If you were able to hear what Stephen released
to the community last week,
Stephen and Megan and Kimberly,
can you type a yes in the chat?
Because I'm just taking some data
of who knows what just happened last week.
Because, hint, we're gonna be stepping
into that topic today, okay?
So I just wanna make sure, those of you who haven't,
and we will, we'll kind of,

and we will kind of get into that a little bit.
So that's a little sneak peek
of what's coming to you today, okay?
You're gonna get the 2.0 version
of what we talked about last week in the community, okay?
So get excited about that.
And for those of you, hear me out,
for those of you who do not know what I'm talking about
when I said, if you watch the video
that Stephen released in the community last week,
then it is pinned at the top in your group in the app.
Melissa, if you could drop that link,
we also have a link in the app
to the video I'm talking about.
No need, just so you know it's there.
Well, we're gonna be kind of stepping into a 2.0 version
of what we released last week
and what Stephen talked about last week, okay?
And last but certainly not least,
next week, next Monday, in the United States of America,
we have this beautiful holiday called Memorial Day.
We are not going to be streaming this call next week.
We just ask that you spend time with family.
We're gonna be spending time with family.
We are not gonna be showing up
on Mindset Monday next Monday.
So keep that in mind.
And then we will be back business as usual
the beginning of June, okay?
So holiday for everyone next week.
Thank you, Janine.
Okay, so we will not be here next Monday.
And I just wanna say,
we are gonna be talking about change today.
I've got a quick question for you all
before I bring on our special guest.
When you think of the word, when you hear the word change,
if you could be so honest today,
and I'd love for you to type in the chat,
what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
Maybe it's a thought or a feeling.
But when I say the word change,
what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
Go ahead and drop that in the chat for us.
And just be honest.
We're not here to compare.
We're just here to support one another, right?
So we know where you guys are at right now today.
Okay, so I'm seeing the words.
When I hear the word change,
I'm seeing opportunity, scared, anxiety,
adapt and go, anxiety, excitement, growth,
excited, a little nervous, ready but stuck,
uncertainty, curious, transformation, resistance,
good discomfort, excitement and growth,
figuring it out, unsettled, uncertainty,
new expectations, excitement, okay, unknown,
exciting, growth, scared, oh no, yikes, oh boy, yay.
I like that one, Amanda.
Okay, wow, this is so cool.
We have such a, like an array.
I feel like I crossed the board.
Did you guys see that?
Like we've got, I'm excited, like let's freaking go,
growth, opportunity, and then I've got, I'm scared,
I need certainty, I'm not clear.
Well, guess what?
We can all like relate with you on that.
And that is exactly why we wanna touch on this topic today
because who knows that when you step into be building
a business, change, you guys, change is inevitable.
And here's the truth.
Change was actually inevitable before you decided
to invest in a business, before you put money and time
on the line, it actually, we deal with change every day,
you guys, and all of a sudden,
sometimes it's like exasperated,
the minute you invest in something
and you don't get what you like paid for, right?
Or you made this risk and the risk isn't panning out
with ROI, I was exasperated.
Right, this happens and and this just happened in our community last week in in a whole nother level in our internal team and and with you guys too. And so we just want to talk about that. So, um, can can we just like agree today that we're going to be vulnerable. Can we agree on that? And can we agree that our minds are going to be open to a breakthrough this morning, maybe open to hearing something new?
Can we can we just like, yes, see, see, I love you guys is such a powerful community because there's something special for you today and I don't want you to miss it. I don't want you to miss what's going on. I don't want you to miss the fact that most CEOs and communities don't let you in on times like these.
They don't let you in. But see, we work a different way in this community. We want to let you in. Not only do we want to let you in, but we want to be vulnerable with you on what's going on. Because who are we to be like, oh, do this and do that. But like, not know what's going on for on our end to how exciting is that you're literally getting an insight on what we want to do here and we want to invite you in.
So get excited. Get your mind open right now because there's some powers about to come to you. OK. And we've got a special guest. You may have heard of him. He may, you know, have showed up a time or two in this community.
And so without further ado, I just want to invite Stephen Diaz. Can we give him a warm welcome? Hey, Stephen.
Thanks, Danielle. Excited to be here with you all. And I mean, I'm already feeling a little emotional. So I am excited to cry with you today. You know, people always apologize for crying. Isn't that interesting? I'm sorry. You know, like, I'm not going to apologize.
This is one of my strengths, you know, is how I've been wired. And I think I want to start by apologizing to you guys and to you in the room, because I feel like we haven't done this this well in the past.
You know, like I think sometimes your strength overexerted can become a weakness. Right. You know, if you are. This is me like I am. I am so positive. I am so optimistic. I am so like we can do this. Let's just change mindset. You know, like all the things. Right.
And I remember I had to learn this lesson the hard way. And thank God for marriage. Thank God for entrepreneurship. Thank God for parenting, because they if you let them, they reveal the things in you that need to be revealed so you can transform into the more healthy, whole version of yourself.
And I remember it was 2022. Chelsea was pregnant. So Chelsea is currently pregnant with our third baby. And I'm doing it a lot better this time. OK, but let me tell you, in 2022, I was not doing this well because I was just so Chelsea was super sick.
You know, she was like, you know, early pregnancy on the couch just all day, just like getting hit, getting hammered with sickness and just she couldn't keep anything down, all these things. And what did what did Steven do in 2022?
I'm like, babe, like, you know, let's pray. Let's let's declare healing over you. It's you know, hey, you know, it's all in your mind. Right. I'm saying this. I'm going to make some people mad. It's all in your head. Right. Because I had seen this. OK, just to be fair. OK. In 2022. Let's see. Am I getting my babies mixed up? No, I think in 2022.
No, no, no. I am getting my babies mixed up. So on the first baby, OK, this is Kaizen. Chelsea was also very sick. OK. But we were shooting weddings. OK. And and there were days where she was incredibly ill, driving three hours to the wedding, pulling over. It was not not fun. Right. For her.
But then somehow at the wedding, you know, she would just pull it together. There might be like one or two times that she had to step aside. But like somehow she was able to just serve this client at a super high level. So I might kind of see this in her. I'm like, man, this is I don't know, like maybe we can push through this thing. And I'm just like being the exhorter, the positive, the optimist, like we can break through this thing. Babe, let's do it together. I'll contend with you and all these things. But I wasn't willing to do one thing.
You know, it felt like in that season she she felt like she was drowning in a pool and I'm on the side of the pool.
Well, babe, you got this.
Come on, you can swim.
You can do this thing.
I know you can swim.
But I wasn't willing to do one thing.
I wasn't willing to get in the pool with her, you know?
And I had a friend really challenged me in that season.
And thank God for friends that like call you up, you know?
There's friends that call you out, right?
And they make you feel shameful.
But there's friends who call you up
and they know who you are.
And they're like, hey man, like, I see this in you.
And this thing is not true to who you are.
And he called me up and he said,
hey, I want you to go look at the story
of Jesus and Lazarus.
Lazarus?
Sounds like a dinosaur.
I feel like I can never say that name right.
But if you're not familiar with this story, okay?
So in the Bible, there's like a famous story, okay?
And believe it or not, I'm gonna use it, you know,
as an analogy, because I think there's something here.
So imagine Jesus, who's like God.
He's got all the power, right?
And his buddy dies, Lazarus.
His buddy dies.
Like imagine one of your good friends passing away.
Like that hits, right?
And Jesus is going to see Lazarus
and he knows I'm gonna raise this guy from the dead.
Cause that's what Jesus does, right?
I'm gonna raise this guy up.
I know this is a crazy story,
but like I'm gonna raise this guy from the dead.
But on the way he meets his other friends, right?
So imagine your friend dies
and like you're going to meet your other friends
and it's Mary and Martha and they're just, they're a mess.
