176. Is This The Best Personality Test? We Think So...09 août 202400:37:18

Hey Rainmakers! It's Stephen and Chelsey here, and in today's episode, we're diving into a topic that sparks a lot of curiosity and debate: "Is This The Best Personality Test? We Think So..." We're talking about the DISC assessment—a tool that we believe is incredibly powerful for both personal and professional growth! 

We've seen firsthand how understanding the DISC profiles has revolutionized communication within our team and coaching community. Whether you're familiar with personality tests like the Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, or StrengthsFinder, we're here to share why we think DISC stands out. 

Initially, our experience with DISC at a marriage retreat left us skeptical—something felt off, and we didn’t connect with our results. But when we revisited DISC in a business context, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place, transforming our approach to team dynamics and leadership. :) 

In this episode, we'll explore the four components of DISC—Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Compliance—and how these traits can influence the way you lead, communicate, and work. We'll share personal anecdotes about how we've integrated DISC into our business, using it to tailor our communication strategies and enhance team productivity.

Understanding DISC isn't just about categorizing personalities; it's about leveraging these insights to foster a deeper connection with those around you. By the end of this episode, you'll see why we require everyone in our organization and coaching programs to take this test, and why we embed these insights into our daily interactions on platforms like Slack.

So, if you're ready to uncover the secrets of effective communication and team building, or if you're simply curious about what DISC can reveal about you and your relationships, hit play now! This episode will equip you with the knowledge to not only understand DISC but to apply it in ways that can lead to profound transformations in your personal and professional life.

159. How You've Been Lied To About Work-Life Balance12 avr. 202400:27:42

Hey Rainmaker fam, it's Stephen and Chelsey here, diving into something we get asked a ton: How do you balance it all as parents running a business? Well, we're about to drop a truth bomb—you've been lied to about work-life balance, and we're here to set the record straight.

In this episode, sparked by our amazing 11th-anniversary dinner conversation, we're peeling back the layers on what balance truly means to us. It's not about dividing your time equally between work and family but understanding the weight each holds in your life. We've realized that our lives are made up of seasons, each demanding different levels of attention and energy from us.

So, if you're wrestling with the concept of work-life balance, remember, it's not about achieving perfection but about navigating life's seasons with purpose and grace. Let's dive into this conversation, rethink balance, and find ways to align our time and energy with what truly matters.

156. 3 Calendar Hacks For Busy Entrepreneurial Families22 mars 202400:28:24

Hey Rainmaker fam! It’s Stephen and Chelsey here, excited to dive into something that’s been a hot topic among our community: calendar hacks for the super busy. Yep, we’re talking about those of us juggling entrepreneurship, family, and everything in between. We’ve discovered three life-changing strategies that have seriously upgraded our efficiency and harmony at home and work.

First off, let's demystify this idea that structure equals restriction. If anything, we’ve learned that a little organization actually frees us up to do more of what we love. Think about it as setting up guardrails that guide you toward your goals without getting sidetracked.

So, what are these magical hacks, you ask? Number one is all about designing your dream week. Imagine a week where every piece fits just right: work, family time, personal care, you name it. We started by identifying what elements made our best weeks and used those insights to shape our ideal schedule.

Next up, we tackled the issue of switching costs – the time and mental energy lost when hopping between tasks. By theming our days to focus on specific types of work or activities, we've cut down on the chaos and upped our productivity big time.

Lastly, we’ve implemented what we call the Level 10 Family Meeting. This weekly check-in ensures we’re aligned on everything from business decisions to personal appointments, making sure the upcoming week is set up for success. It’s about taking those scattered to-dos and creating a clear action plan together.

These strategies aren’t just about getting more done; they’re about creating space for what matters most. By being intentional with our time, we’ve found more peace, deeper connections! 

So, whether you're navigating the waters of entrepreneurship, parenting, or both, remember that a little structure can lead to a lot of freedom. Hit play now to join us on this journey to master our time and live our dream life, one well-planned week at a time.

153. The Top Questions We Get About Selling on Amazon01 mars 202400:25:50

Hey there, Rainmakers! This week, we're diving deep into the heart of Amazon selling - addressing the burning questions that crop up time and again. Whether you're in the midst of our live challenge or simply curious about the ins and outs of selling on Amazon, this episode is for you! As we peel back the layers of starting an Amazon business, we're here to quell your curiosities and set the record straight on how accessible and impactful this venture can be.

