Preying on Moms
I have been through the Challenge and bought into the up-sell into the Mastermind in hopes of giving my family a stream of passive income. Unfortunately, after buying into the Mastermind and then renewing for a second year out of desperation, I came to the realization that their marketing practices are deceptive and based on lies. They lie about how much people are making on Amazon by sharing only gross sales volume and not net profit. They lie about it being a passive income stream. (Everyone I know has to work constantly no matter how well they are selling) And finally, they lie about the overall ability to compete on Amazon with overseas manufacturers. (Amazon strongly favors foreign manufacturers with their policies and fees) I am now filing for bankruptcy as a result of following their program and I am nowhere near alone in that. Unfortunately MANY of the women and families that joined when I did are in the same boat. Stephen is a charismatic speaker, but his words are hollow and deceptive, and his financial success has been built on the backs of ruined moms and families. Edited to add: Their reply to me states that they provide a range of possible outcomes and are committed to transparency. However they consistently and aggressively censor and silence anyone with negative outcomes, not only in public comments but also in the private, paid-for membership community. I leave the readers of this review to decide for themselves whether this is a hallmark of a transparent company.

Hi Lindsey, Thank you for sharing your perspective. We completely understand how some results can seem extraordinary. Our intention is to showcase the range of potential outcomes that our students have achieved, knowing that individual results vary based on factors like commitment, time, and unique circumstances. We aim to provide tools, support, and strategies that have worked for others, but we understand that everyone’s journey is different. We are committed to transparency and never intend to mislead anyone, we ensure we are being as clear and honest as possible about what it takes to succeed in this space, including the work involved and the challenges of competing in a global marketplace. Starting an online business can be challenging, especially with the complexities of competing on Amazon. It's disheartening to hear that the program hasn’t led to the results you were hoping for. If there’s anything specific you’d like help with or want to discuss in more detail, we’re here to support you as best as possible. Warm regards, Your Rainmaker Family