Lazarus died.
Jesus, if you were here, like he wouldn't be dead.
Like if you were here, you know,
we know you as a healer, we know who you are.
But like, if you were here, he wouldn't be here.
In the grave, three days.
I don't know how many days he's dead at this point, right?
Two, three days.
And they're just weeping, right?
And my friend was like,
Stephen, go look at this story again.
And Jesus does something really powerful in that moment.
He doesn't just go, hey babe, get off the couch.
It's all in your mind.
Like I'm gonna raise this guy from the dead, right?
Like he doesn't do that.
Now, if you look at his language, he does say,
hey, Lazarus is gonna come back.
He like starts prophesying this thing,
but then he chooses to do something
that I had to learn the hard way
that I didn't do for so many years.
Jesus chose to weep in that season.
Like in that moment, you know?
Mary and Martha are there.
They're hitting the bottom.
They're like, our friend is gone.
This is painful, you know?
And yeah, we believe these things.
Jesus, if you were here, but they're weeping.
And Jesus, you know, again, like he's God.
He could just snap his fingers right there.
It's all good, Mary, Martha, boom, right?
But he chooses to enter into the humanity of the moment
and he weeps with them and he just has a moment with them.
And then he raises him from the dead.
And that really challenged me
because I would just skip that part.
I would just, it just, I don't know.
I would, you know, I just, let's get to the end.
And I just, I would get robbed of the middle
and I'd rob others of the middle.
And so I wanted to kind of start this call
by just apologizing to you
because I don't, I feel like we've been fairly transparent,
but like, I feel like we haven't gone to this level
with you guys and I'm sorry for that.
Like if that created a culture
where everything had to be perfect all the time
or we had to just sugarcoat every little thing,
you know, like, I'm sorry.
And that has really changed in the last two years.
And, you know, this community really gets to
eat of the fruit of the change that has happened to me
in the business, in the organization.
And we have a really transparent culture organizationally,
but I never want, you know, you to,
I never want to be like,
oh, everything in my life is perfect.
You know, we're at the top of the guru mountain.
You know, you guys will never attain to our,
you know, majesty up here.
Like, this is not, I know, I know that we don't do that,
but like, I don't want to do that.
I don't want to ever be like that.
I don't ever want the coaches or success coaches
or Amazon specialists to ever feel like that.
But in the past, I feel like we have kind of created
that culture just a little bit, not intentionally,
but just like, it's the strength over exerted, right?
It's the strength of, oh, things can get better.
We're hopeful future, like we're visionaries.
We can see that it's going to turn around,
but unintentionally, it kind of has created
like a little bit of that culture.
And so this is us breaking that off.
We're just like, we're done with that.
That's not good.
Like we can, we can do things healthily.
We can share truth.
We can like share the highs and the lows
and we can do it in a healthy way.
and grow together through that.
And so you guys are kind of getting to see that.
If you're like, what are we talking about?
I'll fill you in, okay, in just a second.
But I just want to first start by saying like,
I just, I'm sorry, if we've done that in the past,
it's not a thing that is most loving to you
or to us because it robs us of the gift
of that middle season, you know,
where you're actually sharing the middle.
And I've learned to like do this so much in the season.
You know, people are always asking, how are you doing, man?
How's the business going?
You know, like you're at church or wherever.
And it's just like the question.
And I'm just no longer like, hey, it's going great, man.
Like, yeah, God is good.
Like, I just don't do that religious BS, okay?
I just, I'm just learning to just keep it real.
And I remember, yeah, I won't tell that story.
But if you miss the State of the Union,
okay, so what's going on in our business?
We're having a hard time
in the Rainmaker business right now.
Now the business, I don't believe is going away.
And so don't get freaked out, okay?
Some people saw the State of the Union
and I'm so thankful for this community.
I mean, like people were in the chat, supportive.
People want to like volunteer and all this craziness.
Like, wow, you guys are incredible.
But also some people, it kind of poked something in them too
and they really didn't like it, you know?
And so I just want to assure you,
our plan is not to go away.
Our plan is not to serve you less than what we promised.
Our plan is to continue loving you and deliver this service.
And even if that's at the cost of all of what we've built
and everyone here in the room.
So just so you know, if you missed the State of the Union,
we had, you know, probably six months
of kind of lower than lower revenue as a business.
And because again, that optimist in me,
it's going to turn around, we're going to break through.
It's a strength, but overexerted, it can become a weakness.
We kept a large team through those seasons
of kind of lower months.
And it really just drained the business of all reserves.
And so we're at the point where there's nothing, okay?
So there's nothing in the business.
And again, I say this laughing
and I'm going to talk about this.
I want to talk about what does financial freedom really mean
because for most people, they'd be freaking out,
anxiety attacks, and I'm just like, ha ha, ha ha ha.
Like, I know it sounds weird,
but like, I'm going to help you get there.
Cause if you're seeing your finances right now,
you're seeing the bank account right now
and it's causing sleepless nights,
as if it's causing unrest in your spirit,
if it's causing anxiety attacks,
wouldn't it be cool to get to a place
where you have total peace, you know?
And I'm going to tell you how to get there, okay?
I'm going to share some of my journey of getting there,
but I'll tell you, like, it's not always fun.
It's not always super fun.
A lot of people want the thing
without going through the thing
that really helps them keep the thing, okay?
A lot of people want the fruit
without nurturing the root system
that holds the weight of the fruit.
And we've seen people get the fruit of rainmakers,
get the fruit of starting a business,
get the fruit of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And literally they did not nurture the root system.
They did not build the authority.
They did not build the strength to hold that thing.
And within one to two years, it was completely gone.
And so this is why we're having real talk
around this topic, because I believe this is
an invitation into true financial freedom
for this community.
So yeah, watch the State of the Union,
because I'm not going to go as much into it,
but we're just being real.
We're in a hard place as a business.
I told people on the team, hey guys, there's no more money.
We've been basically personally funding this.
You know, we have some reserves built up over the years.
We've drained all those personal reserves
to continue this thing going.
And it's going to keep going,
but I was like, if it's going to keep going,
we got to make an extreme move.
We're out of money.
Today's your last paycheck.
Feel free to quit.
Okay.
Like I said it a lot nicer than that.
I'm giving you guys like this, the highlight reel.
Okay.
And everyone had about a week to decide, you know,
and then we had about 25 people leave the company.
We love them.
There's nothing wrong with them.
No shame there at all.
Like I told them like, you should quit.
There is no reason that you should stay.
Like, here's all the reasons you shouldn't stay.
And I was like, you know me, I could sell.
Oh, it's going to turn around and all the things.
But I like just took that hat off completely.
And I was just like, if you cannot go three, six,
nine months with no pay.
And then like, and I'm not, I don't think,
I don't believe this,
but I had to quit.
I had to do this, to be most loving to those people,
I had to say this.
I was like, if you couldn't go three, six, nine months
with no pay, and then the business goes bankrupt
and it's gone, then don't go forward with us, right?
That's the type of hat I had to wear.
And again, I don't believe that,
but for me to be most loving to those people,
because I know if they just jumped in
because I sold them in, it's gonna be good.
One month from now, we're gonna be fine.
Two weeks to flatten the curve, right?
And then it goes longer than that.
What happens, right?
Like a lot of bitterness, a lot of, oh man,
like, I just didn't want that.
And I wanted the people going forward with us to be like,
we're ready to live for this thing
and we're willing to die for this thing.
And you guys, like, this is like last Monday.
We had 44, we had 44 people on our team
decide to go forward and continue supporting
the mission we have here.
Just love you guys, support you guys,
44 people with basically essentially no pay.
And so everyone here is in the room, me included,
like we're volunteering,
but also like we have made commitments to you
and like, we're gonna honor those commitments, you know?
