Great class! I feel that finally writing down my vision statement has allowed me to focus my intensity and drive in a means that is now almost palpable. I am also writing to ask if you could send me brand new copies of all of the pages within our Rainmaker U. binder, so that I may clean up the scribbling mess that I now have and properly organize my thoughts.

Thanks again, and I also look forward to your unedited professional analysis of my personal website when you find the time.

I just wanted to let you how jazzed I was by yesterday's class.  I woke up at 4am this morning and starting chipping away at next quarter's goals.  I turned a corner yesterday because my mind was ready to accept it.  Also, I'm almost finished with The Power of Intention and have never been more open minded and positive.  Additionally, I didn't even realize how much I had accomplished in the last quarter (which only contributes to the high).  So, thank you very much for your guidance.

Looking forward to what's next!

I thought you might be interested to know that my first quarter earnings in 2005 were twice that of my first quarter earnings in 2004. I have no doubt that this is, at least in part, due to Rainmaker. Can’t wait for the next class!

Jocelyn Baker, Principal
GhostWriters Anonymous

The tools and ideas I received from the class have helped me greatly in building my business.

David Fenton
Fenton & Ross

Thanks for another great session. I really enjoyed the class (I learned a lot and have a lot of work to do). I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

Michael Odell, Principal
Warner Pacific Properties

After 23 years of sales experience, Rainmaker U. came into my business life at just the right time. Instead of going through a mid-life crisis I get nourished and challenged by educating myself and associating with successful businessmen and women who are great people.

David Griffin
Equity Title Company

Excellent! Great job yesterday during our workshop and at your event. I loved the line -- "Harvard Business School" of business development. You are the brand wizard!

Shea Gordon, Vice President
Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Your white card, green card box concept helped me land a new client. I was able to follow up with him consistently for 6 months in a row and after the 7th contact he booked an appointment and a sale was made. Your box system made it easy and simple to follow up and drip on new prospects. Thanks for the simple but impactful tip.

Dave Welch, President
Austin Taylor, Inc.

Just a note to say thank you for last Thursday's presentation and last night's networking event. It was a great experience, not just because of the awesome food! Your presentation on Thursday revealed what an accomplished speaker you are and how vitally important your content is for the businessperson. I have
heard, in person, many professional speakers (my favorite is still Jim Rohn) and I can say that you are definitely world class! I am excited about the start of Rainmaker next week (I have already learned much from your preparation worksheet) and look forward to being stretched beyond my comfort zone and forever change the way I deal with my business.

Thanks again and see you next week.

Brad Lyon, President
FS Management

What I learned today in class will take my business to the next level. You are a class act all the way!

Robert Pagliarini, MSFS, CFP, President
Pacifica Wealth Advisors, Inc.

Great session last week. I really got a lot out of it. Thank you so much for impacting my life. I really feel blessed to be a part of RU.

Dave Welch, President

Another direct hit as a result of Rainmaker U. I just picked up a new client at the Rainmaker U. networking event.

Tim-

I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to the 15 second commercial. Ever since I have been using it I have been able to talk to CPA's, Accountants, Bookkeepers and Insurance agents. These contacts are vital to my business and I have increased my business by at least 50%.

Steve Mass, Principal
SGM Group

My article on Execution Culture (the one which mentions TOB and The Personal Branding Group) has been accepted for national publication in Property/Casualty magazine.

Tim, this is a good example of how things work . I spent some time on vacation working up the topic and outline...a couple of hours writing up the article...not the best ever, but insightful...and when I returned to the office, I spent...literally...about 30 minutes on internet hunting up a national publication...submitted the first few paragraphs of the article (to the hook)...and sent it off...

WITHIN 5 MINUTES, I HAD TWO POSITIVE RESPONSES...

I submitted the remaining portions of the article and it has been accepted...

CHECK THE TIME OF THIS LETTER .... !!!!!!! I started on "publication" about 9:45.

My first letter was sent out at 10:08...

Richard L. Charnley, Esq.
Ropers, Majeski, Kohn & Bentley

Thanks to Rainmaker U. I scored another huge new client!

Phillip X. Tirone
United Pacific Mortgage

One of the things I like best about the Rainmaker program is that I've learned specific ways to connect with other successful people who can help me take my business to the next level. Using these techniques, I connected with one of my colleagues in the program who subsequently referred me a new client. Through connecting with that client, I've received 5 additional solid business referrals, with promises of more to come.

Thanks to Rainmaker U. pushing me to look for innovative ways to promote my brand, Austin Taylor was just featured in a huge article in the Orange County Register!

David Welch, President
Austin Taylor, Inc.

I’ve been trying to get in the door with a certain, very successful real estate agent for two years with no success. Lo and behold I walk into a Rainmaker U. networking event and who do I see?! Due to the fraternity of Rainmaker U. there was an instant connection.

Phillip X. Tirone
United Pacific Mortgage

Quite honestly, I thought Tuesday's class (Year Two Session A) was so helpful, I am very appreciative. The whole process has been so worthwhile, but I felt like after Tuesday's class....I get it. I really get it.

