    Apr 26 2024
    Hey Rainmaker family, Stephen and Chelsey here! In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to have Martine share her transformative journey into entrepreneurship. It’s a story of self-discovery, resilience, and realizing that sometimes, the best way to save a relationship is to start something for yourself. Martine's journey began in a moment of personal crisis, feeling resentful and stuck as her husband pursued his hobbies. This discomfort led her to a pivotal conversation with a mentor who challenged her to find her own path. Her mentor’s advice was clear and life-changing: "He's not wrong. You need to find something to do." This wasn’t about finding just any hobby—it was about finding purpose and direction. Through her story, Martine brings to light the struggles many face in finding balance between personal desires and family life. She talks about how entrepreneurship not only helped her find joy but also improved her relationships with her family. Her business ventures allowed her to forge a new identity beyond being a wife and mother—she became a creator, a mentor, and a leader in her own right. This episode is packed with insights for anyone feeling stuck or looking for a way to revitalize their life through entrepreneurship. Whether you're a stay-at-home parent feeling overwhelmed by daily routines or someone contemplating a business venture, Martine’s experiences underscore the importance of taking that first step towards something new. So, dive in, explore the possibilities, and remember, sometimes the best way to enrich your relationships is to invest in yourself first.

  • 159. How You've Been Lied To About Work-Life Balance
    Apr 12 2024
    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. Reflecting on our journey, we noticed that our growth, both personally and together, has been all about embracing these seasons. Whether we were navigating the early days of our marriage, parenting, or building our business, we learned that balance isn't a one-size-fits-all formula. It's about prioritizing what matters most, communicating openly, and being intentional with our time and energy. 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 Families
    Mar 22 2024

    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.