And so just, I want you to know that,
don't get freaked out and skittish,
like because we're going through
just a little bit of a squeeze, okay?
We're here for you guys.
And this is not to like put us on some pedestal,
like, oh, you guys are so holy, you know?
Like, this is not what we're doing.
We are just like, I'm being real with you guys.
We are figuring this out.
And this is like the, this is a really extreme move,
but it's the only kind of way we're like,
this is the only way we feel like we can
right the ship really, really quickly.
And sometimes in your business, entrepreneurship,
life, relationships, parenting,
you have to make an extreme move to right the ship, right?
You have to make an extreme move to right the ship.
And this is just one of those seasons.
And we don't want to just hide this from you.
I'm like, this will be a cool story
when we get through it someday, you know?
But it would rob you of the miracle, right?
And honestly, just sharing it with the community,
like there was already just miracles.
I mean, like your responses in the comments
were just incredible.
Like people were just stepping up, rising up.
Like this is, it's going to be an incredible season
at Rainmakers.
And I think it's going to be incredible
because we're not hiding.
We're not hiding it.
And we're going to go through it with you.
We'll keep you updated.
So that's where we're at.
I'm going to shift gears
because we got all our success coach team on right now.
And I want to just pull on some gold out of them
because like in this, like,
I do think that there's a bigger picture happening,
not just for us as a company and the team,
not just for us, not just for me and Chelsea,
but for the company, that's the team.
And then also the community.
I think there's an invitation here into something
because what this does is it poked to something
in everyone that needed to be poked, right?
Like, you know, like, you know,
you think you're doing good in life on something
and then you get poked somewhere and you're like,
oh man, like how I reacted or how something came out there.
It just like revealed something.
Well, there was something that needed to be worked on there.
And you know, if we're going to talk about financial freedom,
we're going to talk about abundance, right?
What better way to grow in our authority in that topic
is if we actually walk through it, right?
You can talk about, I love this analogy.
You could talk about electricity all day, right?
You can chat GBT, you can know about electricity.
You could tell me how like electricity works, you know,
but I'll tell you as a third grader,
when I went to Mrs. Wendt's farm
and I touched the electric fence and I decided to grab it,
I learned so much more about electricity
in that one moment, you know what I mean?
Than any book could have told me, right?
I learned a lot.
And so there's nothing like touching the live wire
of whatever that thing is you're trying to grow in.
And like, we literally just invite our entire team
into this and they didn't have to, right?
Their option was, hey, go get another job.
But we invited the entire team into like,
you want to touch the live wire?
You want to see supernatural provision happen in your life?
You want to see, you know, again,
I didn't sell it like this on the front end,
but on the back end, once people chose it,
I'm like, guys, we're on a journey now.
And you get to know how money really works, okay?
Now this is where we're gonna go a little,
we're gonna go a little woo-woo on you guys, okay?
And, but I do believe if you're going to master money,
you have to go through this.
And, you know, a lot of you know our story, me and Chelsea.
This started when we had, you know,
just a few thousand dollars in the bank.
We had a really low season.
We were in the wedding business and it was winter.
And like, you just can feel the weight of the finances.
Anyone like?
in that season where you're just like, Oh man, you're just looking at the bank account. You're
like, is there going to be enough? And you're just, you're worrying about it. And you can just
feel kind of the stress building up on your shoulders. And me and Chelsea, like in that
season, we just honestly started to act like, I call it orphans. Okay. No, no offense to the
orphans, but you know, like I heard the story once of, you know, this guy, they'd literally
go to Africa and they like rescue orphans. Okay. They'd rescue orphans out of, out of just the
streets and they'd bring them into the house, these houses where they had abundance. Okay.
They had meals to eat. They had a room, literally a room full of t-shirts and clothes. Right. And
these, the orphans would come in and they'd, they'd, you know, come to the dinner table
and they would eat until they like threw up. They would eat until they threw up.
Like there was so much food. There was more than enough, but they didn't like, they're used to
like, when I eat, I eat as much as I can because I have no idea when my next meal will be. I eat as
much as I can, but there was abundance now. And so they would eat until they got sick and they'd
throw up. And then they would go, they would go to the room with the clothes and they would steal.
They would steal clothes. And the guy's like, Hey, all the clothes are free. Like you can just,
you can go get clothes anytime you want. But they would like, just like kind of like steal and try
to hide. And like, like they just, and it would be like months of this, them eating and just throwing
up and like just eating to like, like they burst and then like hiding clothes. It would be like
months before they kind of were like, I can, this is, this is my new reality. I can rest here.
There's actually more than enough for me here. I can like leave some food on my plate even.
Right. Like I can, I can not worry about, you know, the clothes like, like they got to this place.
That's freedom. But when you come from like a mindset of just kind of orphan, which is like,
I'm not going to be provided for there's, there's, there's not going to be enough scarcity. It's
really easy to just try to grab at stuff and like, just, ah, and then you just, you kind of like you
strive and you work yourself into a, into the hustle. And it's just like, it just, it robs you
of your peace. And so I share this story because me and Chelsea in that season, we had, you know,
not a lot of money in the bank and we were feeling that way or feeling like just kind of running
around trying to like email people, trying to get jobs, you know, trying to bring some money in.
And we recognized we were being this orphan, but me and Chelsea believe we are not orphans.
Like we have a heavenly father who takes care of us, you know? And I know there's a lot of
different beliefs in the room, but you've probably seen this in your life that there's always enough
money somehow, even in the times when it felt like it was not, you were not going to make it
like there was some sort of provision there that came out of nowhere. And if you haven't experienced
that, I'm going to invite you on that journey because there is a provider that's outside of
ourselves. And I'm not just saying don't do anything. Like just sit on the couch. Money comes
to me, money flows through me and just do all your declarations. That's not how it works. But I do
believe God is looking for partners and he's looking for people that are like, can be good
stewards, trustworthy. But I also believe he takes care of his children. Okay. And I can tell you
story after story, but me and Chelsea, like in that season, we were like, man, we don't, we want
to be generous people. We want to be people that know that there's always enough. And like, we
weren't acting like it and our beliefs and our actions were not lining up. And so in that season,
we went to the ATM, we pulled out the money that we had remaining. It was like $3,000 and we gave
it away. I'm not saying you guys should do this, but it was like, it was just that moment of like
choosing to go. I'm going to be over money, not money over me. Right. It's just, it's a difference.
I'm going to have authority over money. I'm going to tell money what to do.
Money will work for me. Money will be a tool in my hands for good in the world. Not let me check
money before I do this thing. Let me ask money for permission before I am generous. Right. Let me,
let me, yeah. And I'm not saying just be frivolous, but I'm saying in that moment, it was a small
amount of money. This started our financial freedom journey. And, and God honestly took me on
a journey with this. And if you want to go on this journey, you probably are already on this journey,
but like God is a good dad who will like literally show up for you. And so if you want to go on this
journey with him, be like, I want to learn this. I'm telling you, it can be scary when you go on
that journey. Okay. It can be scary, but when you start to learn this and you learn at higher levels,
like you can, you, you can step into this financial peace
that is beyond understanding. It doesn't make sense on paper.
paper. And it's a gift. And that's why I want to bring this
to you guys. I don't want to like I don't want sugarcoat
this. Like I'm not changing my language just to try to defend
somebody in the room here. I'm telling you like, like, what
you're seeing with the business is just like the next level of
faith for us. You know, and we've had this, you know, in
different seasons of the business where we've had to kind
of go, hey, all right, I just I remember, this is a reminder,
I'm not the provider here. This is Yes, I have skill sets. Yes.
