A rainmaker is any person who brings clients, money, or respect to an organization based solely on his or her association. Traditionally, the term "rainmaker" applied to members of the legal profession, like attorneys-turned-politicians who retired from public life (forcibly or otherwise) and went on to practice law at nationally-recognized firms.
Over time, the term gained usage in many other industries and activities, including investment banking, political campaigning and public speaking. For example, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's association with the environmental movement caused numerous venture capital firms to add Gore as a partner in hopes that his "rainmaking" abilities would help them raise hundreds of millions of dollars for alternative energy initiatives.
In everyday usage, the term "rainmaker" can apply to anyone - from the salesperson who always finishes first in sales to the engineer who consistently finds innovative ways to present a company's products. In the purest sense, a rainmaker is a difference maker.
In business, a rainmaker is the person who ensures a business survives and thrives in any economy. The rainmaker is the one who brings in the clients and customers, the revenue, and the profits. It’s the rainmaker who saves their own “family” from the withering despair — and consequences — of failure.
In all cultures, the rainmaker is a powerful person. Secure. Respected. Paid-in-full!
Ultimately, the one who makes it rain makes the rules!
The traditional business rainmaker typically enjoyed some unfair advantage outside of traditional channels – this is how they made it rain. The right family, the right Ivy League connections, the right country club membership … privilege perpetuating more privilege.
The new age or modern rainmaker also enjoys an unfair advantage — except in this case it’s now available to anyone. This unfair advantage is available to anyone who understands (and acts on) how the new business generation of today works, thanks to the Internet. This unfair advantage is now built on the principles of attracting and engaging an audience, spending time online gaining knowledge and trying new and different approaches.
Unlike before in the old days, the unfair advantage has nothing to do with the circumstances of your birth and the family you were born into. The playing field is rapidly levelling out and you owe it to yourself to capitalize on this new arena and make possible today, what you weren't able to yesterday.
Changing Any Challenging Financial Situation
The Kipi Investment Opportunity presents an entirely new way for anybody across the world to earn an income and change their financial situation in a short space of time. The truth is that Kipi has enormous potential to do great and wonderful things for thousands of people.
I'm becoming a Kipi RainMaker, and so can you. First acknowledge 'What's Your Why', and know why you do the thing/s you do. Know what you want to achieve, then set the wheels in motion to achieve those things.
A good friend of mine said that getting to work is such an achievement for them. But getting to work on time, well that's the same as breaking a world record. My point is no matter what you set out to accomplish, every time you overcome a challenge make note of it and congratulate yourself.
That is what becoming a rainmaker is about - taking control, changing how the game is played, and in the process helping others.
