Hey there Rainmakers! It’s Stephen and Chelsey! The term "overnight success" is thrown around so casually in today's world, making it seem as if success appears out of thin air. But if we've learned anything from our journey, it's that real success resembles tending to a garden more than a lightning strike. Think about it: a garden requires patience, nurturing, care, and a lot of continuous effort. Sure, there are days when the flowers bloom suddenly, making all your hard work seem magical, but true success stands tall on a strong and enduring foundation.
During our recent Rainmaker Challenge, we taught about the essence of consistency. Our collaboration wasn't just about two minds coming together; it was a confluence of our strengths, a refining of our strategies, and, most importantly, growing and evolving together. It wasn't always easy, but we found beauty in the process, realizing that this iterative approach is what fuels resilient partnerships.
We look into examples of success like Steve Jobs and Michael Jordan. Their stories are not just tales of talent but epics of dedication and relentless pursuit of greatness. They remind us that while the hustle is indeed vital, it's the journey of continuous self-improvement that sets one apart. Without a clear vision and direction, even the most intense effort can be fruitless.
So, what's our secret sauce? It’s a combination of deep domain mastery and crafting efficient systems. This blend allows us to channel our energies effectively, ensuring that every effort, every late night, every brainstorming session is in alignment with our ultimate vision. We learned early on that random hard work won't get you far; it's consistent, directed effort that makes waves.
So, while the allure of "overnight successes" is tempting, it's essential to peek behind the curtain. Every monumental achievement, every headline-grabbing success has a backstory, one of passion, unwavering commitment, countless setbacks, and above all, vision. For those eager to hear more about our story, this episode is just a click away. Hit play and join us on our journey!

Welcome to another episode of the Rainmaker Family Show! Today, we've got a fantastic guest with us – Mindy Linscomb. She's not only the owner of one of the largest bridal stores in America, but she's also the host of the popular Something New show across various platforms. And guess what? She's been running her business for over 14 years while being a dedicated mom. 
Mindy's journey is a powerful blend of entrepreneurship and motherhood, proving that these paths aren't separate but can indeed coexist. It's a road that many might find daunting, but she's here to share some invaluable insights that can help you navigate this exhilarating, yet challenging, journey.
Mindy opens up about the unique dream many of us have – the dream to be both a successful entrepreneur and a dedicated parent. It's that tug of war between chasing professional goals and cherishing family time that can leave you feeling like you're straddling two worlds. However, Mindy is living proof that finding equilibrium is possible!
In a world where work and family often seem to be at odds, Mindy's experience shines a light on the balance we all strive for. It's about embracing the power of structure, which ironically, paves the way to freedom. Mindy emphasizes that the key to this balance is clarity. Clear perspective, clear commitments, and clear boundaries.
One of Mindy's gems of wisdom is carving out distinct times for work and family. Imagine turning off the work mode completely when it's family time, and vice versa. This simple yet profound strategy is rooted in being truly present in the moment. This idea of "eyeball time," where you're fully engaged with your kids when you're with them, and completely immersed in work when you're at your desk, can drastically diminish that infamous guilt that many working parents know all too well.
But what about those moments when it all seems overwhelming? Mindy has a strategy here too – and it involves rest. Yes, rest. She advocates for making big decisions from a place of rest and clarity, not exhaustion or overwhelm. It's a reminder to avoid making major life choices when you're at your wits' end.
Now, for the nitty-gritty of business. Mindy is a true Rainmaker, exemplifying how you can thrive even in an industry as dynamic as the wedding business. She shares her insights on making impactful first impressions, whether through digital channels or in person. The secret sauce? Capturing the essence of your brand's vibe and using personalized touches to make your interactions unforgettable.
Mindy's journey is one of evolution, from working at all hours to implementing schedules that respect both her business and her family. It's a testament to the transformative power of recognizing your commitments, setting clear boundaries, and seeking support where needed. The result? A thriving business, flourishing family connections, and a sense of fulfillment that truly embodies the Rainmaker spirit. It's all about embracing structure, cherishing presence, and making decisions from a place of clarity.