First off, let's tackle the elephant in the room: Amazon's already bustling marketplace. It's a haven for entrepreneurs, offering a built-in customer base that's hard to find anywhere else. Imagine not having to worry about the ins and outs of email marketing or social media growth from the get-go. That's the beauty of Amazon. It's a platform where the customers are already waiting for you, ready to buy. And when it comes to logistics, Amazon's got your back with its all-encompassing fulfillment services. No more cluttered garages or late-night packing sessions. It's all about freeing up your space and your time.

Our journey into Amazon selling began with a simple goal: to launch a product. What started as a venture into selling a quirky fidget toy evolved into a profound realization of Amazon's potential to transform our lives. The platform's ability to handle the heavy lifting of customer service and logistics was a game-changer for us. It opened our eyes to the possibility of running a business without the traditional hassles of inventory management and shipping.

But what about those of you sitting there, thinking, "I'm not an inventor. I don't have a groundbreaking product idea." Good news! That's actually a great place to start. Amazon's marketplace thrives on data-driven decisions, not just innovative product ideas. By leveraging the wealth of data Amazon provides, you can identify high-demand niches and fill them with quality products. It's not about reinventing the wheel; it's about finding a wheel that's slightly better than the rest and making it your own.

Of course, the question of investment is inevitable. "How much does it cost to start?" you might wonder. While the figures can vary, we're here to demystify the financial aspect of launching an Amazon business. Comparatively speaking, the potential return on investment with Amazon can far outweigh the traditional routes of entrepreneurship, such as franchising or starting a brick-and-mortar business. With a strategic approach and a focus on calculated risks, your Amazon venture can start on a solid foundation without breaking the bank.

So, if you're feeling a spark of curiosity or even if you're on the fence about the whole Amazon business model, we encourage you to hit play and explore no further. Follow the link below and dive into our Family Freedom Challenge to get a comprehensive look at what it takes to make it on Amazon. This might just be the opportunity you and your family have been searching for. The potential is vast, and the time to start carving out your slice of the Amazon pie is now. Let's make it rain, together!

Imagine having a bucket, a place where all your potential rain – or in this case, customers – can gather. That's your email list. It's like building a house you own, rather than renting space on platforms like Amazon or Instagram.

But how do you fill this bucket? You create an irresistible offer – a lead magnet. It's about offering something so valuable that people willingly trade their email to get it. And once you have this set-up, spreading the word is your next step. Utilize every platform you have, from social media to product inserts, ensuring your lead magnet reaches as many potential customers as possible.

The beauty of email marketing lies in its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. With tools like Gmass and Flowdesk, setting up and sending beautiful, impactful emails has never been easier. Today we break it all down for you with actionable steps to leverage email marketing for your business.

So, Rainmakers, are you ready to catch the rain? Dive into this episode, learn how to build your bucket, create that irresistible offer, and amplify your reach. The time to start is now, and the tools are at your fingertips. Let's make it rain together!

150. The Power of the Pivot & How To Know When To Pull It Off09 févr. 202400:24:55

This week on the Rainmaker Family Show, we dive deep into the nuanced decision-making process of pivoting versus pushing through in both life and business. It's a topic that resonates with many of us, as choosing whether to make a significant shift or to stay the course can be pivotal to our success. Throughout our journey, we've encountered numerous crossroads—from career changes to personal milestones like marriage and parenting—each requiring a thoughtful approach to navigate.

We explore the idea that pivoting isn't about aimlessly jumping from one thing to another; it's a strategic move towards a more aligned direction. It's about assessing where we're headed and ensuring our actions align with our ultimate goals, like achieving family freedom through entrepreneurship. This doesn’t just apply to business; it's about life's big shifts and how to approach them with intentionality.

Consistency has been our cornerstone in every venture, from our early days in the wedding industry to building Rainmakers. It's the consistent effort, even in the face of uncertainty, that has fueled our growth. Yet, within that consistency, we've learned the importance of giving ourselves the space to pivot, to reassess, and to ensure our actions are in service of our broader vision.

Be sure to listen to the end to hear us touch on the significance of creating space for creativity and rest, especially during demanding times like the holiday season. It's a reminder that sometimes, stepping back is what propels us forward, allowing us to return with renewed energy and focus.

Today, we emphasize that pivots are not about changing who we are but how we get to where we aim to be. It's about leveraging our strengths in new ways and being adaptable in the face of change. And, importantly, it's about checking the 'fruit' of our efforts—ensuring that what we're doing is truly enriching our lives and aligning with our values.

This episode is a call to reflect on our paths, to consider when a pivot might lead us closer to our goals, and to remember that sometimes, the most significant growth comes from the most challenging decisions. So, whether you're contemplating a shift in your business, career, or personal life, we encourage you to hit play and press in as you navigate your journey with courage and purpose.

