider the worth, right?
You've seen the worth this week.
I could keep going on and on with exceptional stories.
We have thousands within our community.
community that have completely transformed their world with this style of business.
You've seen the stats, you know, that we have a new Rainmaker family hitting six
figures, $100,000 in sales every 11.7 days on average in our community.
Hey, we've been here together five days, give that another six days and someone
else is going to hit six figures in our community because they leaned into the
same.
So what's the worth of this, right?
Like there's new life on you, even just this week already as these healthy,
abundant mindsets are starting to bleed into your world.
Like that's just the non-tangible worth.
Now you've seen the level of support, accountability, tracking, time savings,
money saving tools in the mastermind.
It's a total value of over a hundred thousand dollars.
You saw this big old stack of all the things and all the free bonuses.
So I think we're good on number one.
We know the cost, but we're considering the worth.
That sound good?
Okay.
Now we're going to check the long-term value of the item, the investment.
In our community, like I said, a new Rainmaker crossing six figures every
11.7 days.
I mean, on average, this is not in our community, but on average on Amazon, a
new small business owner is seeing an average profit of $29,000 a month within
their first year, according to a study done by Jugglescout.
And that's just in one year.
Yet you're a driven person.
You're here on day five.
You're not just going to stop when things get difficult.
You're going to keep going.
And I know you're going to go the distance.
You're going to take this business.
You're going to scale it, maybe run it for three to four, maybe even five years.
And then you have this vision I'm giving you, like let's exit this business.
And right now we're seeing a three X multiple in e-commerce.
So let's say you're making $500,000 profit at that point.
Again, just a hypothetical situation, not a guarantee, but let's just say you're
driven, you do this thing, you set the goals, you do the thing.
That means you're selling this business for $1.5 million.
That's the potential long-term value of this investment when applied properly.
Now, I know this is not like a SNHU or a Red Camera where you could resell it,
right, used, you can't resell this used, but like, think about who you're going
to become in the next couple of years from now, from going through our program,
going through our dial training portal, taking you from zero to hero in the
e-commerce world, like these are real life skill sets that no one can take
away from you that you're building.
Skill sets that actually have real value in the marketplace.
I actually just did a quick search in LinkedIn and Indeed for some of these
skill sets you'll be mastering through the program.
This is a company hiring an Amazon brand manager paying $65,000 to $95,000.
I want you guys to look right here on these screenshots, $65,000 to $90,000 for
the same skill sets you're going to learn in our program.
Here's another company, $90,000 to $110,000.
Okay, here's another company and I can put it in good words because I know this
company, I'll tell Eddie that you came through our program, $50,000 to $70,000
just for an Amazon account manager, a growth manager, an Amazon e-commerce
digital manager, $100,000 salary, campaign creative manager, $61,000 to $131,000
salary, and the list goes on and on.
These are literally just skill sets you're going to learn in our community.
You're going to learn sourcing, you're going to learn social media, you're
going to learn how to manage e-commerce, you're going to learn how to manage
accounts on Amazon, you're going to learn merchandising, you're going to learn
these things that are real life, valuable skill sets, so now you can't sell this
thing used, but could you just build the business, learn the skill sets and level
up your income just from the skill sets?
Yes.
So when we consider the long-term value of this investment, it's not like a
material item whose value depreciates.
The value of this investment actually appreciates when you put it into action.
So let's just say I just camp this number.
The long-term value of this investment is $348,000, okay?
That's being really conservative based on the minimum average of $29,000 profit
over four years and then selling your brand for three X multiple, okay?
Now, even if you don't sell the brand, maybe you just want to keep running
this thing into perpetuity.
Let's just say after four years, this is a total value of $150,000 profit, okay?
Total value.
Next, we're going to go to step three and I want you to think about how
long this investment impacts you.
Financially, this could be years.
It could be generations, but mentally, right, emotionally, spiritually, I
hope it's much longer.
Once you learn these mindsets and modes of thinking, I hope you're passing these
down to your kids and your kids' kids.
And as long as you use this investment, as long as you lean in, as long as you
apply it, this could be like, it could be the rest of your life.
You're seeing benefits from this small amount of money you invest today.
Who do you think taught me the power of generosity?
It was this guy right here.
It was Grandpa Hall, as I knew him, Robert Hall.
And he was this transitional character in my family line.
Ed Milek calls this the one, the one that decided that everything changes with me.
You know, Grandpa Hall, he was this pioneer person.
He was the type of person who would step out before others.
He would go into uncharted territory.
He would seemingly risk it all.
And he served in the Navy and after almost dying.
He knew there was something more for him.
He knew there was like a greater impact
to be made in the world, but he didn't know what.
But he had that little feeling, that little intuition,
that divine guidance that said,
hey, if you go, you'll know.
If you go, you'll know.
If you step out of your comfort zone,
who you were made to be will meet you there.
He landed in Argentina, where eventually in Panama,
he pioneered the first Christian radio station
in Latin America.
This is him, he went from one-on-one ministry.
He was this kind of minister guy and loved to sing,
but he kind of had this ceiling.
He was just trying to start a church,
but he went from one-to-one to one-to-many
using technology leverage to his advantage,
where he previously had a ceiling,
now radio, this impact, it was unlimited, right?
And Robert Hall, he became really this one for our family,
the one who taught our family how to go before you know,
the one who modeled how to trust,
how to have unwavering faith, even when it's scary.
And ultimately, he was the one that imparted generosity
as he lived this out in his daily life.
And if we have any like Y-Whammers in the room,
if you've ever been or heard of Panama's Y-Wham base,
that's his house.
And when he was done in Panama,
he just handed the keys over.
He said, hey, have it, you can have it.
Let it flow, if you let it flow through you,
it'll come to you.
Robert Hall, like he was this transitional character
for my family line,
and I believe I'm a transitional character as well,
using leverage, using the power of internet
to reach you.
And maybe, just maybe, so are you.
The transitional character is the one
who within a single generation
changes the entire course of a lineage.
The changes might be for good or they might be for ill,
but for the most noteworthy examples
are for those individuals who grew up in abusive,
emotionally destructive environments
who somehow find a way to metabolize the poison
and refuse to pass it on to their children.
They break the mold,
they refute the observation
that abused children become abusive parents,
that children of alcoholics become alcoholic adults,
that the sins of the fathers
are visited upon the heads of the children
in the third and the fourth generation.
Their contribution to humanity
is to filter the destructiveness out of their own lineage.
So generations downstream
have a strong foundation to stand on.
Wow.
So when you think about
how long you're gonna use this investment,
who knows the generations beyond,
they'll talk about you.
That'll reflect on your life.
They'll be thankful for the decisions that you made today.
And hopefully, they're talking about you
about the way I just did about my grandpa.
You see, I could put 100 years on here,
how long you'll use this investment.
I could put five to 10 years,
which would still be a wild underestimate.
But for the sake of this exercise,
let's just put a year.
Because when you invest, at the minimum,
you're gonna be working with us a little over a year,
if not more,
when we include that bonus month in there we're throwing in.
So take the cost of that investment,
subtract it from the long-term value of this investment.
This is step number four.
Actually, how much it's costing you
to not find a way to do this.
So considering the true costs,
when you break this down monthly,
divide it over one year,
this could cost you simply not to take action on.
Because following this logic,
that is essentially what you're missing out on
in the future.
Now again, these numbers aren't guarantees.
I'm just using this example to help you
just reframe from something scary
to something that there's even something scarier.
And it's this.
It's the cost of not moving forward,
of not doing this,
of not, of just doing this week
and just like being like, that was fun.
And it's just thinking about it for years.
You know the average cost to franchise a subway
is $100,000 to $342,000, okay?
And okay, and if you wanna leverage,
if you wanna do a subway, okay,
you also have to have a minimum
of net worth of $150,000
and liquid $100,000 in liquid assets, okay?
And the average top line revenue of subway
is only $400,000.
And profit margins are only 7%.
That's a scary 7%.
That means you are putting in hundreds
and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And the break even time is four to five years
before you're making maybe $28,000.
And you're likely having to show up
and make sandwiches
and deal with your so-called employees
who are stealing money on the side
and smoking weed in the freezer.
Like this is what traditional old school
business investments are looking like these days.
And we're not asking you to be traditional
or old school or wait an average of 4.5 years
to break even.
This opportunity is like a steal to get into
if you really think about it.
Margins are higher than traditional businesses
and yes, it involves some risk
but the level of support we provide,
the risk is really minimal.
And so I'm asking you to go before you know.
To go before you know it feels scary
because it's your hard earned money.
Your money, right?
Your money.
But even that mindset I believe is holding you back
in my opinion.
If you wanna be the.
transitional character in your family, it takes moving forward, even when you're scared.
It takes doing something others for others, doing something for others, even at the expense
of yourself.
And I want to tell you a crazy story, and this is why I have the emotional music still
playing because I get emotional when I tell this story.
Because I didn't even know this phrase, like go before you know.
I didn't even know this was a thing my grandpa would say, I thought we were cool and came
up with it.
But then my mom heard me say, and she's like, you know, me and dad used to say that in their
years of pioneering in a new and scary territory, and my grandpa would say this as well.
It's kind of weird.
And I remember in those years, those hustle years where we hadn't fully figured out leverage,
but we were starting to take these entrepreneurial risks, we were putting what seemed like it
all on the line.
You know, at a time those things like it got scarce, it got scary, it started, I started
to get these like winks, these winks from heaven saying, keep going, go before you know,
keep going, go before you know.
It was like my grandpa was rooting for me, you know, and I remember investing in that
first big product.
It was like 1000s of dollars, right of inventory.
We were so scared.
And I was like, what if this doesn't work?
And like, this is before Amazon, we were basically selling stuff off this Instagram page.
And I was like, what if there's a total waste of money?
And we lose it all?
Well, what will my family think?
What will Chelsea think?
Like, she trusted me and if this fails, like I fail her.
What seemed like small thoughts were now spiraling into big thoughts.
And it was moments before this big product launch, I'm like playing the negative what
ifs in my head.
I'm going to, I'm going to push this go live button and it's going to be crickets.
And when you're in that season and you can feel it, it feels like you're in the middle
of the ocean, you're in the depth and it doesn't feel like you're going to make it.
And in those moments in the dark nights of the soul, the valley of the shadow of death
where you listen too closely to those negative nagging thoughts, they'll keep you there.
They'll pull you down into the abyss.
It's hard to see forward in those moments.
And some of you are in a moment like that right now.
But here's what I've learned about those moments.
The best thing you can do, the best thing you can do in that moment is to start paddling.
Because there's a wave coming.