I've studied Yes, I've gotten mentorships. But like, at the
end of the day, Rainmakers is here. It's a miracle. It's
supernatural. Like it's not the Steven show. It's not the
Chelsea show. It's not like, oh, we're so smart. And that's the
reason we're here. Right? Honestly, like, it's a miracle.
We're here. And you have these seasons where I kind of like I
believe, God invites you into like releasing the thing and
getting going like, all right, this is yours. You know, like,
this is not of my power. And it's funny, we've been seeing
the number 444 a lot lately. Anyone seen 40, 44's a lot?
444's? Okay, so like, there's this verse that's basically
talking about these, these guys who are going against an army,
right? And in this verse, they're like, we're gonna put
down our swords, we're gonna put down our bows, we're not gonna
put any trust in those things, the swords and the bows, the
traditional things you would think would destroy this enemy.
And we're gonna let God fight. You know, and I don't know if
you notice on we did the rain games, my number was 44. I don't
know if you noticed the number of people that stayed in the
company, 44. I don't know if you noticed when we went live in the
group on whatever did the State of the Union, 44 people watching
live. This is the season right now. Like it's about just laying
down the stuff. Right? And just going like, yeah, I know. I know
like, this is your strength. This is the thing you've been
relying on. This is the thing that's like, you know, it makes
no sense to bring your sword and your bow. Like, these guys were
skilled arch archery guys, archmen, what do you call them?
Archers? Archers. That's it. They were really skilled. They're
really skilled the sword and God's like, put them down. Watch
me work. And literally that's what we're doing kind of with
our, with our business right now. And we've done this in
different seasons, but like, it feels really extreme looking on
the outside and just like you're on chapter 10, you know, like,
but we've done chapter one, two, three, four with this. And this
is like a really extreme move, but like, we're just literally
like, lay it down, you know, and watch the miracle that's about
to happen. And so I don't believe Rainmakers is going away
because Rainmakers is not me and Chelsea. Rainmakers is the
people that say Rainmakers is the supernatural like provision
that's beyond us. And so I just want to open up a conversation
around financial freedom. I wanted to talk to some success
coaches, also open up the conversation in the room. And
what time is it? 940. I was planning not to talk the entire
time. That was my goal. But I just, I want to tell you guys
the gift of this season. I'm just going to end with this and
I'll open it up. This season has been so intense at such a
higher level. You know, like you build faith, right? You remember
that first product order you ever did? It was like your faith
was that level, right? And it's like, Oh my gosh, I remember my
first product was $500. Like, it was a very cheap product was a
dollar about 500 units and then like $200 shipping, right? Then
my next was 2000. My next was 6000. And each one of them felt
terribly scary and like terrifying. But then you kind of
build faith for that level, right? And so I've built my
faith to a certain level. And then God asked us to move, right?
He asked us to move to San Diego, move to a place where
there's a lot higher living expenses. We have a massive
team, you know, the business like Rainmakers, you know, in
the past, like, I don't know, let's call it last six months
average, it costs about $675,000 a month to run. So like just to
support the team, and the technology, and like everything
is about $675,000. And I know that's like a mind blowing
number. But like I've got that I took faith levels, okay? Faith
levels, faith levels, faith levels. And I've seen, like over
the last I mean, just year, like, probably, like, I used to
just freak out about the money. Like I would just I would just,
you know, because I was hitting my resistance level. I built it
up to here, but I wasn't there. And literally, it'd be like
every, you know, every month, it'd be like, how is there going
to be the money for this thing? How is there going to be the
money? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And I used
to check the bank account, check the stripe and check the thing.
And I just would like work myself up. But time and time
again, I saw it come through.
I saw it come through, I saw it come through,
I saw it come through.
And we're very much in the season
where like the facts don't line up, right?
The facts is like, I don't know.
Like I was just on a finance meeting right before this.
They're like, all right,
we need this much money by four days from now.
I'm like, logically, I have no idea, right?
I have no idea how that money is gonna come in,
but somehow it does.
And so when I hear that, I don't get stressed anymore.
I am like, it's gonna be okay.
I'm at peace.
And this is the gift of the squeeze season.
Right now, there's a lot of people
going through squeeze seasons
and you can get it or you can miss it.
If you get it, you don't have to go through it again
at this level.
If you miss it, God is so good
that you'll go through it again at this level
because he wants you to get it.
And I'm telling you, the juice is worth the squeeze
in this season because I have gotten to this place
of such peace and just freedom around money
that I am fearless.
And I believe I'm getting set up for something
because God's looking for people that he's like,
man, I need someone who's not gonna freak out
when things get crazy.
And I've gotten there.
I'm not telling you I'm always there,
but I would say 95% of the time, I'm there.
I give myself at least one or two days
total freak out a month, okay?
I don't budget it in, but literally on Friday,
I was trying to drive to a mentor's house
and I was like getting hit.
Like I was just all the thoughts
and I was on a call like this listening
and I was just mad and I was sad
and everyone else is just like, yeah,
like to saying all the minds and stuff
and I was just pissed.
I was just like, no.
And you know, you just get in those seasons.
Like you just gotta have like a pity party,
a little pout time, like it's okay.
And I'm just being real with you guys.
I had that like literally last Friday.
I was feeling tired.
Like I couldn't even, like I was gonna pull over.
I had to drive an hour and a half
to get to this guy's house.
I like pulled over.
I was like, I'm gonna take a nap and go home, you know?
And I had a, I texted, like this is a strategy.
Okay, when you're feeling that,
reach out to someone, okay?
Reach out to a success coach,
reach out to someone in the room
because I just knew like, I'm feeling this way.
I know what I'm feeling this resistance.
Like it's not like, it's not to be trusted.
And so I texted a friend and he's like,
keep going, get in community.
Like the enemy, like we, you know,
we say the enemy, right?
There's a thing trying to hold you back,
like is trying to isolate you.
And I was like, keep going.
And I kept driving, I got a coffee.
I did lay down for like five minutes in the car,
like just like, you know, randomly.
And then I got a coffee, I kept going.
As soon as I got to this guy's house,
I was like, it broke off of me, you know?
And I was in community.
I was able to laugh again.
I was able to, you know,
come in the opposite sphere to that thing,
which is trying to hold me down and just broke off.
But you gotta like,
you gotta be willing to shine light on it.
So I brought someone else into it, shine light on it.
It made it less powerful in my life.
I got out of isolation.
I got a new community and I kept going.
As I'm just being real with you guys,
financial freedom takes time.
And if you want it,
you have to be willing to hit the resistance.
I'll tell one last story.
We went to, my parents gifted me a game to the Padres.
I'm not like a baseball fan,
but I like that the SD, Steven Diaz,
like it's just on brand, you know?
And so I've been buying all their stuff
and people think I like baseball.
And so my parents bought me a baseball ticket,
super fun, like with the kids, like boys,
go to a baseball game, got snacks,
but they got the cheap seats,
which are incredibly high up in the air.
Like so high.
Has anyone been to like a baseball game, football game,
and you've been like up in those like nosebleeds?
Oh my goodness.
So we get up there and we're going like up
the super steep like stairs.
And you're like, do these seats have seatbelts?
And like, it feels like you're going to fall off
like into the, like, I know that's not possible,
but you just feel like I am so high.
And that is so far down that like,
you just feel this like vertigo and intensity.
And my mom like was like really getting hit.
Like she was like holding on to stuff.
And I was like telling her,
cause I had done this once before.
I'm like, oh, it gets better.
Like, it feels like this at first,
but like you get used to it, you know?
And sure enough, you know,
we're watching the game and all that stuff.
And by the end, like, she's totally fine.
I'm totally fine.
Everyone's totally fine.
And it's the same way with financial pressure
with the squeeze seasons in your life.
You have to sit with it.
You have to be there for a while.
If you just have a moment of it,
and then the provision comes,
you don't get the juice out of the squeeze.