We are so inspired by Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, "Be Your Future Self Now." that we had to break down this idea for you on the show! This isn't about wishing for a better future; it's about living it in your current choices.

We open up about our personal experiences, showing how visualizing your future self can help you tackle challenging situations with confidence and grace. It's a powerful tool that turns intimidating scenarios into opportunities for growth and empowerment.

We also focus on the importance of vision. Setting goals and working backwards from your future self ensures your daily actions are moving you towards your dreams. Chelsey's approach to social media, choosing authenticity over perfection, is a perfect example of this.

147. Dyslexia: My Secret Weapon in Business19 janv. 202400:32:08

Hey Rainmakers, it's Chelsey here, and I've got something incredibly close to my heart to share with you today. For the longest time, I've kept my journey with dyslexia pretty private. But now, I'm ready to open up about how this supposed 'challenge' has actually become my superpower, especially in the world of entrepreneurship.

Growing up with dyslexia, I faced my fair share of hurdles and insecurities. Reading and writing were battles, and there were moments I felt like giving up. But here's the twist – those very struggles led me to develop some amazing strengths. 

I discovered a resilience I didn't know I had, a creative approach to problem-solving, and an ability to see the world differently. Little did I know, these traits were preparing me for success in entrepreneurship. Studies show that 20% of people have dyslexia, and most go on to be high performers and very influential! 

Join me as I dive into the heart of my experiences, the lessons learned, and how embracing dyslexia has empowered me. Whether you're navigating your own challenges or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode is for you. I'll also share practical tips on how you can embrace dyslexia and turn it into your own superpower too. So, hit play now and join the conversation!

139. Our Favorite Thing To Do With MONEY (try this!)24 nov. 202300:32:18

Hey Rainmakers! Today, we kicked off with a nod to the inspiring generosity of Jimmy Darts, known for his heartwarming acts of kindness videos on social media. His unique approach to giving, often focusing on the recipient rather than himself, sets the stage for our deep dive into the diverse ways we can all be generous in our daily lives.

Generosity extends far beyond financial means. It's about sharing time, attention, and creating meaningful moments. Simple acts like paying for someone’s meal at a drive-thru, leaving a larger tip for a server, or even just offering a helping hand to someone in need, can create a ripple effect of positivity and joy. We explored how these gestures, big or small, contribute significantly to the lives of others and enrich our own.

It’s so important to involve our children in acts of kindness. Making generosity a family adventure not only instills the value of giving in young minds but also strengthens family bonds. This can be as simple as choosing a family 'kindness day' where each member gets to pick an act of generosity, whether it’s donating toys, helping a neighbor, or even writing appreciation notes to friends and family.

In this episode we also give you creative ways to take action and practice generosity, like the 'ninja swipe' - discreetly paying for someone’s groceries or coffee, or using gig apps to surprise friends with deliveries. These thoughtful gestures, though small, can make a significant difference in someone’s day and oftentimes creating a ripple effect of paying it forward!

We want to challenge you to incorporate generosity into your everyday lives. It’s not about the magnitude of the gesture; it’s about the impact it makes. So, Rainmakers, let’s spread kindness in all the ways we can! Share your stories of generosity with us and let’s make it rain with kindness. To dive deeper into the joy of giving, and for all our practical tips on how to make this a part of your daily routines, hit play and listen to the full episode!

This conference taught us that the real magic happens in the lobbies, at shared tables, and in every conversation. It's where ambitious minds meet and collaborative futures begin. Building relationships with like-minded individuals and mentors is an investment that goes beyond any single event—it's the kind of capital that pays the best interest in the long run.

One of our favorite takeaways was a powerful message from leadership expert Jocko Willink about extreme ownership. It’s a simple yet revolutionary idea: embracing full responsibility for every outcome. This mindset shift is about being proactive in our decisions and responses, recognizing that accountability in both our successes and setbacks lays the groundwork for true progress as a leader. 

In the midst of learning and networking, it’s important that our healthy routines and lifestyles stay intact. A sound mind and body enable us to be present, engage fully, and forge connections that are both meaningful and productive. After all, it's the “ready to serve” mentality we bring to each interaction that often leads to open doors and new opportunities.

Integrating these encounters and teachings into Rainmaker strategies has us excited about the potential that lies in collaboration. The partnerships formed and the possibilities they present are as valuable as the strategies we've learned and we’re excited to bring some of those people onto the podcast in the future! 