There's often a wave coming and even if you don't see it, those who are paddling are not
going to catch the wave.
It's going to pass right underneath you.
Or if you're in the wrong place, it's going to crash on top of you, tumbling you into
more confusion and fear.
But getting into momentum, just paddling just a little bit, even when you're not seeing
the wave yet, this is what gets you ready to catch it when it comes.
And so paddling we were in that season, moving forward in the midst of fear, into the game
of entrepreneurship, the game of breaking the mold, the game of becoming the one.
And here's what happened on that day we launched that product.
I thought it was going to fail.
I clicked that go live button and we sold out.
Thousands of dollars came into our bank account and we sat there in awe.
The pile of orders on the table, I was packing it up, getting ready to ship.
This is before we're using Amazon.
And I grabbed that last label and I put on it that label and the name on it caught my
eye.
The name on the label said Robert Hall.
The name of my grandpa, Robert Hall, and at this time he had been long gone.
He had passed years prior, but there it was, Robert Hall.
It was a whisper from him and keep going, keep paddling.
Go before you know.
And life went on as you do, you ride that rollercoaster of life and there's ups and
downs, especially in entrepreneurship.
And months later at this point, like the money had come and had gone.
We were growing at this point, but with growth, there's resistance.
And again, things were tight.
We were learning these concepts.
Now we're running a real business, but costs are rising.
I invested in that camera.
We're buying inventory.
We even hired this local guy to start level two in our life, editing some of our projects.
It was $2,000 a month.
But things were getting scary again, financially.
It felt like that early time in our marriage when scarcity minds that started knocking
our doors.
It was like looking at the bank account again.
It got lower and lower.
We were about to go into our slow season.
How are we going to make it through?
I was feeling the weight of it again, like I'd be hustling and striving and having dreams
of myself with huge arms, holding up this big weight above my head, but tiny scraggly
weak legs, like a chicken.
I saw it as a sign.
I was trying to be my own provider.
I was trying to hold the weight above my head.
I was trying to make things work.
I was trying to strive, but my foundation of my thinking was not stable.
I was weak.
I was trying to generate my money.
I was trying to make it happen for me.
I was forgetting about service to others.
I was focusing on myself and I.
It was in lack.
Yet a scarcity and lack knocked on my mental door in that season.
Something else started to rise up in me, thank God.
I'd seen breakthrough before.
We'd seen the miracles before, and I was starting to see it more and more, and I felt like God
was teaching me something.
He was so gentle to do it over and over again until I got it, thank God.
And those glimpses of that.
The future kept us going and one day, like at a time, right?
Keep going, keep paddling, go before you know and let the money flow through you.
It'll come to you.
We're starting to develop these mindsets and seemingly the
money was about to run out.
We needed $10,000 that month just to get it through.
And an email comes into my inbox.
They found us online.
They loved that I had this red camera.
They saw my experience selling physical products.
They were launching a product and they needed a promotional video.
Their budget, $10,000.
It was the exact amount we needed, manna from heaven.
So we flew down to Malibu, California, and this is right after these fires
had ravaged this wealthy neighborhood.
But one of the houses, it stood still protected in the midst of this chaos,
this house we are shooting at for this job and this house felt like our
financial situation somehow holding on week by week, everything around it
was burning down, but always this house was there just enough in the midst
of fear surrounding it saying, you're not going to survive.
And in this place, you guys, this was like a mansion.
We had never seen wealth like this before in this family.
They were so generous.
They treated us like queen and king.
They put us up in this guest house and it was like its own house.
And the room was full of goodies and bathrobes and the
softest towels I'd ever felt.
We were just vendors in this equation yet they're treating us like royalty.
And in this room, you guys, there was a bottle of wine and on this
bottle of wine, Robert Hall.
Robert Hall, this is a picture of that bottle in that room.
This blew my mind go before, you know, maybe I'm slow, but it took me about a
year of this happening over and over and over again until I realized something.
There's these winks from heaven saying to me, you think this
provision is coming from you?
Look out your window.
Look at the birds.
Carelessly singing their songs.
They don't store up things.
They don't strive.
They don't stress over where their next worm is coming from.
They steward what they have.
They multiply it, but they live in abundance.
Look at the flowers.
Like they don't, they're not laboring.
They're not spinning up their beauty.
They're living in abundance.
And these little things, these birds and these flowers, they're here today.
They're tomorrow.
They're gone.
But how much more are you valued to be taken care of, to be provided for?
So I believe if you're sitting in this room right now with here, with me today,
you're here to hear this message, regardless of you go for it with us or
not, go before you know, I believe you can be a transitional character for you,
for future generations.
I believe you can do things that no one else in your family line has done.
And I believe the impact is going to be great.
If you just trust the process, the refining, the resistance, the
breakthrough that's on the other side.
And in that season, when I was getting constant reminders of this, like over
and over, it finally clicked and I was free.
I could strive and hustle to figure out this money thing out, or I could just
release it, I could trust that there always will be a way out of this.
I could trust that there always was, and there always is provision for my family
that is supernatural and beyond my understanding.
And somehow the money's always been there.
And honestly, the less I focus on me and getting it for me and my family, and the
more I focus on just simply loving you, the people we feel called to serve, the
more it multiplies for everyone involved.
And when we started the Rainmaker family, it was just me and Chelsea.
And, uh, our little baby Kai.
This is me and Chelsea Kaizen.
This is like one of our third challenges we ever did.
It's one of our third challenges we ever did.
This is 2020.
He's this Kai, Kai's five years old now.
It's crazy.
This is one of our first big challenges.
On the other side of that screen was a mom, just like you, a family member, just
like you with a decision, like the one you have in front of her.
And we had no idea over the next handful of years, we'd be able to help
transform thousands of mom's lives.
And back then we had one team member.
Her name was Laney.
She was our nanny.
And we had no idea that now we'd have 85 families working across the world
on this mission to help you.
Who get the, I get the privilege of paying every two weeks on payroll, right?
That's scary.
Things get tight still, but somehow we keep paddling, trusting if we steward
this, if we multiply, if we just look at what's in our hand and not focus on
lack, if we just focus on what we have, we can help more people.
And because like these 85 families, we're now able to reach thousands
of people were able to reach you.
We're able to serve you.
There's people in the chat.
There's people watching you.
There's people cheering for you behind the scenes and make waves in the lives
of people that want to partner with us.
I believe this is the key for you today.
Like we got to pursue vision.
We got to pursue vision, not provision.
When you pursue vision over provision, there's always.
provision for your vision to believe in something and then
actually act like it say like money's not going to tell me
what to do. I'm going to tell money what to do. And what
started in that loft in that 700 square foot apartment when we
told money what to do instead of letting it tell us what to do.
That was a seed that is still growing to this day. Because for
us prosperity is not about the money in the bank account. It's
about blessing other people. And when this is our normal, our
wealth is literally not determined ever by the money in
our bank account. And in that moment, our definition of
wealth changed. Right. And today, I think is some is a day
for some of you that you're going to start to use money like
a tool, you're going to officially start to break the
power of money off your life. And some of you going to do it
by jumping into the mastermind. To begin to break off the fear
to stop giving money so much power to start using as a tool
to get around this type of community to get around this
type of mindset to get this in you to get this cellular. And
so I want to just break this down logically for you like
again, whether it's the mastermind investment or some
other thing that's the money walls hitting you, I just want
to lean into this thing with you. Okay, I want to lean into
you just give you some How can I mindset says we're going to
bring this practical right now we have a payment plan option.
Okay, you can break this investment down to manageable
bite sized chunks. Now you just got to remember this is a
program focused on literally teaching the skill sets to make
money. So if this is the wall, if this is the obstacle, this
potentially is the way for you. Right? This is starting to break
that thing that's just been holding you back to spend a
giant in your life. So if you don't have the faith yet, and
then we're going to get you in this community, we're going to
give you the tools and the resources to figure out the
rest. Now the average American you heard me say this yesterday
has $3,000 worth of stuff they're not using right now.
This is a how can idea. I remember Melissa, she was a mama
seven at the time when she came to Rainmaker. She was a
missionary in another country. And her husband sold his car to
get into this program. He loved that car. But they were sick
and tired of having to live on donations. They had big dreams
about making big impact in their community. And honestly, tithes
and offerings wasn't cutting it. So they sold a car, they jumped
into Rainmakers, they built a business, it was scary, they
bought inventory, but that business generates $200,000 in
sales in a little over a year. Melissa was so impacted, she
wanted to give back. So when the opportunity came up, she jumped
in as a coach for our Rainmaker students, she helped tons of our
students hit these huge milestones. And we went into we
went on to promote Melissa, she's now head of our success
coaching team. She leads the entire team of success coaches
giving back what was given to her. So you don't have to use
all your money. Okay, like you can go you can go sell things.
Okay, so go sell things. This is an action for you over the
weekend, if you need to sell something to get into this thing,
go sell something. But number three, how can I mine says you
don't have to use your own money. You don't have to use
your own money. Like I had this student come in to the program
who didn't have any of the capital and his dad that right
his dad had the capital and his dad ended up being the investor
for his for the program and funding the first round of
inventory. He did all the work that dad was the money, right?
The dad didn't have to do anything. It's a good deal for
dad. The dad loved it because it was totally passive for him. And
the student loved it because he got off the ground fast. So the
question is, do you have a friend, you have a family
member, do you have a loved one who wants to invest in you? Maybe
they're been dreaming about starting a business like this.
And you don't even know because you haven't asked him. This
student, he went on to launch products with his dad, and they
would just do 5050 deal, his dad would make money, he would make
money. And then he just liked us so much. He just kept doing
it. He went to partner with four to five other people. He helped
another person in our community launch a six figure business.
And he went to partner with influencers and friends in his
industry. And he'd help them launch a product. And he
basically just do a done for you service for them, where they
would fund all the money, right, and they would pay for all the
inventory. And then they were just a 5050 split on the
profits, he'd run the business. This allowed him to save enough
money to do his own products eventually, where he owned 100%
at some point. And inside our mastermind, we actually have a
lesson on this on how to raise money. If you want to do this,
we have a lesson on this. It was taught to me by a guy in real
estate who uses the same strategy to raise millions of
dollars. And people in real estate, like they use this all
the time, they never buy these huge properties with their own
money, they're gonna use the bank's money, they use someone
else's money. And on that topic, you can use the bank's money to
aka a credit card or a loan, right? Now you need to treat
debt with respect because it can creep up on you. But a lot of
companies you know, and love were started this way, right?
It's a risk. But how many of our rainmakers do know, there's a
difference between good debt and bad debt, right? Bad debt is
buying liabilities is buying things that depreciate in value.
It's buying things that you're not going to go take action on.