But if you're there for a season,
mindsets take time to renew.
And when you see it happen over and over and over again,
somehow you made it through and somehow you overcome
and somehow the provision was there.
And somehow the check came
and it was the exact dollar amount
that you needed for the thing.
And you're like, there's no way this could have happened
if it wasn't for a miracle.
And you see that over and over and over again.
And that's where you start to build a foundation,
a foundation of faith.
That's like, I can stand on this no matter what,
but it takes time.
And so if you're in the bleachers,
holding onto the stuff and you're feeling that right now,
just give it some time.
I'm telling you from like being in this for months
at a level that's been stretching to me,
like it's worth it.
It's so worth it because there's a gift in it
if you allow it to be.
And so that's the conversation I want to open up.
Dang, I like took most of the time, Danielle.
I mean, when you just get going from your heart, you know.
I want to talk to Danielle first
because we had a conversation about this
because literally, you know,
we told the team this like two, three weeks ago.
I don't know, was it two weeks ago now?
Three.
Three, okay.
It feels like a year, but we told this
and it's like, hey guys, you have two choices.
Neither are great, right?
Stay and don't get paid or leave and don't get paid.
And so this literally was about money,
but not about money, you know?
And the people here, the ones that stayed,
but I know Danielle, you really,
you were wrestling, right?
Like you're wrestling.
And I know a lot of people were wrestling
and we were able to be in person that week
and we had some conversation around it.
Talk about the wrestle a little bit
because I think that's where you were,
I don't know, like for some reason I was like,
oh, Danielle, excuse me, all in, no big deal.
But Danielle went through the wrestle, you guys.
And I was so proud of her for how she wrestled,
you know, because some people wrestle in a way
that's I don't think super healthy.
But Danielle did it in a way
that was like totally real transparent.
She's like, I'm mad, you know?
And she like, but she would just bring it into the light
and we talk about it, have a conversation.
So Danielle, talk about the wrestle.
People in the wrestle, like what did you learn
in that week really of wrestling?
And I know it's not, you know,
I'm not saying these guys all have it figured out
and we're all perfect, but you know,
there was definitely a week of intense wrestle there.
I want to hear you talk about it.
Well, I'm even like nervous right now
because it's still going on.
And you guys, I, okay.
So I was not an immediate yes.
I almost wished I could have said no.
I was ready to go initially
because I am waiting for my six figures plus
that I'm been working towards for a year,
for six months, for a month.
I'm ready to see those numbers.
And I'll just be honest, three weeks ago,
Danielle thought financial freedom was a number.
And I think some of you think that right now.
Oh, once I hit this number, I'll be free.
Once I, my Airbnb business, my speaking business,
my success here, then I will be financially free.
And it's, I actually told Steven,
it's such a gift that he gave us this choice
because first of all, most CEOs would have said bye-bye
and would have not even like given us so much power.
I felt very empowered to make my own choice
and also extremely pissed off
because I don't want to make this choice.
I want things to be just like they were, only better.
And I've come to realize in such a short amount of time
because we heard this news on that Monday
and then I was back to back
and then got on a flight Tuesday morning
to go be face-to-face with all of these people
and not get paid for it.
Oh man.
Like I was pissed.
Yeah.
But I was jealous too of those who had a quick yes
and a quick no, whereas I had neither.
But then I began to wrestle.
And I believe I was at, this is what God gave me.
I began to count a cost
because see, there's a cost to every decision that I make.
And I think I, you guys know me enough probably
to know I lean more positive.
I lean more like, give me the, like Steven,
y'all know, give me the breakthrough now
but like, don't make it too hard, please.
And so I was just kind of asked,
I had to ask myself,
am I gonna partner with Abundance right now
or Scarcity Thinking?
Because I don't know.
I was raised, I'm gonna be so honest here,
I was raised middle class, financially,
white middle class, Ohio, but I would steal
and I would hoard food.
And God has finally freed me of this
because I was so scared.
For my bank account to be zero,
because that meant I'm not gonna be okay,
there's not enough.
And three weeks ago, I would have said
that if I had 10, 20, 30 grand in the bank, I'm good.
And if I had zero, I'm bad.
And I've just been freed of that.
So a gift that I was not expecting in this kind of wrestle
and one that I thought that I had already been freed of.
A week ago, I said something I've never said before to God.
I do believe in God, Jesus.
I do believe I have more than enough,
but my belief was being tested.
And this is what I said to God.
I said, I'll give it all away.
Every cent that I have under my quote unquote name,
I'll give away.
And I've never been willing to say that.
And I always thought people who did were freaking crazy.
I'm like, yeah, God says in the word,
give everything away, but that's not for me.
That's like for you.
And so I got to realize the idol I had in money
and I actually wasn't free.
And Jeff and Steven, it was actually perfect timing
because I got to see them in person.
We don't see each other a lot.
And they actually got to help me realize,
cause I'm a transitional character in my generation.
I know a lot of you guys are,
we're building a new generation from what we came from.
And it was just time for money
to no longer have a hold on my generation.
Cause see, I'm over here thinking I'm saving,
I'm investing, I'm good.
I'm doing the good thing that was passed down to me.
And again, nothing wrong with that.
But if it's from a place of, I'm either scared,
if scarcity, I'm scared or like abundance,
I'm going to be okay.
That's the true problem here.
And that's what I want to see a lot of people free in.
And guess what?
It's painful.
Guess what?
It doesn't feel good.
But it also can be a path to true, true, true freedom
because building a business takes this.
And so the last thing I want to say is
I had some shame in like sharing this decision with people.
Cause I'm like, who works for free?
Like I already work for free.
First of all, I volunteer like 15 to 20 hours
of my week already.
Like I ain't about to volunteer more.
Like that was my first initial thought.
And now I'm just like, what I've been given to say yes
to this has been beyond anything I could have asked,
thought or imagined.
And that is what God does.
If I'm willing, if I'm willing,
I need to be willing and it hurts.
And so guess what?
Money's not going to have a hold on my generation anymore.
And if that means I've got zero in the bank,
listen, I got zero in the bank.
That doesn't mean anything about me or my God.
That's the difference.
That doesn't mean anything about me.
Shane can go because Jesus wants to free me
and he wants to free us.
And I now believe, now I understand in his word
where he's talking about, you know, investing.
It's about stewardship.
You know, saving is about stewardship.
And Melissa can talk about this too.
It's not about, oh my gosh,
I got to make sure I have enough or I'm going to fall.
Like, no, I'm not partnering with that anymore.
I never was that, but I was taught that.
And so I'm here as a yes with the Lord.
First, I decided to follow what he had for me.
Cause he said, you can go and make six figures
right off the rip if you'd like.
Like there's freedom for you to choose that.
But I think that there's something even better
for you to stay.
And I said, aye, aye, aye.
And so literally, this is what I'll end on
cause this was so powerful.
I met with Jeff who also works with us
and in person last week.
And he was like, see, it gets me in my feels
because it's so raw y'all, this is so raw.
Cause it's deeper than being here for free.
It's so much deeper than that for all of us.
We all have our story.
And he was like, we were sitting at Starbucks
and he looks at me and he says,
Danielle, one day in the future,
when you are a mom,
and you're gonna be asked to do this huge speaking gig,
it's gonna be the biggest one yet.
You're gonna make the most money
and the most impact in your gifts.
And it's gonna fall on the same day
that your daughter needs you.
And you're gonna be able to look your daughter in the eyes
and say, I will stay.
That is the type of woman I wanna be today without my kids.
So that money, success, fame,
do not have a hold on my heart, but God does.
God is the one who's number one in my heart.
And he is gonna free me up
to make those kinds of decisions in life.
And I'm like, wow, that's who I wanna be.
And I didn't realize how painful it would be,
but how much fruit will actually come
from making decisions like this.