Hit play and dive into our latest podcast episode as we unpack our top takeaways, sharing how forging new paths with others can amplify your business and personal growth. Let's harness the power of community and connection together, all while building successful businesses!

137. Calling Them Out vs Calling Them UP10 nov. 202300:58:06

Hey Rainmakers! We were recently featured on Stephanie Blake's "Powerful Parenting Podcast Journey," where we had the opportunity to dive into the reality of balancing entrepreneurship with family life. It was a fantastic experience, so we decided to share the full episode from her show here with you today! 

During our conversation, we go into what motivates us, how we manage our busy schedules without mom guilt, and learning to balance screen time - and more! This episode covers all things to help push your business forward while maintaining connection and free time with your family! 

Stephanie knows how to get to the heart of what it's like to manage these two full-time commitments. She loves working with parents to make powerful decisions for their family, raising world changers, and raising entrepreneur kids. We believe many of you can relate to the hustle of balancing business strategies with family plans, and we shared some insights that have helped us along the way.

Becoming parents made us realize the value of time spent with our kids. We wanted to create a lifestyle where we could choose to step away from the business when needed. As our youngest grows, we see just how quickly time passes, and how time is our most precious resource! We want to help moms have more time with their families and create meaningful moments together. 

As our businesses continued to grow, we realized we had to be really intentional about where we were spending our time and what tasks in the business really made sense for us. That’s why, towards the end of the show, we share the #1 strategy we have used to eliminate overwhelm and “mom guilt” while building our online business. This tip is a game-changer for ever rainmaker mama!

Hit play to join us for this powerful conversation as we share our journey and mission of leaving a thriving family legacy of connection and time together, all while building successful businesses!

136. How To Use "Value Stacking" To Get Paid More For Everything You Do03 nov. 202300:15:01

Welcome back, Rainmakers! Are you ready for a game-changing conversation that could reshape your perspective on business and life? We're about to share a technique that transformed our financial trajectory, and it's waiting to do the same for you. No matter your industry or niche, there's a blueprint to unleashing unparalleled potential and life-changing wealth. Are you intrigued yet?

Picture a packed auditorium buzzing with excitement and the music blasting, resonating with the energy of 5,000 people. It was in this electrifying environment that we had the once in a lifetime opportunity to be in the room with Tony Robbins. At one point he spoke directly to the crowd and posed a monumental question that sparked our revelation: "How can you give more value than anyone else in your industry?" This led us to the powerful concept of "value stacking."

Value stacking is about heightening the perceived worth of what you’re offering, so much that the price seems like a no-brainer. Whether it's a high-end beachfront property or the small conveniences we cherish in daily life, like paying extra for priority airline seats, it's all about understanding and delivering what your audience values most. 

During our time as wedding photographers, we recognized the universal desire to capture perfect moments. And at the same time, we saw the pain points that come with executing a wedding and offered solutions to those problems. So by tailoring our services, like offering unlimited photography hours, we stood out by providing unparalleled value.

Always aim to exceed expectations. Just look at a company like Uber. They disrupted the transport industry by redefining the value proposition. Your audience has specific needs and pain points. Identify them, brainstorm solutions, and consistently stack value on top of value until it becomes an irresistible proposition. When you prioritize this, the results can be phenomenal!

So, Rainmakers, are you ready to delve into this concept of value stacking? Hit play to understand how this can help you MAKE IT RAIN! Follow the links below to connect with us.

134. Would Your Business Pass the 2 Week Vacation Test? with Austin Netzley20 oct. 202300:37:36

Hey Rainmakers! We had an incredible chat on our podcast today with the brilliant Austin Netzley. He introduced us to this fascinating idea from his book, the “2 Week Vacation Test.” And let us tell you, when we first heard about it, we knew that we had to learn more! Between the three of us, we've experienced the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and Austin's perspective added a whole new layer of understanding.

We were genuinely moved hearing about Austin's journey. Here’s a guy, in his prime, running marathons, yet facing severe anxiety attacks due to business pressures. He even had to dial 911 twice! It made us realize the true weight many entrepreneurs carry, often silently. But here’s the twist - Austin found his saving grace in something as simple yet profound as systems. It isn't about adding complexity, but about finding simplicity in daily tasks through things like checklists.

A point Austin stressed on, which we think is worth its weight in gold, is that before adding anything new to your to-do list, you need to check what you should stop doing. As entrepreneurs, we're often running on overdrive, doing a ton but oftentimes achieving very little. By focusing on what's essential and streamlining your processes, you can free up so much mental and physical space.