But like buying like material items like a flat screen TV or a
jet ski, or buying this course and then doing absolutely
nothing, right? Good debt is when you buy money making
assets, or in our case, the training and support so you can
build your own money making asset and online business. The
thing is, this does go against what a lot of people were raised
in, right? Because not a lot of us were raised by crazy
entrepreneurs that wanted to be the one to change the game,
right? The more entrepreneurs that I talked to, the more
common I find that this is, we had Janine mix on our podcast.
She's the author of this book called by the damn coffee. And
she talks about this
Probably because a lot of people are just trying to like skip the latte so
that they can afford their business.
But savings doesn't do a lot.
Savings doesn't do a lot to really step you in the wealth and getting
into debt for her, like was actually key to her financial freedom.
Actually learn how this tool works and how other people are using it.
The schools, the banks, you know, everybody uses this tool.
So if you get smart with it and you learn to leverage it, it can
change your life and it did for me.
The thing that has been programmed over and over and over and over again.
By a handful of people is that they have defined what financial freedom is to you.
They've said it's paying for cash and everything.
It's being completely debt-free it's having this much in your savings
account, having this much backup money, having all these things,
and then you're financially free.
But you know what I say, you get to decide what financial freedom means to you.
That looks entirely different to everybody.
I, a long time ago, what like 10 years ago realized it didn't have to be debt-free.
I had like held on to that pain of my debt for so long.
And I'm like, I never want to be in debt again.
This is going to, this is going to hit some people hard because I know the pain.
It's not that hard.
And it's not that far away.
It might feel like it right now, but that is temporary.
The feeling that you are feeling right now, like I could cry is temporary.
It's everything is temporary.
Nothing is permanent.
Just know that your situation is temporary.
There is a way, and that way can look entirely different than what you've
learned, and it might be entirely different if you're in the same situation
and you've been trying the same thing and you still feel like my life sucks.
I can't have coffee.
I feel guilty for everything.
Try something differently.
There is a million different paths to financial freedom.
Powerful.
Janine makes, talking about money, talking about leverage, talking
about using someone else's money.
Right.
And we have a resource on this.
If you want to go to rainmakerfunding.com or write
this down to go to it later.
We have a resource where we actually polled our audience.
Okay.
This is not financial advice.
You should consult with a financial professional, but if you want to check
out what people in our community are doing, we just ask them and
this is what they're doing.
And on rainmakerfunding.com there's a couple options.
And one of them is something called coach financing.
It's a program or it's a company that literally funds people's
ongoing education like this.
So you can apply for that, but it is like a two to three week process.
So if you want to work with us, but just like you got to get a loan,
basically that's a way to do it, but it can take some time, but the other
way and the way that I'd probably recommend it just because it gives
you a little bit more flexibility is a low interest, 0% interest credit
card that has a high limit.
Okay.
And we actually interviewed a funding expert on this and he agreed like a
loan is great, but you do have to pay a loan every month, but a credit
card, you're only going to pay on what you use.
And if you get 0% interest for something like 12, 18, or even 24 months,
it gives you a long time to like, you don't have to pay that down.
You can pay it down as you can with the business.
And of course, when I talk about credit cards, just know this
information is just educational purposes.
Only.
We're just trying to bring you knowledge here around.
Like this is how, what just people are doing in the entrepreneurship space.
So consult with a professional if you need to before
making any financial decisions.
But here's this clip from Ty talking about revolving credit.
Okay.
Revolving credit.
And what he means by that is this credit cards.
Okay.
Credit cards.
I always, always, always get the question.
Well, Ty, I'm an Amazon business.
What funding is right for me?
Well, I come from the background of an Amazon business.
That's what got me into the funding industry was because I had an Amazon
store and I was constantly looking for more money and my wife worked for a
funding company and we thought, you know what, there's all these Amazon businesses.
They need money.
Let's team up.
And let's help these businesses get capital.
So the answer that I always give for an Amazon business, because it's an
inventory driven business, revolving credit is the key.
The number one reason why I say that is you get credit based approvals.
A lot of us were, we're already business owners.
We're entrepreneurs.
Maybe we're 10 99 contractors.
It can get tricky when we have to show our income or provide collateral
with revolving credit, like a 0% interest business card.
You don't need to show your income.
You don't need to show that collateral.
The second major, major reason here, it's an inventory driven business.
If I go buy a bunch of inventory and I send it into Amazon and I use a loan, I
have to make a payment on that loan next month, no matter what, with revolving
credit, I can do that research.
I can determine what product I want to sell.
I can determine if it's going to sell quickly and then make that buying
decision, and then I'm only making payments when I actually use the money
with a loan, you could get a loan, not spend anything cause you can't find
any inventory, but you're still making that payment no matter what.
The third reason is it's open-ended.
Like we were saying, with a loan,
once you use it and you pay it back, it's gone.
You'd have to go get another loan if you needed more money.
With a revolving line of credit,
as you pay it down, you can spend.
You pay it down, you spend over and over and over.
So for an inventory-driven business,
where you're gonna be buying inventory over and over,
hence the term revolving,
it is a great, great, great resource to have.
The fourth reason here is you get 0% interest
for 12 to 18 months.
Every funding product that we do on the revolving side
will be 0% for 12 to 18 months.
I have yet to find a 0% interest loan.
Even something like a home equity line
is still gonna be 6, 7% right now.
The last reason, probably my favorite, is the cashback,
the bonuses, the points.
For you Amazon businesses, that is free inventory.
For me, I do all of my marketing spend,
my travel, everything.
I'm here in Orlando at Disney with my family right now,
and we booked all of our flights,
all everything on cashback.
Didn't cost me a dime,
because I strategically used those cards for my business.
That's Ty talking about,
he's a funding expert talking about credit cards, right?
And when he's talking about revolving credit,
what he means is you can get one of these credit cards
that has 0% interest for 12, 18, even 24 months,
that's like up to two years.
And at the end of that two-year period,
there are certain credit cards
where you can actually transfer the balance
from credit card to credit card.
So instead of paying the credit card off,
if you're still just wanting to use leverage
in your business, you can actually transfer the balance
to another 0% interest credit card and extend the term.
So it's basically just revolving that 0% interest
for as long as you want, okay?
So again, do your research on this, okay?
You're an adult, go to rainmakerfunding.com.
We have a couple resources for you there.
But if you wanna do this, I'm just telling you,
it is a pathway that people do use, okay?
And number four here, just breaking down
the how can I mindset on this money wall,
you are resourceful, right?
You're resourceful.
Don't look at your limited resource,
look at your unlimited resourcefulness.
This is one of the first breakthroughs in your business
is figuring this out,
because there's gonna be moments in your business
where you gotta figure it out.
Like we have had this happen in our business so many times
where the money's not there and we have to figure it out.
So I just like, I'd encourage you
just cancel that other thing that's costing you money,
take on an extra shift, right?
You gotta do DoorDash or Instacar or whatever for a season
just so you can invest in yourself in this way, do it, right?
You know, a crazy exercise you can try.
If you're finishing this week and you like,
are like, I have to do this thing,
but you need to figure out the money first, try this, okay?
I promise you, if you do this,
you're probably gonna figure this out, okay?
And then on that paper,
put numbers one through 50 on the left side.
And literally just start going down the list
and start coming up with ideas.
They're gonna start slow, they're gonna be weird.
Some might not be even logical,
but just let the ideas just start flowing.
And you're gonna start to get in this resourceful mindset.
You're starting to build a muscle
that's gonna really help you in your business.
And you might stall out there.
You might just be sitting there
just thinking for a little bit.
But I found that when you do this exercise,
when you seriously sit down,
you hit like idea 25, idea 30, and then boom,
there's the idea, it's it, that's it.
That's how I'm gonna do this.
And all of a sudden it just clicks.
And oftentimes it's really something simple,
something you hadn't considered yet
because you were just so used to this, I can't mindset,
but you're shifting it to, I am gonna do this.
I can do this.
I remember in college,
like I started to learn this resourceful mindset, right?
Like, and I wanted to make some money,
but I didn't have anything, right?
Well, I did.
I did have a minivan, this really cool minivan.
And I had the internet, right?
I had a college dorm room, right?
Like I was in college and I lived in the dorm.
So the dorms are full of students
who wanna make their rooms their own, right?
I had this buddy, Tyler.
So I looked at what I had.
I want you to look at what you have.
What do you have?
What's in your hand?
This is the key to learning to be resourceful.
It's not focused on what you don't have,
but what you do have.
And this is what I did have.
And so I would go on the internet
and at the time it was like Craigslist.
You didn't have Facebook marketplace,
but Craigslist had this free section.
And I knew, you know, all these students,
they need furnishing for their dorms.
And so we use this minivan right here,
me and my buddy Tyler,
and we look in the free section for leather couches.
We go pick up those leather couches.
As soon as they hit Craigslist,
we would clean them off
and we'd deliver them to people's rooms for $50.
We had a business, you guys,
and we were cranking couches out
over and over and over and over again
until we hit some resistance and crashed the car.
But that's a story for another day.
Actually, someone crashed into us, okay?
So someone crashed into us.
That pretty much shut down our business.
But I'm telling you this story
because maybe there's something in your hand,
something you're already doing,
something you have already access to.
Maybe you're meal prepping for your family.
What if you did that for another family?
People pay really good money
to have their meals made for them.
And you could literally just double your recipes.
Maybe there's another family that likes to eat
just like you.
You're already doing it for your family.
Maybe you just do this every Sunday night and boom,
now you have a business.
Stuck mamas, box mamas,
you're already taking care of your kids.
What if you?
You take care of someone else's kids one day a week.
We had a friend do this.
They joined Rainmakers.
They started a mini little daycare two days a week.
They started watching three to four other people's kids and
they're making a killing doing it.
You guys know how much childcare costs.
She put that money into inventory.
She was able to start the business.
Hustle Mamas, you already have an income source.
Can you take on an extra shift?
Can you lean in just a little bit more?
Can you get on another project?
What about this?
Could you ask for a raise this week?
Could you just be one to two paychecks away from not only getting in this
mastermind, but being able to grow your business fast, paying off this investment.
I'm just giving you guys some ideas, just getting the ball rolling.
You guys can start feeling them bubbling up in you.
I get that money is tight for some of you.
I get that.
You also though want to make the most out of your money and joining the
mastermind is literally how you do that.
So figure it out.
Let's go get it done by tonight.
Get those fast action bonuses.
That's how you make the most out of your money.
Go to join rainmakers.com and get it done.
So I hope we took this wall and we leveled it down for you a little bit today.
I hope by some of you, you're already leveling up.