Hey there, Rainmakers! We've all heard about credit scores, credit cards, and debt. The word ‘credit’ often evokes fear in many, thanks to the numerous misconceptions surrounding it. However, on the show today, we had the privilege of hosting a unique guest, Brandon – someone who takes the art of credit and turns it into something spectacular. He is the guy you'd want on your team if you want to debunk the myths about credit!
It's surprising how many myths are out there about credit. Some believe it's harmful, some stress that if you can't afford it in cash, then you shouldn't use credit at all. As Brandon highlighted, many don’t realize that on your credit report, the lenders actually prefer to see 21 or more total accounts. In other words, having less can hurt your score.
The bottom line is, many are unaware of how credit can be a powerful tool. The wealthy have used it to their advantage for decades. As Brandon explained, businesses wouldn't last more than a few days without credit. Think of Elon Musk and his genius strategy with the Tesla truck; a $100 deposit offer for a truck that wasn't even built yet! With that proof of concept, banks were willing to loan, without Musk having to dig into his own pockets.
But it’s not just about the Elons of the world. Even you and I can leverage credit in brilliant ways. For Brandon, the path wasn't easy. Growing up in difficult circumstances, facing adversities, and even suffering a traumatic explosion accident in 2013, life threw numerous challenges his way. But adversity also brought clarity. The accident left him in debt for the very first time, but  rather than let that deter him, he took it as a challenge.
Diving deep into the world of credit, he quickly understood its vast potential. Today, he uses credit to invest in real estate, proving that it isn't about where you start but where you aim to go. Through leveraging credit, Brandon found an avenue to reduce risk and give himself an advantage.
Credit, when understood and used wisely, isn't the monster under the bed. It's a tool, and like any tool, its effectiveness lies in the hands of the user. So, the next time you hear the word ‘credit’, think of it as a door to endless possibilities, if only you hold the right key.
So hit that play button and get ready to harness the true power of credit. Your financial game plan is about to get a major upgrade!

What does your future hold?
Welcome back to the Rainmaker Family Show! Today we dive into what we think is going to happen. Ect in the exciting future of Rainmakers, Tech, Amazon, AI's impact on human connections, and the evolving income landscape plus more! 
Picture this: a future where Rainmakers is a household name, synonymous with transformation and empowerment. Our community is on a journey to empower mothers through personal development. But it doesn't stop there. We're expanding our horizons, focusing not only on financial success but also on holistic well-being and authentic family ties.
What's on the horizon? Rainmakers is stepping into new territory by introducing a fund for mother-owned e-commerce ventures. This groundbreaking initiative connects investors with promising businesses, fostering growth and mutual success.
Speaking of the future, let's talk AI. It's not just robots and automation; AI is a creative force. It's composing art and writing that's strikingly human-like. Yet, amidst this AI revolution, authenticity shines brighter than ever. People crave genuine connections with real individuals, not AI-generated personas. In a world flooded with information, personal brands emerge as beacons of trust.
As AI takes over mundane tasks, the value landscape shifts. People are willing to pay for convenience, driving the demand for "done-for-you" solutions. This trend isn't just about efficiency; it's about the freedom to focus on what truly matters.
Value creation evolves through tiers. We're moving from hands-on work to managing AI and people. The rise of AI opens new avenues for income generation, reshaping traditional career paths.
Cultural shifts are often reflected in the media, and today, authenticity takes center stage. The choices we make regarding our careers and families reflect this shift. Some choose independent pursuits, while others prioritize close-knit family connections.
While the future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Rainmakers is leading the way. We're embracing the unknown with open arms, empowering mothers, fostering authentic connections, and redefining income generation in the age of AI.

Hello Rainmakers! In this episode, we delve into a topic that's a must-listen for parents with kids and an interest in finances. If you're someone who's got both these aspects in your life, or even if you're planning to have kids someday, this episode has some valuable insights in store for you.
Chatting with Scott, a leading figure in the realm of financial education for children, we get the scoop on when and how parents should start discussing money matters with their little ones. It turns out, the right time to introduce money concepts to kids is much earlier than most people might think—around three or four years old. Scott illustrates this with a heartwarming example of his own five-year-old daughter, who successfully ran her own business selling flower vases and made an impressive $280!
Scott raises the point about the absence of comprehensive money education in schools. While they might touch on it occasionally, they rarely provide the in-depth financial skills necessary for kids to navigate the real world. This is where parents need to step in and fill the gap, transforming the home environment into a hub for learning essential money skills.
Coming from a background spanning four generations of wealthy entrepreneurs, Scott highlights the importance of passing down heritage rather than mere inheritance. This heritage encompasses not just monetary value, but also emotional and spiritual dimensions, along with stories and life lessons. The focus shifts from creating wealth to creating value—value that is broad and meaningful in all aspects of life.
But here's the really exciting part of the conversation: Scott introduces the Gravy Stack app—a game-changer in the world of teaching kids about money. This app transforms the learning process into an interactive game, allowing kids to take on challenges while discovering key concepts about money, banking, and investing. An ingenious family economy system is part of the app, enabling relatives to assign tasks and share their own wisdom with the young ones.
The Gravy Stack app isn't just beneficial for kids; it's a game-changer for parents as well. It provides parents with a clear roadmap for fostering positive money conversations with their children. With the Gravy Stack app, Scott has simplified the process of teaching kids about money, making it an engaging and dynamic experience.
Hit play to join us in uncovering the secrets to raising financially savvy and responsible kids. Get ready to reshape your child's financial future with insights that go beyond dollars and cents!
