Beginning - A video is played, which features testimonials from people who have had success with the challenge.
1:37 - Cassidyy, one of the Rainmaker creatives, welcomes everyone to Day 1 of the Rainmaker Challenge. She encourages everyone to make this a “one tab event” so you can have your full attention to what you’re about to learn. As a new member of the Rainmaker community, it is important to understand some ground rules inside the group. We are givers, avoid negativity & bullying, and remember to refrain from posting outside advertising or affiliate links. She shares the Rainmaker mission statement, how to connect with them on socials, and that they earned the spot in Inc 5000 Magazine as the 2nd fastest growing company in education.
7:21 - Stephen delves into the essence of the challenge they're presenting, emphasizing its uniqueness and demanding commitment. This isn't a casual endeavor; it's an intensive challenge that demands dedication from day one. The program, a condensed version of their mastermind content, is accessible for a limited time, adding a sense of urgency. Unlike a neglected book on a shelf, this challenge exerts healthy pressure to drive value creation, much like diamonds forming under pressure. Stephen & Chelsey, drawing parallels to their past as camp counselors, likens the seven-day training to a transformative camp experience. Participants may start as strangers, but they'll form connections and grow exponentially throughout the challenge days and inside their Facebook challenge group. The challenge isn't solely about individual results; it's about fostering results that cascade into others' lives. They stress the importance of shared learning, not just successes but also failures, fostering a communal atmosphere focused on genuine growth. Their enthusiasm radiates through their words, promising an immersive journey of self-improvement and tangible change.
10:26 - Stephen pivots to the importance of action and its link to success. They present a daily action step, emphasizing the concept that "action takers are money makers" and therefore, “money makers are Rainmakers.” The analogy of a gym membership is employed to illustrate the different participant mindsets—those who are committed, those who are exploring, and those who exploit the system. The speakers express their intention to empower the audience through transparency and shared knowledge.
19:53 - They share their personal journey, emphasizing the joy and transformation they experienced from uncertain beginnings to building a thriving family. They recount their past struggles, highlighting a phase of pursuing multiple side hustles that yielded limited results. Through trial and error, they recognized the significance of leverage and shifted from trading dollars for hours to seeking highly leveraged opportunities. Introducing the concept of Amazon selling (FBA), they reveal the astonishing revenue potential showcased by successful sellers on the platform. They underscore Amazon's ongoing growth and the demand for products, leading them to explore the question previously of where these products originated. Transitioning from packing and shipping themselves, they realized FBA could handle these tasks, providing access to Amazon's prime members. Then they found a way to connect with manufacturers to create the products for them. This approach is a fourfold win: Amazon benefits from the enhanced supply, prime members gain access to tailored products, factories secure valuable connections, and the seller (Stephen & Chelsey) reaped rewards for facilitating these synergies. This is what they call the Rainmaker Method.
33:58 - Amazon and the Rainmaker method address three major pitfalls that hinder businesses. The first is the necessity to prove demand for a product, which the Rainmaker method overcomes by selecting products with proven data-backed demand. Secondly, many ventures lack time leverage, becoming excessively time-consuming. Amazon's infrastructure provides this leverage, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth rather than operational intricacies. The third challenge involves exhausting personal networks for sales, a hurdle bypassed by Amazon, where the customer base is already established. The Rainmaker method promotes business longevity, substantial income, and a fulfilling work-life balance. The journey involves work and commitment, but the payoff is sustainable passive income.
40:54 - The number one key to success is unveiled. The core of transformation lies in a deeper realization which involves shifting an idea from the mind to the heart. The concept is demonstrated through the Seven Levels Deep Experience, pioneered by Dean Graziosi, a renowned figure in online education. This exercise delves into the essence of one's desires, systematically questioning the underlying motives. The process unravels layers of thought, moving from initial responses to profound insights about oneself. An example shared by Chelsea illustrates the journey from a surface-level desire to its profound purpose. The Seven Levels Deep Experience becomes a rock-solid foundation during the highs and lows of entrepreneurial endeavors, emphasizing the power of one's unique journey and the impact it can make.
52:01 - Amidst a culture where negativity and fear are prevalent, the power of words cannot be underestimated. This pivot towards positivity aligns with the core theme of the challenge – discovering the profound "why" that propels success.
57:40 - Stephen and Chelsey bring on a current student, Jansen, who shares her powerful story of transformation. Amidst the darkness of depression and the weight of multiple jobs, she stumbled upon the challenge – a beacon of hope amidst skepticism. She went from feeling stuck in life to discovering the Rainmaker community and finding hope again. Through unwavering determination, she absorbed herself in learning, overcoming her apprehensions and embracing the Rainmaker ethos. The pivotal moment arrived when she experienced the seven levels deep exercise, reigniting her ability to dream and altering her trajectory. Her testimony resonates deeply, exemplifying the potential for positive change even in the darkest times. As Jansen affirms the importance of immersion within a like-minded community and a wholehearted commitment to action, her words mirror the essence of the Rainmaker method – a path she walked, achieving remarkable results.