You're already just like pushing through.
You're already using these mindsets, how to afford anything and considering the
value and considering the worth and even some of these just like practical.
How can I like, let's just figure this out.
If you haven't had someone encourage you, like this is what you're
going to get around in our community.
You're going to be around a community of people that think this
way that we're never limited.
We're just like, there's always enough.
We live in abundance.
And so I know I spent a lot of time on the money wall, but oftentimes that's
the biggest giant for people because the obstacle is the way, this is
the thing you're trying to get.
This is the thing you're trying to get into with this program.
It's probably the biggest thing that's trying to hold you back, but it can be
the way you can use it to be the way you can go down so you can go up and I'll
spend the remainder of our time hitting these five other walls.
Okay.
But these ones are fast.
They're quicker.
Okay.
But these ones, we do see them be walls for some people.
Let's talk about the time wall.
It's often, you know, for the people that, you know, maybe they're
entrepreneurs, they've, they've done this before, right.
And, but for them, you're like thinking like, how much time is this going to take
me, you know, like, you're like, I just did the investment or I'm ready to do
the investment, but I'm just not sure.
Like, do I really have the time for this?
I'm already busy.
I'm already crushing it over here.
I'm a hustle mama, whatever that is for you.
Maybe it's time.
This one's less common, but like, I would say if you are here with me right
now, we're like an hour and 30 minutes into this training, you have time for
this, like if you've watched this or watch the replay, even if you're
watching on two X speed, you know, that like money can be replenished, but a
minute gone is a minute gone forever.
Right.
You want to make sure that with this monetary investment, like how much time
do I have, how much time is this going to take me?
And so we're five days into this thing.
I'm going to say like, you definitely have the time.
This thing is engineered to see if you have the time to do this.
And you definitely do have the time.
And I don't love giving people like time prescriptions because
everyone is truly different.
Right.
But some people, I would say work five hours a week in their business.
Some people are working probably 40 hours, but if a dear friend comes to
me and says like, Hey, Steven, real estate, like how much should I
block off to do this business?
I typically tell them five to 15 hours.
Okay.
So if you're trying to free some time up, trying to do this thing five to 15
hours, and so you, I know you have some time because like you're, you've
been here, but the question is, do you have enough time and time is really
interesting because it's the only thing that's really equally given out to
anyone, to everyone in the world.
And you know, there's this quote floating around.
I've seen that says like, you know, me and you, we all have the same number
of hours in the day as Beyonce, right?
Like it's just this funny quote, like Beyonce is doing all these things.
She has the same amount of hours.
Right.
I don't love the comparison trap, but it is true.
Right.
That we all are given the same amount.
And so it's not really about how much time you have.
It's about what you do at that time that really matters.
And when you come into our program at join rainmakers.com, this is literally
one of the first things our coach is going to work with you on is really
optimizing your calendar, right?
Really creating your dream week, really just making sure that like, if you're
putting in time, it's the most effective time.
So if you're thinking like, do I have the time here's what an exercise I
would encourage you to walk through.
Okay.
And if I can show you this, if this is the thing, like, I'm not sure I have
the time and I can show you how to save time and free it up, let me know in the
chat, would you be, are you cool to sign up then?
I think we can do this just right now.
We can knock down this wall.
Time is an easy one.
Time is a pretty easy one because people make things, they make
time for things they value.
And you obviously value this you're here.
So you're going to make time for it.
But mentally I would encourage you if time is your thing, make a list of the
five things you do consistently to bring in income for your family.
So you list the five things you're doing right now to bring an
income consistently for your family.
Then I want you to take these things, you know, like, oh, it's my job and I
sell stuff on Facebook marketplace and I'm doing a little Poshmark on the side.
I'm doing some Etsy, like whatever that is.
Like, just keep thinking what else, what else?
Get five things on there.
What are you doing consistently to make money right now?
And then I want you to rank those things.
Okay.
Just rank them from most effective to least effective.
Okay.
Most effective to least effective with the last one on the list being the least
effective way that you're bringing in income for your family.
Okay.
You have your list in your mind.
and I have that last one right there.
Now I want you in your mind,
or maybe you're doing this on paper,
take a big red marker and cross that one out
and put in its place the Rainmaker Mastermind.
Because what you're doing right now ain't cutting it.
I'm just speaking the truth to you.
If you knew for certain
you could create a time-freedom based business,
would you wake up 30 minutes earlier
or go to bed 30 minutes later?
Would you cross out that thing
and just put that time into this?
Congratulations, that's all you need to get started.
So you can go to joinrainmakers.com
because it's time.
And the less time you currently have in your life,
actually, the more you need what we have in this program.
Okay.
I think that's it on this one.
I could go more, but I think we should keep going.
I guess the one other thing that we see on the time thing
is, okay, but now is not a good time.
And now is not a good time.
I mean, that's like saying, okay, I'm sick,
but now I'll start living healthier when I feel better.
Or when I have money, I'll be generous.
It's just not how life works.
Like it's the action that creates the result, right?
And so I've honestly found that it's never a good time.
Last week, our whole family got sick.
You've been hearing me coughing this week.
Chelsea's usually right next to me,
but she's super pregnant, which we're super thankful for.
But her pregnancies are really hard.
She's in bed most days.
Like this is intense time.
Is this a good time to do a launch like this?
No, but at the beginning of the year,
we set a goal and here we are, we're showing up.
Right, this is what we do.
So if it's never a good time,
it means it's always a good time.
And even when we started our Amazon business,
on top of all the other craziness,
like was it a good time?
No, but we did and look what happened, right?
So if you're saying, I'll do this when I have more time,
I say, stop, just stop it.
Like be thankful, actually, this is how you flip it.
Be thankful for this season
because you have so little time,
you're literally gonna be forced
to make the most out of that time
when you invest in yourself.
It'll force you to focus on the few vital things
that are going to make the most difference
because you don't have the luxury of wasting time.
And this is awesome for you, this is so cool.
I'm so excited for our third kid to come
because every child we've had, we have leveled up.
We had to, because like you go from zero to one kids,
it's like changes your world.
And all of a sudden we had to be way more productive
at work because there's suddenly less time, right?
And guess what happens?
Like Chelsea now like does more work in two days
than she used to do in a full week working like overtime.
So be thankful that your time is limited right now
because family time matters.
Like you can make this work, you can like,
you can lean and you can be laser focused, crazy effective.
And that wouldn't happen to us, won't happen to you
if your time wasn't limited, right?
You just scroll on Instagram all day and dilly dally.
You wanna see you have the time for this thing?
Go to your screen time map on your phone.
You know, just cut one of those things.
Not anymore, okay?
Now is the best time.
So whatever time you have,
it's more than sufficient to get started.
Let's tackle this wall, okay?
This wall, some of you in the chat,
let me know if this is you, okay?
Maybe it's support.
It's support from a spouse, a family member, a loved one.
There's that close friend you go to
for decisions like this, for confidence.
Some of you maybe are watching this,
you're doing it in secret.
And I know, we've had people do this.
We've had people launch products completely in secret
and you haven't told anyone yet, okay?
And if that's you, like this is a clue for you.
This might be a wall for you.
Maybe it's now or maybe it's later in your business,
but you're wanting to do this business,
but there's just a little bit of fear around support
for the people around you.
If that you, is that you in the chat?
Just let me know.
I see you, Lily.
Yeah.
So you want to create financial freedom for your family.
You want to create stability.
This wall could be one to overcome.
Like you could do this this weekend.
Now on our podcast, we had Kristen Boss on one time
and we met her through a mastermind
and she has a ton of wisdom.
And she works more in like the network marketing industry.
However, like knowing that she works
with primarily a female audience, like we do,
we asked her about this.
Cause I would just know it's such a common thing.
We were like, okay, Kristen, real.
Talk to us for real.
What advice, like if you just had to be just like blunt,
what advice do you give someone who feels
like they want to go all in on something,
but they're worried about what their spouse might think?
Okay.
And her answer was pure goal.
Okay.
And if you're in that situation,
I'm just going to play this video for you.
It's just a couple minutes,
but I think it's going to give you some freedom.
Okay.
This is Kristen Boss.
You know, my demographic that I serve is mostly women.
And so there, when they're making an investment decision
or taking their business seriously,
the number one thing I hear is like,
I got to go see what my husband says
or let me make sure he's on board.
And there's, this is twofold.
I believe there is,
and this is going to be ouchy for whoever hears this
and know it's with love.
But I think a lot of times women default to their husbands
because they are afraid to own their decision
of like of trusting themselves and saying,
I believe in me, I want this.
So they go to their husband in this quiet kind of meek,
like, hey, I'm thinking of this thing.
Can I do it?
I don't know, but it's going to cost some money to do it.
And I think maybe I want it.
I'm like, I wouldn't be sold.
was shark tank. I'd be like, no, I'm not giving you the money to do this, but they go. And then,
and then if the husband says like, Oh no, babe, there's just no way. Suddenly she has the out.
It's like, Oh, it's not me. It's not me that decided I couldn't do this. My husband told me
no. So it's like, she gets to hide behind the husband. And, and I that's the ouchie is I think
some women hide behind their husbands because then if I could just blame him, it's not me
instead of, okay, I like to view it as like your partner is also your investor. So go to him as if
you would an investor. And, and especially I, I see a lot of women, if they aren't bringing
an income to their home, I can see why they're like, no, I'm taking his money and, and his
things. And I don't want to do, I feel bad. And it's like, you have got to step up for the first
person you have to sell as yourself. Like don't even talk to your husband until you're first
sold out on like, hell yeah, I'm doing this. I'm all in and I'm going to make this work. And that's,
that's the energy I came to my husband and I was so hungry. And it was about that $2,000
investment. I knew he would have like a lot of hesitations and red flags with a $2,000 credit
card purchase. And, and I was like, listen, I'm going to do this and I'm going to prove you wrong.
Like whatever. I'm so determined to prove you wrong, whatever you think, if you think I can't
do this. And my husband was like, he didn't understand to this day. I'm like, babe, did you
ever think the $2,000 investment would bring us here? He's like, no, never. I had no idea. I didn't
know what you were doing. I didn't understand the coach. But what, what he did was he bought my
belief in me, like in order for me to sell him on my future, I had to first be sold out myself. And
he bought my certainty. He's like, okay, $2,000, here we go. And that, and a month later, and just
so people can kind of see how this worked was I was building my belief that I, I am somebody who
gets a return on investment on the investments I make while also showing him like, Hey, I can do
this and proving him. And so that month I made $2,000. I broke even on my investment. So in my
mind, I'm like, I have proof of concept. I am now somebody who makes the full return on our
investment. And then the very next month I signed a contract with a coach for $12,000. And I was,
I didn't tell my husband, so maybe I don't recommend it. I told him after the fact,
but for me, I'm like, no, I'll make this back without a problem. And then I think that same
month I had signed like $20,000 with like eight, 8,000 for a mastermind, 12,000 for a one-on-one
coach. And at that point I had only broke even. So, but for me, I had enough proof of concept
that I am somebody who makes a return on her investment. And so with this whole husband
thing, I'd just be like, first of all, how can you own this decision fully for yourself?