Thank you guys for just being so awesome.
I was scared for Steven to share this
and just to see you guys be here
is also like chain, just giving me so much.
Yeah, just so much love.
Like I don't want sympathy or empathy
cause look, this was a choice I made and I'm in it.
And we're all gonna have choices that we get to make.
And I want us to see us coming around one another
to be like, yeah, I see you making that.
I see you counting the cost and making the choice.
I see you doing that.
And I'm right there with you.
So that's what I want to say.
Anybody else wanna?
That's so good.
What a gift, Danielle.
Thank you for sharing and yeah.
This is, I think the missing piece
this community has needed, you know?
And like I said, we've gotten better
at this over the years
but I don't think we've always been great at it.
And you have my commitment to lead this way, you know?
And to our team, give them permission to lead this way.
Cause it's weird when you get put on a stage, you know?
And hey, now you're a success coach, Janine, you know?
Make sure you're successful.
Like it's just a weird place.
And then we put these people on pedestals, you know?
And then if you put someone in a God position in your life
and then they just mess up or something like it can,
now this person's a fraud, you know?
This whole thing's a scam, like F this, right?
And we've seen that this week, you know?
Some people saw my state of the union
and responded positively.
Some people did not respond that way.
And I'm okay with it.
Like either way, like I'm just gonna be real with you guys.
Danielle is gonna be real with you guys
and permission given to all success coaches.
Like you don't need to be, you know,
the picture of success, you know?
Success is not having it all perfect, you know?
Success is in the dump, covered in dung,
being able to laugh and have joy.
And like success is like in the most intense season
of our lives, me and Chelsea's marriage
is the strongest it's ever been.
We're connecting in all the ways
more than ever in this season.
Our boys, we're having more fun than ever in this season.
Like intentionally, we're just like,
we have to just like every weekend,
we gotta go do something like crazy fun
because like we're coming in this opposite spirit
of like intensity, you know what I mean?
Like that's success.
Success is me not hiding this from our boys
and just going, hey guys, everything's fine, you know?
And then not them not learning the lesson
and then not being able to steward wealth
when they get older, because they just think,
oh, it's supposed to be perfect all the time, you know?
And so I think we just gotta redefine this whole thing.
Financial freedom, success, of course,
that doesn't really sell super well on the front end.
Hey guys, join this program and go through hell, you know?
But it's gonna be great on the other side, right?
And again, that's not the intention,
but I'm just telling you, entrepreneurship, marriage,
like parenting, like all these things are hard,
but they're so worth it, right?
Like the juice is worth the squeeze if you let it.
be. And so this has been a super powerful conversation. I want to make space, we are
a little over time, but I told, I usually meet with the leadership team at this time,
I told him, Hey, I'm staying here for a little bit. Maybe 1520 minutes more, but any of the
other like coaches want to want to say something, anyone from the room want to say something?
Honestly, I just wanted to open up a conversation around this. And this is an ongoing thing.
You know, it's not like Danielle's got it perfectly dialed now, or I've got it perfectly
dialed now. But I think your, your posture in situations like this, affect your really
affect your outcome, you know, and we're choosing vulnerability, humility, transparency, you
know, and hope, you know, we're not losing that hope piece. In the midst of the reality,
the facts and all the things, we're not losing that. But we're also not sugarcoating and
just trying to jump to it. I know, because that robbed us of the middle, which is where
all the juices. So I see Jennifer's got a handout, see Sarah's got a handout. I'd love
to hear from you guys. How's this resonating with you? Anything that's coming up as we're
talking about this? I see Gerald raised your physical hand too. I see. I saw that. I don't
know how to I don't think I can raise your zoom hand, but we'll remember you Gerald.
So so Jennifer, how's this? How's this landing with you?
I just wanted to say that I would have given up my college degree for this program. So
I believe that you've given us all the tools. So like what we do with them, where does it
sit? Like one of my thoughts was, oh, no, is rainfall gonna go away? But I mean, I,
I'm 100% honest, I kind of saw this coming a little bit. But it's because I like to give
the best analogy is like, I didn't listen to everything you guys taught us. Okay. And
I kind of went with my own thing. And that was a big no, no, per se, I learned a lot,
I spent a lot of money. But at the same time, I'm not mad about that. Like this is my life
used to be so boring. So you know, the the process, and I don't know, I just think that
we do have all the tools and where we put, you know, our energies, I'm not gonna be one
of those, I never have to jump on this hate train about things. I didn't even read any
of the comments or whatever's going on. But like, I don't know. I'm glad you shared that
with us. But I still continue like, my when I saw the program on Instagram or whatever
and jumped in, you know, for that, jump into everything like that changed my my life. And
honestly, like, when you're struggling, I think you do have more fun. So I'm on my way
out the door actually, with my product to be able to demo at a retail store. So I'm
looking to figure out how to upload, right. But because I did make some decisions where
I wasn't listening to you guys. And should have done things a little bit differently.
And I will, you know, do things a little bit differently before. But I just want to say
I think you're right, the juice is worth the squeeze.
Thank you for sharing, Jennifer. Yep. Sarah, I'm gonna hear from you.
I have been in the Rainmaker for a year almost now. And I can say this is the absolute best
decision I ever had, even if my business right now have crashed and burned. So I am in my
squeeze position right now. But I have learned so much about money mindset, everything. So
I am so grateful for this community. And I will stand by you through all of this and
I will help in any way I can because the Rainmakers they came around me when my business burned
and I have gotten so much support from coaches and the head office and everything in my journey.
So I am forever grateful for everything that is Rainmaker. I love this community.
Thank you for the, thank you for the sweet words, Sarah.
We love having you in the community.
And then we had, uh, I saw your comment, but then I didn't catch your name.
So Gerald's your husband, I think, but Gerald's iPhone number two, you're right.
My name is Diana.
Um, yeah, so I've been in Rainmakers since January of 2023.
Um, I haven't launched yet, but just to start, like just to the divine timing of everything.
This was this opportunity falling into my lap was an answered prayer, 100%.
I don't know if Melissa, um, Melissa, you were my first coach in my first eight weeks.
And I remember being like, hit the ground running.
I'm like, Oh, I'm going to do this.
I'm going to knock out my first product.
It's going to be great.
And then I, we found out we were expecting our fourth child who is a complete surprise.
Um, she's now one and a half and she's napping.
Um, but I was like, wait, I was like, I don't get paid.
I'm going to take maternity leave for my jobs.
We're about to have our fourth kid.
Um, and then we had a big unexpected financial thing just hit us that year and hold on.
And it was just, I kept like staying on some of the calls, but then I did have to step
back later in the year.
And you know, we got into like the rut of just like four little kids, you know, I don't,
I work part time.
I have a couple of part-time jobs and in the past year, I'm sorry, my daughter is just
going to be in on this.
But we got into a season where we were just, I kind of like was like letting this fall
to the wayside.
And then, um, my husband was like, you know, we, we invested in this, like, is this something
you still want to do?
And I was like, yeah, like my trademark was still pending, like all of these things.
And then the beginning of this year, I'm like, no, like we're making moves because you know,
we've prayed into this, like God put this in front of us, but like, I've learned through
this process, like just because you have faith, like you're going to struggle with
certain feelings, but like, we aren't to trust our hearts at the same time.
Like, I mean, I had an unpaid leave for maternity leave.
We barely had money for bills and super, super naturally right before we had our fourth daughter,
that money came through and like, in ways I can't even express to you guys.
So like this opportunity in this family, Steven, your transparency and your honesty goes so
much further than you realize.
And like keeping these people in this community, because just honesty is such a value.
That is such a trait that people don't value enough.
And just that transparency.
I just want you to know, like I followed you guys for a while and like, I really appreciate
it.
