Description

Hey there, Rainmakers!

How do you go from planning weddings to building a powerhouse mortgage business doing nearly $50 million, all by the age of 28, while raising two babies, moving three times with your active-duty husband, and running a family team? That’s exactly what my guest, Rachel Robole has done.

Rachel’s story is a masterclass in drive, resilience, and vision. She shares how she left behind her “dream job” in event planning, discovered the life-changing impact of homeownership, and jumped into the mortgage business alongside her father. Together, they set out to do $36 million this year — and they’re on track to blow past $50 million!

What I love about Rachel is her clarity of purpose. She knows she’s building a legacy, not just a business. She’s navigating the messy middle of motherhood, leadership, and growth — and doing it with a mindset that every Rainmaker needs to hear.

💡 What we cover in this episode:

  • The turning point that led Rachel from wedding planning to mortgages
  • How she balances military life, motherhood, and mortgage success
  • Why she believes in “stewarding her gifts” and leaving people bigger than she found them
  • Building a family team with her dad and sister — and the lessons learned
  • The power of Catalyst coaching, micro-decisions, and staying consistent in the chaos
  • Rachel’s approach to networking as a Trust Builder and connector

Rachel is proof that with clarity, discipline, and heart, you can build a thriving business while living a full life.  Are you ready to make it rain? Let’s do this!