And like, I always ask women, they're like, let me talk to the husband. I'm like, before you do
that, what do you think? What do you want? Like, what are your thoughts about this? And oftentimes
most women, they don't give themselves the opportunity to ask, what do I want? What's
important to me? Like most women, especially moms, they're used to defaulting to everybody else's
opinion. So actually owning their decision, especially for investment feels very big.
So that's usually where I'm telling people, I'm like, well, what do you want first? Let's sell
you first. Let's not even introduce the husband. That's obstacle number two. Obstacle number one
is you. Love these tips. I love these tips from Kristen because she's walked lots of people
through this as have we. And so just to summarize, don't ask for permission, ask for support. How
you show up matters. Like, I mean, pretend that you're on Shark Tank. You show up and one way,
you're not getting an investment. Especially if you're like trying to convince someone else and
it's their money. Don't ask for permission. Ask for support. Don't ask for permission.
Ask for support. Sell yourself first. Others will catch on later, right? Sell yourself first before
you worry about selling to other people. I love how she said that. One, and number three, don't
expect someone who has no entrepreneurial bone in their body to fully understand right away.
You just got to get a yes. They will understand when they see it. This has been like me and
Chelsea's journey, a hundred percent, because Chelsea worked at like In-N-Out. Her family,
you know, is very, very traditional. And her dad just never understood, like even just the
photography thing. It was just like, what are you guys doing? Like keep that stable job at In-N-Out.
You're getting paid great money at In-N-Out. I mean, In-N-Out pays a pretty good minimum wage,
you know, like stay there, Chelsea. Don't go into this photography thing, you know,
like that's scary. Right. They just didn't understand it, you know? And like,
it still took some time. I think when we bought our, you know, first million dollar home, you
know, they were like, oh, huh, that's just weird. Like some, you guys are figuring out something,
you know? So like, it's taking time, it's taking years. So there's some people in your life,
it's just going to, it's going to take years. You're going to have to do the thing. You have
to show up. You're going to get the result and just show them. You're just going to have to
show them. Okay. And lastly, I would encourage you, and this is just kind of just some wise
advice. If you are married, you're in a deep relationship like this, you just, you want to
to live in the light as often as you can.
Okay, and just quick disclaimer,
I'm hearing some knocks on the door
for I think my five-year-old,
so he might be running in here anytime.
So live in the light.
This is advice our mentor gave us
when we were thinking about moving, okay?
And he said like, okay, like this is a big deal.
Like you're leaving your family
and like you're kind of doing this in secret,
looking at houses, like you gotta tell them now.
You have to tell them now, you gotta shine a light on it.
Because if you can do this soon, you can do this often,
you can just like, just get it out there.
One, it's not eating you up inside.
Two, it starts to help you resolve this decision actually.
Because if there's pushback, you're like,
okay, now I actually get to have a conversation
and work through it.
And then three, it helps their heart, right?
If you're stepping into something new and transforming
and going on this journey, you want them coming with you.
You don't want this to create distance,
you wanna create connection.
And so for our family, it was just so good
to start having those conversations
and just love on them in the process.
And like, I know this is kind of a scary thing,
us moving away and like, why would we do this?
We have all this family support here,
but we really feel like we're supposed to go
before we know.
We're the crazy entrepreneurs
and we're just really feeling it.
So we just put it out there in the light
and this is gonna help you.
So I'm gonna encourage you, if you've just been
kind of hiding it, just put it in the light.
Ask for support.
Sell yourself first, right?
Don't expect them to fully get it,
but just like, I'm doing this, babe.
I need your support.
It's gonna be great.
I want you to watch.
Now, if you need help with this conversation, okay,
that you're somebody you're gonna have today
before you put down that money,
go to joinrainmakers.com, okay?
Right now, you just opt in on that page.
You're gonna see a little button.
If you go scroll down on the application,
there's an application right above this.
You'll see a bunch, of course, testimonials from,
this is Lainey, this is our nanny, right?
This is our nanny who was there at the beginning.
She saw us doing this thing, saw us starting Rainmakers.
She ended up starting her own business,
crossing six figures.
She now is a coach in our community.
Like, you can just listen to these stories all day.
They're so fun.
But right below that, okay, there's this little button
that says looking for support for your spouse,
for talking with your spouse.
We got you, okay?
We've thought through all the things
to help you on this journey and give you more leverage.
If you need a conversation starter,
there's a little letter.
We actually wrote it for you, okay?
And so, I hope if you had that support wall
or you're kind of worried about that,
we give you some resource, give you some tools,
you're feeling confident,
and turn that into a level up today.
If that's helping you, say yes in the chat.
Say yes in the chat.
Okay, we got a couple more walls to tackle.
We got ability, okay, ability.
Like, am I tech savvy enough to do this?
I don't know, you know?
Like, can I do this in my country?
I don't know.
Like, there might be some questions around ability
about this business.
And so, the first one I want to hit
is the tech savvy question.
Anyone in the chat feeling like,
I don't know if I'm tech savvy enough.
Like, I jumped into Blackbox.
I tried to do the Instagram thing.
Guys, we went at a crazy pace this week
because this is a ring in.
This is a competition.
But we're going to support you at a whole nother level, okay?
But if you're thinking like, I don't know.
Okay, I see a lot of yeses.
Like, you're feeling like I'm not tech savvy.
Okay, what I'm about to share with you
I think is going to encourage you a lot.
Okay, so for this question, I would say,
if you've made it this far in this training,
you have what it takes technologically
to make this business work, okay?
And you had no help this week.
You didn't have one-on-one support.
We went super fast this week.
And in our curriculum, you can like pause the videos, right?
They're short, they're to the point.
And you can literally just like watch them,
pause them, do the thing.
Play the video, pause the video, do the thing.
It's step-by-step.
And if you could keep up this week and you're on day five,
and even if you're feeling a little behind,
you'll be totally good with the mastermind support, okay?
As long as you have that mastermind support.
I probably would not recommend you go do this on your own.
I would not be a wise investment.
Do it with the mastermind,
especially if you're not tech savvy.
And so like, just to assure you, right?
Like you heard Deb, the fire breather, Deb.
Like Deb launched a product.
Like I would say Deb is one of our more wise Rainmakers,
okay?
She's lived a lot more life than some of our Rainmakers.
And she wouldn't consider herself crazy tech savvy,
but look at this beautiful product that she launched.
Those designs, those graphics, they're top notch.
Did she do this all herself?
Yes.
But did she go into Photoshop and learn this?
No, she learned how to level two
and manage people on Fiverr that did this for probably,
you know, 30 to $50, did this design for her.
She used her communication skills.
She built as a teacher working for over 30 years
to wrangle these designers and these manufacturers
and Amazon, and she made this dream a reality.
And you know who else said that she wasn't tech savvy?
Farrah.
I don't know if you caught this,
but like Farrah posted in the community
just like yesterday, okay?
This is a post from her celebrating her first,
I think $1,000 day.
She's had multiple of these,
but this was, I think the first one.
And she said right here, I am so not tech savvy.
Okay, and I don't know if you caught it,
but she was in the group yesterday,
just encouraging you guys saying like,
I can't read it, but right here, okay?
I encourage you, put your all into this, right?
Put your all into this.
I was one of the Rainmakers that made $1,000 a day.
I work, I work 50 hours a week.
Okay, I'm not tech savvy.
I spend 30 minutes a month on this business now.
And I profit 40 to $60,000 a year off two products.
This is just literally yesterday.
And what's so cool about Farrah's story,
and I don't want you to miss this,
is she went through a challenge in 2020, just like this.
Back then, we didn't have a team.
We didn't have all the resources that you're getting.
We had a simple idea and a tried and true Rainmaker method, but the
course was a lot rougher, to be honest.
It was just me.
It wasn't this whole team.
There was no tracking.
There's no accountability.
And yet Farrah believed.
And when we said, do the thing and raise the money, here she is in 2020.
You can see the post right here.
I just scroll back on her history, February 10th, 2025 years ago.
Little did Farrah know that just around the corner, COVID was about to hit.
Her main source of income, which she runs a daycare, was about to be sliced, right?
She normally had 14 kids enrolled, but she was forced to go down to just
four kids, the essential ones, right?
And so her income got cut by a third immediately after joining our program.
And did she want to quit?
There was probably moments.
I can guarantee it that she was feeling the resistance, but she didn't.
And even with the pandemic intensity and her income being limited, she launched
a little slower than she wanted, but she got her product out by October of that
year and get this, I checked in with her yesterday on this, just being like,
can I share your story?
This is so like, I want to know some more details of the story.
Cause I just saw this post and I was like, I bet her income got
hit right after that.
And it was true.
It did, but I didn't know this part.
When she launched her product in October, it was the last day of her husband's job.
This is the last day of her husband's job.
Talk about a step of faith.
I always think about this moment, Indiana Jones, where he puts his foot out and
there's this invisible bridge and he has to take this step, seemingly risking his
life, and then all of a sudden the bridge is there, this is entrepreneurship.
And Farrah's bridge came to, when she took a challenge, her vision was to earn
enough money to buy a river property, build her family, a small cabin.
She wanted to have her children have a place to make memories, to build
relationships with, and she wanted to pass this down in her family for years to come.
And here she is posting four months after that launch, she had made a profit of
$23,000, sorry, $26,300.
And she said, it's possible.
I work 55 hours a week as a childcare provider and I homeschool my, my three
kids, and most of all, she purchased the property and the cabin's underway.
Now it's not enough to build the cabin, but it's a good start.
And here she is a little, a year later after that post, her family's
taking a trip to the cabin she built.
So this is made possible because I made a leap of faith in Rainmakers.
And here we are spending the week, enjoying it with our
kids and our granddaughters.
So if you're saying you're not tech savvy, here's a story
of someone who also said that.
And you know what I imagine?
I know Farrah has friends watching this week.
So I think you guys can imagine this with me, you know Farrah.
Inside this cabin, there's this framed photo on the wall.
It's a bit dusty and it's these two.
And one day this small boy comes up to his mom, mommy, mommy, who's that?
And this mom looks down at the boy.
She gets down on his level.
She looks into his eyes.