Chris Rising, President
The Rising Real Estate Group

As a result of my participation in Rainmaker U. I was recently honored by my company, Travers Realty Corporation with a promotion to Senior Vice President after receiving a standing ovation at the company meeting by the entire corporation acknowledging the progress that I was able to achieve with my own personal development.

Ted Attalla, Sr. Vice President
NAI Capital, Inc.

Having invested over $100K in many different professional coaches, Rainmaker U. and Tim O'Brien have been the best return on the dollar and the most fun.

Curtis Estes, Founding Principal
Strategic Benefits Group

I have been working with Tim and Rainmaker U. for 3 years and have been able to double my income every year as a result.

R. Wesley Sierk, III, CLU, CHFC
Risk Management Advisors, Inc.

Today’s session alone (Year One, Session C) was worth the entire cost of the program!

Anthony Marguleas, Owner
Amalfi Estates

By applying the techniques and lessons of Rainmaker U., I’ve been promoted to partner and increased my compensation by 20%.

J. Ted Vidmar, Partner
Raimondo Petit Group

I picked up two multi-million dollar cases as a result of my involvement in Rainmaker U. which I would otherwise not have gotten.

Byron T. Ball, Esq.
The Ball Law Firm, LLP

Thanks for the kind words on your holiday card – your lessons, energy and inspiration have profoundly impacted me and are major catalysts to the change and growth you’ve witnessed and influenced. Just a “thanks” seems hollow but I’m confident that all things come around and I’ll be able to repay your gifts!

P.S. Signed the full exclusive on a $100 million deal in Texas on 12/19 and a $65 million in Orange County today (12/29)! Just need to get ‘em done now!

FYI...Between us, I wanted to give you a heads up that Entrepreneur Magazine selected me as their Entrepreneur to watch for the next year. They are going to start a new column called “Real Life” that will follow me and the business for the next 12 months, with the column first appearing in April ’04.

I really owe big thanks to you for helping me to think outside the box and go for it. I got the idea to pitch this concept after our first Rainmaker meeting.

It took a few months to come together, but I think it is a great opportunity for the business.

Scott Duffy, Founder/CEO
Smart Charter, Inc.

Here’s what I told a friend of mine about your program. I’ve deleted his name for confidentiality purposes.

"...you have to take a leap of faith on this one. Trust me. And, in case you are wondering, and I don’t think you are, I don’t make a dime off people I refer to Tim. Tim has worked with the McNicholas firm since its inception and I have sent no less than 10-12 other people/firms to him, all of which have signed up for Year 2. Basically, he is a strategic marketing and business consultant. He has helped me a great deal focus and improve my efficiency in all aspects of my life including my marketing efforts and law practice. Since we started with him a year ago, I have signed up two potential 8 figure cases and one “9” figure case through his direction and efforts. You have way too much talent and positive energy to tap into and you can’t do it in the confines of the professional culture you work in; you need outside perspective. Plus, you will meet a number of other business guys and attorneys whom you can develop relationships with – most make 250 to 1M."

Byron Ball, Esq.
The Ball Law Firm LLP

I cannot thank you enough for the outstanding job you did for our firm. We could not be more pleased with your performance and the fruits which have been born as a result of your efforts. The “box system” paid for itself within the first month of implementation and its systematic use has proven to be a powerful marketing tool. At this point, it’s hard to imagine running our practice without it.

Patrick McNicholas, Esq.
McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP

For me, RU is about getting comfortable being uncomfortable. Looking for risks and taking them rather than seeing them and running the other direction. The shift for me has been primarily in the way I think. By addressing the fundamentals of my business and life in each RU session, I really get the power I have to create my life and business EXACTLY the way I want it to be. RU was/is an investment that for me is like a tree that takes time, care, and daily attention for the techniques and skills to fully mature and bear fruit - and transfer directly to increased revenue in my business. As a business owner, I know from my gut that by applying the principles that I've learned from RU, I am well on my way to achieving whatever it is I want for my business now and in the future.

If it wasn’t for Rainmaker U...I would have never worked to get quoted by the leading nationally syndicated columnist in my industry (see quote below).

Hey Phil,

Saw your name in the paper [Sunday, Los Angeles Times]. Converting interest only loans over before the rates go up. Very impressive. Very happy to see your name in the paper. Have a client that has three properties. One in California, one is in Talus, N.M. wants to refinance and pay off one of the loans. Curious to know rates on a 15 year fixed, 30 year fixed. Please call me Wednesday.

Through an introduction made by Rainmaker U., I recently landed a Fortune 500 company as a client.

Alex Calfo, Esq.
Yukevich, Calfo, & Cavanaugh

When I first started Rainmaker U. I barely made 200k. I thought if I made 300-350k that would be great. If it took a while O.K., I was willing to extend the effort and time in order to get there.

Well… This year I am tracking to make at least 300k! Yes!!! More importantly what your courses have given me is the vision to see that I can and will be able to make 500-700k. It really changed my point of view.