Now, the burning question: What's the "2 Week Vacation Test?" Imagine jetting off for two weeks with no emails, no calls, and zero business contact. If your business runs, grows, and thrives in your absence, congrats! You've built a solid system. But if the mere thought sends shivers down your spine, it's time to reconsider your business structure.

Lastly, Austin talks about the importance of your day's start and end. Having a routine to kickstart your morning can make a massive difference. Austin champions the "done by 10:30" rule, emphasizing two hours of deep, focused work before diving into the usual business chaos. And at day’s end? A quick wrap-up routine to reflect, understand what worked, and prep for the next day.

So, to all the entrepreneurs out there, consider this: Can your business pass the 2-week vacation test? It’s a challenge, but one that promises not just efficiency but genuine peace of mind. If you're intrigued and want to dive deeper into this concept, hit play and listen in as we unpack the 2-week vacation test with Austin! Stay tuned for more of our chats and keep making it rain!

133. From Fast Food To Inc 5000 & The Moment Everything Shifted For Me13 oct. 202300:16:57

Hey there Rainmaker fam! Today, I've got a juicy story to share, all about the rollercoaster that was my journey "From Fast Food to Inc 5000". So, buckle up, it's gonna be a ride!

Picture this: I'm 16, wearing this white outfit, topped with a red hat and apron, clocking into one of my first high school jobs. It was lunchtime, and I was the only person at the register. Trust me, it was intense. I genuinely loved interacting with people and flashing a big smile. But, just as I started to think it was smooth sailing, BOOM! Unexpected lunch rush. Lines out the door, and, oh boy, it was chaotic.

Doing my best, smiling, repeating orders – trying to make sure everyone was satisfied. Then, this man comes along. His frustration was obvious, even before he got to me. And then, out of nowhere, he tells me: "You will never get anywhere in life." Ouch, right? Here I am, just a teenager, and this guy, with his son beside him, lays that on me. Honestly, I was so close to just bursting into tears.

Now, the good news is that it didn’t end there. Right after him, this angel of a woman steps up. She reads my name tag and says, "Chelsey, you are doing an amazing job." Those words. They meant everything.  That tiny moment became a turning point in my life. It reminded me of the power words have, and how they can either build someone up or tear them down.

Flash forward, and I’m proud to share that I went from being a fast-food worker to being recognized on the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America. It wasn’t easy – oh boy, there were challenges. Late nights, big bets on business decisions, products that didn't go as planned, but we pushed through. Stephen and I believed in ourselves, even when others didn’t. 

Now, what I want you to take away from this is simple. Always be the kind voice in a room, and surround yourself with those who lift you up. Because success isn’t about luck, it's about making that choice, and persevering. Whether it’s in business, relationships, or personal goals, always remember: you’re doing an amazing job. So hit that play button, get ready to be inspired, and let’s keep pushing, growing, and supporting each other.

132. How This One Simple Spreadsheet Can Predict The Future in Your Business06 oct. 202300:27:11

Hey Rainmakers! We're excited to have you back with us, ready to dive into a topic that’s been huge for us – Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs. These guys have been a game-changer in our business and personal growth journey. But hold on, because there’s something else we're excited to share: scorecards.

Thinking back to a time before we became the Rainmakers, navigating the unknown waters of entrepreneurship as wedding photographers without KPIs or scorecards. It was all gut feelings and hope, filled with anxiety, especially during those lean months.

Now, fast forward to our days as Rainmakers, and KPIs and scorecards have become our guides. Think of KPIs as the metrics on your scorecard – the lines that provide clarity and direction. It’s like creating a game where you make the rules and keep score to determine if you're winning or need to change things up.

Whether you’re just starting out or steering a business towards scaling new heights, KPIs and scorecards are your friends. They act as a safety net during the slow times and can predict the future path for your business’s growth. Here at Rainmakers, we’ve woven scorecards into our daily operations, using them to set goals, make predictions, and gain cool insights.

Ready to start your KPI journey? All you need is a basic spreadsheet, like a digital scorecard. Create a list of the responsible parties and the KPI categories, similar to the rows and columns of a scorecard. Set up quarterly goals that align with your big vision. Focus on a few key metrics that really drive your business. 

Our Rainmakers experience is living proof of the awesome power of KPIs and scorecards. By zeroing in on the top three drivers of your business, tracking them religiously through your scorecard, and setting real goals, you'll see amazing growth. 

Are you ready to take a deeper dive into the world of KPIs and scorecards? Hit that play button now to gain access to insights that can set you on a path to success like never before!