She says, that was great.
Great.
Grandma Farrah and her husband, Chad.
And let me tell you the story of what they did.
So if you're thinking you don't have the ability, think again.
Farrah went through this process.
She went to join Rainmakers.com.
She applied.
She got accepted.
She figured out the money.
She sold stuff.
She like had a garage sale or something sold on Facebook marketplace.
She made it work.
Life hit her hard in 2020, but she didn't let that take her out.
She let it take her up.
She didn't let that wall hold her back.
She let it level her up and she launched this product.
And in the scariest time when her husband literally walked out of his
job, like because of COVID and totally took a step of faith in his own.
This is a family of pioneers.
This is a family that's willing to say, I'm going to be the one out of the boat.
I'm going to be the one to step onto that invisible bridge and know
that's going to be there somehow.
They're faith-filled entrepreneurs.
And they turn this wall into a level up and she's encouraging you.
So lastly, let's say this is the last one.
There's a second to last one.
I know we're going longer today.
This is day five though.
It's okay.
If we just bonus, bonus content, I think we're helping people.
I think we're breaking people free.
And I think like, regardless if you're joining us or not, I
would love for you to join us.
I think it's the best thing for you.
I know what's inside this thing for you.
That's why I'm doing everything in my power to literally just take
down all the walls for you.
So you can step into this thing.
Cause I know what's on the other side.
And if I had the antidote to the poison of the world, you better believe I'm
going to sell it as hard as I can.
I'm going to give it as hard as I can.
And if you're confused about this, like maybe there's some things about the
business model or how it works, we are only able to cover so much.
And so you might have some of these questions.
These are just some common questions.
And so people are like, oh, okay.
Hey, like, what, Steven, like you're doing this with hundreds of people,
maybe thousands of people, like, like, and I see ads all the time
for like Amazon and stuff.
Like, won't this just ruin the opportunity?
Like, what if everyone starts selling the same product or
we're using the same software?
And I just think even this question, right.
Anyone have this question in the chat?
You're like, I've been kind of thinking that, like, I don't know.
Like, I think this question is actually rooted in a belief that just flop.
Right.
Just think about this for a second.
Do you think this might just kind of reveal something about
what you think about money?
Do you think for someone else to make money that it takes money away from you?
Right.
If, if so, you might be thinking about money, like a pie, right?
Like there's only so much money.
And if someone just grabs a bigger slice than you, you're
going to get a smaller slice.
Now, while it's true, if you cut a pie into eight slices and someone
takes one that leaves seven pieces for the rest of us, Amazon,
entrepreneurship, money-making, it's not a pie, it's not a pie.
You saw the stats on day one about Amazon.
Amazon is growing by a hundred billion dollars a year.
From last year to, I think it was 23 to 2024 is the stats we have.
A hundred billion dollars, went from 500 billion to 600 billion.
And Prime membership is growing as well, up 11% is 200 million Prime subscribers.
So Amazon is not a pie.
It, and if it was, it's a pie that's getting bigger every single day.
There are far more new buyers than there are new sellers, which for us, right?
Like complete, like, what am I trying to say?
There are far more buyers than there are new sellers.
So for us to like, say we're creating competition for each other, that's
like saying we're trying to drain the ocean with a teaspoon, okay.
And even within our community, I'll tell you that like they have so many moms
in our community that are crushing it with bread products right now.
I'm not just saying go sell bread products.
What I'm just saying, like, it just seems to be a thing right now.
And I enjoy a good piece of toasted sourdough.
I get it.
Like there's a thing on bread.
And I would say the only real competition is not the one
that most people think about.
It's actually the one with yourself.
It's the competition between you and what you need to do to
make it happen to hit that goal.
What a great competition that is.
Can you imagine like what changes, how that changes things when you
engage in this game of entrepreneurship, like a competition against yourself.
Right.
Of a driven person.
I mean, you're a winner.
If you're at this end of this challenge, like you're a winner.
You might not be winning right now in life or business, but you're a winner.
You've tasted winning in the past and you're ready to taste it again.
So let's compete with ourselves.
This is a little mindset shift.
It's going to help you be the best that you can be with what's in front of you.
And what a better way than to compete with a coach, with resources, with a
community of other driven people who are going to encourage you.
We have people, even in the same niche, helping each other.
We have a spirit of community over competition.
I have people who are selling the same exact product, just
different variations.
They all have their own flavor on it.
They're serving the same audience.
And guess what?
They'll connect and say, what's working for you.
What's working for you.
Let's mastermind.
Let's be better than everyone else out there.
Cause we're together.
We're not against each other.
And so if you're thinking like, Hey, this is a pie.
It's not, it's growing.
And there's a piece of that pie for you.
Now you might be thinking like, okay, but Steven, like, I don't know what, why
don't manufacturers just like, why do they sell to us instead of selling
just on Amazon directly?
Right.
If you're thinking that, that's a great question too.
And the short answer is.
They just do, they just do.
Like there are some manufacturers that do sell directly on Amazon, but every
single case where you see a successful person like Farrah making money on Amazon
is because the manufacturer would rather supply her than sell to the end customer.
It's just the way the world works.
Now, some manufacturers are playing around with a Xi'an and
Timu type marketplaces.
But honestly, most finding it hassle to deal with thousands of customers, they
would rather just deal with one person.
So they end up like on these platforms and neglecting the customer
getting terrible reviews, right?
They're not in the game of serving a customer.
That's just not what they're wired to do.
And anyone ever bought something from one of these platforms ever have it end up
being like nowhere near what you thought, right?
I saw this article, this guy bought like this fancy power drill and then he got
it and it's a picture of him holding a piece of paper.
It's like printed out.
It's a little like, it's the photo that he bought, but it's like literally
just a piece of paper.
And like, that's what these manufacturers are doing.
Okay.
For these manufacturers, especially the ones we're working with to survive, they
need to be top notch.
They need to be ethical.
They need to be best in the business type manufacturers and for them to be this
good, they have to stay focused on manufacturing, right?
They have to stay focused on the production, the materials or packaging.
They don't have time to focus on selling, right?
Basically their attitude is I'll deal with you and then you deal with the thousands
of customers you're going to get as a result.
Okay.
So to answer this question, why would manufacturers sell to us instead of just
selling on Amazon directly?
It's just how the way the world works.
It's just, they do.
Okay.
Now, another question you might be having confusion on is like, can I do this
from my country?
The good answer for this is yes.
If you have an internet connection, it doesn't even have to be a really great
one.
You can do this, right?
It's actually one of the top reasons people love this business as location
freedom, meaning you can do this from Guatemala.
Well, you can do this from, you know, Ghana.
You can do this from wherever.
Okay.
I was trying to, I was trying to listen.
I chose G.
That was a bad idea.
I was trying to do some alliteration there, but I ran out of ideas.
Germany.
Okay.
How's another one?
It has location freedom.
You can do this from the beach.
You can do this while traveling.
You can do this part-time anywhere you want.
And so no matter where you are in the world, you can have joinraymakers.com.
You can get started ASAP.
Okay.
This is another question.
And I do like to hit this one as well, because this is a classic question
that people get in the online education industry, especially gurus.
Like I wouldn't consider myself a guru.
I think a guru is usually like, I'm at the top of the mountain
and you will never be like me.
You peons, you know, I think I see myself more as a servant.
And I'm like, I want you to go beyond me.
I want my ceiling to be your floor.
I want your case study, your success story to be even greater than mine.
And so I wouldn't consider myself a guru.
However, this is a question that we get a lot, right?
You ever think that's like, okay, if you guys are making so much money on Amazon,
what do you charge for this?
Right?
So the first answer to this question is, well, at first we did it.
Okay.
So at first we taught people for free and we did this for a big season.
When we were just learning, we just put it out in a Facebook group and like you
could get in for free and we would just teach you what we knew.
Okay.
And I found it.
I just learned better by teaching aside.
And I was so excited about what the breakthroughs had in my life.
I'm shouting this from the rooftops, guys, pay attention, guys, pay attention.
Join this free Facebook group and I'll teach you how to do this.
It's just completely for free, right?
And out of a hundred people, no one really did anything.
Actually only two did two people did something.
And I mean, you're looking at this challenge and most people don't even
show up out of 4,500 people, only 500 people showed up and out of those 500
people, only a hundred people are still here live on day five.
We'll probably have a hundred people watch the replay.
So when you do stuff for free, people don't do anything.
But in that season, we did have two people do something.
Okay.
One was Sharon.
Sharon went on to build a seven figure business, multi seven figure business,
generating a hundred thousand dollars a month or more.
She was a retire out of her nursing job.
She was able to be home with her kids.
That was one person that paid attention, actually did the thing.
The other one was my mom.
Okay.
Who ended up launching two products on Amazon.
Thanks mom.
Like she listened.
She believed in me.
Thank you, mom.
I love you.
Okay.
And then here's what we did.
We decided to charge a little bit.
Right.
And our first round of students, you guys, this program, when we
did this the first time it was $2,000.
It was $2,000.
And the craziest thing happened out of those people.
They actually just started doing the work.
They actually leaned in.
The impact was actually greater because they were invested.
Because they're invested.
They actually just did the thing and got the result.
And we had tons of six figure case studies come out of that first round
of group, some even seven figure case studies, the percentage of
impact was like so much higher.
And so to provide the amount of support, it requires resources.
Like if I'm creating a program to support you, I want to serve you.
Would you rather I have no resources or that I have abundant resources
to help you in your business journey?
I think you'd rather have the latter.
Most people don't do this, but I'm going to do this.
Cause why not live in the light?
Okay.
So in 2023, we had our biggest year ever with Rainmakers.
We reached the most moms we have ever reached in a year.
And do you know our profit margins on the Rainmaker family side of the business?
It's okay.
If I share that with you in 2023, this business generated millions
of dollars on top line revenue.
Our bottom line, 0.22%.
Okay.
In 2023, this was a ministry.
This was not a business.
Okay.
And just to clarify, that's not 22% profit.
That's 0% and 0.22%.
Okay.
Uh, this is a top line, millions, bottom line, nothing.
Okay.
It's $37,000, $37,000.
Okay.
Right now with the cost of advertising.
Okay.
I'm just breaking this down for you.
It costs $3,000 to run ads, to have enough people see it for some
of them to raise their hand.
And some of them to get to this point, to become a Rainmaker $3,000.
So some of you don't even believe in yourself enough to invest in yourself
today at joinrainmakers.com, but somebody believes in you and that's me.
And that's Chelsea.
And that's our entire team to the tune of $3,000.
We believe in you to get you here, to this room, to hear this message today.
And then that's not just, that's not it.