Um, I'm so excited to see where this goes this year.
I'm working, um, through my DFY product who, um, the product that I had, the numbers kind
of fell not to where they were super beneficial.
And Wesley was amazing where he honored it and sent me over a new product.
And I'm even more excited than I was before.
Um, I literally, I drive a school bus and I'll be driving and I'm just like thinking
of things in my head about this.
And it just gets me so excited.
And I haven't had that in over a year, um, just because life, but you know, God's gonna
with all of us, like put your faith into it.
It's super natural.
The scarcity mindset go abundance is coming and I can't wait to hear everyone's testimony
on the other side.
Love it.
Let's hear from you.
Hey, Steven.
Hi, Danielle.
You guys are really, uh, a lot today, like so many emotions going on.
Um, but I just want to say I've been here.
I started in February and I've already got a sample of my product.
Um, and I just want to say I've, I joined like every single call, um, maybe except Fridays,
but they're all, even if I'm not really in that phase at the moment, I can always learn
something.
Um, or, you know, if someone has a question, maybe I could answer it or help with that.
But, um, and I'm just getting into phase two and whatnot, but with your program with
Rainmakers, it's been a big shift just mentally for me.
It very encouraging.
Um, I really do like the positivity.
Um, I was not raised with positive mindset, especially around money.
Um, but talking about money, going through the finances and looking at the numbers, that's
not something I was ever encouraged, uh, growing up either.
So I've just learned so much and now I, I'm, I've, I'm an artist and I have so much art
and I love making art.
And this has.
encouraged me to finally publish some coloring books. I've been
making journals for KDP. And, and now I'm starting to write a
novel. So it's got me exploring all these different things that
are within me that I didn't think I could really explore
before. So I really appreciate you guys for that. You know, you
kind of think, Oh, I can't do that. Or I'm not going to be
able to do that right now. But with you guys, everyone is so
encouraging the coaches, the you know, just the members too. So I
really, I really appreciate it. And, and I really am not worried
at all, actually, for Rainmakers. I think it's going
to be great. And I see what you guys have and how earnest you
are. And it's really a wonderful thing to see. So I really don't
think it's going anywhere. I have no worry at all. I know you
guys have a lot of the back end stuff going on, but I know
you'll figure it out. So thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, everyone for the just super kind words.
And we believe it. You know, this is this is what this is
what we carry, right? The how can I, you know, but also, like
the, hey, there's got to be faith in this, you know, and I
know, we've we've talked about God a lot on this call. And you
know, this isn't like, Oh, you got to be a Christian to be in
this program. But this is just, you know, when you get squeezed,
what's inside of you comes out. So that's you're seeing a little
more of that right now. Because that's what's inside of me, you
know, and inside of Danielle and a lot of our team, you know, and
so I would I just want to take a pause and just like if you have
not developed a relationship with the provider, okay. Even
if the word God rubs you the wrong way, because I know
there's a lot of just junk out there. Like there's a lot of
people that have not represented God in a great way. I'd
encourage you just sometime today, just ask to like, like
teach me this thing. Teach me even if it's just about the
provision, because there's a lot about God. That's a that's
amazing, right? But just the provider thing. Okay, just be
like, Hey, take me on a journey. Because I can tell you story
after story, just like crazy stuff. It's just like
undeniable. There is something even if you don't believe in
God, like there's something outside of me, that is like,
hearing and listening and providing and like the right
money at the right time, like exactly when you needed it. And
it when you learn that when you when you develop a
relationship, you can lean on it, right? And you don't have
to just be going through this whole entrepreneurship or life
journey alone. You can lean on that thing, not as a crutch, but
as something that like, you're able to be twice, or like,
you're able to be 100 times more powerful. You know, you can take
bigger moves of faith, because you have this thing going with
you. Right? And so I just encourage you like if that's
just stirring something in you, just be like, God or whatever
you can call him, the provider, father, whatever you want to
say, okay, just invite that relationship. Show me provision,
like, show me what that looks like. And make it like
undeniable that it's not me, it's you. Like, and just go on
the journey. Like, like, I went on like a, I mean, I'm still on
the journey, you guys are watching it at a different level
that's, you know, terrifying and peaceful at the same time,
right? But I had a whole like year of just like, really
learning this with God. And it was such a fun year. And I'm not
saying there wasn't scary moments in that year where it
felt like, this is the end. There's no more money, like all
the things. But like, I just saw like, winks from heaven in that
year so strong, that like, I'm still standing on those to this
day. And I've seen more. But like, I come back to those
stories. Like, I just know I this is how this is who I know,
God to be. And like, I know, we're going to be okay, I have
peace, I have supernatural peace. That does not make sense
to a lot of people. You know, because I've learned that. So if
that's, again, starting something and you just like,
just no fancy prayer, just like, hey, show me, show me. And then
just watch and look for it. Let's do two more shares here.
I think I see Andre, Andre mom is the name and then Amy, um, Amy, I think I see your
camera on me.
We start with you and then Andre mom, Andre's mom, maybe it is, I'm not sure.
And uh, and I do have to run, but, um, just one more reminder, we are moving the community
to the app, the Rainmaker app.
So go to your app store, look for Rainmaker family.
Um, when you sign in with the email you used for like the mastermind, it should connect
and everything, but in case it doesn't just hit up our support team.
Your family support, they'll get you all connected and we'll move this conversation
to the app.
Okay.
So Facebook, as of today, we'll like go like archived.
It'll still be there, but like you won't be able to post there.
So all the communities that go to the app and I'm recommending you take wherever Facebook
is on your phone that you're kind of used to like finding that little Facebook icon
and just like move it out of there and just put it in the Rainmaker app right there.
Cause you got that muscle memory of just going there and that'll remind you to get in there
and check it out.
And like, just engage, you know, let's, let's have a conversation around this.
Let's be real around it.
Um, let's be vulnerable, transparent, let's, let's share the miracles when they happen
and uh, uh, keep doing this journey together cause we are truly better together than we
are alone.
Like isolation is your enemy in this season.
So get connected and let's do it in the app.
Okay.
So Amy, uh, Tomaseo, Tomaseo, Tomasello, okay, um, let's go you.
And then Andre mom.
Okay.
So I just wanted to mention that I'm an OG Rainmaker.
I came September, 2022 and it was an advertisement that came up that showed, um, I was at a job
not making much money and it was either going to do medical billing schooling, which costs
$7,000 for one semester.
And I'm a single mom, full-time working this and that.
And I know myself, I do not do well in school.
I don't push myself, especially when it comes to school.
And I already knew that I was going to fail.
So when I saw the ad, I have always been an entrepreneur and I just knew that this was
what I needed to do in the time that I've been here.
I've learned so much that I can't even imagine what I've done.
I say to myself every day, how do you run a business?
How are you doing this?
Like, cause I'm kind of a ditz and, um, people kind of look at me like, and I'm like, yeah,
I own my own business.
I created it.
I created my brand.
I did this.
I did that.
Well, anyways.
Um, and then I got to go to seller summit and I've met so many amazing people and lifelong
friends and it was all about learning and resources and what to do and how to grow my
business and, you know, just meeting the rain makers that I've been meeting.
I met you, Steven, I met your wife, Chelsea.
It was just so impactful and I'm so happy that I got to take that opportunity.
And I also crossed off a couple of bucket lists and had my first business trip, got
to work on my two in one laptop, which when one time you said, how would you like to be
on the beach and just look and see that you're making money like that to me was like, Oh
my God.
So I was able to work on the beach at Fort Lauderdale with my laptop and just without
rain makers that would never have happened.
So I just want to thank you so much.
Thanks, Amy.
It was fun.
Hanging at seller summit.
It was awesome.
Seeing you.
I love hearing the stories.
You guys.
It's awesome.