When you join the program, we just spent $3,000 to get you here.
And then it's going to take us $3,000 to fulfill on all that value
that we're about to give you.
Okay.
So essentially out of the $6,800 on a good month, our $800 is our
profit on that $6,800 and that's on a good month.
Okay.
And that's before we have to pay taxes and all the other stuff that comes
with running a business of this size, with a team of this size.
So I hope I'm being super like, it's okay that I'm being super real with you
because I just believe in living transparently and in the light for all
to see, and I hope that this is kind of demystifying this thing that some
people think like, they just like, this is just like, they just don't think
because they just have not been in my shoes running a business of this size.
as they go in our mastermind group,
or they look at the numbers in this group,
and they just start doing math in their head,
and they just start assuming crazy things,
having no knowledge or experience
of what it takes to run an organization
that impacts people at the scale
that we're impacting people.
Yet Chelsea and I, we really believe in this mission
to transform moms.
We believe it to the point of like,
not even making money on it sometimes, right?
We believe though, if we're going to impact families,
we're going to influence the world,
we're gonna keep driving this mission,
like we gotta have more margin to do that.
We really believe that a driven mom
is the most powerful force of positive change in this world,
and you've seen it this week.
And the Rainmaker family is gonna play a huge part
in bringing this to a global influence,
to becoming the number one transformational place for moms.
When you think of transformation for moms,
you think of Rainmakers,
because we've helped so many people.
I want this to be a household name where it's like,
you bring up Rainmakers 10 years from now,
and people are like, oh my gosh,
you had a friend go through that program,
she's completely different, it's like crazy.
Okay, so I hope that answers the question.
If we make so much money on Amazon,
why do we charge for this?
And I guess the other part of this question is like,
I just say to this, Amazon is just way more passive,
and this is our passion, right?
Like, these are two different businesses.
We have an Amazon business,
and like, it's completely passive for me at this point.
We have this business, the Rainmaker family,
where we teach it, and this fills all my time.
I work nine to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday,
because I love this.
I love this, I love seeing the impact we can make.
On my Amazon business, I meet with my virtual assistant,
Svetlana from Sweden, every two weeks at most.
I mean, like some weeks, some months,
we just don't even talk.
She runs everything for me at this point.
It's completely hands-off, it's consistent income.
You know, on years like 2023,
we profited more in that business
than we did in the bigger business, right?
And it's just about like,
I mean, if you compare the relative to, right,
well, we talked about like relative to absolute income,
and you compare that, like, yeah,
I guess we are making more on Amazon, you know?
So that's another question that we get is like,
do you make more on Amazon,
or do you make more teaching Amazon, right?
This is another common question.
And again, I think in people's minds,
we're somehow like, if somehow,
if we're like making more teaching it,
then that discredits the thing we're teaching.
I don't know.
That doesn't make sense to me for a bunch of reasons.
We do make more top-line revenue
on the education side of the business,
but you saw the profit.
There's been years where we actually profit less.
And so if you're talking absolute income, right,
definitely the education business generates more revenue.
And this is simply because
we're selling a higher-priced product.
But if we're talking about leveraged income,
like relative income,
which is the comparison between how much time it takes
and how much money it makes,
and I say I spend maybe an hour a month
on my Amazon business,
and I spend on Rainmakers, the education business,
I spend 140 to 150 hours a month, you know?
Like someone's gonna do launches even more.
Like when it comes to relative income,
we definitely make more on Amazon,
because at this point,
if we have an established Amazon business,
it's very passive.
And so there's another thing about this question, too,
that I feel like people who ask it,
they don't understand.
And if you caught this on day one,
it's gonna give you a raise, right?
People trade dollars for things they value.
People will trade money for things they value, right?
And on Amazon, I can sell stuff that's like, you know,
I mean, we sell a lot of different stuff on Amazon,
but most stuff I sell is under $100.
Like when we're selling those shirt stays,
one of our earlier products,
like that's about a $10 to $15 problem for someone in life.
Like they want to keep their shirt tucked in,
and that's like about the max
they're willing to trade for that thing.
That's the maximum value
that they're willing to give that thing, $10 to $15, right?
For me to like keep their shirt tucked in,
that's the impact in their life, it's worth $10 to $15.
When we change someone's entire financial future,
possibly even for generations to come,
when we teach them valuable life skillsets
that they can profit on for years to come,
how much is that worth it to people, right?
You can see why we can make more
with the Rainmaker Mastermind product,
because it's just more valuable, okay?
So that's my tip to you,
like whether you're on Amazon or off Amazon,
the more value you can add to those customers,
the more you can level on people,
the more you can get paid.
And essentially this is what I taught you on day two,
where we said service to others equals true success.
As one of my business mentors says,
whoever loves the most wins.
So I feel like we got those confusion questions out of the way,
the confusion walls coming down.
Okay, we have one last wall.
And honestly, I think this is one of the biggest walls.
It's often hiding under other walls, right?
Money might feel like your wall,
but if you really dig down, it's fear underneath it, right?
Whether you realize it or not,
like I can help you with the five other walls,
and I think we just did,
but I actually need you to help me with this one.
I get it, right?
It's scary.
It's scary to take that Indiana Jones step,
to step outside your comfort zone.
And the easiest thing you can do
is do what you've always done, right?
Do what you've always done.
But if you do what you've always done,
you're gonna get what you always got.
You ever hear that saying?
And staying in that quadrant, doing the same thing,
staying comfortable, when you think about it,
it's not actually comfortable at all.
Otherwise we wouldn't be here talking about becoming a rainmaker and we can
both agree like that's not good enough right like you'd want more you there's
something more for you you want more and I know you're worried I had the same
feelings like what if I screw up what if I make a mistake what if I do something
wrong I'm just gonna break this fear off you okay newsflash newsflash you will
screw up you will you just will Farrah said like when she was telling her story
like she's like I messed up so many times I could be constantly like asking
the group for help like there's a fact you're gonna make mistakes you will do
something wrong and you'll do it all the way to the bank so I'm not asking you to
set aside your fear what I'm asking you to do today just make your why bigger
than your fear and move forward scared instead of letting fear be in the
driver's seat of your life just put it in the passenger seat you don't need to
say like I think people say punch fear in the face and get rid of it like I
just not a thing like just don't let it drive just put in the passenger seat say
buckle up we're going and even when the road is hazy even when it feels scary
you just think about that why why why do I deserve the wealth and abundance that's
available to everyone on the earth yet so many few actually realize right now
I'm gonna do my best to help you minimize the fear in the mastermind by
stacking unfair advantages in your favor every step of the way but I want
you to declare with me right now again I can help you with the other walls but
this one you gotta do a fear is not gonna keep you stuck say in the chat
right now fear is not gonna keep me stuck fear is not gonna keep me poor
fear is not going to keep me held down declare it for me declare for the world
in the chat box right now there's a big difference between being frozen in fear
and moving forward scared like sometimes there's real danger you walk
out your front door there's like a giant 10-foot snake right there that's real
fear because there's actually a real danger there right but for a lot of us
who fears happening to we're just confusing with anxiety anxiety is just a
fear of an imagined danger right and imagine perceived negative outcome that
actually even hasn't even happened right if that negative outcome like it's this
negative what-ifs that like Deb was talking about right rolling around in
your head as you're trying to sleep what if right but it's negative what-ifs and
they don't help you at all in fact they just waste a ton of mental energy right
they just produce bad fruit they just produce anxiety and tension in your body
in with that same mental energy if you learn to rewrite these neural pathways
in your brain you could actually start asking positive questions the positive
what-ifs what if I make this work what's gonna happen when I quit my job what if
how are my kids gonna respond when I'm more present what if you know I'm able
to go to new levels in my life and in my marriage just because of this
business right what if this fear is not actually fear of failure but it's fear
of success because I know what fear I know what failure feels like like I'm
living it you know but success I have no idea the ways that will change me and I
want that I'm just reframing that fear for you and again like this takes time
this is why we do mindset Mondays in our mastermind every single Monday because
it can take months they've done studies on this to develop new neural pathways
in your brain so when resistance comes up you know how to respond to it it can
take repetition it can take time for these things to become default default
it starts with awareness and we're starting to bring awareness things you're
like wow I just kind of caught myself saying I can't you know you bring
awareness to it but eventually it becomes default so when things come up
you're like how can I the obstacle is the way like the obstacle is the way and
so I hope that we're knocking down this fear one for you but because whether
you're doing this with us you're doing this alone this fear wall is gonna be
one that's gonna be there it could take you up or could take you out and at the
end of our time together this week I hope you're considering joining us at
joinraymakers.com to continue momentum to do life together to build something
powerful together for you and your family and I'm gonna encourage you as we
end today to speak life over your business right declare these things
these one-liners that you have in your notes from this week the ones that
really stuck out to you don't just leave them in your notebook hiding in the dark
I'd encourage you put them on a post-it note stick it on your mirror your
bathroom mirror like get these mindsets inside of you and your head and your
language repeat them to yourself as you go to bed like this is like my I feel
like my life's work I try to squeeze as much as I could into our short time we
had together and I want to end today with with just one more powerful story
about the power of words and moving forward in the face of fear Chelsea and
I were in high school we were super young when we met we were immature we
were naive but somehow like we knew I don't know somehow we knew let me see if
I can stop sharing my screen so you can see me we knew that we'd get married
like we just knew we were just like we're getting married like I don't know
how you know that as like a
I think I was maybe 17.
She was maybe 16, but we just told people this.
I don't know why we just were like, we're getting married.
And they kind of scoffed at us.
Our friends, I even had bets with friends that like, this is not going to last.
I mean, like most high school relationships don't, but we stuck together through
four years of long distance after high school through college, intense emotions,
conversations, fights that almost broke us up many times, like to the point
where I was ready to propose.
I was graduating college.
We were still pretty young, but we had been dating five years at this point.
So I got the ring and she said, yes, right.
We planned the wedding.
We send out the save to dates.
We were doing the thing, but in that process, oops, that's not it.
But in that process, we actually kind of got around the wrong person.
Okay.
We got around the wrong person.
And I just tell you the story because the wrong person saying the wrong words can
really bring some pain into your life.
And so we went to this marriage counselor.
It was someone we trusted to speak into our life, our marriage, equip
us with the tools to succeed.
And she started to poke holes in our dream.
This dream we had ever since we met, she started to kind of dig into the
past and what about this?
And I mean, I don't blame her.
She's an awesome lady.
I still know her to this day.
She was just trying to love on us in the way that she knew at the time.
But I think deep down, looking back, she probably had some fear of her own.
That was coming into the room with her.
She had, she'd been married.
She no longer was, she had been through some trauma, some hurt.