Andre, Andre mom.
I don't think it's Andre.
I think it's Andre's mom on the call.
Can you?
I know my, my zoom always defaults to Andre's mom.
So hi.
Um, I just want to give a shout out to you guys.
Thank you so much for the transparency.
Um, and honesty, it's amazing.
It's a lot of things that it's not easy to do.
Um, but I just want to say thank you so much.
It's amazing.
A lot of people do it.
Um, and honesty, it's amazing.
It's a lot of things that it's not easy to do.
Um, it's the right thing to do, but most people don't.
And so it's really nice too.
Out that in this community, I've been in this community.
What?
Almost two years now.
And, um, I just want to shout out to our coaches, Jenny, and Janine Daniel.
Love you.
Um, uh, you guys do a lot more than for me.
Rainmakers become a lot more than just making the money through Amazon.
It's also been the mindset change.
Um, I'm on the other hand of what Amy was talking.
I'm a bookie person.
I have to master the habit masters in business, but the Rainmaker journey has pulled out that
is trying to pull out.
It's still pulling it out that CEO in me much better, even that my schooling and having
that freedom of setting your own pace, setting your own timing.
especially with kids, it's amazing. And I want to say, yeah, you guys affect a lot more than
us that you see here. I'm starting Mindset Timing with my kids. I have two teenagers and I'm having
to work on them. And I'm pulling the things I learned from here. I love coming on Mindset
every day. Every Monday, I'm always on here because those germs, you guys are affecting
families. You're doing a lot more. And personally, I have found out that the squeeze periods are when
I actually get to do more. It's when I get to achieve more. It's when I get to go higher
is when I'm in that squeeze period. It's something I've actually thought about recently. I'm like,
um, you're in a good spot now and you need to go back to those habits when you're in the squeeze
because that's when you're on top of your money. That's when you're looking at extra stuff to do.
That's when you're really checking and going higher generally. So, um, because of how much
you guys put out in this community, I know this company will keep going and you'll get past this
because you give out a lot more, um, generally. And, um, so I just want to say thank you for all that you guys do.
Thank you. Thank you so much, everyone. Thanks for being here and letting me,
letting me share just from my heart transparently. And, um, thanks for just, man, this, this community
is why it's like, whether the money is there or not, we're here, you know, like, and like,
we're committed to just keep in journey with you, you know? And, uh, I do believe
in like a really hopeful future for Rainmakers. I believe this is just part of our story,
another chapter, and, uh, it's going to be an incredible book, you know? Um, so thank you for
being with us in that again, we are going to move over to the app. I already said that. So keep an
eye out for that. If you haven't already get over there, get in there. Rainmakerfam.com is a way to
log in on your computer, or you can get the app from the app store. Um, we'll continue on like,
just keep it on coaching calls. So we're just, again, like, thank you for the grace as we're
kind of rearranging things. You might see some new faces, might see some old faces on calls for
a season. You might see some community faces on calls. We may have some community leaders kind
of leading some calls for a season. Um, and, uh, um, I know we didn't really talk about change very
much, you know, on this call, but I think where the direction we went was really powerful because
I think there is a change in this, you know, that is happening and you're being invited into it.
And so, um, love you all. Danielle, I'll pass it back to you. I got to hop over to
another meeting. Um, but I will be in touch. Okay guys, I'll see you guys in the app.
Okay. Um, I, we're just going to end this call, um, with just like a couple of links
just to make sure you all have everything you need. So as Stephen said, make sure you
hop into the app. Um, and then Janine, if you could drop the classes again, the classes,
uh, the coaching calls, my, I am like tired from this call and excited, but I'm tired. Um, and then,
um, could you drop an attendance link too? I totally like forgot about that. Does somebody
have an attendance link for this? Um, cause we're still going to be doing that too,
but there may be just like, you know, mindset Mondays are going to be every Monday. Absolutely.
We are sticking with that. We are sticking with a coaching call every single day, um,
to support you guys. Um, you just may see a couple, uh, new faces, old faces, um, and just
having that flexibility with us as we also shift on our internal team with our new changes, um,
to provide for you guys, we actually have quite a few really cool things in the works for you guys.
Um, literally next level support, because I believe when we go through fire, like beautiful
gold comes out, y'all know about this personally. And so it's no better. It's no different than,
than this, you know, we're going to literally have like a 3.0 experience in this community.
So get ready. Um, but we were in the process of building that. And I think what's really cool
is we're actually like, um, some of our strategy calls, you know, we're, we're praying in those,
we are taking time to care for one another. We are, we're really, um,
wanting to create something amazing for you guys. So, so it's, it's coming. Um, now some of you may
be switching over to a success coach, um, again, be flexible with us, be open, be a little gracious.
We're, we are.
We are in the process of figuring that out. We are making sure you are all taken care of.
And yeah, so I don't know if Melissa, Gabby or Janine or Jetta,
you want to say any last minute things about that?
Hey, everybody, I just want to say thank you. Thank you so many of you have been so gracious.
You should be hearing from if you're getting a coaching shift from your new coach within today
or tomorrow. You should hear from them. And for those of you who already have your coach,
you see your coach here, like she still will continue to be your coach. You're not going
to get another coach, but we will be sending out just some updates, just some updates that
are just going to help us serve you guys at the highest level. We really have been like
behind the scenes, like looking for strategies so that just like we were talking about today,
this can be an upgraded season, right? When we see change, sometimes we think it's going to be
worse. Our hope and prayer is really that it's going to be better. So how do we get you guys
the fastest answers? How do we get you guys to just feel really supported? That's going to come
in with additional support. You're going to have your success coach, but you're going to have some
other opportunities to lean into for continued support. So that's our goal. The success coaches
who are here, as you can imagine, have students to reach out to, and that takes a little bit of time
and shifting. So we're here for you. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach
out so we can get those taken care of. But we're looking forward to continuing with you guys and
just providing the best service moving forward.
Yay, yay, yay, yay. Can you drop the State of Union link again, Melissa?
We're going to drop that link for you. And yes, you should see everything in your app. So think
the app is going to, it's literally an upgraded version for what we have right now. It's all,
it's a one-stop shop. How amazing is that? Literally everything is in one spot instead of
go here for that, go here for that. So think about that's the upgrade here. So yes, everything
should be there in the app for you. Once you get in, it's literally like an app, like Stephen was
saying in your app store. And so we are in the process of updating that, putting all the calls
through that and all the things. So we are ready to go full live on that. Like Stephen said,
today's the last day we're streaming this call into the Facebook group. And then you will see
a lot of everything in the app. And the attendance link is for, I'm loving all these questions. Okay,
the attendance link is for accountability and we are creating a system on the backend at some
point to kind of show who's where. It also helps us coach to know who's been on what call. We can
see that on our backends. So that's a little bit of the attendance link. So, and then as far,
okay, any other questions?
Anything practically speaking, because next Monday we won't have this call, but there are,
you'll have your coaching calls every day this week.
And the courses are in the Rainmaker Academy app, which is what you all already have access to that.
Like that was what you get right when you're onboarded right away.
I'm just checking the, okay.
All right. Guys, relax on the attendance link. It's all good. You don't got to go back.
It's all good. Don't worry about that. Yeah, all good. Also, you can find the attendance links
also online. So they're under the replays. You can find those as well. And if you have a coach,
then I'm sure you guys, you'll talk about that as well. Any other last minute things, Melissa,
Gabby, Janine, Jenna, anything else? Is that, are we good? All right, y'all. We will see you guys
not next Monday. Okay. Cause you're going to be on break. We'll see you in the beginning of June
and grab the call this week that you need. And I'm so excited, so excited to see
all the wins that we, that's going to come from all of us in such a fun season. So thank
you guys for being here. We appreciate you. Bye.
Bye!