We were young, but we had issues, no doubt.
Like, but we had hope, but she wanted to keep it real.
Right.
And those questions was negative.
What ifs like they got to me like, and anxiety about the future.
And this is just the monumental decision.
Like, it just like kept me up at night.
Like I'm making this huge life decision.
And what if I'm making the wrong decision?
What if this lady is right?
What if like, and I just started spiraling and eventually I broke.
And it was, you know, pouring rain in the car that day with Chelsea,
when I called off the wedding and she melted, it was like, I tore her heart out.
I cut through it with a chainsaw.
Like, like we had sent out, save the dates and everything.
We had to call and text each person and tell them like, we're no longer moving
forward right now, or maybe, I don't know.
I mean, we sugarcoated a little bit and we're like, oh,
we're just pushing it back.
We're just praying about it.
I don't know what we said, but underneath it was so much pain.
Underneath it was super hurtful, super hard.
It was all this a waste with all these five years of fighting for one another,
the long distance, the late night calls, like the growth, the love we had,
was it all just like about to explode?
We didn't know.
But what we did know is we needed help.
You know, we needed a mentor and luckily Chelsea had one.
And this God send of a lady, like she, she loved on Chelsea.
She met with her at coffee shop.
Chelsea cried on this lady's shoulder.
I was kind of getting colder and just like shutting down.
And eventually though, at the recommendation of this mentor, Chelsea
brought a DVD home, okay.
A DVD home and some determination.
And this was a course, it was a training course that this mentor had purchased.
This mentor had invested in this course.
It was called defining the relationship by Danny Silk.
And Chelsea said, I don't know what the future holds, but I don't want to give
up on this thing until we go through this.
And I agreed reluctantly.
I mean, I didn't know, you know, I didn't, wasn't sure if
this was going to help.
I was still in my little ditch of a mindset, but I remember popping in that
first lesson and he starts, he kind of comes on the stage and he's like, in
the next six weeks, this course will either make your future marriage
unbreakable, or it's going to break you up by week three, that's not
something Chelsea really wanted to hear.
But I was like, okay, like this is going to get real.
And I'll tell you guys by the end of that course, what happened was truly
miraculous because not only have we grown more in those six weeks than we
had in nearly six years of being together.
But there was this exercise that they took us through and this is the
thing that really sealed the deal.
They had us do this vision casting exercise.
It was about like looking forward, seeing yourself at the end of your life
and looking backwards and just like, what were you celebrating?
What were you looking at?
What did we accomplish?
What did we do together?
And we actually had to do this exercise separate.
Okay.
We like, I had my piece of paper.
She had hers or some music playing and we wrote out our visions.
We brought these visions together.
And when we brought them together, we'd look at each other's visions.
They were the same.
And in that moment, we saw it just confirmed the thing.
We always knew, even as immature high schoolers, there's something
here and we can go the distance.
We knew like, if we're going to go, we knew we could go the
distance because we had the same vision.
And if we know where we're going, we can figure out the in-between.
And after that course, we put a date back on the calendar.
We re-sent out revised wedding invites.
And on our wedding day, we cried most of the day because we were so thankful for
the valley we had just walked through together, it was hurtful.
It was intense, but we were so much stronger because of it.
resistance of the seed going down into the dirt, having to die so it could
become a tree, we had to nurture those roots being strengthened in the dark
abyss where no one sees the work you're doing before we could have the fruits
that shine for everybody to see.
And in that season, we learned the power of vision, the power of words, not just
our own, but the people we surround ourselves with, and in that season, we
wrote a manifesto, words that we live by, and what you're about to see is baby
Steven and Chelsea, 23 and 21 years old, and what blows my mind every time I
watch this is how these words still resonate to this day, and if anything,
they're more true today, knowing what I know now than I did back then.
So this is our compass.
This is our manifesto.
I just want you to hear my heart on this.
And maybe just, maybe it aligns with your vision and it'll become yours too.
In a season of unknown, we decided to lean in.
We chose to have the hard conversations.
We shifted to look forward to the future instead of our past.
When we looked far enough down the road at ourselves in our last years, holding
hands on the rocking chairs on the back porch, we asked ourselves, what do
we want to be remembered for?
Why are we here?
And where are we going?
We both took time to answer this question separately.
And when we came together to compare our answers, they were the same.
It didn't matter what we were going through.
We knew we can make it together with that shared vision for our future.
After that aha moment that gave us hope for the future, we created our manifesto,
the video you're about to watch.
What you hear in this video is what we wrote.
This life is about love.
It's about love and how far we'll go, how far we'll stretch to show up and
become that love for other people.
This life is about people.
It's about making people feel worthwhile.
It's letting people know they are seen, letting them know they matter, that
something would shake and be a little off center if they weren't around, if
we weren't in this together, this life is about sticking together.
It's about being brave together, settling together.
It's about learning to pull out the strength and wipe away the tears together.
This life is about not fearing, not playing small, not feeling inadequate.
This life is bolder than the smallness we want to claim for ourselves and the short
time we have here.
This life is about being here, really, truly here for a moment, for 10 minutes,
for an hour.
It's about looking around and remembering these true things.
Life is a precious gift.
We are never guaranteed.
We must grab it and live it as fast as we can for we've been given something
beautiful.
This life is about something beautiful.
It's about capturing that something beautiful, learning to treasure that
something beautiful, that something beautiful will drive us into great
adventures, into epic love stories and better things than what we could have
ever found on our own.
This life is about finding something bigger than us, finding something bigger
This life is about finding something bigger than us, learning how to dance in
our own smallness, really rejoice over not having to hold it all together.
There is so much joy in that.
This life is about joy.
This life is about joy and what joy looks like when you see it on the faces of the
people you love.
This life is about joy and what joy looks like when you extend it to others over
and over again.
Over and over again.

If you're trying to go to Hawaii, this is your desire result.
The thing that you're really gearing for with this business is the time
freedom, the financial freedoms that retiring your husband, whatever that
thing is, we call that Hawaii.
You're starting over here, your current reality, maybe you're a box mama,
a stuck mama, a hustle mama, and you could swim to Hawaii, right?
And that's going to be hard and you might die.
But luckily, none of you are swimming to Hawaii.
We built you a pretty solid boat this week.
We gave you some techniques, some tools, and yes, you might make it to
Hawaii, but it's going to be lonely.
You're doing it on your own and you might get seasick.
You might get lost.
That's going to take you a lot longer.
You could take a plane to Hawaii, but what we're offering you guys this
week is the private jet experience.
Okay.
This is not for everyone, but if it's for you, this is my last call to action.
You can go to joinrainmakers.com.
I'm just telling you, you're powerful.
Okay.
You are powerful.
You doing the kind of challenge, even a season when things feel tight, you're
literally breaking the power of money of your life.
You're saying I'm going to be who I am without asking money permission.
This is the first step to stepping into prosperity for you.
It's actually breaking poverty off.
Just doing these kinds of challenges.
Even if you're low on time and you just did this thing, you're coming against
that scarcity in this opposite greater spirit, like light and dark.
They're not opposite.
One is greater.
You can't ever overwhelm a tiny candle by cranking up the darkness.
One candle will just outshine the light for miles.
That's the power of doing something like this kindness, generosity, right?
It starts to break these things off of your life, even especially
in seasons when it feels hard.
Okay.
So if you've been doing these congratulations, like you were stepping into wealth.
Okay.
So today, the kindness challenge, write a heartfelt letter to one of your
parents or another adult, a mentor who has made a difference in your life.
Tell them what you love about them, something you learned from them or
reasons you're grateful for them.
Send your letter via snail mail or deliver it in person.
Okay.
If you want to text them, that's fine.
But I feel like a letter, we got to do some sort of written thing today.
Okay.
So if you're going to text them, I want you to write this out and then text it
to them.
Okay.
Be like, Hey, I was going to send this to you, but I wrote this out.
I just wanted you to see it today.
I got like two texts this morning, randomly, just randomly from people
being like, encouraging, you know, Hey, I'm thinking about you this morning,
Kai and Ollie and the new baby.
I love you so much.
I just want you to know you've always had me in your corner, but even more so that
God is faithful to surround you when you most need it.
I'm with you this morning.
I mean, he has no idea what we're doing right now.
It's a random guy.
Thanks, Aaron.
I got another one just randomly this morning, this guy, just this
text, encouraging me.
Who does this?
My community does this.
You do this.
You want to be in a community that does this?
It's in the Rainmaker mastermind.
We do this.
Okay.
This is a video from Eileen Wilder.
Eileen Wilder.
We had her on our show, the podcast.
If you're not already subscribed to the Rainmaker family show, Eileen's
just powerful, inspirational voice.
She talks about the story of doing it now.
I heard this story about a man named W Clement stone, who was a self-made
billionaire.
And I'm sure you guys have heard this story, but for those of you listening,
if you haven't heard this, this is insane.
He believed he made his billion dollars by saying one phrase in one phrase
only.
Right.
And you're like, okay, cool.
What's the phrase?
And it's the phrase he said every day for a hundred times a day.
He said, do it now.
Do it.
So you imagine this like, do it now.
He's like walking around his house, like a crazy person, like doing it.
He had, he like lived in a high rise apartment building in New York city.
And he made himself say it on the elevator till the floor hit floor.
Number one.
It's like in the elevator, like an insane person, like do it now, do it now,
do it now, do it now, do it now, do it now, do it now, do it now.
And he made everyone say it who worked for him.
New York City. So he had it on post-it notes and posters everywhere.
He just made him say it because he knew that the number one enemy of wealth
isn't mindset. Pregnant pause. Hear that. Like it's not mindset.
The number one enemy of wealth is not mindset. It's delay. Right. So if,
if it's, and then like Napoleon Hill says,
like successful people make decisions quickly and change their minds very
slowly.
Unsuccessful people make decisions slowly and change their mind often and
quickly. Right. And then I like to say it like this.
Procrastination is the assassination of your destination.
So if I want to develop competence and I want to develop confidence on stage,
online, with my products, with my store, with my family,
like I have to get off of my rear end and I have to do it now.
Like I, I can't wait. And so often, you know, we wait, right.
Like we're like waiting for it to be perfect. We're like, wait,
are we okay? Do I have enough? And is this like, do I have what it takes?
You know, and all that's, you know, you guys get it. You know, you,
you listening, you get it. Right. But like something happens.
That's so cool. When you start doing it now, it's like,
I don't know. How would you guys describe it? It's like,
it's like you're rewiring your mind. Cause now you're getting competent.
And you're like, what? I just did that. Are you serious? Like, you know,
like, and then this effortless confidence arises simply because you did it.
